No-one you seeeeee, is faster or looser than heeeee...and yes dear availees, I am using the theme song from the TV series 'Flipper', the cetaceous equivalent of our own dear 'Skippy', in referring to our mendacious Prime Minister Scott 'Scummo' Morrison and his pathological aversion to telling the truth and relentlessly Gaslighting the electorate...(well in that context he's a multi-instrumentalist-Ed)...how so?...(well, he's playing fast and loose with the truth, thusly and simultaneously playing the Australian public for suckers-Ed)...oh nice one man...and his latest vile effort was to go on appalling 'shock-jock' Ray Hadley's bilious radio show and vilely fake cry his way through another wholly political, unambiguous attack on Queensland Premier Anna Palaszczuk...and the vehicle for this latest attack? Scummo shamelessly and opportunistically used a young woman's attempts to attend her father's funeral...(good ol' Scummo, he really is scum isn't he? although, in fact, scum can be useful, like pond scum can be a source of biofuel production, where-as #ScottyTheSimp is just a nasty stench lookin' for somewhere to happen-Ed)...indeed, he really is a deplorable human being, and this effort today is absolutely typical...and here's a link to a classic angry sneer photo of Scummo...it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and indeed this photo speaks volumes...what a guy...
https://twitter.com/davidbewart/status/1303664874610806784/photo/1
And here's a lovely link to a comedic piece from Dan Ilic, that unfortunately is just way too accurate to be able to just wave-away as satire...this is as strictly factual account of how Scummo functions, it's relentless and absolute Cult of Personality self-aggrandising press conferences about endless 'Announcements' that inevitably prove to be straight-out lies...be it Bush Fire Recovery, Arts COVID Funding Support, the farcical 'HomeBuilder' program, etc, etc, he's all talk and no substance...
https://twitter.com/danilic/status/1296749615232872448
And whilst we're on the subject of deceitful announcements and outright lies, here's Mt Gambier City Council Mayor Lynette 'In Da' House' Martin, as taken from MGCC's Facebook page, yet again relentlessly lying about what MGCC did and/or didn't say about the ludicrously exorbitant $64million Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre...(hang on, she says "$57m"?-Ed)...yep, and on the same day Council announced this Tender to Badge Constructions, with it's massive price increase from $39.1m to $57m, it was being reported by The Advertiser that they'd seen the secret documents, etc, and that the true cost was more like $64m...(strewth! and putting aside her and CEO Andrew 'Peddle To The' Meddle's relentless weasel-words about this huge disparity in costs, eg, the $39m was just an 'interim costing', the reality is that this FARC was repeatedly presented and promoted to Mt Gambier Citizens/Ratepayers as being a '$39.1m Completed Project'-Ed)...and here again Lynette deliberately grossly misquotes support numbers, it wasn't '70% of respondents' who voted 'Yes', it was 70% of the 40% (approx) returned, a final figure of approx 30% support...(I also note that she doesn't actually explain any of the differences/adjustments/alterations/'future-proofing' that supposedly explain/justify this huge blow-out-Ed)...yep, weasel-words and deceit, from start to finish...
https://www.facebook.com/cityofmountgambier/
And to close-out today, here's the links to two articles from Independent Australia, both relating to the apparent culture of gross misogyny in the Australian Jazz industry, a culture that extends to the Sexual Assault of women/girls, and the protection of perpetrators...(I see that James Morrison gets a well-earned guernsey for his appalling support of 'Rapist'/convicted Indecent Sexual Assaulter Matthew Harkin-Ed)...yep, but I do note that Morrison's mate, Groomer and Rapist Graeme Lyall doesn't get a mention...it is a very unpleasant but excellent discussion about where we as a community 'draw the line' between success and skill, etc, and gender inequality and sexual abuse, etc, and how to report and/or record and/or respond...

https://independentaustralia.net/life/life-display/sexual-misconduct-in-the-australian-jazz-scene-needs-to-be-discussed,14068
So that's all for today, 'cos there's a ton of stuff to read through there...I also again refer dear availees to those New Matilda articles about Graeme Lyall, and to the articles about Sexual Assault in Educational Institutions and issues with the Morrison Jazz Academy by Matilda Duncan on her well-researched blog, matildaduncan.net...quick Interweb searches will get you there...
Tomorrow: Part Deux Of The FARC Development Plan Debasco (debacle tail-ends a fiasco)
This relates directly to the lies and deceits and weasel-words spewin'-out of MGCC...I see on their Facebook page a hilarious photo of the stooges grinning inanely about RUOK Day...I wonder how they reconcile this with their own bullying, harassment and abuse of fellow Councillors like Kate Amoroso?...(and what about that hilarious time in September 2017 when Frank 'The Jellyfish That Grew A Spine And Roared Like A Mouse From It's Ivory Tower' Morello bailed you up outside a Council meeting and threatened and abused you, and then Mark 'Mighty Marky Mark McShenanigans' McShane, and Nick Serle and Mark Lovett came out and joined in?-Ed)...indeed, if it wasn't so serious it would be pathetically hilarious...I distinctly recall the hilarious sight of them pouring out of the door but getting bottle-necked there 'cos I didn't back off, and then Lovett tried to intimidate/threaten me, and then McShambles threatened me as well...in a word, pathetic...
I am Nick Fletcher, and all this above, particularly that I don't succumb to gutless posturing bullying and threats, this is why Magistrate Ian White helped these clowns get me banned from Council meetings, via his reprehensibly vile political mis-use of Final Intervention Orders...(well because of that, and 'cos ya' then go home and slam it all down on this 'ere blog, outtin' them for their Nepotistic Institutionalised Corruption , and makin' them look like the thuggish crooks that they are-Ed)...indeed...anyhoos, I am he, you's are here on my blog, and cheers for that and laters y'all...

The $57M FARC - Mt Gambier City Council Are Crooks, Thugs, And Liars
Howdy y'all to another very, very brief post, but that's only 'cos there's a veritable truckload of homework to be done...and cheers to the peeps who have been pointing-out some of this stuff to me, alerting me to certain Social Media posts, etc, etc...and so there's this, follow the link below...here is MGCC Mayor Lynette 'In Da House' Martin and CEO Andrew 'Peddle To The' Meddle being interviewed on local Triple M radio this Friday just gone, 4th September 2020...this runs very close to the same weasel-word deceits and outright lies and gutless denials that these prize clowns spewed-forth on the ABC South East Radio Friday a week ago, 28th August 2020...and the bonus here isn't just that this might mean I don't have to transcribe all that shizzle, but also, that there's 2 interviews here, the first being with Mr Graham Greenwood, as referred to in the previous post on this issue...
I also note that someone directed me to some Social Media posts by MGC Councillor Kate Amoroso, in response to criticism of the Council en masse...these posts align with stuff I've previously heard about how Ms Amoroso has been trying to get Council to inform Ratepayers/Citizens, rather than do all of this dodgy dealing 'In Camera', that is, secretly...Graham Greenwood also raises this issue, eg, that Council knew a full year ago that the cost had already blown-out from $39m to $50m, but didn't tell Ratepayers/Citizens...I have also heard many other 'statements' about Council's appalling bullying, harassment, and abuse of Cr Amoroso...and I say "statements" rather than 'rumours' because I believe it all to be completely true, given 1) my 'sources', and 2) my personal experience of what shitfully gutless li'l thugs infest the benches of MGCC...(they really are a very low brand of human being aren't they-Ed)...well I tried to gentrify the title as best I could, but Crooks, Thugs, And Liars was the best I could manage...and just for the record, none of this stuff has come from Cr Amoroso, apart from the Social Media stuff, and I will be discussing it with her before I go into any specific details...anyhoos, here's the link...
https://www.triplem.com.au/story/graham-greenwood-raises-his-concerns-regarding-the-community-and-rec-center-for-mt-gambier-166124?fbclid=IwAR3Rp7aJavE_WWppj73e4SEGIskmI1OttcF0gZIvwqyxAM99Wu9HHwIi6Uc
I hope you 'enjoyed' this as much as indeed I have...(yeah, there's nothing quite like listening to Crooks, Thugs and Liars define themselves-Ed)...indeed, and 'cos it goes for so long I'll just direct y'all to it now and then do a further more thorough 'review' in a separate post, cheers...
