Long Day, Short Post

Hello China, Japan, Thailand and Turkey and welcome to the blog...and cheers for more feedback...and apologies for very late, rather short post...long day that started early and included the charming news that a local man is to be jailed for the Child Abuse/Pornography case from Tarpeena, and his partner is yet to be convicted, a case where SAPol took a full 2 years to look at the computers/laptops to then realise that it was the couples own toddler in the images...

SAPol left that child in that situation for 2 years...and that was followed later by reports that a primary school teacher in Mt Gambier has been convicted of Child Sexual Abuse offenses, sorry, don't have the details to hand but will get and post...then forgot that it was Council meeting, which took up hours I'd set for bloggin'...and 'ere we are, it's 2200 plus some...damn I'm tired...

Correction: Apologies but apparently it is a Criminal Offense to talk about the Banana Lord, in that a conviction results in a Criminal Record...(that could rule you out of politics, put you on 'watch-lists', create problems if you ever try to travel, be used to leverage further charges with greater penalties, eg Defamation stuff that has gaol time attached, etc-Ed)...well yes, all potentially possible, but the real concern is that it's happening at all...(I was sortta' referring to the Crown Solicitor threatening to gaol you for speaking out about the rank corruption of the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up-Ed)...

Indeed, that's where I erred, in that the threat/reference to "Criminal Liability" re alleged 'defamation against the CSO' was a threat of conviction with record and potentially with gaol attached, but with the Banana Lord stuff it's conviction and record and fine...(just fine-Ed)...a $30,000 just fine...(and what ever did happen with those threats from the CSO from 7+ years ago?-Ed)...I believe I told them that they're corrupt bastards who have been entirely complicit in covering-up the abuse of my child and dozens of others, and in that context that they ought to judiciously sod off...(I believe your believin's-Ed)...all this previously posted...

Feedback: I won't put the whole thing up today, but I was sent (a copy of) a hilarious letter, a letter sent to a regular in this 'ere blog, alleged Professor Simon Chapman, he whom slags off anybody whom in anyway criticises Wind Turbines and their health impacts...and I say hilarious because the letter is the work of, as I understand it, an intelligent civilian but one with no formal training, degrees, etc, (at all? sorry, not sure) in the area of Wind Turbines, but by being knowledgeable about the facts re Turbines, and stating those facts clearly and intelligently to Captain Man Chaps...(you don't like Simon very much do you-Ed)...no, never met the man, but I'm very familiar with his work, and he's an absolute tool...(fair enough-Ed)...  

By clearly and precisely stating the truth, El Correspondo served up Capt Simon "I'mon Drugs" ManChaps his own bollocks, on a spinning platter, resplendent in a bed of his own shredded credibility...(I've always enjoyed the edibility of a nice serve of shredded credibility...can do without the Profs bollocks though-Ed)...indeed, we could all do without his particular brand of bollocks...***just in case - that "I'mon Drugs" thingy is just a stupendously purile piece of name-calling,  it is not an accusation***...(yes, good point, a quick but genuine disclaimer may well remove the necessity to have to review and re-post later-Ed)...indeed...     

Clive And Let Clive: because as Politically Incorrect as Clive Palmer was at times last night on the ABC political panel show Q&A, much of what he said was factually correct...the only issue is whether or not he takes the same positions on issues once he's in the Parliament...I also can't say with any certainty whether his criticisms of China were 1) fueled by his current legal action with a Chinese company, 2) Clive trying to distance himself from his own business history, 2a) potentially to create a politically crowd pleasing faux riff with people he still finds fiscally alluring, 3) just Clive doing a Clive, or 4) a combination of all 3...4...

I used to watch Q&A religiously but now find it a trite and annoying pantomime of opposing political ideologies and rehearsed slogans...I do still try to watch it but find myself increasingly just zoning out and   channel-hopping, dozing off even, and thusly I completely missed 'Clive's rant' against the Chinese, but it has been widely reported this morning...and given the way I've unloaded on a coupla' people I'm not really in a position to comment on his "mongrels" statement...

Use Your Words: a bit better Treasurer Joe Hockey, begs his compadre Finance Minister Mattias 'Always Blue' Cormann when he was trotted out yesterday to try and deflect from the fall-out of Smokin' Joe's comments last week about how 'the poor don't have cars'...Mattias kept saying that Mighty Joe 'chose his words poorly'...(and ain't that a very carefully chosen choice of words, albeit an absolute nonsense-Ed)...indeed...

A 'poor choice of words' is to say something stupid and offensive, eg, 'this new Fuel Excise Tax that I'm introducing that I've repeatedly denied is a tax and repeatedly absolutely promised in the 2013 Election campaign that I wouldn't introduce at all, that this new tax won't affect the poor much because even if they do have cars they don't go very far'...(wow, that is a stupid and offensive example, you just think of that?-Ed)...no that's not mine, that's a montaging paraphrase of what Treasurer Joe Hockey has said over the last week...(no?!-Ed)...absolutely, along with the Liberals promises from the 2013 Election of no new taxes, we won't touch pensions, etc, etc......

It's a 'poor choice of words' if you then apologise for the statements and at least attempt to explain yourself a little better...even I apologise if I know I'm wrong and/or cause unintended offense...(as opposed to all of the intended offense?-Ed)...indeed, I have had my moments as I work my way through a series of issues that cause me great distress and concern, eg, the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, but I still apologise when I'm wrong...(and I've always thought that an intelligent person is immediately capable of 1) admitting error and 2) genuine contrition-Ed)...I concur...

I absolutely agree Ed, but in my own defense I would suggest that the vast majority of offense I cause is by speaking truths that some would rather weren't aired at all...(fair enough-Ed)...anyhoos, when held to account for this extraordinary comments re 'the poor don't have cars', Smokin' Joe didn't apologise for his offensive statements and attempt to re-word, he dug in, repeating the comments and dragging out statistics to support them...for several days...that's not 'a poor choice of words', that's a very poor attitude...it was only at the bitter end that he proffered up an apology that went down like the proverbial lead balloon...

Enough for today...

Tomorrow: Tonight's Council Meeting

If I have to go through it, so do you...but it's worth staying to the end because I didn't...sortta...explain it tomorrow...

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

How I Know I Have A Heart, A Brave Heart Even

Hello Aotearoa (New Zealand), Spain, Ukraine, and right here at home in Oz, and zoom in a little closer and it's Mt Gambier...excuse me as I'm still recovering from a fairly average weekend of 'running -into-a-wall'...it's just what happens and that's just the way it is and one gets up again as best one can and away one goes again...(hey, that's what you do-Ed)...yes, thankyou...

There was a long ABC Local Radio interview this morning with a Bravehearts (Child Protection Advocates) representative re Child Protection training for workers, sports volunteers, etc...sorry, but I don't have the energy or temper to go through the whole thing and I'm trying to look at it as an issue better discussed than not, but for me there is always the grinding reality that Mt Gambier ABC are entirely complicit in the St Martins Cover-up and BraveHearts are entirely aware of it, as posted previously, and in that context this entire interview was one long hypocrisy...

