I am coming out and proudly declaring the following:

1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European descent - which these days I am supposed to be ashamed of.

2. I am heterosexual - but don't mention it in public because that is being sexist and demeaning to gays.
3. I am a staunch self-rule republican,I bow and " Touch/tug my forelock for no one !! "
4. Although not religious I tend to believe in the so-called Christian values/beliefs,another " NO,NO "
    these days because it's discriminatory against minor religions and alternative beliefs according
    to the PC elite/police.

Subject: " The Anzac on the Wall - by Jim Brown - The 2nd blog posting 11/11/2018.

I have taken this information from very wide and various sources it would take the average person
days to read and consider it all.

As I type this on the 11th Day of the 11th Month 2018 there are activities going on around Aussie,and
various parts of the world,referred to as " rememberance Day " which has a special significance in 2018
as Sunday the 11th of November 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the "Armistice
Treaty " which ended the first World War.

It can be seen from the attachment below I first posted this " The Anzac on the wall - by Jim Brown "
to my blog on the 16/4/2014 just before ANZAC Day that year where I thought it was appropriate,

However that said I believe considering the current circumstances of the centenary of the signing of
the " Armistice " that ended the war that this ANZAC was supposedly killed in then the poem is even
far more appropriate now.

According to the First World War page on the Australian War Memorial website the then Aussie
population was less than five million yet there were 416,809 men enlisted,women were not encouraged
to enlist in those days which ofcourse considering the Aussie casualties amongst the men if the same
or more had effected the women it would have seriously effected the birth rate in Aussie and future
generations.

Out of the 416.809 Aussie men enlisted in the 1914 - 1918 World War 1 there were some 62,000
were killed,156,000 wounded, gassed,or taken prisoner.

Now according to " Reperes - Author & C: Nadege Mougel CVCE, 2011,2011 the situation in regard
to deaths amongst the " Entente Powers " they being all the allied nations that took part against
Germany are as following:

Total populations 806 million,military deaths 5,711,696 million, civilian deaths 3,674,757 million,
total deaths 9,386,453 million, deaths as a % of total populations 1.19%,military wounded
12,809,280 million.

Military casualties include combat,accidents,disease and deaths while prisoners of war, and where
most civilian casualties are due to war related famine and disease and do not in most cases include
the Spanish Flu that was killing millions of people at the time just to add to their problems.

Now surely any reasonably thinking person would have the right to ask the question ? were all the
people,including our own brave Aussies,that took part and made the ultimate sacrifice who died,
suffered both physically,mentally and financially for the rest of their natural lives some what naive in
being led to believe that all this sacrifice would be the  " War to end all Wars " where history now
shows they were because only some ( 21 ) years later the world was thrown into yet another World
War 2 in the 1939 - 1945 where the World War 1 casualties paled into insignificance in comparison.

Without going into the break down of military and civilian casualties which I believe is pretty pointless
because it is not how,what,where,why the poor bastards died because the fact they did and not from
natural causes,where some ( 60 ) million,yep million,people were killed and at that time in say 1940
it represented some ( 3%) of the estimated world population of only ( 2.3 ) billion.

As I have stated many times in my blog I too, although in a different type of theatre of war which
consisted of more close contact in thick bush/jungle where there was no front line and you never knew
when you would be ambushed,booby traps and being in Africa we had the natural predators to put up
with leeches,snakes,spiders to say nothing of the odd pride of lions,elephants,rhino once we came out
of the bush onto the plains or at least the more open areas,so I am well aware of the tremendous
stress these young Anzac's would be under and I have no doubt they were able to cop with the
thought that what they were doing would make world affairs a more safer and secure place ??

Attrition warfare - Wikipedia.

Quote: Attrition warfare is a military strategy consisting of belligerent attempts to win a war by wearing
down the enemy to the point of collapse through continuous losses in personnel and material.The war
will usually be won by the side with greater such resources. unquote.

Texas Guinan.19th Century American businessesman.
Quote: " A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country " unquote

How true is this people because as far as I am concerned ' ALL ' wars,military conflicts and disputes
of any kind causing death,destruction,lose of human and financial capital and the list goes on and on
currently and down the ages have been the work of politicians across all political spectrums the world
over !!! and what makes it worse when their limited political term ends they just walk away leaving
the mess for future generations to ?? if possible clear up.
 
Take Aussie for instance we have been spending billions of hard earned scarce Aussie dollars in
various conflicts,wars by another name, in the middle east where the multitude of religious tribes,
ethnic groups have been at war with each other for centuries and there is absolutely no chance they
will cease any century soon !! yet the Aussie pollies down the decades/currently insist we send our
valuable human and financial resources to get involved in these never-ending-conflicts and no doubt
will like they are today over Aussie in regard to the remembrance Day activities stand at the airport
with their hands over their hearts as the body bags/coffins are taken off the military planes stating
that this/these brave souls are hero's that paid the highest sacrifice in defensive of freedom and our
way of life.

What a load of bullshit ? if that is the case why in addition to spending billions and putting our military
personnel into danger in these overseas conflicts does Aussie spend further billions of scarce Aussie
Tax Payers funds on our border control to protect us from the very thing we are fighting against there?.
 
Now 78 years plus old,and being Ex military,I have long come to the conclusion that the like's of
ANZAC/Remembrance Days have become just tokenism allowing the pollies,bureaucrats,military
hierarchy that caused this vile death and destruction,lose of precious human life and the countries
wealth to clear their guilty conscience, ? what an oxymoron ? pollies and guilty consciences, and
justify their actions in the eyes of the population.

