' It's our Rates/Taxes their spending '








I am coming out and proudly declaring the following:
1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European decent!
2. I am heterosexual!
3. Although not religious I tend to believe in the so-called Christian values and
beliefs!

Sir Mike's Comments 22/2/2017

Subject: ' It's our Rates/Taxes their spending '

G/day people wherever you are.

I am in a very fortunate position not only being in the greatest country/continent on
this Globe, where even though many refer to us as the " Arse end " of the world, we
are technically able to have 24/7 access to the rest of the world.

For instance, I can record two separate TV channels while viewing another simultaneously,
mainly the local, national and international news as well the like's of the ABC 7.30 Report
and the ABC's ' The Business ' plus any other subjects of interest, this I can do every day
for the next (7) days in advance as long as I leave the digital recorder on standby.

I also have access to the international media, TV, YouTube, Newspapers,blogs,web sites,
Facebook, and so-called social media in general.

With the new technology I can in many cases by clicking on ' Translation ' a window will
come down asking me what language, and ofcourse I click English, thereby allowing me to
read the foreign media, however sometimes I have to read it a couple of times because it
get's a bit confusing the way it is written or expressed.

I have 1500g digital storage in my library plus another 500g on my blog,plus backup disc
storage, which I review regularly and it enables me to store for years if necessary any
information that I believe will come in useful in the future, and at my age ? who knows
how long that will be???.

Therefore thanks partly to the generosity of the Aussie Tax Payer as a pensioner I can at
my leisure, which now I have plenty of, view the recorded information by:

Fast forwarding, as I find that nearly all the TV channels seemingly must get their footage
from the same organisation because the footage is virtually the same with a different voice
overlay plus in some cases sub-titles, I can also cut through the adverts, however I am
finding that these days now that I have the time I am watching many adverts,which I find
are very creative,amusing and some what entertaining,although at my age they rarely
if ever encourage me to want to rush out and buy,

Rewind, this allows me to replay anything that I am viewing/hearing as many times as
needed, and in slow to very slow motion foreword or back section/frame by frame.

Delete, I can delete either the whole individual program/recording or only a section enough
to leave me what I want to digitally store.

So to my 1000's of international readers Aussie maybe at the bottom of the world but
technically, and I am an amateur compared to many here, we are certainly capable of
holding our own when it comes to communicating with the rest of you!!!

Which brings me to my subject ' It's our Rates/Taxes their spending ' because the popular
opinion internationally appears to be that we are a rich country, and by many aspects I
believe as a nation we are.

However there is very strong evidence here in Aussie that were in not for the incompetent,
amateur, self interested pollies across all (3) - local, State and federal - levels of this over
governed country of ours we would be very much richer, and instead of wallowing in
unrestrained, unsustainable billions of international Visa/Credit card debt, with a national
energy system, or the lack of one, where these ideological Greenie/Labor fanatics believe
we can rely on an unreliable Mother Nature to supply this growing nations energy needs
into the future without a substantial coal/gas base load supply.

For decades large companies/organisation, especially those listed on the stock exchange,
have had from the Chairman of the board,Directors,Executive and most senior management
on 3-5 year contracts with a possible renewal at the expiry of the first term at least, in order
to keep these levels of management where the organisational policy frame work/goals are
developed and monitored, constantly reviewing profitability, refinance if necessary, and be
on the ball and don't become set in their ways and thinking to the detriment of the overall
organisation, and as they are often given shares in the company they have that extra
incentive

The administration of the organisation is left to the line management and below.

Therefore as I have stated before Aussie should have a maximum of (2) term say, of 4 years
each, for all pollies across the political board for local, state and federal in order to get some
new fresh political blood,ideas,thoughts and thereby get rid of any personal dislike's,clashes,
being carried over for years disrupting/slowing the parliamentary process sometimes to a
stand still.




Teflon Billy Shorten the Federal Labor Opposition Leader, Union Heavyweight,
homosexual advocate, now an exponent of a Tax Payer funded theory of the
Labor Party's " Magic Pudding Economics " plus an alleged " Rapist " of his
alleged victim Kathy a then (16) year old vulnerable Labor Youth Camp girl
in the early 1980's.