Warning- Medical Procedure: and an apology for a sortta' lie about never having any side-effects from Chemotherapy, because ten years ago today I was in the Royal Adelaide Hospital gettin' a hose jabbed into my chest following a series of escalating complications after my first round of Chemo on August 10th 2004...basically, the tumour 'knew' it was under attack and reacted, swelling up and agitating my heart and lungs, causing my left lung to fill with fluid and my legs to swell like tree trunks...and it gets a bit icky from here, so if you're squeamish, look away now...

I was admitted on the 16th August, assessed as being "down to 10% heart capacity" due to the fluid in the pericardial sac (around your heart), and again it was observed to me "How are you walking around still?", and on the 18th underwent a 'drain insertion'...with only a local anaesthetic in the chest, the surgeon pushed a large hollow steel needle between the ribs and into the pericardial sac, and then withdrew it, leaving inserted a thin hose...he then pushed that hose several inches in round to the back of the heart itself, and taped it in place...

So Really Surreal: that this occurred as I and the surgeon watched it on the Ultrasound next to me...when I'd done one the day before they couldn't actually see my heart through all the crap in the sac...(hilarious-Ed)...Dr Ben then proceeded to use a large syringe to suck the bloody gunge outta my chest and squirt it into a bucket, extracting over half a litre there and then, and overnight that drained stayed in and a litre in total was removed...once most of it was manually removed, the heart could pump the rest out and then drain my lungs naturally, and too my legs...give the heart half a chance and it'll get the job done...(sorted-Ed)...

Such Sweet Irony: as Dr Ben explained it to me...the pericardial sac was so chockas with crap, the sac wall was nearly a full inch from the heart rather than millimetres...(never seen one so bad he said-Ed)...which ironically made it a much safer procedure with very little chance of damaging the heart itself...the problem was itself a buffer against further problems...(yep, I reckon that's irony alright-Ed)...I spent that night in the Cardiac Ward and the next afternoon Dr Ben came back, was happy the job was done, and put his hand on my chest and slowly drew out the hose...now that was one weird feeling...

Again I thank all of these people and all those I never met, never will, who's combined efforts saved my life...may I live to be worthy of this great grace and extraordinary good fortune...(well you've still got some livin' to do then yet-Ed)...indeed Ed, indeed...

And if I needed to know what rank corruption looks like, there again today on morning television is New South Wales Labor trough-jockey and professional slug Graeme Richardson...(sorry, trough-jockey?-Ed)...yeah, most NSW politicians are happy to just have a piggy snout in said trough, but our man Richo likes to put a saddle on it and ride it around the room...(giddyup-Ed)...Mr Richardson is widely credited with the Institutionalised Corruption model currently being exposed by the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is ironically currently putting the Castor Oil through the NSW Liberals....

In the last 12 months 8 Liberal members have either gone to the cross benches or resigned completely, including Premier Barry O'Farrell, and now the Newcastle Mayor Jeff McCloy, he whom was apparently dolling out envelopes turgid with undeclared cash to various Liberals, Mr McCloy has also gone...**(before posting I chose to self-censor 2 paragraphs from right about....here....please excuse the resultant jump to...)**

(That SAPol is completely autonomous and entirely without oversight, restriction, or accountability, which is a basic recipe for absolute corruption-Ed)...indeed, in a system where the SA Police Commissioner (not the Courts) hands out omnipotent anonymous Search Warrants to SAPol officers and the only avenue of redress or appeal is the Police Complaints Authority, itself run by police, then the likelihood of corruption is 100%...a completely closed system that has absolute power and zero accountability...(that's some scary shizzle right there-Ed)...

Particularly if one comes to be in direct conflict with them over, say, a grossly mishandled Child Abuse investigation that to the casual observer looks like SAPol is deliberately engaged in the Cover-up of that abuse...(like you for example-Ed)...well I was going to be a bit more 'metaphorical' about it, but yes, like a parent like me who has been fighting against the Lutherans, the Labor government, their man former local MP Rory McEwen, a completely complicit Liberal Party, the Crown Solicitor, various state authorities, and of course SAPol...

And you know, it'd only be a really, really sad thing if I'd had all this conflict in my life purely of my own construct and/or because I was happily insane, but it's not is it?...this has all happened because of these people, these authorities, our politicians, police, and illustrious civic leaders like Mayors Steve Perryman and Peter Gandolfi, because these people have chosen to help the Lutherans cover-up the abuse of a class of 7-year-old children at St Martins in 2002...(that's beyond sad, that's just wrong-Ed)...

(You know, one could argue that you engage with issues like the Rail Lands Retail Agenda to distract yourself away from the St Martins Cover-up for a while-Ed)...I've thought that myself on occasion Ed...why would I fight so hard for a community that attacks and/or shuns me the way Mt Gambier mostly does?...(ahh that one I can answer...you see the corruption of the St Martins Cover-up in the rank corruption being visited on Mt Gambier by it's civic leaders and elected officials and feel driven to address all of it, coupled with/fueled by the sense of Societal Indeptitudeness that you feel for the fiscal support of the Disability Support Pension and Public Housing-Ed)...

Wow, that's a very insightful and detailed summation succinctly stated...(well it's what you told me to say-Ed)...shhhh, no I didn't...(yeah, it's here writ on this paper what you done give me, see?-Ed)...no it isn't, aha, moving on...(and you're fifty bucks shy, there's only $950 'ere-Ed)...I have no idea what you're talking about...(oh yeah, and this letter arrived for you from the NSW ICAC-Ed)...I resign...

Ironic Or Just Plain Nasty: that the Fuel Gouge Excise Tax Levy thingy that Treasurer Joe Hockey has been furiously defending with comments about poor people not having cars and/or not going very far, a Tax that he now openly acknowledges as such having repeatedly furiously denied it was a Tax or even a Levy...(which is a tax really anyway, isn't it?-Ed)...indeed...that he would make these comments on the 60th anniversary of that wonderful organisation Meals On Wheels...

I spent goodly chunks of my childhood at the Unley Meals On Wheels kitchen when it was run by my grandma (for 30+ years)...we used to help sort the orange juices and then get to drink the 'overdue' ones, help do basic food prep, etc, and occasionally go on deliveries...a volunteer army of generally 'older people' using their own petrol Joe, looking after their fellow citizens Joe, and often people younger than those doing the cooking and driving and delivering...it only recently occurred to me that the crafty ol' girl was getting us to sort the juices, etc, for her with promises of scoffing that which couldn't be given to clients anyway...(clever-Ed)...

My Reputation Proceeds: invariably and unfortunately it is in this context none of it good, in that I am deeply saddened to be the notorious Nick Fletcher when it scuppers my attempts to engage with community groups that are apparently happy even keen to get new members and/or volunteers, except when it's that crazy bastard Nick Fletcher...I've had multiple goes at joining Meals On Wheels and several other organisations in Mt Gambier but can't even get a call-back...

And I know and live with the daily reality that there's a whole raft of people in Mt Gambier who continue to denigrate and vilify me (and other parents specific to the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up) and that's just the way it is...and why I so appreciate the support I do get, cheers...

Tomorrow: Someone Releases A New Plan- Yay

If it hasn't happened yet I'm sure it will by this time tomorrow...

