Some comments on the budget. We hear a lot of talk about plans and subsidies which will create Millions of Jobs. What we also hear are the words "jobs of the future" What does that mean? Well I don't think the Budget framers know what that means at all. Job creation depends on
Consumers consuming a product or a service. That product or service depends on the demand for it. The making of the product or service depends on the skills of the maker of the product and the price of the product or service depends on the cost inputs of the product or service..
In real marketing language, this is called a master budget, where the market is evaluated extensively, the opportunity is dissected in detail and the required skills and expertise to produce a quality outcome defined. NONE of this has been done by the Australian Government, they
don't have the expertise to do this analysis or to evaluate the skills needed to make the product or service. All they do is talk bullshit about the Jobs of the future and the skills needed to achieve those jobs. That is why the Liberal party Budget is deep in the cess pit of
Political speak. Morrison is a master of it and Fried egg burger is just fried. The whole thing is not worth the reams paper its written on.

There is a whole load of Press going on at the Moment about @JennyMikakos and what she has said about @DanielAndrewsMP . Can I suggest that before making a judgement about all of this, people actually read Jenny's submission to the Hotel Inquiry. quarantineinquiry.vic.gov.au/sites/default/… ........
Its also a good idea to have in the back of your mind when reading it, the nature of the Pandemic and the Decision of National Cabinet to depart from the defined responsibilities of the Commonwealth under Section 51 of the constitution and the Biosecurity Act. Responsbility that
was devolved to the Victorian State Government and other State Governments by a decision of National Cabinet. Having cast off that responsibility, a time frame of 36 hours was defined for the Victorian Government to respond and set it up. Jenny's submission points out to the
Wow who was the reporter who was the Legal Expert on the Emergency management Legislation and the telecommunications interception Act federally? She also used the religion word Recant when asking Questions about commissioner crisp.
Ok lets pick apart the Question. The Question was (my words) Why shouldn't Andrew Crisp be stood down because he has a duty to brief the Minister under Section 32 of the Emergency Services Act 2013 and given he recanted his testimony to the Inquiry into Victoria's response
to covid 19. The transcript of which can be found here. parliament.vic.gov.au/paec/inquiries… The reporter also said under Section 29 the Commissioner could be stood down,Suspended or removed. She then asked Why Andrews doesn't have him removed. The Press conference link is here........
I would just like to pen a message to all Journalists. I bought my first computer in 1981. It was a knock off of an Apple IIE, it had 5 inch floppy drive and Mouses weren't even a thing then someone said to me what can you do with that? And truth be known wasn't much. However...
39 years later. I look at my Personal computer and say "What can't I do with that" The Point of my little story is what Journalists call "The Digital Disruption" It is nothing of the sort, it's really the technological revolution, akin to the Industrial revolution which
began in 1700 when Jethro Tull invented the seed drill and continued through the Industrial revolution when the Steam engine was perfected and all sorts of machinery "disrupted" working conditions. And so today 39 years after the first O'Grady computer, the Newspaper are nearly
Last Evening the @abcnews reported that PPE was scarce in Hospitals and nursing homes. This morning along the bottom of the screen They reported Nurses and hospitals are finding difficulty getting PPE. I want to report some real news. ON Wednesday 5th August, I attended the
Heidelberg repatriation hospital for a procedure. (See appointment letter later in this thread). It was mylast three monthly check up after getting rid of bladder cancer. I now go to 6 monthly checks. When I arrived, there was only one area where I could enter the Centaur
building, It was staffed by Nurses with Scrubs, plastic over garments, masks and plastic visors as well as gloves. On the table was a box of surgical masks for patients if required. It was full (50 masks). I was checked for temperature and my details were taken. I was given a tag
I just want to make a couple of comments about the Stimulus packages under the Rudd government and how they were taken by the Press and also the coalition Government. Oh and I want to say also that anything I say in here I have analysed using the ABS data.
Firstly the GFC happened very very Quickly (within a Month) but that was easy to see with aftersight So it was a great idea to go early and go hard. Some of the Economic pundits weren't worth their expensive services. The rating Agencies for instance. Praised Lehman Bros one min
And the next minute they had closed down. A huge closure and they didn't pick it either. The Coalition proceeded to take the piss out of Kevin Rudd and the Labor party big time, blowhards like Hockey and Morrison and Abbott (remember him?) leading the charge. If you don't believe
@murpharoo It's pretty simple really Katherine, The Minister had no Lawful Authority to approve the grants. That was vested in Sport Australia under the the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989. On Page 19 of the Auditor general's report it says the following. ...
@murpharoo "there are no records evidencing that the Minister was
advised of the legal basis on which the Minister could undertake an approval role, and it is not
evident to the ANAO what the legal authority was.9 The design would also have been improved
had:" page 19/76 under programdesign
@murpharoo She may have been able to attain obtained that authority under Section 11 where she has the ability to give directions. But she didn't do that. So that is why it is allegedly illegal. But she didn't and wasn't advised of her legal Authority. So spinning the whole thing.....