Tomorrow: My Attempts To Stop The $57M FARC Fraud
And can I just make the point, as indeed I'm sure some regular dear availees are asking themselves, yes, I have been hugely and repeatedly critical of Graham Greenwood, including on this specific subject, the unnecessary FARC...I have criticised him for 'potentially' just serving-up Dorothy-Dixer style pseudo-criticism to MGCC, therefore allowing Council to deny and distract and deceive Ratepayers/Citizens, etc...but I was wrong...(sorry what?!-Ed)...and never happier to be proven so...(hang on a second-Ed)...'cos I'd rather be wrong if it involves having someone of Graham's relative credibility and 'conservativeness' and profile and social influence, etc, working for the benefit of this community...(ahhh, I get it, it's that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' stuff-Ed)...well, not really, it's more about the fact that Graham is clearly genuinely concerned and genuinely has the best interests of Mt Gambier at heart, and appears to have acted upon that concern...(fair enough-Ed)...we may never agree on anything ever again, but given that this is arguably the third largest issue currently affecting Mt Gambier, his 'activism' is welcome...
(Ummm, "third largest issue"?-Ed)...well of course there's the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, and then there's also the Culture of Sexual Assault at the Morrison Jazz Academy...(fair enough-Ed)...

Court Dismisses Corrections SA Attempt To Gaol Nick Fletcher
Howdy dear availees, and welcome to a super-short post that is in fact already done via the title...regular availees will be aware that Corrections SA has tried to argue that due to my diagnosed Mental Health issues with chronic and debilitating Agoraphobia, related Anxiety, and Depression, that therefore I was not a suitable candidate to do Community Service, and therefore I should be gaoled instead...(sorry, hang on, they're saying that if, due to Mental Health issues a person, in this case you, is not able to do Community Service, then that person should go to gaol instead?-Ed)...yep, that's what I said, and indeed, what Corrections SA were arguing...(and in a context where there is no gaol time involved in the original 'Conviction', it's only a 'fineable offence'?-Ed)...yep...(so they were saying that Mental Health issues is in and of itself a justification for gaoling someone?-Ed)...it's slightly more complicated than that, but yes, ultimately, that was their rationale...(that sir, is a bloody disgrace-Ed)...absolutely it is, and whilst this was clearly a 'personal vendetta' against li'l ol' moi on account of because 'Authorities' done hate me and the work we do here at this 'ere blog, etc, the fact remains that they've even gone to this place at all...
A Brief History:...like I said, it's slightly more complicated, but only in the sense that there's been one helluva' lot of official Pro-Paedophile Political Persecution leading up to this situation...regular availees will be well versed in the many and varied aspects of my "bizarre trial" (The Border Watch) and subsequent deeply corrupted 'Conviction' for 'blogging' about South Australia's Independent Commission Against Corruption, etc, etc, and I'm not getting into that again today...today we celebrate what it is in many respects a massive 'victory'...(albeit a victory for common sense!-Ed)...well sure, that's certainly one way to look at it, but I also take a degree of pride in riding-out this latest storm, and those close to me have encouraged me to take a brief moment to celebrate what they describe as a significant achievement...so, in that vein, Woohoo!...(yes indeed, well done sir-Ed)...
Now, whilst I am genuinely 'proud' of what I've managed to achieve here...(predominantly by just standing ya' ground and telling the truth-Ed)...indeed, but I don't want to get too carried away with my own wonderfulness 'cos as I said in jest, this is just as much a victory for common sense and decency and respect, as it is an exercise in brilliant legal machinations on my behalf...(well I don't know about "brilliant"-Ed)...yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying, and indeed I was barely involved in the hearing on Thursday 3rd September 2020, which Her Honour Magistrate Panagiotidis allowed me to attend via phone-link...(how do you mean "barely involved"?-Ed)...well, Her Honour spoke to the Corrections SA Prosecutor dude briefly, identifying where his/CSA's own Affidavit stated that I had provided them with medical evidence about my Mental Health issues back in October 2018...I'm not going to quote anything directly here 'cos the phone-link was a bit scratchy and I missed a few words here and there, but Her Honour was short, sharp and right to the point...(well are you allowed to quote stuff from Court?-Ed)...I think so, I didn't try to record it 'cos I know from my "bizarre trial" that you're not allowed to do that...(yeah right, you could have had a recorder sittin' there with you and nobody would have known-Ed)...indeed, but I didn't, but also I don't need no recording to have a particular statement made by Her Honour running 'round in my head...
"(I'm/We're?) Not Wasting Anymore Of The Court's Time":...and I've put that first bit with a (?) 'cos it wasn't clear, but the next bit was, clear as a bell...and it wasn't just the fact that Her Honour said this, it was the tone in her voice...it is not inappropriate for me to identify my interpretation of that tone as being one of a person who was not impressed, even frustrated bordering on annoyed with the CSA Prosecution...(perhaps Her Honour had had a particularly long day of dealing with various assorted drongoes, dufouses, and dare I say it, dickheads?-Ed)...well sure, possibly, probably, but it doesn't detract from the fact that HH even said this, it's a huge critique to level at CSA Prosecutions...(ya' know, in a very real sense, I'd reckon it's not a huge leap from 'Wasting The Court's Time', to 'Abuse of Process'-Ed)...spot on mate...(and I'd argue, even going as far as 'Malicious Prosecution'-Ed)...well indeed...(and the bizarrely self-contradictory CSA Affidavit would seem to self-identify this as absolutely being a 'Malicious Prosecution'-Ed)...well quite, and that has always been my position and I did identify that to the Court...
And to return to my earlier point that I was barely involved in this latest/final hearing, Her Honour did not ask me any questions, in fact I'm not sure I said a single word, and it was all over in minutes...(I believe the phrase HH used was 'the application is revoked'(?)-Ed)...yeah, something like that, but again, it was dropping in and out a bit as phone reception has a habit of doing here in 1955, I mean here in Mt Gambier and regional Australia more generally...it was all so sudden and more than a li'l surreal given what's happened previous in my "bizarre trial" processes...I wasn't exactly sure that I'd heard it all correctly, and indeed it wasn't until Her Honour stated 'You have no matters before the Court Mr Fletcher' that it started to sink-in a bit...2 days later and it's still a dawning reality...(and ironic really that "sinking-in" can cause a sense of being 'uplifted'-Ed)...and most poignantly put dear Ed, indeed, that's exactly what's happened, it's exactly how I feel...I was an absolute write-off yesterday...(but that didn't stop you pursuing Mt Gambier City Council's latest act of complete bastardry, their massively corrupt construct, the Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre $57million Fraud-Ed)...well I had a go sure, but that's for tomorrow's post...(fair enough-Ed)...today we're just gunna' celebrate a quiet slice of 'Stickin' It To The Man'...