Senator Richard Di Natale the Aussie Head Greenie -The Aussies closest equivalent
to our lost it's way Communist Party,




Malcolm Turnbull the current LNP PM

Let's face it there might as well not have been a very expensive Tax Payer funded Federal
Election last July 2016?, because what has changed?? all (3) of the above - Teflon Billy,
Di Natale and Turnbull are just saying and doing exactly what they were prior to the election
on the 2/7/2016, and as I have stated before on here that out of the 226 pollies combined in
the House of Reps (150) Senate (76) there were only (39) seats that changed hands one way
or the other, so the ' Status Quo ' remains!!

Now I have just heard on the radio that a LNP back bencher is proposing (6) year terms for
Federal pollies instead of (3) years?? it would be funny if it was not so serious, and ofcourse
they will all vote for that one because they can have their greedy snouts in the ' Tax payer fully
funded trough ' for an extra (3) years regardless of their productivity, which is extremely poor
by anyone's standards currently, because they spend more time on self interest politicking than
looking after the Aussies interest!! ? don't believe me ? just spend time listening to parliament
in both the Reps and Senate.

After all the pollies at all (3) levels of our Aussie Federal System are only to oversee the work
and are not hands on for instance:

Local government - Have Council GM's/CEO's and 100's of staff to do the administration in
compliance with the Councils policy frame work.

Both State and Federal pollies have heads of Departments and 10's of 1000's of public
servants to administer the many and various government departments within the government
of the day's policies and frame work.

Now I realise that by law the various government levels are only the custodians of the Rate
and Tax Payers funds because governments do ' NOT ' own one cent of any funds they have
available to them, and have a legislative responsibility to show a duty of care in regard to the
funds across the board.

However when they spend of our billions, other than when they are trying to score political
points against their opposition?, do they ever mention, or in fact thank the hard working,
doing it tough Rate/Tax Payers for their compulsory contribution?? rarely if ever, they act
like we should be grateful for them spending the money/funds available the way they do as
if they were some very wealthy benevolent philanthropists.




Col Murray re-elected as Tamworth Mayor at the last years 2016 Council/Local government
elections after being a Councilor for the past (12) years. ( 3x4 year terms )

Now I only use Tamworth as a example because I have had a lot to do with the Tamworth
area over the last couple of decades with a member of my family running a multi-million
dollar business there, plus I have quite a few friends and acquaintances there and I visit
very frequently.

For those that don't know, Tamworth is one of the biggest inland NSW Councils with a
population of some 58,000 and covers an area (3) times as large as the Sydney basin.

Tamworth is the regional hub to at least (4) small towns plus another (17) hamlets and
villages with a further population of some 50,000 people, and there is a further 850 hectares
been released which it is estimated that it could support a further 10 - 15,000 people.

I see from a quick look at the Tamworth Councils financial statements for 2013/14-2014/15-
-2015/16 which like most councils have a pretty thin financial layer to protect the Rate/Tax
Payers from possibly going into an expensive deficit situation, where the anticipated
permissible income calculation, because all council rates in NSW are pegged or set by law
at various percentages, is some $33,990,000 million to 30 June 2017 so certainly gives one
the idea of the size of the Tamworth Regional council.

TRC also is responsible for the maintenance of a very busy airport, water and sewerage which
the like's of the Sydney metropolitan councils do not have to do.

Tamworth and region is certainly a very dynamic place to live and do business in and I highly
recommend that you Google Tamworth NSW and read the mountain amount of information
available.

However Mayor Col Murray is in my opinion your typical pollie, that walks up the main street
head down and avoiding eye contact in order to get into the safety of their inner sanctum as
soon as possible in case someone should have some complaint or other and tackle him in the
street.

If you do manage to catch his eye as I did you might get a grunt which sounds like ? " Hello ".

Therefore as far as I am concerned what is the point of these people being in local politics as
supposedly public servants of the electorate, if they can't look people in the face/eye smile and
be prepared to hear peoples complaints whenever, or wherever, when their in public.

Mayor Col Murray is by no means unique in this area by far, it is very common amongst a wide
range of pollies across the political spectrum, they seem to want to talk and show an interest at
close to election time,but in between they have this arrogant leave me alone attitude I'm busy,
or on my lunch break.

I have met Mayor Murray personally just prior to the federal election day in July last year 2016
at a building ? I believe it used to be the old Post Office ? under the Tamworth Clock Tower
which was open to the passing public, and there along with another Councilor plus (3) Tamworth
Council bureaucrats where the Council was conducting a series of come and meet the council
days, however I gather listening to some there and from a contact I have in the council chambers
it was not a great success, anything but.