Ok people regardless of all the pomp and ceremony and the erection of these huge monuments to our
so-called " Fallen " ? was it all worth it ? has it made the world a lot more safer place to live in,and
ofcourse in my view absolutely not!!!!

I have as I am sure many of you have read this before.
 
However I believe it is such a good descriptive poem and with ANZAC day only days away
it is worth a second

The Anzac on the wall.

       
The Anzac on the Wall
By Jim Brown

I wandered thru a country town, 'cos I had some time to spare,
And went into an Antique Shop to see what was in there.
Old Bikes and Pumps and Kero lamps, but hidden by it all,
A photo of a soldier boy … An Anzac on the Wall.

'The Anzac have a name?' I asked. The old man answered 'No’,
The ones who could have told you mate, have passed on long ago.
The old man kept on talking and, according to his tale,
The photo was unwanted junk, bought from a clearance sale.

'I asked around,' the old man said, 'But no one knows his face,
He's been on that wall twenty years .... deserves a better place.
For someone must have loved him, so it seems a shame somehow.'
I nodded in agreement and then said … 'I'll take him now.'
My nameless digger's photo, well it was a sorry sight
A cracked glass pane and a broken frame … I had to make it right
To prise the photo from its frame I took care just in case,
Cause only sticky paper held the cardboard back in place.
I peeled away the faded screed, and much to my surprise,
two letters and a telegram, appeared before my eyes
The first reveals my Anzac's name, and regiment of course
John Mathew Francis Stuart … of Australia ’s own Light Horse.
This letter written from the front ... my interest now was keen;
this note was dated August 7th, 1917

'Dear Mum, I'm at Khalasa Springs, not far from the Red Sea
They say it's in the Bible … looks like a Billabong to me.
'My Kathy wrote, I'm in her prayers … she's still my bride to be,
I just can’t wait to see you both, you're all the world to me.
And Mum you'll soon meet Bluey, last month they shipped him out
I told him to call on you, when he's up and about.'
'That bluey is a larrikin, and we all thought it funny,
He lobbed a Turkish hand grenade into the Co’s dunny.
I told you how he dragged me wounded; in from no man's land
He stopped the bleeding, closed the wound, with only his bare
hand.'
'Then he copped it at the front, from some stray shrapnel blast,
It was my turn to drag him in, and I thought he wouldn't last.
He woke up in hospital, and nearly lost his mind
Cause out there on the battlefield, he'd left one leg behind.'
'He's been in a bad way Mum, he knows he'll ride no more
Like me he loves a horse's back, he was a champ before.
So Please Mum can you take him in, he's been like my own brother
Raised in a Queensland orphanage he’s never known a mother.'
But Struth, I miss Australia Mum, and in my mind each day
I am a mountain cattleman, on the high plains far away.
I'm mustering white-faced cattle, with no camel's hump in sight,
and I waltz my Matilda, by a campfire every night
I wonder who rides Billy …!! I heard the pub burnt down!!
I'll always love you … and please say Hooroo, to all in town'.
The second letter I could see, was in a lady's hand,
An answer to her soldier son, there in a foreign land.
Her copperplate was perfect, the pages neat and clean
it bore the date, November 3rd 1917.
'T'was hard enough to lose your Dad, without you at the war
I'd hoped you would be home by now … each day I miss you more'

'Your Kathy calls around a lot, since you have been away,
To share with me her hopes and dreams, about your wedding day.
And Bluey has arrived … and what a godsend he has been
We talked and laughed for days, about the things you've done and seen'

'He really is a comfort, and works hard around the farm,
I read the same hope in his eyes, that you won't come to harm.
Mc Connell's kids rode Billy, but suddenly that has changed.
We had a violent lightning storm, and it was really strange.'
'Last Wednesday, just on midnight, not a single cloud in sight,
It raged for several minutes, it gave us all a fright.
It really spooked your Billy … and he screamed and bucked and reared,
And then he rushed the sliprail fence, which by a foot he
cleared'

'They brought him back next afternoon, but something's changed I fear,
It's like the day you brought him home, for no one can get near.
Remember when you caught him, with his black and flowing mane?
Now Horse Breakers fear the beast, that only you can tame,'
'That's why we need you home son …… Then the flow of ink went dry ……
This letter was unfinished … and I couldn't work out why.
Until I started reading, the letter, number three A yellow telegram delivered news of a tragedy.
Her son killed in action … Oh! What pain that must have been,
the same date as her letter … 3rd November 1917
This letter which was never sent, became then one of three.
She sealed behind the photo's face … the face she longed to see.
And John's home town's children, when he went to war,
Would say no greater cattleman, had left the town before.
They knew his widowed mother well, and with respect did tell,
How when she lost her only boy … she lost her mind as well.
She could not face the awful truth, to strangers she would speak
“My Johnny's at the war you know … he's coming home next week.”
They all remembered Bluey, he stayed on to the end.
A young man with wooden leg, became her closest friend.
And he would go and find her when she wandered, old and weak,
and always softly say … 'Yes dear … John will be coming home next week.'

Then when she died, Bluey moved on … to Queensland some did say.
I tried to find out where he went, but don't know to this day.
And Kathy never wed, a lonely spinster… some found odd.
She wouldn't set foot in a church … she'd turned her back on God.
John's mother left no Will, I learned, on my detective trail.
This explains my photo's journey, of that clearance sale.
So I continued digging, cause, I wanted to know more.
I found John's name with thousands, in the records of the war.