And having said that, I'm under no illusion that this whole affair, this wholly corrupted affair is anywhere near concluded...(well there's your ongoing attempts to just access your "bizarre trial" recordings/transcripts with a view to actually getting your Appeal lodged-Ed)...well yep, there is all that, just another hugely corrupt bastardisation of appropriate process as part of the broader "Malicious Prosecution"...(and there's the rancidly corrupt politicised Final Intervention Orders, aren't they still 'active'?-Ed)...think so, not sure...(and does this latest decision mean that other restrictions have been lifted, eg, you can now leave the State?-Ed)...great question mate, I've no idea, so I'll have to write to the Court and seek direction/clarification...(and possibly get the transcripts, etc-Ed)...yeah, that too...and so as not to shoot myself in either foot and/or both, I'll also get direction about posting my own correspondence with the Court...(well that's your own stuff so I'd reckon that's not an issue-Ed)...that's what I think, but just to be sure it won't hurt to ask...(and it's not like we ain't got a tonne of other stuff to cover-Ed)...indeed...(do you reckon that CSA might try to Appeal Her Honour's ruling?-Ed)...well, whilst it wouldn't exactly surprise me given their malicious conduct thus far, you'd reckon that HH's comment about "wasting anymore of the Court's time" might put-paid to that...
So in conclusion, I'd just like to allow myself another small Woohoo!...I'd also like to acknowledge that handful of people who have supported and/or advised me through this latest round of "Malicious Prosecution", particularly my ever-suffering Tech Support who has doubled as my Emotional Editor, helping me produce balanced factual correspondence sans anger and provocation, cheers big ears...
Tomorrow: MGCC's $57m Fraud And Deceit Of Mt Gambier Ratepayers
They say that politics makes strange bedfellows, but I never thought I'd be quilt-sharing with Graham Greenwood...and because I've been scathingly critical of Mr Greenwood in the past, it gives me great pleasure to be proven wrong on at least this one issue...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
PS: Please indulge me this, one last Woohoo!...(back of the net-Ed)...

$57Million FARC Debasco Must Be Stopped- First Of Two Posts (31 August 2020)
***Howdy dear availees, welcome to a coupla' quite random and sporadic posts about the proposed $57million Mt Gambier FARC (Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre)...as you'll see, I started into this stuff about Mt Gambier City Council's Development Planning Consent Application aways back in March 2020, including doing a written and then verbal submission to the State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP), which itself involved reading through MGCC's 156 page DPCA and trying to cover that via a post on this 'ere blog...(which then blew-out to 2 posts-Ed)...indeed it did, and then other stuff interposed itself and neither post was completed...(and then the SCAP approved the DPCA anyways-Ed)...yeah, and it all went on the semi-scrap heap to be possibly retrieved sometime laters...(and now here we are, laters-Ed)...yep, and stuck with 2 posts that are individually all over the shop, but together paint a more understandable picture...so I ask y'all dear availees to bear with these 2 posts and particularly this first one, which, as you'll see, identifies itself as being the second post, contains multiple half-finished paragraphs, etc...and y'all can check my bona fides for berating, my credentials for critiquing, the actualities of my activism by going to the SCAP website, and lookin'-up 'Minutes' for 19th March 2020, and there, under 'Representors', there's li'l ol' me and my submission, etc, mentioned by name...oh look, here's the link...

However, as disjointed as some of this stuff is, it shows that I did review MGCC's DPCA, and as above, I have tried to engage with this farce, therefore I have every right to comment and that I do so in an informed manner, it ain't just my opinion, etc...(well quite, so when you state that many of the excuses offered by MGCC CEO Andrew 'Peddle To The' Meddle are lies, it's 'cos you can point to the truth that is confirmation of that lie, if you see what I mean-Ed)...absolutely, and I just today listened again to that lengthy lie-laden ABC South East Radio interview with The Peddler from last Friday 28th August 2020, and I'm really regretting my promise to dear availees that I'd transcribe the entire interview, which goes for 16 minutes, 'cos it's gunna' take like freakin' forever...(perhaps just do some bits-Ed)...yeah, I'll still try to get to it, but my energy's lacking 'cos it's a done deal...(a rancidly corrupt done deal-Ed)...of course, it's a Mt Gambier City Council deal, but it's still a done deal all the same...and Mt Gambier Ratepayers have been played as suckers every step of the way by our rancidly corrupt Council, deceived, manipulated, and straight-out lied to...remember, this started as a petition about an All Weather Covered Pool (effectively just enclosing the current Olympic-size pool), then off the back of that support Tony Pasin and MGCC suddenly rocketed it to a $39m 'Recreation Centre' without the pool covered, etc, and that that is what 'Citizens' were asked to 'Vote' for via the mail-in poll that saw only 40% respond and then only 70% of them say 'Yes'...
And because it is a big issue for some, that 'Poll' was for everyone in Mt Gambier, not just for the Ratepayers, but it is Ratepayers that are gunna' cop it right between the thighs when this massive cost blow-out and associated massive borrowing come home to roost via massive Rate increases...(ummm, don't you mean 'cop it right between the eyes', the eyes, not "the thighs"?-Ed)...no, I've written exactly what I mean, and with all due respect to dear lady availees 'cos I can't comment specifically on what that might be like for y'all, I'm using that as a non-gender specific state of discomfort I reckon we can all relate to, and therefore all get the point I'm making...(it's gunna' really, really hurt?-Ed)...exactly...(and probably take a really long time to get off the floor afters, and back on one's feet?-Ed)...in a fiscal sense, absolutely...and consider also that Ratepayers what is acting as landlords are gunna' pass-on those increases to tenants, which will have a debilitating effect on tenancy, etc...(particularly with issues like the reportedly exorbitant rents already being charged in the Main St precinct and how that is related to the many empty premises, etc, and how current Rates contribute to the 'high rents', etc-Ed)...spot on, it's a vicious upward spiral of costs, in a deflating retail shopfront environment...it's already that "Perfect Storm' for landlords, and it's just gunna' get worse...
Now suddenly, without any Public Consultation or any sort of Ratepayer input, etc, MGCC is unilaterally gunna' 'borrow' at least $32m to cover the gap between Federal and State funding, totaling $25m, and the new $57m price tag...(more like a price millstone if you ask me-Ed)...well quite...and The Peddler's got the bare-faced audacity to wave away these concerns with glib statements about how MGCC has "a mandate" and that people originally voted not about the final costs, but rather, about whether or not to accept that $25m funding offer...
And I'm gunna' cover this critical issue of 'Rate Increases' in both posts 'cos it's absolutely indicative of the outright lies that MGCC and most particularly The Peddler is, well, peddling......all involved have repeatedly and vehemently denied that Rates will be increased as a result of the FARC...(but haven't they already committed to a guaranteed 4.5% annual increase, regardless of CPI, etc?-Ed)...yep, and Member for Barker Tony Pasin was himself originally quoted as saying that there would be Rate increases, when he kicked-off this entire debasco aways back in January/February 2018...so here's what MGCC said on page 148 of their official DPCA...
"...(MGCC has) a strong sense of social responsibility for ongoing operational costs which will
necessarily flow through as rate increases to the community..."
...(but hang on a sec, that says that "operational costs...will necessarily flow through as rate increases"-Ed)...yep, you've got ahead of me there, 'cos I was about to point-out the apparent Professional Word-Weaseling of MGCC and The Peddler, where-in they are clearly very impressed with themselves in trying to obfuscate the issue with a view to deliberately deceiving Ratepayers/Citizens...and to achieve that deception they are separating 'Building Costs' from 'Operational Costs', and then saying 'No Rate Increases For Construction', when they know damn well that there will be huge Rate Increases related to 'Operational Costs'...
