We have enough catastrophes around here to not get distracted by yours

John  So glad we have finally got some alternative to listen to besides our ABC on real news  SKYNEWS

Geoff  Yes the ABC They  worry about everything and know nothing

George Worse,  they spend their weeks doing fact checks on their favorite theories. How can they be telling OUR stories  when they keep reproducing their own ,



Fred  Did you hear the report that 75% of fires are deliberate

 George   No but you can often tell they are , because of where they start  , The ABC  never talk about that on The ABC , Imagine them asking a question they don't already know the answer to.


Geoff   Can't say I listen much anymore to ABC news.
Skynews is a great relief ; They  haven''t got the same resources to be nice,  but at least they don't insult us by implying we are all laggards.
 John Well Richard 111 was nice , subtle sly and bloody ,   But to give him his due ---he really knew things
And he was smart enough to dismiss the sentimental -- as Orwell eventually did too Hurray !
Geoff And ABC thinking our mayors represent wisdom . Dear old Auntie have no idea . The wisdom present in out regional governance agencies is like the cities -a terrible tragedy of ignorance and arrogance.

Retired Conservation officer . Yes none of us would have ever expected the blatant ignorance of regenerative ecology to last so long, let alone become entrenched in the dumbing down of government. Timber is just one resource they have stuffed up. How much did Lisa Neville's use of our $10 go to filling up our reservoirs? How far has our $150 fire levy gone in decreasing damage and discouraging high risk takers?
Wise use of our resources now comes last to appeasing the false guilt of consumers.and covering up the dumb decisions. Instead of wisdom we get waste and the misdirected empty headed arrogance of wannabes
The great jobs your children might have had making sure truly scientific safe sustainable decisions were made each week ( in the sensitive, but resilient world) , are now lost to big nobs playing horrendously expensive games with helicopters.

They all laugh ........ for a moment

Why are we still at war ?

 And even in our own country.  We pray for peace in the Middle East .  Let me first say that as both a very practical geoscientist and student of history and philosophy (because it can direct the former to more productive and rewarding ends) that planning is my first love and i hope to see REGIONAL and all thinking people drive a return to it .    Am I mad ? I will ask the sheep and the cat   and the donkey too might but in ---- I hope .  It's our children's future and despite inheriting the best planning principles from our own history .Australia is now like many parts of Europe......... one of its COT cases . Why ? You would have to ask me lots of questions and TRUST me as an effective change agent. One of our lead authors Tim Winton uses the word wonks . I would agree with all who do their job well and get criticized that screen based ( not paddock based )dilitants pen pushers and endless subdividers of problems are the real problem  ...

Fulla shit

  SAMMYJ ,Isolation is nothing new for those of us who live and work in the country , In recent years we have given up hope of being properly being represented , We don't even write letters to our own papers anymore. http://thiselection.blogspot.com  , We are largely patronised and played with by the media and the other wannabes We want our ABC to be the best, but decades of drivel drive us nuts and we are happy to have SKY News to give us a decent rest from the relentle ss patronising and presumption that is the city  telling us about our environment and what it needs , Many Melbourne 774 radio presenters/producers over the last few decades have just played with us, and it stinks A few of us went to Torquay last election to remind the sea changers that they had over 400 shiny arses in the Shire who wouldn't do a thing to keep some credibility in their West . Epstein refused to consider coming to Corangamite proper to get to know how people really feel about the numbers o...

George   You  would make a good leader . You know stuff and admit what you don't know . You listen . You are rare but good . Why aren't you in politics? Han  thanks mate . What a lot of us mere plebs do not realize is that people who assume Authority over us often don't actually know what to do . They do it for reasons other than real wisdom . .I would be joining them,  but they would soon vote me out again  ref The Boyer lectures on The limits of government by John  Passmore 1978 George b ut you gotta be serious about changing the world ? . Han  Yes true . You have to find a way . however small.... that works . It maybe one step forward and two steps back,    but you have done your bit for your kids ambition and your own  satisfaction. George is that  enough though ?? Han never enoug,    but finding a simple way that works is like  believing the world is still a wonderful place where we can all still work - A few ...