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

ASOWSVI Part III - Banana Dramas

Hello and welcome to the blog Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, and the USofA...and another attempt by me to actually finish the stuff about the ludicrous 'new' Tourism work group thingy, and other bizzo  ***(please excuse no post yesterday, but I won't actually apologise for a 'hit the wall' kind of day, sleeping probably 18hrs, albeit mostly on the couch...had nothing to contribute to the world other than an angry post that would have only needed re-writing...hence some of this post is heavily expurgated bits from yesterday)***...

Joe Goes to Booboo Town: as our illustrious Treasurer Joe Hockey suddenly decides after days of furiously defending his 'the poor don't have cars' comments, well now he's decided to apologise for his 'poor choice of language', or as it's being reported 'his gaffe'...and we go now live to Bridget and the new TMGI Believometer 3000...hello there Bridget...(yes hi Nick-B)...and how did you go with Joe Hockey's numbers and the Believometer?...

(As expected Nick, when we fed Joe's data into the Believometer it whistled, shook violently for several seconds, then jets of steam shot out in a coupla' places-B)...I didn't realise it ran on steam Bridg...(it doesn't Nick...but we then added Joe's statements about how us poor people don't need to fear that he's out to get us with his Budget-B)...oh yes, and how did that go?...(well at first we couldn't even get the Believometer to accept the data-B)...ahaa, well it's not stupid Bridg...(indeed, so we threatened to pull the plug on it completely, and then scrap it and turn it into dog food cans, and it agreed to co-operate-B)...terrific, and the result?...

(It appeared to gag, then bounced off it's mountings and across the room-B)...very animated Bridg...(yeah, then some more violent shaking, and finally some rivets flew off, it dumped all it's lubricants on the floor, rattled, wheezed, and fell over...I think we've killed it Nick-B)...mmm, some insightful commentary there from the Believometer...thanks Bridg...(nah, it's rooted Nick, back to you in the studio-B)...mmm, yes...certainly food for thought...and coming up, the man who did a quirky thing and put it on the Interwebtube and some people looked at it...

And then last evening I saw Joe make a point of getting into the driver's seat of his government car/his own car/whatevs, clearly in response to all the angry idiots who lambasted him for his bludgeoning hypocrisy about the poor not gettin' very far if they even own a car (seen several versions of this happening but may be one incident from different angles)...he ought to be made to come live without a car in Mt Gambier, Sow Straya's largest Regional city, and see how far he gets...(and make it 'round Christmas/New Years or Easter when there's no bus running on the public holidays-Ed)...ooo you're wicked you are...
  
The Rage Of Entitlement: is what's good for the goose being meted out to the shreckin' gander...(and 'ave a gander at this prick's front-Ed)...steady big fella', but I empathise with your frustration and annoyance that Treasurer Joe Hockey would behave in the way that he does, he who has been constantly spewing his Class-structured bastardry into the public forum with the mantra "the Age of Entitlement is over" ...(unless you're a shreckin' multi-millionaire who still claims public money via "Travel Entitlements" even though you stay at your own home in Canberra only kilometres from your workplace-Ed)...indeed...

Mr Hockey stays at his (his wife's?) $1.3million house when he's in Canberra but continues to claim his parliamentary Travel/Accommodation Entitlements, eg, using chauffeur driven government cars, taxis, hire cars and his own car to a total of approx $200,000 over the last 4 years...(can we please move on because I'm about to get way sweary-Ed)...absolutely, but not before I make the hilarious observation that by his own definition Smokin' Joe is a poor man because he doesn't drive very far to get from work to home...(there's nuthin' funny about any of that-Ed)...fair enough, sorry... 

We're Alive: indeed we exist...(no really?-Ed)...yes it's true, ABC News24 channel now includes Adelaide on it's ad...hallelujah...(yeah but in the Eastern states they'll still be saying 'where?'-Ed)...and if they do know, it'll be to laugh nervously at us because they'll probably be seeing yet another Child Abuse Cover-up and/or bizarre mass murder story from funny ol' SA...

(And why wouldn't they think that of SA full stop?-Ed)...indeed I think they already do...I've already posted about the proliferation of paedophile/murder jokes that accompany any mention of SA on any alleged comedy/panel show from the Eastern states...(exactly, and it doesn't help that the last few weeks, months even, have been a daily headline about the Rape of toddlers in State Care, the disappearance and/or denials of the Labor Party Ministers who are wholly, entirely responsible for the Institutionalised Paedophile Corruption in South Australia-Ed)...

Today's Headline: ain't gunna' help because it's that a senior SAPol officer has been charged (arrested?) with 'Under-age Sex', which is a politer way of saying that he committed Statutory Rape against a young teenager...(good thing that Premier Jay Weatherill didn't choose a senior paedophile cop to be the head of the Education Dept-Ed)...oh you mean......(Tony-TH)...Tony...(nnnHarrison-TH)...Tony Harrison there...(indeed I do-Ed)...I'll cover this tomorrow...

In closing...(already?-Ed)...I'd just like to update the Banana Lord stuff...(so we're actually a long way from finished-Ed)...no no, I'll be brief...I've nothing to add other than more confusion...please refer previous posts re the SAPol 'Raid' of my home on 7th/8th May 2014, where 2 Anti-Corruption detectives (from Adelaide) "seized" my laptop as "evidence" for "the DPP" and repeatedly told me that I should "expect to be charged" although they couldn't tell me exactly what with...(something about the posts re the Banana Lord on this 'ere blog-Ed)...indeed...and/or whether or not I can discuss it, etc...

So, they knew who it was writing the blog and where to find me because I put my name to every post, came to my home, took my laptop, and then left...but then I have had to go after these people, Banana Lord and SAPol alike to ask when and/or if I'm going to be charged, etc...and the response from the Banana Lord is that I can phone a friend, family, lawyer, and/or doctor, but I still don't know what it is exactly I've done and nor has the Banana Lord even acknowledged the repeated requests for an explanation/definitions of their own legislation...

Nor has the Banana Lord answered the questions re placing of this matter on the Public Record by Mt Gambier City Council back at their May 2014 meeting, and whether or not that means I can talk about it now, or, even if I'm never charged, does that mean that I'll still never be able to talk about it...(so ludicrous...it's on the public Record but you whom actually created the whole situation and is yet still 'facing charges' cannot talk about it-Ed)...probably not, but I don't even know that for sure, I'm basically just following legal advice to err on the side of caution...(fair enough-Ed)...

You'll excuse me if I feel like this whole Banana Lord legislation is about metaphorically beating Dissenters and Questioners with a big albeit undefined stick, with the threat of further beatings even if you don't get charged, eg, I could be continually raided and there's nothing I can do about it and I've had the hanging over me for 3 months already, and for how long to come?...the SAPol Commissioner gives his officers 6 month long open-ended, go anywhere, do whatevs Search Warrants and if you want to complain you can go to the Police Complaints Authority, as run by police...totally unaccountable total power guarantees total corruption...

As I am apparently allowed to specifically discuss the 'Raidy' thing and associated SAPol stuff, and because after 12 years of being subjected to a bizarre pitched battle with SAPol over their gross and apparently quite deliberate failures to conduct any sort of official investigation of the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up and teacher Glyn Dorling, you'll also appreciate that I'm more than a little concerned to be anywhere near any SAPol officer...