(Yeah, well, whilst you're quite correct and that's absolutely a critical indicator of MGCC's and The Peddler's deliberate deceits/corruption, etc, and that there will obviously and unavoidably be Rate increases to finance that massive $32m loan, etc, I was in fact referring to the MGCC admission that the FARC is gunna' run at a loss, and how that then impacts on MGCC's/Ratepayer's ability to finance/repay any costs, let alone a $32m loan-Ed)...please explain...(well they're admitting that they'll need to raise Rates just to pay for the FARC's running costs, which is itself an admission that it's gunna' run at a loss-Ed)...oh sweet baby cheeses, you're absolutely right, that's exactly what that statement says, 'operational costs will force rate increases', that says that MGCC are admitting that the income from the FARC will not cover even the basic operational costs...(and therefore Rates will need to be increased-Ed)...oh dear gourd, we are soooo rooted...(yep, if that's what their official DPCA says, then what hope for the future?-Ed)...yep, and it's so critical, it bears repeating, loudly...
MGCC is admitting that their own 'Business Model', for lack of a better and more appropriate name, their own official projections of the FARC's income is that it will not earn enough to cover basic running costs, and therefore there's gunna' be Rates increases.
And so we get to the disjointed bits I already did months ago...apologies in advance, but we'll get there across these 2 posts, I hope...cheers...***
Howdy dear availees in parts here. there, near and far...(even if you are a 'bot', an automated availee, gourd knows, I'm a confected literary device not an actual person, so solidarity brothers and sisters-Ed)...yes yes, alright, more power to you Ed, but as I understand it 'bots' are usually 'disguised' to appear to be actual peeps, and are mostly malicious in nature and designed/operated to 'troll' people, and/or skew debate and/or drive a false narrative, etc, where-as you are openly identified as a created character to help generate discussion and debate, as opposed to outright lecturing, and to set-up jokes and stuff...(and apparently quite effectively 'cos peeps periodically ask, 'who is Ed?'-Ed)...indeed they do...but we digress, howdy one and all, and welcome to the second of 2 posts about the current dysfunctional actionings of the Mt Gambier City Council and their beloved bloody Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre...so y'all are probs aware, we are currently at the Development Planning Consent (Planning Only) stage, but if you want to skip to the last coupla' paragraphs in this 'ere post, I've updated this stuff as best I can...
And as I struggle to try and keep myself informed about such matters, often much to the detriment of my own Mental Health, eg, watching Scotty From Marketting spew unrelenting deceits and endless mindless rhetoric at perpetual pointless press conferences...(gourd he loves the sound of his own voice-Ed)...yeah, not so keen on other's voices though...(particularly those voices asking questions he don't wanna' hear!-Ed)...exactly...so, 'cos I needed to know, I've repeatedly subjected myself to all 156-ish pages of MGCCs Application...(strewth!-Ed)...indeed, and it hasn't let me down...(no?-Ed)...nope, I only got as far as page 3, before the whole thing had gone to Heck in a Handbasket, etc, etc, and if MGCC's litany of pro-FARC lies, deceits and manipulations across the last 2 years weren't enough cause for concern, page 3 is of itself a huge concern...(how so?-Ed)...where to begin? well, firstly, it doesn't appear to have been completed correctly...(mmm?-Ed)...there's numerous sections requiring specific information and they're mostly blank...(and we're off to a flying start-Ed)...
***moved stuff here to Post 2, just skip through this stuff...***
Page 8...The official FARC Development Application is a hand-scribbled mess, and has MGCC CEO Mr Andrew 'Peddle To The' Meddle supposedly lodging that 'Application' on the 25th November 2019
Pages 9 -
These 'plans' (page 35) show that the FARC will be built immediately adjacent to the sink hole in O'Halloran Tce, in fact, the proposed 'Southern Carpark' is literally right next to it...(does this mean MGCC plans to try and fill-in' that sink hole, but just haven't told anyone?-Ed)...gourd knows mate
44 Anybody who currently uses Margaret St knows that even minimal traffic flow can be problematic when trying to exit, particularly any right hand turn, and that at the Bay Rd end the petrol station on that corner further complicates safe traffic management
Pages 44-64 is just 20 pages of nonsense 'Traffic Figures' that supposedly support Council's ultimate position that everything is just gunna' be fine...(fine?-Ed)...just fine...and anybody who's tried to get outta' Margaret St at the Bay Rd end knows that it can be highly problematic due to the often blocked
view
66 Noise Assessment...***stuff about sound-proofing for concerts, etc***
And hasn't Council also promised nearly $2m to 'deepen and re-vamp the outdoor pool', but as a separate project/cost to the $30m FARC?...
***and here we jump to the stuff about my SCAP submission and testimony***
Well I did my 5-minute verbal submission via phone on 19th March 2020, and not sure that I actually achieved anything, but there you go, at least I had a go...(sorry, "5 minute"? only 5 minutes?-Ed)...yeah, and via phone and no documentation allowed/considered...(but I thought you said you spent many hours across several days preparing your 'verbal submission'?-Ed)...I did, as stated, that Application is 156 pages, and I was simultaneously doing this 'ere post which became so long I've had to split it into 2 posts, and then try to tidy them up a bit, etc, etc...(sounds like a very tortuous process-Ed)...well it ain't exactly been fun times for ol' Nicky boy, not least of all, and as I explained it to the SCAP peeps, when my extensive interactions with MGCC and/or witnessings of their relentless Institutionalised Corruption means that I inherently do not, nay, can not trust a single word they say...(let alone a series of them words strung together in what we like to call a sentence-Ed)...indeed, and similarly do I have nought but disdain and disbelief for any MGCC alleged facts, figures, statistics and/or graphs, etc, etc, etc...it is therefore an exercise in redundant dis-counting of anything they have to say with regards to effectively anything and/or anything in the MGCC FARC Application...(and the SCAP's response?-Ed)...that this, the 'believability/trustworthiness' of MGCC was not an issue they would consider in their decision-making process...(yeah, but you did outright call it "corruption" didn't you? don't they need take heed to that critical issue when considering the various facts and figures presented to them by MGCC?-Ed)...well Yes and No, apparently...("Yes and No"? which is it?-Ed)...
***sorry, forget where I was goin' with that, let's push on...***
Now I still have my previously described concerns, but I'm taking it from what the SCAP said that the various discrepancies and blank spaces, etc, on Page 3 are not a problem...
Anyhoos, that was 0945hrs-ish on the Thursday morn (19th March), and the SCAP emailed me at lunchtime the next day (Friday) to tell me that the Application had been approved...
***So it took a whole day for the SCAP to approve the DPCA...and now back to the MGCC DPCA stuff***
Page 98 shows that sinkhole being used as the depository for the storm-water off the roof of the FARC building...(what? but that's almost guaranteed to cause massive and even catastrophic erosion!-Ed)...well if by catastrophic erosion you mean that dumping huge volumes of water into the sinkhole is almost certainly going to cause further subsidence and is highly likely to cause collapse of the cave system immediately below...(that's exactly what I mean, and anyone with even a basic knowledge of Karst Systems knows this-Ed)...a Karst System being "a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterised by underground drainage systems and sinkholes and caves."...(exactly, the exact topography of most of the South East, including every square foot of the City of Mt Gambier!-Ed)...hard to believe that they (MGCC) don't know this...and they know that Englebrecht and Umpherston Caves are examples of exactly that sort of system...