His last ride proved his courage… a ride you will acclaim
The Light Horse Charge at Beersheba of everlasting fame.
That last day in October back in 1917,
at 4pm our brave boys fell … that sad fact I did glean.
That's when John's life was sacrificed, the record's crystal
clear.
But 4pm in Beersheba is midnight over here ....
So as John's gallant sprit rose, to cross the great divide,
Were lightning bolts back home, a signal from the other side?
Is that why Billy bolted, and went racing as in pain …?
Because he'd never feel his master, on his back again …!
Was it coincidental …? Same time ... Same day … Same date …!
Some proof of numerology … or just a quirk of fate …?

I think it's more than that you know, as I've heard wiser men,
Acknowledge there are many things, that go beyond our ken

Where craggy peaks guard secrets, neath dark skies torn asunder,
Where hoof beats are companions, to the rolling waves of thunder

Where lightning cracks like 303's, and ricochets again,
Where howling moaning gusts of wind, sound just like dying men
Some Mountain cattlemen have sworn, on lonely alpine track,
They've glimpsed a huge black stallion …with  Light Horseman on his back.

Yes Sceptics say, it's swirling clouds, just forming apparitions.
Oh No, My friend you can't dismiss all this as, superstition.

The desert of Beersheba … or a windswept Aussie range,
John Stuart rides on forever there … I don't find that at all strange.
Now some gaze upon this photo, and they often question me,
and I tell them a small white lie, and say he's family.

'You must be proud of him.' they say … I tell them, one and all,
That's why he takes … the pride of place …
The Anzac on the Wall.

" Why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM "

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
 
 
 


Aussie major climate zones over this 2nd ( to the Antarctic ) most dry country/continent in the world and although 5.4% of the total world landmass has a centre of some 25% unpopulated desert.

G/day readers I have had to retype this because thanks to the blog computer system it change the font to so small I have had many complaints
it was to small to read on such things as iPhones and iPads etc.

I am coming out and proudly declaring the following:

1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European descent.
2. I am heterosexual.
3. I am a staunch self-rule republican.
4. Although not religious I tend to believe in the so-called Christian values and beliefs.

Subject: “ Why Turnbull was dumped as Aussie PM. “ 20/10/2018.

The information mainly gathered from the ABS and supported by many other media sources.

Since initially typing this ofcourse,to the great relief I am sure of millions of conservative voters,we have a new PM by the name of Scott Morrison and Treasurer by the name of Josh Frydenberg and ofcourse the lefty Aussie media like the commentators in the ABC/SBS/ABC Insiders have constantly asked the question ‘ ? why was Malcolm Turnbull dump as PM ‘,because they ofcourse are great supporters of our little
Union stooge,alleged rapist and Federal Labour Opposition Leader Teflon Billy Shorten and were quietly confident that Teflon Billy and his Labor mob would win the next 2019 Federal Election,with that “ Fop “ Turnbull as PM, however ? Scott Morrison is a far greater challenge!!!


Teflon Billy Shorten Union Stooge,alleged rapist and the Federal Labor Opposition Leader.

However let’s see why I reckon Turnbull got deservingly dump and done like a “ DOGS “ dinner.


The new Aussie PM Scott Morrison.



The new Aussie Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.



The PM’s retirement plan, what a great cartoon ? unfortunately I don’t know who created it, you will notice they are all still alive and kicking and reaping,collectively,millions plus perks thanks to the hard working,hard done by Aussie Tax Payer !!!.


G/day people wherever you are and I hope you are well considering the circumstances you find yourself 
in.

Well people ? if you haven’t heard Aussie went through another (8) week boring Federal type election prior too and including Saturday the 28/7/2018 where this time it was what is referred to as a “Bi-election“ in fact Aussie is running another so-called “Bi-election“ as I type this on the 20/102018 for Turnbull’s seat of Wentworth it will be interesting to see how it turns out ?,where the (5) incumbent pollies either left Federal Parliament like one
did because he found it all to hard and wanted to spend more time with his family which ofcourse was very honourable of him,however it was a concern that he did not think of that when he swore to represent his Western Aussie constituents back at the 2016 Federal Election when he begged them to vote for him and the Labor Party at a cost to the Aussie Tax Payer generally,excluding 
his very considerable pollie salary,perks,free travel and tax free overnight allowance while in Canberra at least,100’s of 1000’s of hard earned scarce Tax Payers dollars.

However as the Turnbull/LNP did not bother to challenge for the seat and only the Greenies were Labors main opposition the Labor Party retained the seat with 63% of the 2nd preference votes,Greenies 37%, but that said Labors first preference votes were only 22,876 an increase of only 2.0% over their 2016 Federal Election results,whereas the Liberal Democrats and various independents polling combined first preference of 24,326 which is an increase of 38.7% which should be ? a concern for Labor at the anticipating 2019 Federal Election if ? the Turnbull ( now Morrison )/LNP decides to run as well and and where the 2nd preferences might go.

The other (4) seats (3) Labor and (1) Independent had to be vacated because all (4) turned out to be ” Dual Citizens “ which is not allowed under our constitution and all I gather knew this prior to the 2016 election,or least did not do due diligence to discover whether they were or not,yet did not resign immediately they knew and continued receiving their salary,perks,travel,over night expenses until they were forced to costing the Aussie Tax Payers 100’s of 1000’s of hard earned dollars,which in my view,and there is no doubt in my mind the majority of Aussies by far,is tantamount to obtaining funds under false pretences and should be illegal.