In My Defense: this conflict with SAPol has not stopped me from behaving respectfully in the appropriate situations, eg, the time I went into Mt Gambier SAPol Station and politely insisted they interview me re the violent assault committed by my then neighbour against his small children...or the time I 'Citizen Arrested' that drunk-driver near Kingston, and the young cop shook my hand and said 'we need more people like you', etc...I'm a million miles from perfect, but I try...

So, just to get it on the record exactly what's happening at the moment, I'd like to quote the response that I received from SAPol earlier this month:
      "Re:   Nick Fletcher - alleged breach of (*section of Act*)

     
       I confirm receipt of correspondence dated 22 July 2014 relating to the laying of charges and the
       possible return of laptop property.
    
       The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) Detective Brevet Sergeant (*name removed*) is the chief
        investigating officer regarding this investigation.

       I can confirm that Mr Fletcher was reported on 8 May 2014 in breach of (*section of Act*), the
       corresponding police apprehension report (*report number*) is presently before Limestone Coast
       Criminal Justice Unit for adjudication. The seizure and retention of Mr Fletcher's laptop is
       required as original evidence.

       Your contact person for this matter is Detective Brevet Sergeant ******* on telephone ******,
       she will be available for contact after *******.

       Kind regards, ******** Acting Detective Senior Sergeant, Anti-Corruption Branch"

Now whilst that's the legislation, the Act, that was mentioned to me in May, that's the first I've heard anything about being 'reported'...(what about "the corresponding apprehension report (*****)" thingy?-Ed)...no idea, nothing was said to me...(what does your 'report' say? what's the number on that?-Ed)...I don't have any report, certainly no 'apprehension report', no reference number for any 'report', not nuthin'...all I got is the receipt for my laptop and that says nuthin' about no 'report'...

(And what exactly is an "apprehension report" anyway?-Ed)...no idea...(and who are the Limestone Coast Criminal Justice Unit?-Ed)...no idea...(and why are they looking at it if Det Br Sgt ***** is the "chief investigating officer" and "your contact person"?-Ed)...nup, no idea...(and why are the LC Criminal JU lookin' at it if it's only a Civil matter, there is no Criminal liability?-Ed)...nuthin', sorry...(and what the shreck does "for adjudication" mean?-Ed)...no idea mate...they're all great questions Ed, but I got nuthin'...

All I know is that SAPol came to my home because they new it was me, my blog, etc, and then they just left and I didn't have nuthin', no report number, not nuthin', and I still ain't got nuthin' even though I have had to write to them via a lawyer to try and find out this stuff, and then all this stuff just confuses rather than clarifies...I'll try to find out and post...enough for today...

Tomorrow: The Tourism Tragedy That Is Mt Gambier

I know nuthin' about Tourism but I know plenty about some of these clowns on the new self-appointed Taskforce, Working Force, Tupperware Party, whatevs the shreck it is...(it's bollocks, that's what it is-Ed)...damn straight...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers for the feedback and more TMGI laters...

Believe Me, Don't Take My Word For It

Howdy y'all and welcome to the blog...very short post mostly about the blog...and to my own credit, I think, I've managed to par back pretty much all of the more abusive stuff off the blog...(ironically, getting to be not doing it's been largely done by doing it off the blog-Ed)...good call, but I best explain...I watch footy on the telly and swear like a sweary bear and get it all 'out there' instead of stuck in here and I do it because it works...furthermore...

Many people have stated unto me, some repeatedly, their concerns that my phones, Interweb, and even my home and/or car would be/are being monitored, recorded, tampered with, bugged, whatevs, either directly by SAPol and/or other state government authorities, either officially or otherwise, or otherwise 'contaminated', and in that context I regularly talk to 'them what is listenin' in' and occasionally drop in an occasional prepared falsehood that could only be known via such monitoring...(ah clever, so if that stuff comes up somewhere you'll know how-ish-Ed)...exactly...

Actually that's not true, well not strictly true...I mean, surely no-one would believe that I'm capable of and/or intelligent enough to be keeping a detailed log of where, when, and via what medium I set the sails on a specific load of shite and pointed it in the direction of the horizon...(sorry, I'm very confused...are you saying that you do or don't deliberately create false trails for those you believe are monitoring your communicationings, etc, in order to trap them into revealing themselves?-Ed)...no-ish...it's more of an example of how manipulative mere words can be...(I'm very confused-Ed)...

I did the same thing back when I faux-outed that gutless tool that left 'Comments' under the pseudonym 'Dick Stretcher'...it's about how just talking about something can create a potential reality...have I deliberately set fact-traps for others to trip?...(I don't know, have you?-Ed)...um, I'm not sure myself anymore...what was the question? nah nah gor' bless gor' bless...but I am trying to make a point...it is very easy to create very realistic falsehoods and I try very hard to not do that, even accidentally...

And I definitely do not make shizzle up...might get things wrong, miss things, etc, but I don't make stuff up...don't need to...the realities I co-exist with everyday require no embellishment nor exaggeration...it is what it is and it nuthin' but a Thang...(well, for what it's worth, I think you've proven quite thoroughly issues like the St Martins Cover-up, the Rail Lands Retail Agenda and associated Mt Gambier City Council shenanigans, and the problems with Wind Turbines, particularly the Fascism of the legislation...and a bunch of other stuff-Ed)...ta...

I'm doing this because as far as I'm concerned it needs to be done and if I prayed I'd pray for the day that I got up and it wasn't there to be done...the ultimate point is that I'm givin' it a bit of a go but I'm just me, it's only me...however, whilst there's always the chance of mistakes, omissions, etc, I try very, very hard and take this blog very, very seriously...are we all on the same page?...(sorted-Ed)...moving on...(not just yet-Ed)...

(I'd like to just make the point that you've been dealing with a raft of crushing personal issues that have fallen as were blows, and suffered the outrageous arrows of public opinion deliberately fueled against you by people like Rory McEwen who are specifically motivated by and complicit in the St Martins Cover-up...and that you have paid for it physically and mentally...and so have your family suffered, particularly your child who had their real father taken away from them by anger, stress, and mental illness-Ed)...cheers Ed...

Feedback: I greatly appreciate the support I get re the blog, people sending and/or telling me stuff, etc...nearly as much as I appreciate the derision that confirms for me that what I do in writing this is right-ish, and that ironically originally drove me to this blog...what I don't appreciate is the prime motivation behind denigrating me (and other parents involved), namely the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...anyhoos...   

Just Laughable:...(damn, I know I did, in that I laughed so hard I coughed up a testicle...I 'laughed a ball', yeah?-Ed)...oh charming...anyhoos, when Grant King went on the ABC Radio this morning and stated straight off 'that it's really important to remember that the state government created the Health Advisory Council'...(it's hilarious because you've been bangin' on relentlessly about how 1) this specific 'Labor controls it'  issue is carefully avoided in ABC interviews, and 2) it's critical because it's control that compromises everything that is said-Ed)...indeed...(it's almost like they're reading the blog and trying albeit unsuccessfully to counter the points you raise-Ed)...almost...

But apparently I do owe Mr King an apology...(oh do tell-Ed)...because as part of that interview he stated that the HACS Board are volunteers, so's I must acknowledge his apparently altruistic contribution to the HACs...(are you sure that's what he said?-Ed)...yep...(absolutely sure?-Ed)...well he did seem to infer others as in not him...as Presiding Member does that make him technically not part of the Board?...(dunno, doesn't matter anyway, his connections with the Labor Party are hardly reliant on him getting anything for this one position-Ed)...very good point...