***...and that's where I'm gunna' finish this post, but hopefully most of that still makes some sense, and it's mostly covered in greater detail in the next post...as I said, I had started to break this into 2 posts and only got halfway there, etc, but I think we covered the most critical point, namely, the stuff about MGCC admitting that the FARC will run at a loss, leading to Rate increases...
Tomorrow: Part 2 Of The SCAP DPCA Stuff
Thanks y'all for your patience with these posts, and I'll try to make the next one a li'l less clunky...

Pack Up Ya' Troy Bells In Your Ol' Kit Bag
***Started this several weeks ago, so apologies for any continuity issues, etc***
(Ohhh, for gourd sake, you ain't lettin' go of that bone any time soon are ya'?-Ed)...I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...(I'm talking about your relentless flogging of that same sorry 'Troy Bell/trouble' pun-Ed)...ahhh, in that case I do know what you're talking about...(and from what I can gather, most of this post ain't even about the current Member for Mt Gambier in the South Australian House of Assembly (Lower House), and/or the 'troubles' he's seeing via the blatantly obvious Political Persecution he is currently undergoing courtesy of SA's rankly corrupt Independent Commissioner Against Corruption-Ed)...oo oo, that reminds me...(reminds you of what?-Ed)...that My Bestie And Also In His Spare Time ICAC Comm Bruce 'Brews Slander' Lander is retiring and being replaced by Justice(?) Anne Vanstone...(now where do I know that name from?-Ed)...well she's been a relatively prominent person in SA legal circles for some time, but I'd guess it's because she's the sister-in-law of former Liberal (Federal) Senator Amanda Vanstone...(oh gourd-Ed)...yesss, I know, but please be open to the possibility that that doesn't necessarily define Ann's operandi politique and/or social disposition, etc, maybe she loathes her 'Outlaws' and has nothing to do with them, and her/their ideologies/behaviours/etc may be world's apart...("operandi politique"?-Ed)...yeah, I made it up, simply meaning her political leanings /allegiances/whatevs and how that affects her conduct/decisions/etc...
Guilty By Association, Guilty By Inheritance:...and arguably on an absolute hiding to nothing is the incoming Commissioner, due to the definable Institutionalised Corruption evident in her predecessor's conduct...(in the same way that Grant King's multiple 'political' appointments by the rancidly corrupt Rann/Weatherill Labor government defined the HAC and RDA as being corrupt, that is, my maaate Grant was 'appointed' to the Health Advisory Council and Regional Development Australia immediately following his still non-investigated defrauding of at least $3million from the failed Green Phone enterprise-Ed)...indeed, and a quick perusal of her credentials and work history ain't doin' much to alleviate my concerns...(employment with all the usual suspects?-Ed)...indeed, and given my experiences of the rancidly corrupt SAPol (police) Prosecutions and the Director of Public Prosecutions I'm also deeply concerned about some of the 'controversial' decisions that she has been involved in, eg, in 2008 the High Court described her directions to the jury as 'lacking neutrality', basically re-iterating the Prosecution case whilst almost ignoring the Defence...there are other examples, just Interweb search her history...
Language Warning:...And again Dear Googles I'd like to own "my rights as a living woman"...(aha, nice zeitgeist reference to the current trend of privileged fuckwits, particularly women it seems, although that may just be the 'reporting' paradigm, etc, but they're refusing to wear masks and harassing poor Bunning employees or Australia Post staff, etc-Ed)...including apparently circulating some manifesto/script thingy that tells them they have the 'Right' to do whatevs they fuckin' feel like, fuckin' whenevs, fuckin' whatevs, and fuck everybody else...(fuckin' idiots!-Ed)...yep, we have some real issues in Australia at the moment about genuine actual Fascism courtesy of PM Scott 'Scummo' Morrison cancelling Parliament and declaring himself a One-Man Cabinet and appointing mates to unaccountable COVID Committees, etc, and there's our actual breaches of Human Rights Conventions regarding our appalling, politicised treatment of refugees, etc, but do these fuckin' idiots protest any of that? nup, they're goin' to the shops and yellin' fuckin' incoherent bullshit at under-paid staffers...(if it weren't so stupid it'd just be sad-Ed)...End Language Warning...mmm, anyhoos, it is not 'Defamation' or whatevs, it is my 'right' to state the realities as I have experienced them re the Institutionalised Pro-Paedophile Corruption that defines South Australia's Legislature (Parliament/Public Service), the Executive (Police/Corrections), and the Judiciary (errr, Judiciary)...so's when I see someone who has spent their entire professional life as part of that definably compromised system, I'd reasonably be considered an absolute idiot if I did not have very genuine concerns...(but to argue against ya'self, not everyone you've encountered in the Parliament or in SAPol or in the Courts, etc, not everyone's been rabidly bent-Ed)...excellent point...
(*This is a very basic breakdown of the actual Legislature/Executive/Judiciary structure for the purposes of this 'ere blog, eg, the 'Elected Government' is part of the 'Executive', and some parts of the 'Public Service' can be both Legislature and Executive, and there are many overlaps from Federal to State powers and functions, etc...it's actually a very complicated web of responsibilities and accountabilities, etc...(as witnessed with the current Aged Care and State Borders issues-Ed)...yep, although Aged Care is clearly a Federal responsibility that Scott 'Smirky Shirker' Morrison is desperately trying to deny...if like me, you struggle a bit with the technicalities and intricacies, etc, but do wanna' know more, just Interweb search it, it's well worth educationing ones-self about this shizzle as best one can.*)
But back to your excellent point well made Ed, indeed and for example, Her Honour Teresa Anderson was initially clearly not very impressed with me and my habit of abruptly repeatedly correcting her, etc, but HH very quickly realised that it was the bucket a' false info that she was being fed by SAPol Prosecutions, etc, that's where the real problem lay, and given that, that I was actually being quite polite and respectful in my conduct...(and that then led to HH treating you with genuine respect and listening to what you were saying about your 'Trial' being a "Pro-Paedophile Political Persecution" as motivated by this 'ere blog, etc-Ed)...absolutely, which led directly to HH identifying that as being "Abuse of Process" and then "Malicious Prosecution", and ultimately to Her Honour 'excusing/recusing' herself and withdrawing...(and in abject contrast, we have the definable bias and abuse and threats and badgering and repeated corrupt collusion with SAPol Prosecutions, etc, of HH's 'replacement', Magistrate Ian White-Ed)...indeed, chalk and cheese...and SAPol's conduct, both ACB and Prosecutions, through-out my "bizzare trial", was appallingly corrupt and inept, but that doesn't mean that the cops repeatedly sent to my house in November/December 2018 knew that they were there to harass and intimidate me...(well, not until you told them anyways, then they knew-Ed)...sure, but that was just me reacting quietly and respectfully and quite appropriately to having cops continuously lobbing on my doorstep and sticking cameras in my face and demanding DNA swabs, etc, in what was clearly a campaign of exactly that, harassment and intimidation designed to make me feel unsafe in my own home...