However it would appear all was forgiven by the various voters “ No worries “ and they like a flock of sheep,with their 1st & 2nd preferences,voted the bastards back in again for a second try at the parliamentary pollie “ Trough “ just in case they had not had their “ Fill “ the first time around,the poor bastards, ? is it any wonder we Aussies have the parliamentary debacle we have when we employ pollies with such a very poor standard of honesty and ethics.



The pollies parliamentary trough.

Well we had the Turnbull/LNP mob banging on ad nauseam about “ Jobs and Growth “ and the Teflon Billy Shorten/Labor mob although not telling lies as such certainly stretching the facts,like any good Union organisation can and does,about the spending of the top end of town/big business Turnbull/LNP proposed tax cuts and the spending of this bonanza in the way of extra spending on health,education,welfare ? in other words you name it Labor, whatever is popular with the pleb voters,Labor will fund it ofcourse conveniently ignoring the fact it may not get through the Aussie Senate,however that is just a minor detail when it comes to elections.


Our now Ex Aussie PM Malcolm Turnbull with just a few of his “ Top End of Town “ mates




I believe this sums up our now Ex PM Turnbull and confirms my blog dated the 11/4/2018 subject:“ Turnbull No Political Nous “ where Turnbull/LNP nearly experienced political death by running a (8) week election campaign during the 2016 Federal Election and loses a (15) seat majority in the House of Reps down to the skin of their teeth (1) seat majority

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.


However not satisfied with that the Turnbull/LNP appear to have a political masochistic need to try yet another (8) week campaign coming up to the latest group of “ Bi Elections “ conducted on Saturday the 28/7/2018 which by any stretch of the imagination was a total disaster for the Turnbull/LNP mob where they lost all (3) “ Bi-Elections “ they contested.

In fact to add insult to injury in the seat of Longman,Queensland,despite the huge amount of the then PM Turnbull’s Tax Payer funded time there,to say nothing of the huge Tax Payers expense of flying in government Ministers plus I am sure their bureaucratic entourage,the Ex PM Turnbull/LNP mob not only did not gain the seat but their “ First Preferences “ votes, which are the votes that really count where it shows what the voters real intentions were and not their “ Second Preferences “ where they are compelled to tick all the candidates names in order to validate their vote,and where the Ex PM Turnbull & LNP “ First Preference “ votes went backwards compared to their 2016 votes by at least (-9.4%) ? I reckon just based on that there would be a very good political message for the then Turnbull/LNP in regard to the next Federal Election in 2019. 


?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.

I firmly believe that because of Turnbull’s egotistical mind set he indulges in an unrestrained “ Wallowing “ in the constant 24/7 across the broad spectrum of the media,both Aussie and internationally,during elections,with little,if any,regard for the fact that the majority of voters,with the huge amount of information available to them 24/7, barring any major political disruption,have already made up their minds who they are going to vote for very early in the election campaign and become not only bored but highly irritated the longer the prolonged campaign persists.

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.
 
However the length and content of an election campaign requires that the political participants have some  on the ground political nous “
which from the recent “ Rarified Air/Born to rule Turnbull/LNP “ campaign was obviously seriously lacking there of,and where the then Turnbull/LNP were relying far to much on the hoped voter backlash in regard to the very unpopularity of the Federal Labor Opposition Leader Teflon Billy Shorten.

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.

In fact how is this for being totally out of touch and lacking “ Political Nous “ where the Turnbull
/LNP were trying to push ahead with a tax reduction from (30%) to (25%) for businesses turning over A$ 100 million in 2019-20 which ofcourse includes many of the major banks and financial institutions which are,to put it mildly,being seriously condemned as a result of the current Banking Royal Commission,which I might add the Turnbull/LNP mob fought tooth and nail to try and stop happening,and where poll after poll showed that the majority of Aussies were dead against it,and ofcourse Teflon Billy Shortens Labor mob were having a field day objecting/opposing it therefore surely what a naive gift by the Turnbull/LNP to Teflon Billy’s Labor mob.

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.

In the National Press Club address Turnbull stated quote “A company tax is overwhelmingly a tax on wages and their salaries “unquote so it would appear Turnbull is stating it would increase salaries well my question to Turnbull/LNP was “ WHOSE “ salaries,because with the amount of robotics,digitisation and automation going on across the board, apart from closing down and going offshore,in the major industries/organisations there will be even less front line humans serving the customers.

Let’s take a look:

Paul Colgan money & Markets reports on the 1/5/2018 that quote “ The ANZ bank has let go of more than 4000 staff in the past year “ unquote.

I have found that the ANZ over the years to be the most arrogant in regard to customer service,or the lack of it.

Take for instance the ANZ in Tamworth which recently totally closed their branch for all cash,and banking, transactions for business and personal having to be done via the Aussie Post office,which I do as a matter of principle now and the service is good if not better than I experienced at the Tamworth ANZ branch anyway,any face to face contact needed with the ANZ banking staff then the ANZ customer was required to travel to Gunnedah which is at least a two hour round trip or Maitland maybe a four hour round trip,and if anyone required a home loan then there was a mobile phone number on the locked front door of the closed Tamworth ANZ bank to be contacted.

