As the Perth CBD suffers for lack of money, money is poured into worthless schemes in the bush as part of the deal that that Grylls made with the Liberals to allow them to form a government. Mr Barnett, the highest paid premier in Australia and the one with the least talent couldnt earn his wages if he worked 50 hours a day. Now we have Stop and Search, cuts in police vehicles. law and order a mess. Hospitals and ambulances a joke and an idiot who says we are happy to give up freedom for security like the germans did under Hitler. Who voted that nut into parliament, he even had the cheek to tell a story about his mother and a kind blackshirt. God help us. Thanks Mr Grylls I hope you rot.

This used to be a good show to watch, but it seems its so rehearsed to ensure the morons that appear as contestants do at least seem to have some knowledge as to why they are there. Where do they find them and who chooses the auction houses,the combination of the two makes for a very repetitive hour night ater night. Its obvious the contestants havent a clue what to look for and the entertainers are the experts. I often see the look of frustration on their faces when a good item goes under the hammer for a pitance due to the auction being held in some backwater in britain. The show did have some guts once but now its just mediocre. But saying that its a pleasure to see some of the better auctioneers at work who start the bidding showing the item has some value and encouraging a bidder. A good programme idea, good experts, but let down by clueless contestants who must have been found asleep on park bench prior to the show. What a pity. Nevermind Tim youre ok but I dont understand when you find a bargain you dont alert a contestant. Guess that would be biased. But Il still keep watching and getting angry.
Anita and Kate are great and I do learn a lot from the decriptions of itens and marks from all the exxterts……..Thanks

In a nutshell, why on earth does this bank spend heaps of money on television advertising that can only be said at best is a bloody embarrassment and an insult to anyones intelligence. It just goes to show that putting up interest rates at the drop of a hat only gives them money to waste on the crap they call advertising.

Its very interesting as an early riser that our daylight here in Western Australia begins around 4.15 am give or take a few minutes or so. What I find extremely interesting at that time is, when I go outside to pick up the newspaper I dont see a soul, where are all these anti daylight saving people. Here we are at the first signs of daylight with birds a singing and no pollutive vehicles spewing exhaust in the air and the cow milkers and curtain fading excentrics are nowhere to be seen. This is the true daylight as it is meant to be and seemingly only I am out there to enjoy it. Even cows in a nearby paddock are up are awake chewing the cud at that early hour but not a milker to be seen. Anyway you nocturns got your way and deprived working families of a hour extra daylight in the evening so I guess you are happy.

Well folks after 10 weeks of oil spewing from the sea bed and latterly a nice fire to destroy the rig and some evidence i expect it seems i can close my cause and stop whingeing. From now on the bullshit takes over and whos fault was it/is it will make the headlines. It has been stated it will take seven years for the damage to the environment to recover in that time how many more holes will PTTEP drill, we can just hope they have learnt something out of all this. Ive had some emails since I started this all egging me on and thanking me for my concern. Thanks to all.

After 10 weeks of posting my concerns about this disaster in the Timor Sea and critisising the lack of media and political coverage they have all woken up. The pollie in oposition a Mr Hunt has been asleep for ten weeks or has been waiting to try and make a name for himself, he should be thrown out along with Martin Ferguson, Bob Brown and Mr Midnight Oil. The Greens in my opinion are the worst of all, they are suppose to care about the planet but their silence has been deafening. Now the bloody rig is on fire and what was a tragic disaster for Australia and its neighbours is now a monumental catastrophy, as for issueing PTTEP more drilling licences is beyond all comprehension and all the political drum beating and hypocracy isnt going to put this fire out and plug the hole. If there are experts somewhere in the world that know what to do to stop the flow of oil then where are they. I know what Id like to plug the hole with and they are all in Camberra.

Amazing, after 9 weeks politicians and protesters have come alive. The protesters from rent-a-crowd made themselves up with black paint or sump oil for the benefit of the television but in my book they are all a tad late with their concern. Its a marine disaster thats got steadily worse from day one, and still no positive assurance that the leak can be fixed. So what does the Federal Government do, obvious isnt it, give PTTEP more licences to drill some more holes around Australia. That makes a lot of sense doesnt it. Now theres gas leaking from the Puffin field that isnt a problem, says Martin Ferguson. Media cover for the disaster has been pitiful,but what can you expect from a state that has only one newspaper. No lessons have been learnt from this disaster and my opinion is to leave the ocean bed alone for its inhabitants to exist in peace.

RWWA is in my opinion a dictatorship and aparently above the law. Its governence is disturbing to say the least. I quote from the governence.
To manage these changes, four separate Acts have been passed by parliament:

•Racing and Wagering Western Australia Act 2003
•Racing and Gambling Legislation Amendment and Repeal Act 2003
•Racing Restriction Act 2003
•Racing and Wagering Western Australia Tax Act 2003
In terms of its structure, RWWA is not:a Crown agency;

•subject to ministerial direction or the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman ; nor
•a public sector body under the Public Sector Management Act 1994

As you can read 4 acts of parliament have been passed yet a minister of the crown can give no direction. The OMBUDSMAN cannot inquire into the method of delivering penalties to ensure that the protocol of a persons rights has been adhered to. Duncan Miller has been disqualified for 12 months for carrying the whip but has his Human Rights been compromised. Who can say,the kangaroo court is obove scrutiny and seemingly answerable to nobody.
Duncan Miller a 17 year old found himself on the front and back pages of the West Australian newspaper much to the happiness of moron from the RSPCA who is delighted that this young man has lost his right to work. Richard Barry is a disgrace and so is the reporter that starts the article by telling us all that the RSPCA has welcomed a potentially career ending penalty. The RSPCA is a toothless tiger and this situation in the horse racing industry is just what it needed to grandstand and create a smokescreen for its pathetic past record. RWWA fueled the RSPCA fire and has let down to all racing industry members that can now see that RWWA is the enemy of the racing industry and will do very little to show any compassion in their zealous persuit to punish.
On page 12 of the West Australian newspaper they run a story about naming juveniles yet here is Duncan giving the full treatment and only days ago and aspiring year 12 footballer was named in this so called newspaper because he drank alcohol. Hypocracy to say the least.
So Mr Barry is going to step up his campaign to stop whipping horses and stop putting money ahead of animal welfare, very noble of you sir and while youre at it why dont you take your kids to the circus and see what they use to make an elephant stand on its front legs. But thats normal eh. I repeat you are a disgrace and a hypocrite. As for RWWA, its Kangaroo Court will continue in its Im above the law undemocratic way.

Article 10 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Article 10
Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair, and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

Thats my opinion, before freedom of speech is taken from us.

After listening to an interview with Julie Bishop on ABC News Radio its obvious to me that this person has no understanding of questions she is being asked. Why embarrass someone who is obviously lacking in the skills of understanding questions she is being asked and just give her a document of the questions and answers and allow her to tick the boxes, please save us from the stupidity of this opposition Armani clothes rack.

A powerful story in todays West Australian newspaper (20/10/09) regardiing children in Kununarra is both disturbing and alarming. Without dwelling on the story which is there for all to read Im concerned as to whether it should have been made public in this manner. Its a very powerful story about an extremely sad situation and also a disgrace that our government and its agencies are permitting it to occur. My concern is the very picture it conjures up for any would be child abuser that this situation is on our very doorstep. The fact that the only manages to warrant a place on the inside of the newspaper when in my opinion it should have either been front page or not published at all but used as information directed to the appropriate government departments. This is not a very smart piece of reporting to all and sundry but an article thats well written by Jessica Strutt its the possible chilling consequences that concerns me.