Politically though, I ain't quite so balanced and/or forgiving, almost without exception I have found 'politicians' to be at best self-serving and self-protecting, etc, and at worst, just fundamentally corrupt, usually with a strong Pro-Paedophile aspect to that corruption...but that doesn't mean that I'm incapable of re-considering my position about specific situations and/or politicians...for example, I was initially very supportive of Nick Xenophon, and gave him what I considered the benefit of the doubt about his actions regarding the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...and eventually my personal beliefs about his perceived failures to follow-through on promises of support, etc, that leached into my opinion of his actual actions in helping us parents get a Statutory Authorities Review Committee Inquiry into the Teachers Registration Board...my anger and trauma drew me away from that fundamental truth and I have been/become very damning of Mr Xenophon...but as I say, there is that fundamental truth, so whilst I have accused Mr Xenophon of potentially conspiring with the rancidly Pro-Paedophile Corrupt elements in both major political parties, Labor and Liberal, and leading us already traumatised parents into a blind-gully pseudo-Inquiry that never intended to do anything positive, etc, the fact remains that if he had merely said 'sorry, can't help you's' when we first went to him, then I couldn't now point to the 3 years long SARC Inquiry into the TRB, as motivated by the TRB handling of the St Martins Cover-up...(and where-in the TRB's conduct is itself a critical component of the St Martins Cover-up-Ed)...exactly...
When I manage to disavow myself of and disentangle myself from my personal trauma and anger, etc, I still believe that Mr Xenophon got us the relatively innocuous Inquiry he believed that the Parliament would support, as opposed to an Inquiry with any real powers and/or genuine intent...that is, he knew that the SARC Inquiry was never going to ultimately achieve any real change or resolve anything about the St Martins Cover-up, but it was still better than not getting any sort of Inquiry established at all...(here here!-Ed)...
But I digress...all this stuff conveniently collides under the 'Troy Bell Troubles' banner, 'cos there's the various issues of Bruce maaate's inappropriate involvement in Troy's investigation and prosecution, and of course how that relates to Bruce's definably complicit involvement in my "bizarre trial"...(are you talking about his personal referral of you to SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch?-Ed)...well sure, there was that, although is that strictly true/correct, 'cos when SAPol ACB unlawfully interviewed me at Mt Gambier Police Station, they made specific reference to the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions), an issue with this Troy Bell stuff...(well whatevs Bruce actually done, he done do it without conducting any sort of actual appropriate 'legislated' investigation by the Office of Public Integrity?-Ed)...again, yep, sure...(and then there's his personal written 'Authorisation' allowing you to speak with your Legal Eagle (lawyer), your family, your friends, and your doctor?-Ed)...well he did do that, yes, in July 2014, approximately 5 months after he'd personally referred me to either the DPP or SAPol ACB, etc, and therefore 5 months into the SAPol/ICAC 'Operation Baritone' what was/is all about li'l ol' moi, etc, etc, but most specifically I am referring to Bruce's collusion with the then Labor Attorney-General li'l Johnny Rau...(ah yes, all that stuff about Bruce maaate contacting li'l Johnny in September/October 2014 to request changing/expanding the ICAC Act 2012 Section 56 via the ICAC Miscellaneous Amendment Act 2014, as ratified in Parliament November 2014-Ed)...yep, retrospectively changing the legislation so as to allow prosecuting me...
And that ain't some paranoid rantings or conspiratorial self-obsession, 'cos we've previously documented all of that, so's regular availees will be well aware that several of those changes/expansions were about defining what 'To Publish' actually meant, and were in direct response to my Legal Eagle's correspondence with Bruce maaate, where-in my Leagles wrote asking that exact question, 'what does To Publish mean? there is no definition', etc...(and several other questions about the vastly vague and undefinable nature of the ICAC Act 2012 Section 56, eg, what the living shreck does "tending to suggest mean?"-Ed)...indeed...and recent revelations about Bruce mate's grossly inappropriate and potentially unlawful conduct with the Troy Bell investigation, it's all just a li'l bit too familiar for me...(I wonder just exactly how much these Court-ratified concerns have influenced Bruce mate's retirement?-Ed)...it's certainly a question worth asking...
And because someone's gone to the trouble of sending me this, and 'cos I can't be bothered just repeating it all myself by way of explanation, etc, etc, here's just one of the many stories about Bruce's abuses of his already vast powers...
https://indaily.com.au/news/2020/08/10/govt-to-review-damning-icac-judgement/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=InDaily%20Express%20%20August%2011%202020&utm_content=InDaily%20Express%20%20August%2011%202020+CID_f796994ca0156f2a697458526bc19ab0&utm_source=EDM&utm_term=READ%20MORE
And there are of course various other stories about this extraordinary issue, but I'll cover them in upcoming posts...this story is actually from 3 weeks ago, and there's been bulk machinationings related to it since, and we'll get onto that shortly like...(is it my imagination, or are we doing more frequent posts lately?-Ed)...well we're certainly tying, yes, and with the demise of The Border Watch and the multiple current Mt Gambier City Council corruptionings and associated bastardries to be addressed, etc, etc, now's as good a time as any to get this 'ere blog functioning propers again...(yay-Ed)...
Tomorrow: More Troy Bell And ICAC And MGCC Stuff
And just a quick mention, recently someone sent me some stuff about issues related to my 'Trial' and the Common Law Prohibition on Retrospective Criminal Prosecutions...I've read that stuff and whilst it clearly does relate to the extraordinary corruption of appropriate process I've described above...(where Bruce Mate went to li'l Johnny Rau and changed the ICAC Act so as to prosecute you?-Ed)...yep, exactly that...now I ain't no lawyer, but years of trawling through this sort of shizzle has taught me to spot some critical indicators, and the first one I spotted here, literally screaming at me off the page, was use of the term 'Conventions', it's a 'Convention' that such-and-such 'should occur'...this means it's what 'usually happens if everyone agrees', but the reality is that it ain't actually Law, it ain't strictly legislated, and therefore wide-open to 'interpretation' and/or just simply being ignored...(you mean like the Implied Freedom of Political Communication, itself a 'Convention' that is routinely misinterpreted as meaning that we have legislated Freedom of Speech like the USofA's Declaration (Bill) of Rights-Ed)...exactly, when the reality is very, very different, the reality lies in the first word, 'Implied', as opposed to 'Legislated'...
Of course, the IFoPC is one of the Constitutional Law issues that was identified during my 'Trial', and as acknowledged by both SAPol Prosecutions and the Court itself (Magistrate Rice), and there should have been a COAG meeting to evaluate/review the obvious CL issues, etc, etc, and is therefore a cornerstone of my ongoing attempts to Appeal...I'll go back through this Retrospective Laws stuff and see if I can't get a better handle on it, and post soon...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
(Ohhh, for gourd sake, you ain't lettin' go of that bone any time soon are ya'?-Ed)...I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...(I'm talking about your relentless flogging of that same sorry 'Troy Bell/trouble' pun-Ed)...ahhh, in that case I do know what you're talking about...(and from what I can gather, most of this post ain't even about the current Member for Mt Gambier in the South Australian House of Assembly (Lower House), and/or the 'troubles' he's seeing via the blatantly obvious Political Persecution he is currently undergoing courtesy of SA's rankly corrupt Independent Commissioner Against Corruption-Ed)...oo oo, that reminds me...(reminds you of what?-Ed)...that My Bestie And Also In His Spare Time ICAC Comm Bruce 'Brews Slander' Lander is retiring and being replaced by Justice(?) Anne Vanstone...(now where do I know that name from?-Ed)...well she's been a relatively prominent person in SA legal circles for some time, but I'd guess it's because she's the sister-in-law of former Liberal (Federal) Senator Amanda Vanstone...(oh gourd-Ed)...yesss, I know, but please be open to the possibility that that doesn't necessarily define Ann's operandi politique and/or social disposition, etc, maybe she loathes her 'Outlaws' and has nothing to do with them, and her/their ideologies/behaviours/etc may be world's apart...("operandi politique"?-Ed)...yeah, I made it up, simply meaning her political leanings /allegiances/whatevs and how that affects her conduct/decisions/etc...

