Crimestoppers will be running another "Dob in a Crook" shortly and he is my proposed action ...........

1. Go down to local public phone.
2. Insert correct coins and call Crimestoppers.
3. Ask for a senior person as I have a BIG lead on organized crime.
4. Proceed to explain how they should arrest Anna Bligh and the Labour party for Embezzlement (she is fraudently drawing a salary or appearance money) Fraud (look at the debt we now have where we have to have a fire sale to make it all look good for another year) Dishonesty (getting rid of the fuel subsidy) and the list continues on and on until he hangs up on me.
5. Jump on the bike and ride to another phone box and repeat.

I could make a good ride day out of this, take photo's (I dobbed in Anna at Mt Mee, Yarraman, Esk etc.) and feel better to boot.
The purpose of this rant, where is she going to raise money from if they own nothing ................ only place they can TAXES.
If you don't believe that, look at Electricity after she said selling it off would make it cheaper (35% increase in 1 year).
If this is aloud to continue, How will we be able to Call Queensland the Sunshine State when she turns it back into the DARK AGES.

And before all the Labour suporters start screaming for my blood, yes, there was NO other party to vote for (really) at the last election, but why did we vote her back in. If everyone voted indipendant, imagine the new Cabinet, there would be no party line to tow, and all things would be debated properly and all points of veiw heard. Not the "Oh crap where in a mess now, let's sell our souls to pay the debt" and all labour people say yes so it gets voted through.
If History serves me well, isn't this how Whitlam got the arse, they turned off the money on the big spending. Maybe we should suck in our gut, cut spending but keep the assetts. In latter years we will be able to borrow money as we have assetts to borrow against (once we've gone through and paid back what we owe now), but ya can't boorow money if you own nothing, well that is what the big Banks keep telling me.

That's my $ 7.35 ( plus GST and state taxes)


Please note this is not a political endorsement for any wantabe party or person, just something to make us all think and debate in an open unoppressed forum.

I think Billy Connolly summed it up very nicely when he said "Don't vote, it only encourages the bastards"

Totally agree with you on the whole privatization shambles. It is a classic case of panicking and looking at the short term at the expense of any long term planning. Need I refer to the Goose that layed the golden egg? To have a (supposedly) Labor government do this is very hard to swallow. It yet again illustrates that over the years the left and right wingers have moved towards the centre and there is really bugger all difference between the parties anymore. The only real reason to vote these days is to rotate the idiots so that they don't stay so long they become complacent as well as stupid. Sadly last time even this was not possible as the opposition team effectively did not turn up to the game.

It's depressing really. But just to depress ourselves some more consider this......regardless of who you vote for you are always voting for a politician

AMEN COMRADE


consider the fact that we can actually vote for OUR moron

as much as we are continually dissappointed this is a reasonably free country.

Vote The Cali Gang next election.


It does show how short sighted most politicians are, the current government (and before Captain Bligh took the tiller) has relied solely on the money emanating from the mining sector to run the state, they've overspent (remember the Queensland deficit is not new) counting on the mining money to fund their infrastructure programs.
World economic crisis & suddenly we have no money (it has nothing to do with the fact that Standard & Poor realised this before the crunch & set the states credit rating to AA+), this & the previous government have not been very fiscally responsible, why was funding for schools, health, thick blue line all been mitred back before this current crisis, because they haven't balanced the books at all well. This is not the first time they've sold off assets, they've cut into super funds, etc. all before this crisis, one of the things that they've allotted money for in this budget is the Traverston Dam, why, no body wants it, it's hasn't even been found that it's ecologically sound, there are big questions about a shallow, high surface area dam, so why are we wasting money that we don't have?

The RACQ tendered the largest letter of complaint they have ever seen about the proposed cancellation of the fuel levy & what did the Bligh government do about it? Ignore it & go ahead with there current proposal, sorry if I got this wrong but aren't the pollies employees of the people? This government needs to be reminded of this, & yes I have no doubt that Captain Bligh will get re-elected, it used to be a source of amusement listening to Queenslanders whinge about old Joh then re-elect him every time, the power is yours, they need to be sent a message, the opposition has sat quietly since their original uproar & not said a thing about scrapping the fuel subsidy, Why? Give your local member the message, doesn't matter what side of politics he/she is from, tell them if the subsidy goes then they've lost your vote next time.

I have an ANSWER.
1. March all currents sitting members out for a group photo on the Stairs of Parliament House.
2. Arrange them nicely.
3. Machine gun the Bastards. 2 x M60's should do the trick.
4. Pour the Last of the Subsidized Fuel over them and flick a match.
5. Enjoy the glow.
6. Vote in a new mob of the Bastards.
7. REPEAT Steps 1 to 5.
8. Vote in another lot and I bet they will be too scared too think of themselves and will start to think of the people they represent. Not what they can do to feather their own nests. This lot will do what all politicians should be doing, working for the greater long term good. Not for the now.