Although as I stated at the time what did they expect it was the end of a full on massive 24/7
Federal Election media coverage which was I believe the longest, most boring, lead up time in
history to any election day that being some (8) weeks, therefore the thought of talking to more
pollies at whatever level I would have thought would be the last thing on anyone's mind.

I just went in to have a sticky beak because of all the bunting and signs outside.

Another beef I have with the like's of Mayor Murray and the majority of pollies who
are right media tarts,especially on TV,in Mayor Murrays case you would think he is a
Council of "ONE " instead of" NINE "you never seem to see any of the other Councilors,
so-called social media like Facebook, spruiking and big noting themselves about all
the millions of our Rates and Taxes they are so generously spending on various projects
as if it was their funds,and as I have previously stated like some"Benevolent Philanthropists"
we should be grateful,but never a thankyou to the hard working, doing it tough, Rate and Tax Payers
that through their hard work and initiative the funds were being made available in the first place.

Back in 2010 the Tamworth Council invested $9.5 million in a Indoor Sports Centre which
included six indoor courts, change rooms, offices, kiosk/cafe, gym area and corporate areas??
all very commendable I am sure but ? was there ever a public thankyou by Mayor Col Murray,
or any of the Tamworth Councilors for that matter ? to the hard financially pressed, doing it
tough, Rate/Tax Papers especially the low income, including pensioners, who may not be Rate
Payers but pay rent that contribute greatly to the property owners rateable income, especially
as there is no doubt that the majority by far of Tamworth Regional Rate/Tax Payers will not only
'NOT' use this facility but never even view it unless via the TV.




Kevin Anderson NSW MP for Tamworth.

Mayor Col Murray has always run for Council as a so-called Independent which in reality
should mean that Mayor Murray is not seemingly aligned with any other political party:
Liberal, National, Labor, Greens, One Nation etc;.

However in 2015 Mayor Col Murray appeared in a National Parties Commercial TV promotion
endorsing the above NSW MP Kevin Anderson during the NSW 2015 election, which Kevin
Anderson won.

So surely any reasonable person would have the right to consider just how much the
endorsement by Col Murray the Mayor at the time of the Tamworth Regional Council had in
getting Kevin Anderson re-elected, and could this be an arrogant abuse of Col Murrays
position as a very influential member of one of the largest inland councils in NSW.

The sooner, ? maybe to late however ? these egotistical pollies and bureaucrats realise that
without the 10's of millions of Rate/Tax Payers their positions would not exist, and Aussie
would go back to just being a conglomerate of 100's of nomadic tribes.

People I would suggest that you do what I do when someone is bragging about taking legal
action,or legal action that has been taken and won/compensated for, even if this claim was
covered by an insurance public liability policy because the premiums have to be paid, in
regard to any local, state or federal government departments - police, Centrelink, Medicare,
etc; just point out that no one sues, or takes legal action against any government department
and wins, or even does and doesn't win because there are legal costs involved, and as no
government at any level have any funds that they own it would mean the Rate/Tax Payers would
have to contribute an extra $2.00 dollars for every $1.00 paid out in whatever way.

This is to cover the $1.00 to fund the legal costs and ? compensation, which could have been
better spent on hospitals, welfare, education etc; and another $1.00 to replace that dollar so
the Aussie Rate/Payers can meet the ? local, state or federal commitments.

I find that when I explain that the cost of taking legal action against Aussie governments is
coming out of their pockets one way or the other, they mostly start to view the situation some
what differently.




Professor Einstein.

Anyway people it doesn't take my mate Einstein to calculate that many of these egotistical,self
interested so-called leaders of the world not only Aussie, have and are dragging us as a world
population over the cliff financially,socially,morally and in ways the world has never known
before,and certainly never to this scale even during World War 11, therefore don't whinge when
in the not so distant future, probably when I am not around or to doolaly to care, your loved ones
and offspring's ask ? what happened and where were you????.

The Australia Newspaper 15/2/2017 - ( my words " Good on you Senator Pauline Hanson it's
about time someone did " )




Sir Mike Howe - but you call me Mike. - Scroll down and read and concern yourselves where yet
more of our Western leaders are leading/dragging their nations to the destruction of their 100's
of years of cultural heritage and long term annihilation .