The $39m FARC Up To $57million Now, Before They've Even Started
Howdy dear availees in the USofA, Switzerland, Malta, and Thailand, and most importantly today, right here in li'l ol' Mt Gambier...welcome y'all to TMGI with associated early Language Warning...regular availees will know that we here at TMGI often post stuff hoping to be proven entirely wrong, or at least a bit alarmist...(in the context that being correct means that the subject matter is likely riddled with corruption and/or incompetence, and then usually Institutionalised Pro-Paedophile Corruption-Ed)...correct, haha, that's exactly the idiom we operate in, and as the litany of un-realised Defamation Threats made against us proves, and as unpleasant and disturbing though our topics may be, we're inevitably 'correct' and even occasionally 'right'...but even Ed and I were absolutely stunned by this morning's announcement on ABC South East Radio...(and I'm a confected literary device utilised to create a sense of debate rather than just lecturing y'all dear availees , and to set-up jokes, etc, so you can imagine, it takes quite a lot to shock or surprise me-Ed)...well quite, but cop this matey, Mt Gambier City Council have managed to blow-out the Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre from the originally exorbitant $39million, to a mind-boggling $57m...(wow-Ed)...not quite what I said...(strewth!?-Ed)...mmm, and that $18m/45% increase comes before they've even turned the first sod...(oh my, they haven't even started and it's gone-up by that already?-Ed)...yep...(oh gourd we are royally fucked-Ed)...yep, we surely are...
And the ABC just had on MGCC Mayor Lynette 'In Da House' Martin and Chief Executive Officer Andrew 'Peddle To The' Meddle, and oh my sweet gourd...(let me guess, you've never heard so much absolute bollocks in your entire life?-Ed)...and mate, I've been to dozens of MGCC meetings before I was banned back in April 2018 by the rancidly corrupt Magistrate Ian White, etc, etc, so I've seen my fair share of bollocks, believe me...but anyhoos, here's a super-quick summary 'cos I'm gunna transcribe the full interviews...something about it's never a better time to borrow...(the $33million MGCC Ratepayers are gunna' get stuck for and/or with, forthwith?-Ed)...indeed, $33m via 'low interest loans to be re-paid over a 20 year period'...('cos they only got $25m 'funding', $15m from the federal LNP government and $10m from the state Liberal Party, so that's $33m to be borrowed-Ed)...and MGCC is still paying back nearly $2m of the money they borrowed a decade ago for the New Library debasco (debacle tail-ends a Fiasco)...but hey, it's only money, that Mt Gambier City Council doesn't have, and is prepared to lie about...(yay-Ed)...
No Pool Me Once, No Pool Me Twice:...'cos this latest announcement includes a new 'End Date' of approximately 'Autumn 2022'...(and that's if everything goes well, ya' know, minimal time lost to inclement weather or COVID-19, etc, etc-Ed)...exactly, if all goes 'to plan' there ain't gunna' be a public pool in Mt Gambier for the 2020/21 or 2021/22 Summer seasons...(well I'm sure people can just drive the 32-35kms to the coast or 50kms to Millicent or the 100kms to Naracoorte, no probs-Ed)...and if you don't have a lovely air-conditioned car, bad luck...or no car, and for example, instead rely on the weekdays-only public bus service in Mt Gambier, then no need to worry 'cos it's business as usual as Council continues to not give a flying fuck about you...(I can fly, I caaaan flyyyyy, sob-Ed)...steady on...and that closure could well extend into the 2022/23 season, given how massively MGCC has managed to fuck-up previous and relatively minor projects like the farcical Main Corner and the New Library...(and the Rail Lands, don't forget the Rail Lands, they really fucked that up, and not just once but several times over-Ed)...indeed they did Ed, and indeed they continue to do so, with their latest epic Corruption-Laden Brain Fart being to use Ratepayer's money to finally do some repairs, albeit only partial repairs, on the iconic Old Rail Station, with a view to, and get this, with a view to "giving it away" to some as yet unidentified business entity...(that "business entity" wouldn't be 'Councillor's Son & Sons' would it?-Ed)...you mean like they did with the $1m Main Corner Commercial Kitchen that was given to (then) Councillor Des Mutton's son Lachie?...(yeah, exactly like that bare-faced Nepotistic Corruption-Ed)...oh you can bet on it mate, you can absolutely bet on it...
MGCC Is A COVID-19 Cluster-Fuck:...and The Peddler was very keen to leap on the 'Blame It On The COVID Blame Train', repeatedly citing the pandemic as being responsible for the extraordinary and extensive delays in just getting to here, to this clusterfuck announcement today, and pre-excusing any delays and/or other problems by pre-blaming...(whilst simultaneously using 'the current health crisis issues to show us how necessary this centre is'-Ed)...and I'll 'ave 50 bob each way guvna', top a' the mornin'...(well that's just a terrible impersonation of The Peddler's truly annoying whiny English accent-Ed)...indeed, but as a First Generation White Australian with direct English ancestry, it's my inalienable birth-right, nay, my obligation, to take the piss out of that droning, whining noise that comes outta' that lying, rorting mouth...(now tell us what ya' really think-Ed)...well, when my mate Andy repeatedly states that, and I quote, "there will be no increase in Rates to pay for this", he's lying and he damn well knows it...Andy, mate, it's in your own damn application to the SCAP (State Commission Assessment Panel) and you damn well know it, 'it will be funded by an "increase in rates"...and then there's lies that are weasel-worded deceits and deliberate omissions...
For example, when asked to explain why the massive blow-out, Andrew matey rattled-on some absolute bollocks about the original plan not including fixtures and features, etc...(what, so the SCAP Application was for a vast empty box then?-Ed)...exactly, and as another example/excuse, apparently they/we will be utilising Timber and that that will reduce the cost...(but that's a reduction, that doesn't explain a massive increase-Ed)...I know! try explaining that to Handy Andy 'cos he clearly doesn't understand the basic concepts of increase vs decrease...(well decrease means...-Ed)...no no, thankyou, everyone else on the planet understands the difference, it's just Andy who seems to struggle...then he included the refurbishment of the Outdoor Olympic Pool...(but they've already announced that as being, what was it, $1.7m, so that's only say $2m of the $18m increase-Ed)...yep, and then Andy identified 'carparks' as a reason for the increase...(but again, that was all covered in infinitesimal detail in the SCAP Application, pages and pages of it, and not least of all, 'cos Council had to prove they had enough parking, easy street access, etc!-Ed)...yep, so let's just call that another outright lie...just a cavalier cavalcade of casual corruption...
Andy Gets 'Is Mandate Out:...when asked about whether or not the citizenry had actually voted for this $57m, given that they/we were told $39m and that's what the 45% of actual respondents actually supported at 73% 'Yes'...(well, apart from the fact that those numbers seem to go up every time they're reported, it is still in itself only actually less than 33% of potential respondents that wanted this FARC thing-Ed)...yep, and as we've covered before, given the one-sided pro-FARC spruiking of MGCC's expansive and expensive saturation marketting, and the relentless reporting, etc, and former CEO Mark 'Mighty Marky Mark McShenanigans' McShane feverishly catastrophising the situation, declaring across multiple ABC interviews that "we must do this or Mt Gambier will get fat and die" and "we must do this or Mt Gambier will die as a community", etc, etc, etc...despite all the support and advertising and doomsday predictions, etc, less than half the populace even responded, and then more than 25% of them said 'No Thanks'...but that didn't stop The Peddler from whippin'-out his "mandate" and waving it about for all to see/hear, as some sort of justification for this absurd project, let alone this massive increase...
