The author was inspired to write ‘Poor Poppy and the Chocolate Man’ to help bring to the attention of all parents the realization that their children can become victims of a pedophile. At the same time she wishes to give the reader an insight into behind the scenes of the unknowing families, the law enforcement’s detectives’ efforts to help stamp out these ever increasing everyday heinous acts of behavior and the recognition for the introduction of harsher sentences. The author also wishes to state that whilst the Australian Government has apologised to the stolen generation it is her heartfelt wish that through the pages of ‘Poor Poppy and the Chocolate Man’ a sincere apology will reach all of the children who have become victims of a pedophile.

Miners aren’t pulling their weight…. Sunday Herald Sun May 23, 2010
“Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard says the low effective company tax rate proves big mining companies can afford to pay more.”
This remark comes from the same person who is behind the bureaucracy that has been reported as eating one third of school funds.

Has anyone questioned that the real reason for the controversial 40% super tax is to pay for the irresponsible spending of Australia’s wealth by the current Labor government?

God help us should Australia be subject to another 3 years of the current Labor government. However, with the opposition now showing its true colors, among them its inability to lead I, like Milo of Melbourne, continue to curse those that chose to turn their backs on Malcolm.

Federal Budget: What's in it for you?
"By doing it without causing much pain (unless you're a big mining company), they have rolled Abbot and shadow treasurer Joe Hockey up in that rug and consigned them to the opposition benches for another three years." I cannot agree with this statement; if this is a foregone conclusion why waste voter's time with an election?

Catherine Deveny sacked by The Age over Logies Twitter rant

Nixon must go, says ex-chief
It was Sunday morning and all through the night I had been listening to 774 Melbourne. When I awoke, from eventually getting a few hours sleep, I lay in my bed fully aware of my feelings; I felt dead.
I would not be amiss in saying that every Victorian, if not Australian, would have felt that life as we knew it had been violated in a shameful and horrific way. Shameful because of the deliberate lighting of fires by arsonists; horrific because of the great number of lost lives and destruction of communities.
When we are talking of underbellies we at least know who we are dealing with. When we are talking about arsonists should we know and accept we are dealing with terrorists?
When we are talking of sacking Christine Nixon can we please also talk of her great work as recognized by survivors of Black Saturday? “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7
We as citizens of Australia must be bound by our ethics to ask both Federal and State governments, including those in opposition, to seriously look further with regard to the safety of our bush and country communities – not the removal from office of Christine Nixon.

Banks grab fees from low earners - Herald Sun
The following is taken from an article I wrote back in March 2009 and submitted to Herald Sun April 12. 2010.
Sometime back in the late 1990’s the government of the day sought submissions from small business with regard to the banking habits of our major banking institutions. I know because I acted on behalf of a small business.
Unfortunately it was put on hold because of a forthcoming election. It is a pity that the intended investigation into the services and fees of our banking system back then did not go ahead.
The initial introduction of ATM’s and in time access to the internet was to cut down on the banks’ needing extra staff to cater for our monetary needs. My bank like all others lacks the necessary tellers to meet its daily service to its customers yet feels no shame in charging us for using their electronic money making technological devices.
They do not advise you that you do not have the necessary funds to cover an outstanding cheque or monthly PP; instead they take it upon themselves to honor your transaction and then charge like wounded bulls for the privilege.

THE federal government has continued to question the amount of time Tony Abbott devotes to exercise, suggesting the hours he spends swimming, riding and running should go towards developing policy.

Lifestyle-altering strategies more likely to reduce liberty – The Australian January 25, 2010
Higher Taxes - While I would have to agree that encouraging a healthier lifestyle would benefit the individual I cannot agree that bumping up taxes on alcohol and cigarettes, in particular, would increase government coffers. This very action would have to discriminate between the rich and the poor. Less of both products would be sold and in return more violence and crime would be carried out by those unable to afford either alcohol or cigarettes. Furthering the creation of a nanny state can also in my opinion reduce our freedom to that of the Nazi regime. It is time to get sensible answers from sensible people. I rest my case.