The Tamworth ANZ branch condescendly opened their doors after a couple of months in September and when I visited the Tamworth branch just after it re-opened just to take a look it was as we expected the ANZ are trying to convert the Tamworth branch to an internet branch where they have done away with tellers dealing with customers looking at them over a secure counter instead they have them standing along side shoulder to shoulder,so to speak,where ANZ are trying to arrogantly train,regardless of the customers age and/or general ability,the standing in line customers to be served by demonstrating the use of the computer screen and key board in front of both of them with a small cash draw under the key board and any cash takings are put down a chute alongside.

I stood there for a while just watching the customers,especially the elderly,come away looking stressed and very much bewildered and at least (3) blokes passed me on the way out stating that their going too,or had closed their ANZ accounts,there were at least (8) partitioned sections fitted with computers and key boards for the customers to use I am sure all the other numerous banks in Tamworth are only to pleased to see the way the ANZ Tamworth branch is arrogantly treated their once so-called valued clients as they open accounts with them.

Again I mentioned Paul Colgan Money & Markets on the 13/6/2018.

Quote: Reducing staff costs will be a central feature of Australian banks profit maintenance strategies over the coming years according to insider analysts at Macquarie Private Wealth.They estimate digitisation and automation could help each of the four major banks cut up to 10,000 staff over the next five to 10 years.

That’s nearly one in four jobs at the major banks.It’s another sign that the future for the major banks will be dramatically different to how it looks today. unquote and I put forward the current ANZ Tamworth branch as a prime example.

So either Turnbull was totally naive in regard to real life experiences or ? this tax deduction for the major banks was just an act of bastardry on Turnbull’s part to help out Turnbull’s top end of the town mates ensuring very lucrative positions after politics,NO DOUBT IN MY MIND IT WAS VERY MUCH THE LATTER !!!

??? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.

20/6/2018 The Telstra chief executive Andy Penn announced it would cut 8000 jobs from it’s payroll.

Coles,Kmart,Woolies to name but a few casualising their staff numbers,automation trying to force their customers via the “ Self checkout “ areas to reduce the need for employing people to operate the staff assisted usual checkout systems.

We no longer have an Aussie car industry where cars are now imported from around the world and more than compete price wise with vehicles once made here and this was after massive injections of millions,if not billions,of Aussie Tax Payers scare funds being invested in order to keep them operating but now putting 1000’s of Aussies out of work and many of the older workers after their payout funds have expired are permanently on Tax Payer welfare.

The Aussie water front with containerisation being automated using robotics now displacing workers by the 1000’s over the years.

Warehousing/Distribution has been steadily computerised,automated and with the use of robotics displaced 1000’s of workers over the decades.

Transport with much larger vehicles,containerisation,the use of rail and a big reduction in the need for drivers across the board.

The NSW government about to introduce “ Guardless trains “ in Sydney with the result of a loss of some 487 jobs.

The across the board media TV,newspapers,magazines,radio the list goes on and on with the lose of reporters, editors,operating and admin staff by the 100’s if not 1000’s.

The mining industry now operating these 110 tonne mine vehicles robotically where that and other things again resulting in massive staff layoff’s.

Farming with larger farms and GPS operated huge machinery requiring far less workers.

The electronic industry TV’s,fridges,washing machines etc.; previously manufactured in Aussie gone!!

Over some 35 years I was employed in various international companies starting off as an office boy,management trainee,supervisory/management, then before I left to set up my own enterprises executive management,where even then I still dealt with them as an independent self employed proprietor,so I am totally familiar in principle with the way the operate.

Therefore in my view,which I believe the current Aussie Banking Royal Commission and their results so far ? with probably far worse to come, justifies what I am about to state:

DON’T EVER TRUST THE BASTARDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE “ NO SOUL “ AND ARE LED BY A BUNCH OF MAINLY FACELESS PEOPLE i.e.: DIRECTORS, WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS PROFIT FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SHARE HOLDERS,ANYONE ELSE IS JUST COLLATERAL DAMAGE FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMPANY i.e.; THEM AND THEIR SHARE HOLDERS AND HAVE LITTLE REGARD TO THE ENVIRONMENT, OR HOW THE NATIONS THEY ARE SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES CURRENTLY AND IN THE FUTURE BY PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES, CHARGES AND FEES.

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as the Aussie PM.




Scott Morrison the then Treasurer now the Aussie Prime Minister.

(As at the 18/10/2010 the Federal Government has announced new and even better employment figures however I believe the new ones are no more than “ Smoke and Mirrors “just like the ones mentioned below so I will stick with these.)

With a great fanfare our then Federal Treasurer (now PM) Scott Morrison maintained what a great achievement the then unemployment figure of ( 5.3% ) was.
 
Now people if we accept these “ Mickey Mouse “ figures defined as follows:
 
Quote from the ABS “ The international labour organisation describes employed people as those of working age who during a short reference period ( e.g. week ) engaged in any activity to produce goods or provide services for pay or profit.This includes employed persons “ at work “ ( i.e. at least one hour ) and those who were “ not a work “,either temporarily,or due to work-time arrangements (e.g shift roster ). Unquote. ? yeah try and figure that lot out.

So surely based on this definition a person working ( e.g. at least one hour per week ) is considered being gainfully employed so therefore ( 5.3% ) ain’t so bad is it because surely it means that at least ( 94.7% ) of the Aussie work force of 12,575,200 are also gainfully employed

Oh yeah but sorry to inform you that these “ Smoke and Mirrors – Mickey Mouse “ figures,and I am sure the current figures declared on the 18/10/18 will have the same components, include the following which ofcourse pollies across the political spectrum when in power do not want to highlight:

In July 2018.