The vast majority of Mt Gambier residents just wanted an enclosed, all-weather pool, and instead they've/we've been frog-marched into a quagmire of personal self-interest, Institutionalised Corruption, and generational Ratepayer debt...it's an absolute disgrace from the wholly self-interested Mt Gambier City Council and it must be stopped...

Latest Expose On The Morrison Jazz Academy Boy's Club
Howdy dear availees...as promised, a specific post especially dedicated to the latest article by citizen journalist Matilda Duncan, regarding the many and varied political 'criminalities' of the funding given to James Morrison for his business, and the related failings of the supposed 'business model', etc...this is of course all entirely separate to the extraordinary multiple issues of Morrison supporting and protecting 'Rapists'* at his business/Academy...(and also doesn't cover the bizarre granting of Charity Status to 'Generations In Jazz', another of Morrison's 'personal businesses'-Ed)...indeed, how the living shreck is that appropriate? and how did it happen?...(I'd love to see Ms Duncan go hard at that particular issue-Ed)...well yes, with what she's managed to produce thus far, and on a range of topics, I'd reckon that she'd get as far as possible into that issue as anyone could...("as far as possible"?-Ed)...yeah, I believe that there's all sorts of delightful 'secrecy clauses' involved with that legislation...(of course there is, 'cos if anything screams 'We Need Secrecy', it's about the structures of and/or peeps involved, etc, with 'Charities'-Ed)...well quite, but we digress...
(*) I put a '*' on that because that is my personal opinion of the perpetrators Graeme Lyall and Matthew Harkin, as defined by their own conduct, but neither has been 'legally' identified as such...if need be, please refer to previous posts in this 'ere blog for more detail about how these 2 perpetrators have been protected and excused, not least of all by James Morrison...
And my first stop with all of this is to direct dear availees to the following articles/posts about Ms Duncan's horrendous treatment by Graeme Lyall, James Morrison, serial Paedophile Protector and apparently a 'lawyer' Bouncin' Billy DeGaris, Tennyson Woods College, SAPol (police), et al...please note in the New Matilda articles that 1) the Catholics/Tennyson Woods College, where the 'Jazz Academy' was originally located, they've done an extensive 'report' about this situation, and 2) where Lyall himself acknowledges that as a result Ms Duncan has received a Compensation Payment...(I love that bit where Lyall actually complains about Ms Duncan still pursuing appropriate action 'even though she's had that money', and in whinging about it, he thusly identifies that that Compensation Payment has happened-Ed)...classic...and it's so fundamentally obvious that I'm going to say it again anyways...
What happened that warrants a 60-page Catholic Report and a Compensation Payment?
So here's those links...
https://newmatilda.com/2017/12/19/jazz-icon-graeme-lyalls-lawyers-threat-nm-with-contempt-proceedings-over-leaked-catholic-report/
https://newmatilda.com/2018/05/03/jazz-icon-showed-lewd-images-students-denies-james-morrison-academy-claims-teaching-role-ever-restricted/
Then there's these two articles...in the first Ms Duncan is referred to as 'Louise', and then later as 'Ms Duncan', not sure why...in the second one, the first paragraph is her...
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/my-university-failed-me-survivors-come-forward-with-stories-of-sexual-assault-20170725-gxhzkx.html
https://theindustryobserver.thebrag.com/me-no-more/
And this, the most poignant article where-in Ms Duncan describes her experience of Lyall and the broader 'Jazz Community'...
https://www.listenlistenlisten.org/music-lessons/
And after that, my second stop in all of this is of course to make it about me...(well, what else is a card-carrying narcissist s'posed to do?-Ed)...exactly!...anyhoos, I am so red-hot on the Morrison stuff...(really? I hadn't noticed-Ed)...anywaaaays, I'm so focused on Morrison because I feel an unrelenting sense of guilt stemming from my knowledge of Ms Duncan's 'experience', dating back to when it happened in 2010, and my subsequent failure to act upon it...as I've posted previously, the statements of outright denial made at the time by Tennyson's Principal David Mezinec and a SAPol representative on ABC South East Radio were proof-positive to me that something had happened...and that belief was cemented by the rancidly abusive 'rumours' about Ms Duncan that rocketted around this charming li'l town within days after that 'report'...
And my guilt is further cemented by this latest 'Rape' by Mathew Harkin, and my belief that maybe just maybe things might have been different if I'd acted earlier and/or more strongly about James Morrison's apparent predilection for protecting 'Rapists'...(maaate, look at everything that Ms Duncan has managed to achieve, by herself, and yet nothing's changed, how can you be responsible for this?-Ed)...well I'm not really, it's largely just me 'Guilt Shifting' that which I feel for failing to identify the abuses committed against our 7-year old kids at St Martins by "text-book grooming paedophile" teacher Glyn Dorling, and then my failure to resolve what is now 18 years of the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...(and again, neither are actually your fault, it's all just yet further examples of the same rancidly Institutionalised Pro-Paedophile Corruption that Ms Duncan was/is subjected to-Ed)...indeed, and perhaps I just find it easier and less confronting to feel 'guilt' for my own failures, rather than try to deal with the far worse reality of that Institutionalised Pro-Paedophile Corruption that runs and defines South Australia...(fair enough-Ed)...
And absolute credit to Ms Duncan that, despite all of the horrendous abuse she's suffered at the hands of Morrison and his rancid cronies she somehow keeps her personal issues relatively 'in-check'...obviously her experiences are a big part of what motivates her...(as are yours-Ed)...exactly, but I don't think, in fact I know that I cannot and have not dealt with the St Martins Cover-up with the same sense of detachment and 'professionalism' that Ms Duncan has achieved...for example, as identified, it's taken over a year of Freedom of Information applications, refusals, and Appeals for her to get those emails, but she done get 'um alright!...I have neither the patience nor the organisational skills to achieve that...(oh I dunno', remember those Summons for info that you managed to get the Court to 'Order' for your 'Trial'?-Ed)...yeah, but that's a bit different, I did successfully argue for those Summons but the Court set strict time-frames for that info to be provided to me...(sure, and remember the hilarious response from the ABC that you were "just fishing for information", and that it was all too complicated and difficult and therefore they came-up with exactly Zero documents?-Ed)...despite claiming to have kept a 'special file' at ABC South East Radio just for li'l ol' moi...yesss, I believe the term they used was "oppressive", the Summons was "oppressive"...(yeah, and then how the ICAC exactly mimicked that response, literally word-for-word, and themselves produced exactly Zero documents?-Ed)...yeahhh, if it weren't so critically important and mind-numbingly corrupt, it'd be Keystone Cops-style hilarious...
Anyhoos, just go to matildaduncan.net, or here's the direct link to Ms Duncan's latest piece, and I encourage y'all to read her other posts about Morrison, and to look at her work about Greyhound Racing, yet further proof of her thoroughness and 'professionalism'...

(I love that bit in the emails where Geoff Brock demands credit, but when asked about his role by Ms Duncan, denies all responsibility-Ed)...and that's what happens when you lie, you contradict ya'self...it took me a while to get through all this stuff, so may I suggest y'all have a go at it as I did, in chunks, a few emails at a time, have a break, another few emails, etc...I also struggled with the continuity stuff where one email gets repeated in others, etc, but stick with, it's well worth the effort...
Tomorrow: SA"s ICAC Corruption, More Troy Bell Than It's Worth
(Strewth, that is an appalling pun, and you've used it how many times already?-Ed)...don't you worry your pretty little face about that, there's plenty more where that came from...(gourd give me strength!-Ed)...your gourd wont help you now buddy...