And another vacuous speech today from Premier Jay Weatherill about yet another plan, about 'quiet confidence' that Adelaide will have it's place in the world...strewth Ruth...('quiet confidence'...is that just a cheap manipulation to quash opposition or dissent by making it unfashionable to criticise or complain as we all sit back smugly and ignore the walls closing in because we're Adelaide and we know better than all the Economic Data, etc?-Ed)...yes, I believe that's exactly what it means...

Tomorrow: The SOWSVI Stuff

And maybe Banana Lord stuff as well...

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

ASOWSVI Part II - Here In My Car

I feel safest of all, I can lock all my doors, it's the only way to live in Cars dnndn dnn dn dnndn...hello Brazil, Venezuela, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and welcome to the blog...straight into it...and an early post script apology because I've added an article/letter from Adelaide paper The Advertiser, so there's gunna' be a Part III as far as I can see...

A Thought: why is a lift still called a lift when it lowers?...

Poor Joe: Hockey's getting pilloried and pummelled from pillar to post for his extraordinary comments about how his new Fuel Tax impacts on Strayans...(is that the Tax the Liberals absolutely promised at the September 2013 Election absolutely wouldn't happen?-Ed)...well one of them....there is of course the GP Co-payment, that's a tax being called anything but...(BUDGET CRISIS-Ed)...what the? why yell at me?...(sorry, I thought that's what you're supposed do when someone questions the Class Structured Bastardry of the Federal Budget, squeal/screech/scream about a 'Budget Crisis'-Ed)...fair enough.

Joe's about the only person in Straya who doesn't take issue with his comments that the Fuel Tax won't impact on poor people so much because they don't have cars or if they do, they don't go very far...(I've been listening to that quote all day but it doesn't get any less hilarious, or believable-Ed)...right on brother...it's almost like he doesn't actually know what a poor person is, they're (we're) like some strange novelty that's happening over there somewhere to somebody else...(let me try and help champ-Ed)...no no I got this...

Poor people, Joe, they're the ones standing in the pissing rain waiting for a bus while you get driven past in your chauffeur driven taxpayer funded vehicle...(smug prick-Ed)...hey!...(not you you idiot, Smokin' Joe-Ed)...oh, right...(unless they of course live in Regional Australia then 1) there's not likely to be any buses, and 2) even less likelihood that Joe will be driving by-Ed)...indeed...and he doesn't seem to understand that poor people have to consider the cost of petrol as consuming a major part of their income and they cannot afford to use fuel wantonly or frivolously...

They/we don't go very far because fuel costs a small fortune, and that's on top of insurance, registration, maintenance, etc...cars are very expensive things to own, even a cheap one...but not to be deterred by the widespread criticism of his extraordinary comments, Joe just ploughed on ahead...(well he didn't personally plough, he was chauffeured through a field of ripe plebeians in a specially constructed dual-cab tractor with polished walnut ashtrays-Ed)...well indeed, one doesn't soil ones own hands nor does one want to insult a $100 stogie with a cheap ashtray...(well quite-Ed)...

Anyhoos, onward he ploughed with the justification that "the statistics" support what he's sayin' in that the relatively wealthy spend more on petrol than "poor people", continuing on to explain that the wealthy usually have more than one car therefore their burden is even greater...(because they drive their several cars more often and/or further than el plebos-Ed)...apparently...and thankfully it was put to him, repeatedly, that there are many people in the Western Suburbs of Eastern state's capitals, etc, who rely on their cars to get to their minimum wage jobs many miles away...(in Morning Town?-Ed)...orrr a Seekers reference, how quaint...

But then just when you thought Mighty Joe was on the ropes, that he was flagging, lost for inspiration, he really excelled by pulling out the further justification that this Fuel Tax will be used to pay to improve roads in those areas, therefore the Tax was actually helping those people...(oh bravo, well played sir...take a trite nonsense and turn it into government policy, that's just like so Liberals, yeah?..'we're gunna' fix the roads that you'll no longer be able to afford to drive on'...get that down ya'...beep beep here I come in my BMW limo on this lovely empty road-Ed)...

Well yes, and I forgot to mention Toll Roads, which I see in Sow Straya is an issue that has turned from a Freedom of Information request made by the Family First Party, approved by the Ombudsman, and now to be challenged by the Labor government via the Courts...(what do Labor have to hide via the Courts?-Ed)...what don't Labor have to hide via the Courts?...(most excellent question sir-Ed)...but don't confuse me, I'm trying to explain poor people to Smokin' Joe...

(Please, allow me to clarify it for Mr Hockey...Poor People, Joe, are the ones who pay your shreckin' wages you sanctimonious bastard-Ed)...whoa, whoa, whoa...Ed, what's goin' on mate?...I've never heard you use such language...(I don't know, maybe it is me, but there's something just a tad annoying about someone who's pullin' down approx $230,000 and doesn't pay for most if not all his own petrol, stating that it's all fine because poor people can't afford to put petrol in the cars they can't afford to own-Ed)...well, when you put it like that...(I just did-Ed)...I know, I'm agreeing...(moving on-Ed)...

Please find attached the letter (The Border Watch Tuesday 12th August 2014) from Mt Gambier Tourism Industry Working Party Chairman Steve Perryman, who self-identifies "as operator of the Quality Inn Presidential" which is why as Mayor he's constantly mumbling his way out of Council meetings with a cavalcade of Conflicts Of Interests...I don't know what else to say about Rory McEwen, but I'll think of something by,

Tomorrow: ASOWSVI Part III - Banana Dramas

(Nice-Ed)...thanks...sorry to push this Tourism Taskforce bullshit and Banana Lord Update stuff but first we have to deal with this little effort (attached below from The Advertiser today Thursday 14th August 2014) by my mate, lawyer Peter Humphries...

As I have previously posted, Peter Humphries played an intimate role in betraying me and other parents re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, colluding with local lawyer Bill DeGaris to steer us into the further betrayals of lawyer Tim Bourne, close personal associate and 'free' legal advisor to then Attorney General Michael Atkinson, Minister Jennifer Rankines husband and currently Speaker of the Lower House...Mr Bourne who was appointed to the Parole Board by the Attorney Generals' office...all one big happy family...

Apologies that that last paragraph got chopped, so;
   "...eliminate the remote possibility of a future oversight. That, when a complaint is made, appropriate
    action is taken and processes are followed, that parents, often frightened and vulnerable themselves,
    are treated with dignity and respect and offered the support they need and deserve."
    
Every word a seething hypocrisy pissed onto the page in scintillating self-definition from the man whom sold us right down the river, every word flying in the face of his very actions...every word that would describe him and his behaviours ...

You, Peter Humphries, are personally responsible for one of the saddest and disturbing chapters in our state's history, the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...indeed, my experience of your experience in dealing with sex abuse cases is you help cover them up...you used our pain and confusion and vulnerability to manipulate and betray us...and I shreckin' dare you champ, drag me into a Court and let's get this on the public record, not just widely read courtesy of this 'ere blog...

Peter, you have seen first hand the pain parents suffer because you have caused it...

