Here's Some Stuff

Hello South Africa, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine and welcome to the blog...and it's typical of me that it takes a week to get to last week's The Border Watch stuff...(but it doesn't really hurt with these few things you've covered in recent posts because they're rolling issues, and sometimes waiting a week saves having to revise and correct yourself-Ed)...fair point, in any given day you can see a dozen versions of the same story depending on what media provider/owner you're watching...

(Yeah, it's a real problem when you need to intimately know the specific political bias of the website/newspaper/whatevs you're relying on...and this is what makes Liberal Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull's statements re 'it's alright to be biased in your own newspaper, that's why you own a paper', so damn annoying-Ed)...except of course for all those people who access certain media because it says what they already think and/or want to hear...(yeah, fair enough, but for those others looking to be evenly informed, it's bloody frustrating to have to review the view you're viewing-Ed)...true...

Apologies for no post yesterday (*** and post-script apologies, more computer/connection problems, today Saturday 30th August, couldn't even get computer to work this evening, finally did, hence cut and runnish post ***) but no apologies for having one of those I just don't care kinda' days when I just wasn't going to put myself through what can be a distinctly unpleasant experience...(well I'd suggest that reading you're posts is in and of itself a distinctly unpleasant experience, for certain people, in context-Ed)...oh absolutely...in context, that's exactly what the blog is about, albeit by default not design, trying to address at least some of the crippling pro-paedophile corruption that is destroying South Australia... 

I'd just like to metaphorically embrace the former St Martins parent whom was involved for years in trying to address/resolve the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up and whom I ran into sortta' recently, and thank them for telling me how clearly traumatised I am, how depressed and anxious I am, and how I need to try and let go of at least some it...(sorry? you're thanking them for telling you how unwell you are-Ed)...absolutely...

This wasn't the vindictive denigration that people like former MP Rory McEwen have serially flung about behind our backs to help the Lutherans cover-up the abuse of our 7 year old children, telling people we parents were/are crazy/liars/troublemakers, and an exciting cocktail of all 3...this parent, having walked that road, was concerned for the reality of what they knew I am still experiencing...they were concerned for me and were telling me to my face...and they agreed with my observation that it's impossible to avoid the issue of Child Abuse because day after day it's one Child Abuse Cover-up after another Royal Commission...(nicely worded sir-Ed)...

We also discussed the ongoing discourse in the community that has seen St Martins lose students and ten years after starting their 'high school' there's still only half a class of year 12/13 students because people know about the 2002 Cover-up and rightly don't trust the Lutherans, etc...and again, I take no joy in damaging the school or anyone involved because it changes/addresses virtually nothing that has happened previously...(not strictly true, because it's highly likely that you parents have actually made St Martins a much safer place for kids there now than it was when your kids attended-Ed)...fair point...

And just gathering momentum in the local media, the story of the systemic failures in a an English Council area that allowed a group of Pakistani men to recruit/rape/abuse approx 1400 girls aged 11-14 over a 15-16 year period, and one of the senior officials was recruited from that Council to be now working in a senior position in the Victorian Education system...sound familiar?...this just happened with Keith Bartley and the Sow Strayan Education Dept...more tomorrow...

A Rude Joke: I'm starting a 'Dating' website specifically for drunk, unattractive people...(oh yeah, dare I ask, what's it called?-Ed)...I'm going to call it 'Beer Googles'...(no, I did not laugh...alright, yes I did, a little bit-Ed)...that's all I need...

Speaking Of Jokes: I broad-castedly completely reject these farcical statements by people like Labor MLC Kyam Maher, Mt Gambier City Council CEO Mark McShane, Minister Tom Koutsontonis, the Mt Gambier Chamber of Commerce, etc, that everything's going great guns in the South East, and Real Estate is strong, business is super confident, etc, etc...sorry, I know I'm being a bit lazy in not providing specific examples but there's so much of this going on you're bound to have run into it yourselves...cast a dart where you might and it'll hit the bullshit I promise...

("Broad-castedly"? what the?-Ed)...I cast my dismissive judgementallings far and wide, I throw them broadly...these clowns can and do say whatever they like, not least of all because they rarely if ever actually get held to account for it...(testify-Ed)...because South Australia is completely bankrupt...(leave morality out of it, what about the Economics?-Ed)...my point exactly...and more major stores closing and great swathes of empty shops, un-sellable houses, more job losses guaranteed when the next state Budget shuts down services in Regional SA as we get written off at a Federal level. etc, etc, but it's all just fine...(fine-Ed)...fine...(just fine-Ed)...

Homework: a quick flick about the Interweb shows that I had it around the wrong way, but still half-right....
(wahhh?-Ed)...in that there is a Kingston by the sea away down our way, but the extended differential titling goes to Kingston-on-Murray which is sortta' up there and over a bit...sorted...

Dental As She Goes: because as part of this weeks reportage about the huge dent that had been made in Public Dental waiting times, down to 16 months from 45, with a combination of a mobile clinic and utilising private dentists to take public patients, etc, it was stated that the Mt Gambier Hospital Clinic now has 10 chairs if not quite enough staff to use all of them, etc, and that the Clinic serves 10,000 adults, and 4,000 kids as part of the School's Dental Program (?-proper title-sorry)...that's a total 14,000 patients...

(Hang on, 10 chairs for 14,000 patients...that means if each person has their 1 yearly check-up and little else, for one appointment of say 30 mins, that means 7,000 hours of chair time-Ed)...and they don't yet have all 10 operating...(yeah, yeah, but for argument's sake and ease of calculation 10 chairs for a total of 7,000 hrs, that's 700 hrs per chair per year, across say 50 weeks, that's a very rough calculation of 2/5ths of their 40 hr week just for basic checks-Ed)...if they can find 10 dentists to utilise all of those chairs all at the same time...

