Far too much money is getting buried in offshore trusts & other hideaways,  so the wealthy can avoid doing they're share's.

they are bludging off the country & off they're fellow country people.

 

Instead of a broad world class Health Sector across this Nation & it's regions,  & education,  public transport,  etc,  Fast Trains running inter-capitols,  we are trying to take more from the poorer.

 

These people stealing from this nation are a disgrace.

No DL I heard Tony Turnbull just yesterday describing the construction unions as the biggest threat to our economy so nothing to be gained from all this Panama Papers stuff, so what if individuals and companies are avoiding tax on an industrial scale across the Western World, that is nothing compared to what those foul mouthed ruffians at the CFMEU are doing to the construction industry here. I mean we can all see the lack of construction happening in Melbourne and Sydney CBD's  every day, NOT! 

What at is it about our federal politicians, they are always fighting the wrong fight?

I agree Re the wealthy using off-shoreity's  to safeguard their hard earned,  & keep the rif-raf down.   "they worked hard for the money". :wacko:

 

But I did work as a safety rep & shop steward in the 1990's,  & there was some heavy handedness coming into it then  (people).    Other (unskilled) outsiders,  trying to get into well payed jobs.  They will do anything to get into a lucrative longterm position. Unfortunately. 

however on the sites I worked on there was mischief but nothing serious.  some of the others unions did a bit of stalling slow down stuff,  here or there.

But generally the big site ran fairly well,  & only one serious injury where the concrete contractors tried  'a sneaky'  during lunchtime.  a fella got a broken leg.  that's about the worst of it,  over 3 to 4 years.   not too bad for a huge site.

 

But I'm sure it got worse after the early 90's recession.   Just as Australia was growing enormously.  but corruption is EveryWhere...  in unions, in Governments,  Especially in big business over the world,  in the churches, in the Law...

It's everywhere you go, including in the media.  >  http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-24894403

 

So our unions are small fry,  & an easy political target.    Compared to what big business's are doing around the world.

Most women workers & office people would have no idea what it's really like to work onsite in construction... 

It can be a really dangerous game,  & many lives get lost nationally in the course of a year.   Including the general public,   if you happen to live in Qld,  or WA,  (or in melbourne near Lygon st, on one of  g, rollo s ite)  where the laws can be overlooked. 

They  (interstate),  have a tendency to drop loads off Tower Cranes, especially in QLD,  where it seems anything goes.  They typically like to drop Concrete Kibbles from a great height  (around 9 or 10 tonnes)  onto the gantries covering the footpath .  This is the business mans mecca,  where favors can be bought.

 

On the Federation Square site,  the politicians like  'kennet'  kept blaming unions for cost overruns,,   Bull Shitte !!!  it was the way the job was setup contractually that caused the financial banquet that it was.

...  all the geometry,  those angles were essentially  "build it",  then tell us how much it costs us.  $o the sub contractors had a field day,  as well as the deSigners,  as they kept building it,  then pulling it out & changing the design,  while people sat around doing nothing for days.  Then rebuild it again, to the new drawings.  So it seemed like the de$igners were working hand in hand with the builder$, & $ub contractor$,  to $tretch it out.

 

The politicians always like to play divisive politics,  playing their side of politics against the other classes.   & with nil truth.  this happens all the time.

and you know what 'they'  (politicians)  aren't talking about the enemy overseas in a battlefield somewhere...   'they' are hanging shitte on fellow Australian hard workers.

 

------------------

 

I think the right is on the rise since the Asian century has taken effect..... & we had/have the GFC global financial crisis... & still do.  Re the currency rates etc.  the trade deficits & Chinas holding of US debt etc.

 

We are living in a time of great upheaval as they say (the prophets)...  in all sorts of ways.  everything is falling,   'out of balance'... 'out of harmony'...  the environment/climate,,,   the worlds financial situation with the changes of Asian century,,,   the females attack on males, without recognising they're own part they play in all this stuff going wrong,,,   everyone wnats their own point of vioieww to stick & win.

 

......  as the prophets say,  this is the beginning of the end of the male aspect of god,,,  the end of the old era,  & we IMO are in  ('NoTime') or  'the time of troubles',  or  'troubled times',   I think it says in the Bible ?   this is ahead of the 'NewTime',  Age of Aquarius.  the new Age.    or  'the Female aspect of God'

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

No,  Women won't rule the world,  we will all share the world as one....    under a New Spirituality.   a nurturing type culture of sharing,  & no profits,  true equality.

 

The modern Women today think they are the new frontier,  they think they are changing the world,  & that they will take over... but they are Not.   All they are doing is just imitating the men they fear & despise.

 

They are the same as the aggressive men they have operated under for decades.  Exactly the same culture.   Just they are demanding. just the same.

 

 

the only certainty is change.

A few points here.

1) Saying Tony Turnbull is a massive insult to Tony Abbott. Abbott repealed the carbon tax as promised, got rid of the mining tax as promised, stopped the boats as promised (and we were told couldn't be done), signed free trade agreements with China and Japan. Turnbull has done ummmm

2) It is more concerning that Turnbull was business partners with Wran than Turnbull's name being called out in the Panama papers

3) Avoiding tax legally is not a crime. The CFMEU has been found guilty in a Royal Commission of systemic criminal activities. Both maybe unethical but only one is illegal.

Hate to nitpick W45 but Royal Commissions don't find anyone guilty of anything, they report on their findings and may advise that matters are referred to the courts for judgements.

I am reminded of this by the Costigan Royal Commission into the Painters and Dockers Union which backfired on Fraser and lead to the bottom of the harbour tax rorting by the wealthy and of course the damning allegations against Kerry Packer. That volume of the Costigan report has been buried for decades, it will make interesting reading one day if it is ever released no doubt. 

Upon Packer's death the likes of the abominable Singleton and Shockjock Jones rounded on Costigan for what he did to Saint Kerry and their sincere hope he was burning in hell, being too lazy or stupid to work out if he was dead or not. Costigan's response was to say all he did was receive evidence from other parties, he made no judgement on our Kerry! 

Anyway I digress Wrecker, but I am surprised that a stickler for detail like yourself could get this detail so wrong but then again you have got so much else wrong in your failure to interpret climate data I should not be surprised at all.

Haha I even like this. You got me there.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