A Suite Of What Suits Vested Interests

Hello Poland, China, Thailand, and Portugal, and welcome to the blog...and an exciting new concept for the blog, I'm going to critique Public Officials, Policy, Planning, etc...(orrr no fair, I got really excited then at the prospect of something new-Ed)...sorry, and believe me, I wish that I had something new to offer but Mt Gambier City Council just keeps serving up the same ol' same ol'...

(Ah no wait, sorry, I've just read the first draft of this post and now I know what you're on about-Ed)...but I don't do a draft, I just make it up as I go along, change it a bit, leave it 'til the evening, change it a bit more, etc...(you just make it up?-Ed)...well not as in the 'as actually factually accurate as possible' subject matter, but each post basically goes where it does and I try and herd it in the general direction of where I want it to go...bit like herding cats sometimes I can tell you...

(So this 'magic' just happens, yeah?...make it up as you go along, yeah?...sure you do...next thing you'll be saying again that I'm not an actual person, that I'm merely a linguistic/literary device you utilise to try to make the blog a little less 'preachy and lectury', a little less oppressive and bludgeoning, and be a bit more 'conversational' with at least attempted humour......hello?...hello!-Ed)...

Bye Bye Election: coming up in New South Wales as the ruling Liberal Party waves adios to 2 more members to Forced Resignations following revelations in the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption that they had accepted and obviously not declared cash 'donations' (one of them from Developer and currently Newcastle Mayor Jeff McCloy-Ed)...indeed, and in the context where seeking/accepting said donations is illegal in and of itself, let alone the stuff about not declaring receiving cash, etc, eg, the tax implications of undeclared income...(will they have their assets seized? oh, and what about lying to the ICAC earlier in the week?-Ed)...

Firstly, I'd doubt it, but I understand what you're saying in so much as someone on charge for an as yet unproven offense of say drug trafficking can have all their assets seized until they prove how they payed for it all...(like disgraced, multiply-declared 'Corrupt' by the NSW ICAC, Mr Eddie Obeid, or his Australian Water Holdings mate Liberal Senator Arthur Sinodinos?-Ed)...exactly, there's 2 gentlemen who should have all their assets seized until it's proven that they're not ill gotten gains...(and what about these 2 Libs who just admitted accepting $10,000+ cash 'donations'? what else have they 'accepted'? why should they not have to explain every bloody cent?-Ed)...all excellent questions Ed...

That's now 7, maybe 8 Libs, including Premier Barry O'Farrell, who have copped it right in the 'nads from the ICAC their Liberal predecessors established...these 2 resignations demand local by-elections be held, only 7 months out from a state Election, and it's predicted that the Libs could be in for a thorough pantsing in these 2 seats...(and there's still a bunch of Labor Party shizzle searching for a fan in the ICAC-Ed)...

A Rude Joke: approaching, you have been warned...because I wretched my knee again getting into the car coupla' days ago and said to myself, 'I have a dicky knee', to which Ed said...(that's ironic, because I have a needy dick, aha aha ahaaaa-Ed)...indeed...to which I said, 'sure you don't spell needy with a silent k?' aha aha ahaaa...to which Ed said...(hey, is that some sortta' smart mouthin' masturbation joke?-Ed)...to which I said, 'what if it is?'...to which Ed said...(come over 'ere an' say that-Ed)...etc, etc, moving on...

War On Drugs: is two answers to two questions, namely 1) to where does our charming PM Tony Abbott appear determined to drag us?...and 2) what must he be to behave the way he does...(nice-Ed)...and re the downing of Malaysian Airlines MH17, he's back to his mono-tonal, repetitive best railing against the criminality of Russia and/or President Vladimir Putin and/or Ukrainian 'Separatists', et al, and dumping Trade Restrictions on them...

And it continues to be reported/stated as fact MH17 was shot down by a missile fired by 'Separatists' as backed by Russia and I really wouldn't know who to believe but I know I cannot believe Tony Abbott...(well at least you know who not to trust...that's gotta' be sumthin'?-Ed)...well it is, I just don't know what...the Mad Monk was way keen to get armed Aussies into the middle of the Ukrainian conflict, and is now saying Never Say No to sending troops into Iraq, again...(what? even the USofA is sayin' hey no way to ground troops-Ed)...

(Good News Though: that PM Abbott has announced a new focus on Aboriginal health issues-Ed)...ah, I don't think he has...(no, I just heard him, and I quote, "we must do what we can to prevent potential genocide"-Ed)...ah, yes, I can see how you might think that, what with the ongoing unaddressed epidemic of treatable conditions plaguing Aboriginal communities, Alcoholism and associated violence/illness, and the 20+ year gap in adult life expectancy, 30% of Aboriginal kids in state care, etc, etc...

And the term 'genocide' is one I've heard frequently used by those advocating for what are fundamental health services to address basic but debilitating diseases, eg, ear infections that lead to deafness and associated lifelong difficulties and disadvantage...but no, Tony's referring to the refugees stranded in North-West Iraq, apparently under threat from ISIS...(why is he so focussed on what's happening on some mountainside on the other side of the planet, but appears completely disinterested in what's happening to his own citizens, Aboriginal people?-Ed)...another great question Ed...

I Absolutely Agree: with serial Rhetoricalisor, Labor Treasurer Tom Koutsontonis when he says that Liberal leader Stephen Marshall criticising South Australia's definably disastrous Economy is, "the result of self-interest", only we differ in that I don't think it's really self-interest to criticise the damage that Labor's self-interest has caused...(good call dude-Ed)...it's largely Labor's self-profiting corruption and rank economic incompetence that has caused this disaster...and Tommy K can laugh in the face of all the figures, dismissing them as wrong, and he does, but the figures are laughing last Tom lad, and so is SA...last that is...

Last on every single economic indicator bar a few, SA is collectively the bottom rung economy in Australia, even behind Tasmania...but not according to Mr Koutsontonis and Premier Weatherill, et al...whatta' joke...

Peter Humphries Alert: as it is revealed a mother raised concerns with Families SA 2 years ago about the possible sexual abuse of her 18 month old daughter, only to be told by Families SA that she was "a paranoid mother"...and now her daughter is acknowledged as being one of the 7 identified victims of the Families SA Carer...and good ol' Minister Jennifer Rankine refuses to comment because she doesn't want to compromise the Court proceedings and then deferred to this week's latest Royal Commission...what a sad, sick joke is the South Australian Labor party...rank incompetents and serial Paedophile Protectors...

And regular blog availees will already be aware of my dealings with and resultant concerns about lawyer Peter Humphries and the pivotal role that he played in betraying myself and other parents re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...so when I hear him speaking on behalf of that mother I immediately have the previously defined concerns that he's there yet again performing the role of smiling serpent, professing support and sympathy but really collecting sensitive information and providing loaded pro-paedophile advice...  

Why I Love Smokin':...(sorry?-Ed)...Joe Hockey, our illustrious Federal Treasurer Smokin' Joe Hockey...I love him because every day he lifts me up and makes me feel good about myself by being such an absolute arsehole...(hoho, so much for a new blog all about decorum and shizzle-Ed)...forget that...today Joe stated that his 'ít's not a tax, it's a fuel levy'...(that in one interview became the 'you can call it a rabbit if you want to' fuel levy-Ed)...indeed, the smug prick, well today Joe has delightfully observed 'that it'll be the upper and middle classes who will get slugged the most, because the poor don't have cars and if they do they don't go very far'...