Hegira - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegira

The Hegira or Hijrah ( Arabic: هِجْرَة‎‎) is the migration or journey of the Islamic Prophet

Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina,

in the year 622.

Subject: " Invading Refugees " - Author unknown but never-the-less regardless it

makes a lot of common sense.


This is an interesting read. I have often wondered about the masses of fleeing
refugees that appear to be young males for the most part and who do not look
malnourished covering now most of the landscape of Europe

I think this is worth reading and passing on to our children before it's too
late.


We understand far too little about Muslims leaving their homes. What is
Hijrah? Obama is well educated in the Muslim religion since he studied it
while living in Indonesia. He does not want this email to be spread all over
the US because he wants us to be totally ignorant of what is really going on
with the ISIL movement. This makes all the turmoil now make sense. Sad, and
doesn't bode well for us.


What is a Hijrah? Hijrah is when large scale mass migrations become
invasions. What is happening in parts of Europe right now, actually appears
to be a *hijrah* as the Quran describes it. This is NOT going to end well.
Because it appears the policies of the liberal socialist leaders in Europe
and the US do not want to keep their lands from being overrun.


Why? I couldn't figure out why other Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE,
Oman, etc.) weren't taking in refugees, so I started digging.


Hijrah is jihad by emigration. It means moving to a new land in order to
bring Islam there and is considered in Islam to be a holy and revered
action. "And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth
many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to
Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already
become incumbent upon Allah." Surah 4:100.


So, if a Muslim dies in the process of immigrating to another country,
that's essentially the same as being a suicide bomber, his reward is
automatic. This explains the great eagerness to undertake such a perilous
journey. Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib/Medina
in 622 CE. It was there that he became a military leader though still
uneducated. This is where all the commands to commit violence against
unbelievers originated. It's important to note that the Islamic calendar
marks this as the beginning of Islam.


This current massive* hijrah* was announced last January, although few
Muslim countries paid the announcement much attention. A supporter (or
member) of ISIS uploaded a document in Arabic that urged Muslims to get to
Libya because of its proximity to southern Europe and for the important
tactical value of its illegal immigration circuits to facilitate
infiltration of European cities. Libya has a long coast and looks upon the
southernmost countries of western European, which can be reached with ease
by even a rudimentary boat.


In February, transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy said
ISIS was threatening to send 500,000 migrants as a "psychological weapon"
against Europe. The Italian Minister for the Interior, Angelino Alfano, said
at the time, "If the militias of the Caliphate advance faster than the
decisions of the international community how can we put out the fire in
Libya and stem the migration flows? We are at risk of an exodus without
precedent."


Also in February, the Turkish intelligence service warned police that up to
3,000 trained jihadists were seeking to cross into Turkey from Syria and
Iraq and then travel through Bulgaria and Hungary into western Europe and
then into the rest of Europe. Sound familiar?


In May, a Libyan government adviser warned that Islamic State operatives
were being" smuggled to Europe in migrant boats."ISIS is profiting from the
human trafficking trade, forcing boat owners to hand over their profits or
be killed. Some ISIS operatives are already sheltered in safe houses in the
south of the Europe.


Groups of men, 17 to 25, from Palestine and Syria, cross into Bulgaria and
from there move into the rest of the EU. A former Al Qaeda double agent told
the BBC that he knew of two Egyptian brothers who reached Italy from Libya,
accompanied by men who were deeply religious and fluent in Italian and
French.


Go watch the videos of those "refugees" again. How many of the "refugees"
are 17-25 year old men and of military age? If that doesn't convince you,
we already know terrorists are coming through with the waves of
refugees: a week ago five men were arrested attempting to cross the Bulgarian-Macedonian border with Islamic State propaganda, specific Jihadists prayers, and
decapitation videos on their phones. They had been posing as refugees.


UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage warned: "I fear we face a direct
threat to our civilization if we allow large numbers of people from that war
torn region into Europe.


Other Muslim countries are not "taking in" these "refugees" because this is
a hijrah into Europe. This is no humanitarian crisis. It is an invasion.
Its goal is to transform Europe: over tax its economies, tear down its
wealthiest nations, re-draw the demographics and, of course, the culture.
And our government wants to start letting them into our Country?
Obama, having already announced over 100,000 are going to arrive in the USA in 2017.


Are we all Forest Gumps? Is this worth sharing with others???
