Long before the De-Sal plant, the Bracks government, going back ten years ago, were putting propaganda ads on the Brainwash Box and in the fish-wrappers talking about 'Our Water. Our Future.' And 'Securing our Future' and what not, that didn't seem to make sense or have relevance at the time. This was all a softening up tactic, subliminal etc, to have the populace start viewing water as some kind of finite resource or a commodity etc. Water used to be virtually free, as it should be. Now it is a commodity and revenue raiser, and profit maker.<br />It's as big a scam as the Breath Tax. Remove the destructive Caeucescu fantasies and other useless thoughts, stirred up by temporal attachments, from your mind Phillip and rest assured a big reckoning is coming for all those who have bent over, as if they were in oestrus, to do the bidding of the Horned Ones.Mr.Apocalypsenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-10499155516519801212011-12-06T22:36:47.392+11:002011-12-06T22:36:47.392+11:00Prof, the pain of Victoria's desalination plan...Prof, the pain of Victoria's desalination plant just can't be undone overnight.<br />With water prices doubling for Pantheism's Green Delusions, Victorians are condemned to having their discretionary spending dollars sucked dry as a salt pan. What water doesn't cost them will go into higher electricity prices to feed the needs for the 'bottled electricty' as Premier Bob Carr once called it.<br />People don't seem to get it. The disaster is real.<br />Thru all this Tim Holding, John Brumby/ Steve Bracks et al, have gotten away with it. Unless a few ex politicians are publically disembowelled [see Jeremy Clarksonesque public lynchings] this will just go on.<br />Orwells pigs. We need to air feight the Ceaușescu graves to Australia and put them on display in the foyer of Parliament house. Perhaps Rudd could slip the Romanians a spare foreign aid billion to take possession of these icons.<br /><br />Peter Slipper, Craig Thompson, Craig Emerson - all the President's men. All people she has <br />"full confidence" in. And where are Martin Ferguson or Simon Crean.

This contract can be torn up at any time by a federal government, as indeed might be the fate of this one. Blue will then turn to grey for all the ABC staff who have spent much of this morning on 666 (Canberra) crowing about the "in perpetuity" contract.<br /><br />I suspect too that the Gillard government reason for aborting the tender process might be more complex, unless by 'spite' you mean to describe this action as a pay-back on Rudd. It appears that he was favouring the Murdochs, and he may have leaked information to entrap the government into dumping the ABC. Why would Rudd do this? Is it possible that to curry favour with the Murdochs he aimed to deliver to them the contract, and in turn expect backing for his push to reclaim the PM position? This theory would gain more plausibility if Rudd had sponsored the Cabinet decision to put the contract out to tender. Does anyone know about this? (I agree with those who say that it is curious that such a critical government function was put out to tender, so I do not think there is much that is normal about the tender.)rafikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-48077360778301761422011-12-06T15:05:37.491+11:002011-12-06T15:05:37.491+11:00The disgusting shambles of today's political s...The disgusting shambles of today's political system needs to be changed. Abolish the states therefore no need for a senate.have a national Assembly elected for 3years ,those elected serve one term then are not allowed to stand again for 15 years. No donations to political parties.6 monthly Referenda to vote on government policies and spending,elections in two rounds to coincide with Referenda,all candidates in round 1 the two with the most votes in round two.Electors have the power to dismissAssembly members for incompetence,How's that for a start ? .Borisgodunovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18251294056445027166noreply@blogger.com