(Orr no fair, you really had me going there, thinking Joe had come up with some new doozy, but you could at least have kept it realistic-Ed)...not a word of a lie...(deadset?-Ed)...deadset...(we don't go very far in our cars we don't have, yeah?-Ed)...honest, that's what he said...good ol' Smokin' Joe and his stogie-gobbing compadre Mathias 'Always Blue' Cormann...('Always Blue'? does he suffer a depressive condition like you do?-Ed)...ahh no no, not that I'm aware of...he's a Liberal whom like most Conservatives always wears a blue tie...(yes but oh no, I get it...that's a shocker...'my tie is always blue'...atrocious-Ed)...

Please find attached the letter from Mt Gambier Mayor Steve Perryman and the, wait for it...(I'm not sure I can, I'm so excited yeeeeeee-Ed)...the new Mt Gambier Tourism Industry Working Party...(woohoo...what's that then?-Ed)...that's bullshit, that's what that is...and Steve is the Chairperson because Steve is all about the people...(what absolute bollocks-Ed)...nobody in Mt Gambier believes that Steve does anything for anyone other than Steve...(and a few things for his mates who have stuff for Steve-Ed)...well quite...and oh my gourd, it's former MP Rory McEwen...

Now I don't know much about some of these people and nuthin' at all 'bout a couple of them, but I do know enough about who I do know to know that this is a farcical joke...Rory McEwen has caused untold devastation to the South-East, the states entire economy, and the supposed Child Protection System with his self-obsessed dysfunction...I re-iterate that Rory is directly responsible for the current Child Rape crises in Families SA because he was aware of this gross dysfunction in 2002, particularly re the St Martins Cover-up case, and yet he made the decisions he did...

(That's right, he repeatedly stated way back in August 2002 that he'd help parents with St Martins and help 'fix the dysfunctional system', etc, and then signed on with the Rann/Weatherill Labor government and immediately started attacking parents as the only problem at St Martins-Ed)...indeed he did Ed, indeed he did...which leads straight back around to Steve Perryman...here you have arguably the 2 most complicit persons in Mt Gambier re the St Martins Cover-up...

But I digress and because this has blown out, a Part II,

Tomorrow: More ASOWSVI

And I haven't attached that article, this post's long enough, but will make it part of tomorrow's post...oh, and the latest Banana Lord stuff...apparently I've been 'apprehension reported' or something but not charged, yet, and it's being apparently looked at by the 'Criminal Justice Unit for adjudication'...no idea really what that means either...(ludicrous-Ed)...if it weren't so serious, yes...

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

Some Not So Polite Self-Justification

Hello Switzerland, Iraq, Spain, and Indonesia...welcome y'all to the blog and just a slightly self-indulgent post today for a change...(oh yeah 'cos nuthin' here's ever about you is it?-Ed)...shut it...and it's very late already and so here we go...***(actually revised, completed, posted today Tuesday 12th August...watched the latest ABC TV Catholic Child Abuse expose and it all went to shizzle...and sorry, got really long so this is sortta' 2 posts in 1 for today/yesterday...cheers)***

Today (*yesterday) the fundamentally farcical 'Safer Greener More Active Travel' grants thingy from the state Transport Dept finally close, grants that could perhaps just be directed to providing a Public Transport service (bus) that operates outside of the current 0900-1715hrs and not at all on weekends and public holidays service...(appropriate public bus services for Sow Straya's largest Regional centre?...that's just crazy talk-Ed)...as opposed to everything else I say?...(fair point-Ed)...

And tomorrow (*today) submissions close for the latest farcical South Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission, close after only 7 days...(so shut it down as fast as you can, business as usual, children are vulnerable prey-Ed)...indeed Ed, Premier Weatherill and his phalanx of pro-Paedophile politicians continue to just bluster their way through cover-up after cover-up, knowing full well that there ain't not no-one going to hold them to account for any of it...and forget the forgettin' Liberals relentless dribblings because they ain't gunna' do squat...

Check out this insidiously manipulated, highly corrupt 'draft' at yoursay.sa.gov.au...please note the vague explanation, 'there's been a few concerns about Child Protection'...('a few concerns'? the Child Protection System is in absolute disarray, albeit quite deliberately-Ed)...and that it constantly refers to 'Children in Care' and/or 'at risk of harm'...(well arguably, in a state clearly run directly by paedophiles for paedophiles, every single child is 'at risk of harm' all of the time-Ed)...good point...(but does that mean they're not going to look at schools, etc?-Ed)...doesn't look like it...

Looks like they'll re-separate the Education Dept away from Families SA and then only look at FSA...(looks like they'll do Sweet FA-Ed)...well quite...just another good ol' Official South Australian Paedophile Cover-up Inquiry that is in itself the main Cover-up...what a sad, sick corrupt State we are...
   
And Oh My God: serial business-buster Grant King was just on the ABC Radio this (*yesterday) morning bleating about the Weatherill Labor state government's plan to potentially amalgamate the South East's Health Advisory Councils...(why? I thought he'd retired-Ed)...me too but there you go, he's apparently still Presiding Officer for the HAC...it's all bollocks because Weatherill wants to cut costs to benefit Adelaide and so that means even less for those who have least and that means us 'ere in Pigsknuckle, Arkansas, over the Hills and far, far away...

Oh and he's on again (*was) and it's 'all about partnerships at a local level' apparently...(bollocks, Grant King is an employee of the Labor state government and operates the HAC in line with their directions...'local partnerships', bullshit...the HACs replaced the Local Hospital Board-Ed)...what a succinctly scathing synopsis...

And as I'm quietly confident that former Mt Gambier City Council CEO and current Manager Operations (1.0)...(you love that 1.0 bit don't you-Ed)...Greg Muller will be in no hurry to drag me into a Court...(albeit for telling the truth-Ed)...well indeed.. and risk a whole bunch of very, very hostile witnesses looking to relocate some blades from their own backs...(keen to get their own back-Ed)...indeed, keen to Render Unto Caesar, and we all know what happened to him...

Well, in that same context, I believe that Grant King won't be keen to try and attack me the same way he attacked Robe Council and/or it's specific representatives when they dared to officially ask Mr King to explain whereth and/or to whometh goeth all the dosheth that he was distributing as head of the local Regional Development Australia...(deadset?-Ed)...yep, apparently when they asked, Mr King responded with a 5 year long 'defamation action' that outlasted his tenure at RDA...(and ''whometh"? what's that?-Ed)...ah just talking in Legalish, you wouldn't understand...

(And where was that money going and/or where had it already gone?-Ed)...well that's exactly the question that the Court action was designed to stop being answered, but I believe the issue/question was 'was that money going to Mr King's associates?...(well that's a fair question...it's issues of Probity with Public Funds blah, blah, blah-Ed)...I'd like to see the same questions asked of RDA Tourism Person Biddie (Tietz) Shearing re the $140,000 that she handed to the Barn Palais as one of her first acts as RDA TP...(ooo me too, me too-Ed)...