Unemployment fell by 5700 to 706,000
People looking for partime work decreased by 8,000 to 201,900.
People looking for full time increased by 2,300 to 504,100.
Employment declined overall by 3,900 to 12,575,200.
Partime employment decreased by 23,200 to 3,987,700.( 31.5% of 12,575,200 Aussie work force )
Fulltime employment went up by 19,300 to 8,587,500.

So people when you even take into consideration these “ Smoke Mirrors – Mickey Mouse ) figures the decline in Aussie manufacturing overall,the increase in the internet sales as compared to the so-called “ Bricks and Mortar “ retailers,computerisation,automation,robotics and the result of past,current and future unemployment,even if we accepted the current LNP figures of creating a million
jobs in their ( 5 ) years that is only 200,000 per year of which 25 – 35 % have been casual/temporary positions,and we have some 706,000 currently registered as unemployed to start with,how is any political party LNP,Labor,Independents across the board going to solve the serious employment,unemployment and underemployment problem we have in Aussie,because the only thing they ever collectively agree on is their collective salary and perks increasing.

If they ofcourse inform us that by world standards we Aussie have never had it better I suggest
you reply, respond as follows:

“ Mate you pollies and your top end of town mates maybe doing great with with your large salaries, perks and conditions however you should try and live in our
shoes for a while,anyway we don’t live elsewhere in the world we live here !!! so get of your well fed fat bums and start doing what we hard done by Aussie Tax Payers pay you for !!!! "

You know people no matter where I have lived in the world,including Aussie,I have found that by far the majority of pollies across the board and political spectrum turn out to be a bunch of self serving two faced useless,from the point of their constituents,bastards of the first degree,all talk,finger pointing and have very little to individually show of any real productive gain for their Tax Payers at the end of their term !!! their motto seems to be “ Keep your head below
the parapet and get from one election day to the other is by far the norm “. 

We have low/stagnant wage growth about (2%) with the Consumer Price index fluctuating at about (1.8%) which ofcourse means that wages are barely,if at all,covering cost increases,domestic debt of some A$ 1,5 Trillion and climbing being one of the largest per capita in the world,property values declining,ever increasing energy costs thanks mainly to our across the board pollies/bureaucrats taking their “ Eye off
the ball “ so to speak by allowing the international corporations in Aussie to suck out our natural resources,gas,coal etc.; creating a scarcity in Aussie pushing up prices here to their benefit overseas,

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.

Plus ofcourse the Tax Payer funded subsidies we pay for wind power,solar and other types of alternative power & energy where at great cost to the average Aussie consumers where we supposedly have to 
pay a premium to save the world in 20, 50, 100 years from now ?? although Aussie is blessed with some of the greatest resources of energy in the world e.g. coal,gas,uranium plus a country with some of the smartest,intelligent,well educated, resourceful people in the world,excluding most of our pollies across the board ofcourse, political “Animal Cunning “ in my view is not classed as intelligence.

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as the Aussie PM.



The Aussie Actor Peter Finch who played the part of a Radio Shock Jock stating that everyone should 
go to their windows and stick their head out and shout quote: “ I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore “ unquote. 

Well people unless someone starts shouting and making people accountable I know,not guess,that at 78 years plus and from a life time of many and varied experiences Aussie in not so many years or decades will definitely be up the proverbial “ Shit creek without a paddle “ !!!!

?? And they ask why was Turnbull dumped as Aussie PM.

Sir Mike Howe – but you can call me Mike.

" Turnbull - done like a " DOGS " dinner " 17/8/2018.

Aussie major climate zones over this 2nd ( to the Antarctic ) most dry country/continent
in the world and although 5.4% of the total world landmass has a centre of sum 25%

( Me at my place )
My blog: www.beautkoot.blogspot.com.au

I am coming out and proudly declaring the following:

1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European descent.
2. I am heterosexual.
3. I am a staunch self-rule republican.
4. Although not religious I tend to believe in the so-called Christian values and beliefs.

Subject: " Turnbull - done like a " DOGS " dinner ". 17/8/2018

The information mainly gathered,and supported my many other sources,from the
Sydney Morning Herald IPSOS Poll dated the 24/6/2018.

G/day people wherever you are and I hope you are well considering the circumstances
you find yourself in.

Well people ? if you haven't heard Aussie went through another (8) week boring
Federal type election prior too and including Saturday the 28/7/2017 where this time
it was what is referred to as a " Bi-election " where the (5) incumbent pollies either left
Federal Parliament like one did because he found it all to hard and wanted to spend
more time with his family which ofcourse was very honourable of him,however it was
a concern that he did not think of that when he swore to represent his Western Aussie
constituents back at the 2016 Federal Election when he begged them to vote for him
and the Labor Party at a cost to the Aussie Tax Payers generally,excluding his very
considerable pollie salary,perks,free travel and tax free overnight allowance while
in Canberra at least,100's of 1000's of hard earned scarce Tax Payers dollars.

However as the Turnbull/LNP did not bother to challenge for the seat and only the
Greenies as Labors main opposition the Labor Party retained the seat with 63%
of the 2nd preference votes,Greenies 37%,but that said Labors first preference
votes were only 22,876 an increase of only 2,0% over their 2016 Federal Election
results,whereas the Liberal Democrats and various independents polling combined
first preferences of 24,326 which is an increase 38.7% which should be ? a concern
for Labor at the anticipated 2019 Federal Election if ? the Turnbull/LNP decides
to run as well and where the 2nd preferences go.