The issue of the waiting list obviously remains and is effectively another workload of at least 16 months which effectively equates to most of the time that would remain in a 40 hr Dentist week, with all 10 chairs operating efficiently patient to patient...I've had the ironic pleasure of spending quite a bit of time in various dentist's chairs both private and at the Public Clinic so I've got a fair idea of what/how long it takes to do, say, a basic filling if nothing goes wrong, clean up and get organised for the next patient, give the dentist 5 minutes break, etc...

It is great to hear of these improved facilities and the potential for a further lowering of the waiting lists, and I genuinely hope that they can attract the staff to get it all happening to maximum capacity as soon as possible and remain that way as much as possible...    

It was hardly a surprise 1) when Climate Change sceptic Ian Warburton was appointed head of the review of the Renewable Energy Targets, that he would 2) reach today's decision that the RET are not really necessary...and he's wrong on 1) because the realities of what we do as a voracious contamination loosely disguised as a species, cannot be denied...(whaaa?-Ed)...just using that old analogy that the human species is like a bacteria or infection slowly choking the planet to death with our very existence via the very things we do...(oh look out it's Captain Happypants again-Ed)...

My Main Fan Man: is Miles George of Infigen Energy who has been all over the media bleating out his main Armageddon scenario in response to Mr Warburton, along with Kane Thornton of the Clean Energy Council, et al...(oh, you mean the scenario where the Wind Turbine Industry has to fund itself and therefore immediately folds because the whole things an uneconomic snow-job?-Ed)...yeah, that's the one...and the same interview over and over on the ABC TV news and they read out one SMS suggesting that the money should be invested elsewhere...it really did look like just another round of pro-Wind Turbine propaganda poured through the ABC...

Chronic Ministerial Incomptent: Labor's Grace Portolesi has just received her reward for being a corrupt pro-paedophile Education Minister, albeit just one in a long line...(isn't it now Jennifer Rankine, wife of current Lower House Speaker and former Attorney General Michael Atkinson, a key figure at the head of the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up?-Ed)...that be they...(and I'm not just lashing out or whatevs, I have had it put to me by someone that has dealt extensively with Ms Rankine that she's as dumb as a box a' hammers, someone whom even in live conversation talks in prepared statements/cliches/whatevs and appears entirely unable of independent thought as part of a fluid discussion-Ed)...

Don't know mate, never met her, but even in the brief media blips I've seen, she comes across as a classic empty vessel puppet politician pushed out in front of a phalanx of the genuine operators, out in front of the pro-paedophile Labor Party...

On June 1st 2012 I caught Premier Jay Weatherill live on ABC Radio Adelaide, his office immediately contacted me via the station whilst still on air, and I was subsequently run in small circles until being hand-balled off to Grace Portolesi who dismissed me by letter without even contacting me, and the Mt Gambier ABC and The Border Watch refused to do/print/whatevs anything about it...what a disgraceful piece of hand-washing, dismissing me/the St Martins Cover-up issue without even contacting parents...what a corrupt bastard...she rightly lost her seat at the March 2014 state Election... 

But now she's been handed a plum job completely out of the blue, as Chair of the Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission at $70,000...(but she wasn't even on the Board. Commission/whatevs, not nowhere near it-Ed)...exactly...and Weatherill/Labor have also created another separate but effectively identical position  for her as a Migrant Affairs Advisor at $30,000...(so that's just here you go here's $100,000 a year-Ed)...and only one of a long list of Labor politicians/mates/stooges who have received Board positions, etc, in the last fortnight...more tomorrow...it's just open corruption...(absolutely-Ed)...

And I'd just like to close with the latest gem from our clearly no oars what-so-ever in the shreckin' water PM Mr Tony 'The Mad Monk' Abbott, fresh back from saying stupid and offensive things internationally to say stupid and offensive things here on the domestic front in the Great Wide Brown Land Down Under cobber...apparently White Settlement is the defining point in Australian history, bar none...(and let him repeat that, as he always does, repeatedly, saying things over, just to make the point, repeatedly, because if it's worth saying-Ed)...stop, just stop...please...  

Tomorrow: The Council/Mayor/Whatevs Stuff

(Whatevs-Ed)...whatevs...(fine-Ed)...fine...(just fine-Ed)...just fine...

Why Grammars Is Important: and like words and stuff...just listening the other day to reportage about the Royal Commission into Trade Unions, and the evidence of Ms Kathy Jackson, the senior Health Services Union official and official 'whistleblower' re others in the union...(is she the one who has her own slush funds and Union provided credit cards, etc, all the things others are in trouble for?-Ed)...well yes and no in that she does/did have access to sizeable sums of money without accountability, but that in itself is/was not specifically anything unlawful because it is/was part of the Union structures/processes/whatevs...

Anyhoos, apparently Ms Jackson was in the witness box being cross examined by the lawyers for the HSU, right, when she objects to being questioned by one particular lawyer and asks for him to be removed/barred/whatevs because she and he were sexual partners some 20 years ago...(so he'd also been in the witness box fgnnnyuk chortle chortle-Ed)...oh it gets better...(better?...wheeze...how?-Ed)...in the reportage they stated that 'Ms Jackson objected to that lawyer questioning her because they used to have sex and he would hold it against her'...(aaaahahaha, but why did she want him not questioning her? nyuk nyuk wheeze-Ed)...exactly, 'he would hold it against her' is the actual reason not the sexual act...chortle...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