When Smiling Peter Beatie unexpectedly shot threw, Anna had to fill a Billion Dollar hole. Has anybody explained that yet. Or did Smiling Pete see the writing on the wall of his fat ego, take his ill gotten gains and run before the house of cards he created fell in a heap. I reckon extradite the bastard from his American hide away for a Please Explain and a Lynching Party. Or do a "Witch Dunking" in the Traverston Dam, crap I forgot, they spent $500 million on that and no water yet, bugger.

Well I suppose we only have ourselves to blame for not demanding a more open Government for the people. Follow my "SURE FIRE FIX" for an open Government.

VIVA THE REVOLUTION. Vote Guzzi

(At least they have the art of going broke perfected, they've been doing it since 1921.)

I have to that Rod Y for that shirt, it was his idea.

For those whom don't know WTF we are talking about, I got a new T-shirt through the AIGOR forum that says 'Hi, I'm a Guzziholic.' on the front & 'Moto Guzzi, Made in Italy, been going out of business since 1921' or something to that effect, I wore it to the last club meeting, you know the one that very few bodies went to because the oranges were in a state, or something like that.
It's quite amusing, so if there is sufficient requests I MAY wear it to the next meeting if I don't wear a Cali Gang shirt.

Got a less drastic idea (saves the bullets and fuel), pretty simple really as Labor love to spend, so how's this ........





Dear Mr. Swan,



Please find below my suggestion for fixing Australia's economy:



Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.



You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:



There are about 2? million people over 50 in the work force. -

Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:



1) They MUST retire. Two million job openings - Unemployment fixed.



2) They MUST buy a new Australian CAR. (Or Moto Guzzi) Two million vehicles ordered - Auto Industry fixed and Moto Guzzi back in the BLACK.



3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage. - Housing Crisis fixed.



4) They must send their kids or grandchildren to school / college /university. - Crime rate fixed



5) Buy average levels of alcohol / tobacco a week. - So there's your money back in duty / tax etc



It can't get any easier than that!



P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament, their accompanying bureaucrats and their no accountability buddy consultants pay back their falsely claimed expenses, allowances and fees.





If you don't like this fix Mr. Rudd, Mrs. Bligh and Mr Swan, my first suggestion is still on the cards.

1st suggestion waste of metal and fuel

Swagzz,
If we pass the hat around, tellin everybody what a good cause it is for, I'm sure the Australian Tax Payer would find enough to spare for 2 belts of 308 ball ammo and 50 lts of premium unleaded.
Gee we ain't that tight with our money are we ....?????

I read an article in Engineers Australia the other day, It said we need more engineers in parliament.

It went on to say you can get all sorts of legal advice, 'cos most of 'em are lawyers, but you can't get a solution to a problem because they've never been trained to solve anything.

Engineers are trained from the start to solve problems, not make existing problems more complex.

Makes sense to me - especially if their first solution was to what 2CH recommended!

Oh No!

I'm guessing you are an engineer ozstrider23?

I learnt early on in all the myers briggs type assessments I have had to do over the years is that you dont put engineers or marketing people in charge of anything!!
example - Campbell Newham and his fetish with tunnels, not to mention his micro management style.
Yes I USED to be in BCC.

The only reason lawyers are a big percentage of pollies is because their personality type is strong in conniving, manipulating the law to get their outcome (it has nothing to do with justice) and controlling people.

Back to wals comment about voting for Joh, the only reason he stayed in power was due to the gerrymander. 30% of the vote controlling the state. Now we just get people with long memories voting for Labour, except for the johnny come latelies who have no idea of what a gerrymander is let alone the important bit - what SOS is all about.


QLD for EVER.

QLD

Doh, do I appear to be a bit one eyed - you bet!

I'm a civil siupervisor with engineers working for me

bastards complicate everything if you let them loose.

All the petitions that the RACQ did (in respect to the fuel subsidy & car rego/ third party hikes), were handed to Capt. Bligh & her band of jack-booted cronies & she evidently said "So what".

The descision was made & she wasn't about to negotiate.

If this was a bloke he would be acclaimed as a "Strong and decisive leader"

But she is a she, therefore she is damned as a "stubborn bitch"

It's done, shit happens, I'm over it.....just

Hahahaha... I never said put 'em in charge! Just that we need more of 'em!

And Campbell Newham used to be an army officer. From all accounts he was a wanker then so nothing has changed.

And as the old saying goes, the only man to enter parliament with the right intention was Guy Fawkes.