The other (4) seats (3) Labor and (1) Independent had to be vacated because all
(4) turned out to be " Dual Citizens " which is not allowed under our constitution and
all I gather knew this prior to the 2016 election,or at least did not do due diligence
to discover whether they were or not,yet did not resign immediately they knew and
continued receiving their salary,perks,travel,over night expenses until they were
forced to costing the Aussie Tax Payers 100's of 1000's of dollars,which in my view
is tantamount to obtaining funds under false pretences and should be illegal.

However it would appear all is forgiven by the various voters ? " No worries " and
they like a flock of sheep,with their 2nd preferences,voted the bastards back in again
for a second try at the parliamentary pollie " Trough " just in case they had not had
their " FILL " the first time around,poor bastards, ? is it any wonder we Aussies have
the parliamentary debacle we have when we employ pollies with such a very poor
standard of ethics!!?.
 
Well we had the Turnbull/LNP mob banging on ad nauseam about " Jobs and Growth "
and the Teflon Billy Shorten/Labor although not telling lies as such certainly stretching
the facts,like any good Union organisation can and does,about the spending of the
top of the town/big business tax cuts and the spending of this bonanza in the way of
extra spending on health,education,welfare ? you name it there it was just for the
spending ?.
 



Our Aussie PM Malcolm Turnbull with just a few of his " Top End of Town " mates.




I believe this sums up our PM Turnbull/LNP and confirms my blog dated the 11/4/2018
subject " Turnbull No Political Nous " where Turnbull/LNP nearly experienced political
death by running an (8) week election campaign during the 2016 Federal Election loses
a (15 ) seat majority down to the skin of their teeth (1) seat majority,

However not satisfied with that the Turnbull/LNP appear to have a political masochistic
need to try yet another (8) week campaign coming up to the latest group of "Bi-Elections"
conducted on the 28/7/2018 which by any stretch of the imagination was a total disaster
for the Turnbull/LNP mob where they lost all (3) " Bi-Elections " they contested,and where
in the seat of Longman in Queensland,despite the huge amount of the PM Turnbulls Tax
Payer funded time,to say nothing of the huge expense of flying in government Ministers
plus I am sure their bureaucratic entourage,the Turnbull/LNP mob not only did not gain
the seat but their " First Preference " votes,which are the votes that really count where
it shows what the voters real intentions were and not their " Second Preferences "
where they are compelled to tick all the candidates names in order to validate the vote,
and where the Turnbull/LNP " First Preference " votes went backwards compared to
the 2016 votes by at least (- 9.4%) ? I reckon there is a good political message for the
next Federal Election in 2019!!!
 
I firmly believe that because of Turnbulls egotistical mind set he indulges in an
unrestrained " Wallowing " in the constant 24/7 across the broad spectrum of the media,
both Aussie and internationally,with little,if any,regard for the fact that the majority
of the voters,with the huge amount of information available to them 24/7,barring any
major political disruption,have already made up their minds who they are going to vote
for very early in the election campaign and become not only bored but highly irritated
the longer the prolonged campaign persists.

However that ofcourse requires the political participants to have some " Political on the
ground political nous " which from the recent " Rarified Air/Born to rule Turnbull/LNP
campaigns " is obviously seriously lacking,and where Turnbull/LNP are relying far to
much on the hoped voter backlash in regard to the very unpopularity of the Federal
Labor Opposition Teflon Billy Shorten.

So how is this for being totally out of touch and lacking " Political Nous " where the
Turnbull/LNP are trying to push ahead with a tax reduction from 30% to 25% for
businesses turning over A$ 100 million in 2019-20 which ofcourse includes the
major banks and many financial institutions which are under serious condemnation
during the current Banking Royal Commission,where I might add the Turnbull/LNP
fought tooth and nail to try and stop happening,and where poll after poll is showing
that the majority of Aussies are dead against it,and ofcourse Teflon Billy Shortens
Labor mob are having a field day objecting/opposing it ? what a naive Turnbull/LNP
political gift to Teflon Billy's Labor mob.

In the national press club address Turnbull stated quote " A company tax is
overwhelmingly a tax on wages and their salaries " so it would appear Turnbull is
stating it would increase salaries ? well my question to Turnbull/LNP is " whose "
salaries,because with the amount of robotics,digitisation and automation going
on across the board,apart from closing down and going offshore, in the major
industries there will be even less front line humans serving the customers.

Let's take a look:
 
Paul Colgan Money & Markets reports on the 1/5/2018 that quote " The ANZ Bank
has let go of more than 4000 staff in the past year " unquote.

I have found that the ANZ is the most arrogant in regard to customer service,or the
lack of it,take for instances ANZ have completely closed their bank in Tamworth with
all cash/banking/transactions business/personal have to be done via the Aussie Post
Offices,? any face to face contact with ANZ Banking staff required then the ANZ Customer
is required to travel too Gunnedah which is at least a two hour round trip,
or Maitland maybe a four hour round trip,however if we are requiring home loans
there is an ANZ female name on the ANZ Tamworth Banks locked door with a mobile
phone number,I am also reliably informed that when the ANZ condensendly finally open
their doors in September 2018 it will be mainly for internet banking ? so hard luck if
you cannot operate a computer,or even have the time??