(And how much did that cost Robe Council?-Ed)...not sure, but a 5 year Court case, albeit withdrawn,  involving banks of lawyers, would have to run into the $100,000s you'd think...(and that's Ratepayers money-Ed)...well I'd reckon that there's probably insurance/indemnity/whatevs because it was the Council...(yes, but even a claim re Insurance would likely see a massive increase in Insurance Premium, that's what Insurance companies do-Ed)...fair point, sorry not sure, I'll try to find out...... 

Some interesting comments yesterday (*Sunday) from SA Aussie Rules 'legend' Graham Cornes, in a discussion re the modern trend of comparing sport to war and calling players 'heroes', etc...Graham quoted Aussie cricketer Keith Miller who was also a fighter pilot in WW II, something along the lines of 'sport ain't pressure, having a Messershmitt up your arse, that's pressure'...(classic-Ed)...

Oh For Fracks Sake: the ahhhhh, yawwwn SELGA Fracking Taskforce has not yet actually started to actually be actualised but SELGA head Richard Vickery met with Minister Koutsontonis to develop ways, via a 'good and constructive discussion' about how the Taskforce will operate...(oh my god, here we go again, the same ol' structures of deceit and diversion...what's the shreckin' point of a Taskforce? what good did the Forestry Roundtable achieve? sweet Forest All, and a SELGA Taskforce will achieve exactly Frack All-Ed)...I like doing stuff about Fracking because I can talk about all the Frackin' stuff, frackin' this, frackin' that...(concentrate, this is Frackin' serious-Ed)...sorry sir...

(Pay attention Fletcher, we've been through this before...the Forestry Roundtable was deliberately instigated to...?-Ed)...um, stifle and undermine opposition to the Forestry Sale sir...(and...?-Ed)...and, um, and set-up a series of vacuous, stop-gap 5 year log-supply guarantees for local businesses sir...(unless...?-Ed)...unless you're on the Forestry Roundtable and then you get 20 years?...(exactly, which then leads to...?-Ed)...your company getting the bulk of the pitiful funding handed out after the Forestry Sale?...(correct, well done-Ed)...  

I Scream About Ice Cream: but not as much as bloody Independent Senator Nick Xenophon who has been on our local screens screeching about local ice cream company Golden North losing their contract with the Adelaide Zoo, who will now use only Streets (?I think) products...and the big issue is that GN have gone to great lengths, apparently, to meet very stringent 'No Palm Oil' requirements as per the Zoo's Ethical Guidelines re Orangutan...(sorry what?-Ed)...well O-Rangas are endangered because they're losing heaps of habitat due to the demand for land for Palm plantations for cheap Palm oil...(orrr, not the Rangas man, I love the Rangas-Ed)...we all do mate, we all do...

Don't have a problem with him supporting GN or any other local company, or getting on the Pro-Ranga train, but it's just all a bit glib for me because it's exactly a year now since I fronted Nick at Whoevs' car dealership down here, just prior to the September 2013 election, and he specifically asked me to back off on the St Martins stuff until after the election...and nuthin'...and I've contacted his office several times since and nuthin'...

How many times have I discussed, have parents discussed St Martins with Nick?...and he helped us into the albeit deeply corrupted SARC Inquiry no.54...and he did go in The Border Watch and on local ABC Radio, but nothing outside Mt Gambier and nothing since (?2007)...you tell me availee, is he the saviour or the betrayer...(or just another politician-Ed)...fair point...

In My Defense: when you hear a local ABC announcer discuss Child Abuse but not mention the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up what does that mean to you? not that much? fair enough...it is constantly with me every moment that I listen to/watch the ABC that all of these people know about the St Martins Cover-up...literally all of them know, and yet they just go about their very important lives and I'm the problem...and damn straight I'm the problem...and if you think that's likely to change anytime soon you've never met a Large Angry Vain Arrogant Man-Bear Stuff-Pig Scorpio Hippy...(such poetry, sob-Ed)...

Every story I hear on the ABC is in a context where I'm banned off talk-back radio, have been threatened with the police just for being at the ABC office, and have the ABC's legal turkeys watching the blog to see if I mention that they are entirely complicit in the St Martins Cover-up, etc, etc...every time they say 'we welcome your calls' who else says to themselves 'unless of course you're Nick Fletcher'?...

In My Defense: when I hear the latest round of trite pro-Council propaganda, or atrocious 'Dorothy-Dixer' interview, or Labor employee presented as objective opinion, eg, Grant King, who was appointed as head of the local Regional Development Australia Board and the Health Advisory Council, at the same time, straight after he destroyed Green Phone with $millions missing...all of this stuff, all of this corruption, to me it's not just annoying or a bit frustrating, it is just a gaping schism revealing the underlying rank, Institutionalised Pro-paedophile Corruption of South Australia  

In My Defense: when in December 2012 Stuart Stansfield ran a long interview with former local MP Rory McEwen who constantly praised the Lutherans, then I'm listening to the man at the heart of the St Martins Cover-up, Rory McEwen, who lied to, manipulated, betrayed, attacked and vilified us parents to knowingly help the Lutherans cover-up the abuse of our children, listening to him praising up the Lutherans, in collusion with his good mate Stuart...Stuart who knows full well exactly what has happened at St Martins and Rory's specific role in it...

In My Defense: I don't need anyone's permission to be well peeved with Stuart Stansfield when I ring up, almost in tears (Dec 2012), and his response is to abuse me and to taunt me, to goad me and to laugh at me, to mock me with "you just don't get it do you Nick?"...I re-iterate that it was that conversation that tipped me over the edge and right into this blog that I started about a month later...and I don't see any cops on my doorstep wanting to word me up for threatening anyone, or creating a disturbance, or whatevs...when they do show up, it's all about Bananas...(bloody Bananas-Ed)...moving on...

Just Paraphrasing: some chatter I've heard about the federal Liberals rapidly unravelling plans to re-legalise bigotry, Racism, etc, by removing Section 18C from the legislation, and out front they got their main man George Brandis...(who looks just like the Professor who works with Beaker in The Muppets, only with eyes-Ed)...good call...who went from this thundering cock-up straight into his hilarious and now Interwebbily popular attempts to explain 'meta-data', and 'ISP addresses' re proposed new 'Data Collection Powers'...

All Hail George: for that he spoketh such dross about bigotry and Racism and so ye' draweth he together all of the peoples of the land in the collective kickingeth of his bollocks...in the media there's been several references to the rallying effect that Mr Brandis' comments have had, drawing together otherwise distant if not actually hostile parties, not least of all the Muslim/Palestinian groups with the Jewish/Israeli sectors of the Australian community...of the Australian community...and how we should send him to Gaza 'cos he'd sort that out quick smart 'cos they'd all be united in Hating on Gorgeous George...

Whilst here's nothing funny about any of that it is a valid point that what he said was so extreme it drew others together in ways that have not been achieved elsewhere...

In closing,  I know that I tend to be a little blinkered and mildly obsessive with the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, and at 12 years and counting that ain't likely to change...and don't care what any of them think because as far as I'm concerned all of these people, Rory McEwen, current Mayor Steve Perryman, et al, and Greg Muller and Grant King included, all of these people are by definition part of the Institutionalised Pro-Paedophile Corruption that defines South Australia...

Tomorrow: Mo' 'Bout Me Mofos

(Now there's a surprise-Ed)...

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