Again Paul Colgan Money & Markets reports on the 13/6/2018:
 
Quote: Reducing staff costs will be a central feature of Australian banks profit
maintenance strategies over the coming years according insider analysts at
Macquarie Private Wealth.They estimate digitisation and automation could help
each of the four major banks cut up to 10,000 staff over the next five to 10 years.
That's nearly one in four jobs at the major banks.It's another sign that the future
for major banks will be dramatically different to how it looks today.Unquote

So either the Turnbull mob are totally naive in regard to real life experiences? or
this tax deduction for the major banks is just an act of bastardry on their part to
help out their top end of the town mates ensuring very lucrative positions after
politics,NO DOUBT IN MY MIND IT IS VERY MUCH THE LATTER!!!!

20/6/2018 The Telstra chief executive Andy Penn announced it would cut 8000
jobs from it's payroll.
 
Coles,Kmart,Woolies to name but a few casualising their staff numbers,automation
trying to force their customers via the " Self checkout " areas to reduce the need
for employing people to operate the staff assisted usual checkout systems.

We no longer have an Aussie car industry where cars are now imported from
around the world and more than compete price wise with vehicles once made here,
and this was after massive injections of millions,if not billions,of scarce Aussie Tax
Payers funds being invested in  order to keep them operating,putting 1000's
of Aussies out of work and many of the older workers permanently on Tax Payer
welfare.
 
The Aussie water front with containerisation being automated using robotics now
displacing workers by the 1000's over the years.
 
Warehousing/Distribution has been steadily computerised,automated and with the
use of robotics displaced 1000's of workers over the decades.
 
Transport with much larger vehicles,containerisation,the use of rail and a big reduction
in the need for drivers across the board.

NSW government about to introduce " Guardless trains " in Sydney with the result of
a loss of some 497 jobs.
 
The across the board media TV,newspapers,magazines,radio the list goes on and on
with the lose of reporters,editors,operating and admin staff by the 100's if not 1000's.
 
The mining industry now operating these 110 tonne mine vehicles robotically where
that and other things again resulting in massive staff layoff's.

Farming with larger farms and GPS operated huge machinery requiring far less workers.
 
The electronic industry TV's,Fridges,washing machines etc; previously manufactured
in Aussie ' GONE '.
 
Over some 35 years I was employed in various international companies starting off
as an office boy,management trainee,supervisory/management then before I left to
set up my own enterprises executive management ,where even then I still dealt with
them as an independent self employed proprietor,so I am totally familiar in principle
with the way they operate,

So in my view "DON'T EVER TRUST THE BASTARDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE  NO
SOUL AND ARE LED BY A BUNCH OF MAINLY FACELESS PEOPLE IE: DIRECTORS
WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS PROFIT FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SHARE HOLDERS
ANYONE ELSE IS JUST COLLATERAL DAMAGE FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMPANY
IE; THEM AND THEIR SHARE HOLDERS.

I thank my lucky stars that as a ripe old now 78 years old pensioner I have seen the
best of life where after World War 2 and for decades after there was,as a result
of the mass slaughter,created by the pollies at the time, of 50 to 80 million people
around the world there was real full employment where we stepped out from school
straight into a choice of positions,however unless there is another mass slaughter
and/or a terrible untreatable disease I cannot see full employment ever being available
to the so-called masses ever again ? because where are the jobs coming from with
computerisation,digitisation,robotics and/or the major international organisations
moving to countries with lower energy,labour costs and far less government interference
in regard to red and green legislation especially in regard to the so-called climate change.



 
With great fanfare by our Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison he maintained what a
great achievement today's announcement of an unemployment figure is of ( 5.3% )

Now if we accept these Mickey Mouse figures that if a person works ( ONE ) hour
per week they are gainfully employed so( 5.3% ) ain't so bad because surely it means
that at least ( 94.7% ) of the 12,575,200 are gainfully employed??.

Oh yeah but sorry to inform you that these Mickey Mouse figures include the following
which ofcourse these pollies do not want to highlight:
 
In July 2018.
 
Unemployment fell by 5700 to 706,000.
People looking for partime work decreased by 8,000 to 201,900.
People looking for full time increased by 2,300 to 504,100
Employment declined overall by 3,900 to 12,575,200
Partime employment decreased by 23,200 to 3,987,700.
Fulltime employment went up by 19,300 to 8,587,500.
 
So people when you even take into consideration these Mickey Mouse figures,the
decline in manufacturing in Aussie,the increase in computerisation,automation,robotics
and the resulting unemployment in not just 10's but 100's of 1000's in the past but
likely more in the future ????? how is any political party LNP,Labor,independents
across the board going to solve the serious employment,unemployment and
underemployment problem we have in Aussie??
 
If they inform you that by world standards Aussie is looking good?? just reply that
mate you pollies are doing great with your salary increases on top of a great salary,
perks and conditions,plus we don't live elsewhere so how about earning you keep
and start performing?? you know people no matter where I have lived in the world
including Aussie the majority of pollies turn out to be a bunch of useless bastards
of the first degree all talk little action!!!!!!! just keep your head below the parapet
and get from one election day to the other is by far the norm!!

We have low/stagnant wage growth about (2%) with the Consumer Price Index of
(1.8%) which ofcourse means that wages are barely covering cost increases
,domestic debt of some A$1.5 trillion one of the largest per capita in the world,
property values declining,ever increasing energy costs thanks mainly due to the huge
subsidies we pay for wind,solar and other types of alternative power/energy where
at great ideological cost to the average Aussie consumers we supposedly have to
pay a premium to save the world in 20,50,100 years from now?? although Aussie
being blessed with some of the greatest sources of energy in the world ie; coal,gas
uranium plus a country with some of the smartest,intelligent,well educated,
resourceful people in the world,excluding most of our pollies ofcourse.