Turnbull survives leadership spill vote
Having closely monitored the events of yesterday I am at loss to understand why so many members of the Liberal Party fed Rudd and his government fuel for thought. The school boy bully tactics of Wilson Tuckey left me cold.
When a member of parliament accepts the number one position as leader of a political party it should go without saying that he has the support of all of his colleagues. Yes debate should take place within the four walls of the party room but not continuously chided outside for the press.

Rudd is treating us like mugs

Paul Kelly, Editor-at-large
"THE PM has had a victory with the Oceanic Viking, so he should drop the spin." What victory? It is you who should drop the spin.
While our current Prime Minister continues to run our country from the four corners of the earth his ability to be in control is fast becoming a ‘farce’.

Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried. (Sir Winston Churchill) [1]
If the relationship between Prime Minister, Parliament and the electorate is the most democratic part of the system it is slowly being eroded. Accountability, a dirty word in this day and age of the Labor Party, is robbing us of the true meaning of democracy.
Although there is no guarantee that democratic decisions produce just and wise decisions about relations with other nations (e.g. on war, trading policies), including environmental questions and other matters affecting the interests of future generations democracy must be the main aim of our government.
What does democracy mean? In Ancient Greece some cities were democracies, others were oligarchies. Democracy here in Australia once meant being ruled by the people, however, the question now to be considered is are we currently oligarchy and being ruled by the few?
While unions continue to influence the Labor Party is it fair to assume that oligarchy does rule?
From wanting to have welfare participants use a debit card in order to monitor their spending habits to banning up to two year old children from watching television along with other numerous ‘nanny type’ and non feasible policies one can only conclude that Australia is fast becoming the socialist non-democratic country envisioned by Rudd in his essay 'The Global Financial Crisis'.

Labor losing war on bureaucratic waste as consultants' bill hits $450m: November 10th, 2009
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. (Sir Winston Churchill) [1]
When we look back at the splurge of spin that Kevin Rudd sprouted in his essay ‘The Global Financial Crisis’ we have to ask the question what did he not understand about the word ‘crisis’?
In my book Kevin Rudd has always from the very beginning of his prime ministerial duties displayed tendencies towards manic depression; he certainly gains admiration for his diplomatic skills, however, it is a definite virtue that I dislike—at the same time I do not admire his vice of here today gone tomorrow.
Kevin Rudd was voted in as the leader of this country’s government. Taking credit for our past leader’s successes yet on the other hand continually blaming him for the wrongs facing this country surely does not put him in a credible position.
At what point of time will both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard take responsibility for the policies neglected by them? Their inability to be made accountable is the real ‘crisis’ facing this country which in time can only lead to Australia being at the real front of the ‘Global Financial Crisis’.

"I think it is in Australia's interests that the Australian federal Government balance continues to be seen as one of the strongest balance sheets in the industrial world," he said.
As a retiree with very strong past affiliations with the administration side of both small and large businesses I clearly read between the above lines of the Treasury secretary Ken Henry. Continues to be seen; what balance sheets in the industrial world could Australia possibly have when from all other accounts our manufacturing industries are going to the wall? How do I know?

Sounds like you are having the “Sydney Experience”
And there is Zilch (Apart from my approach below) we can do about it with the consensus being; “This is just the way things are these days”.
I hear people on television (Hosts) stating the above “It’s the way things are today.")
Out this way you can end up shot, stabbed or bashed, over the smallest of issues (Car space, etc).
And, in many cases, if you back down (The absolute worse thing to do) this is what will happen.
Out here I have learnt that the best defense is a strong offence, when dealing with certain ethnic groups (Gangs, youths), and the local yobbo’s. It works.
I have many of the local young Wanabe’s (Gangsters) eating out of my palm.
They are used to people cowering, not turning on them and giving them a whooping.
How did we ( Australia) get this way? Blame the idiots preaching TOLERANCE.
This has led to the belief that all forms of behavior (Including Cultural mores) are to be accepted.
Whilst complaining about it, is considered to be INTOLERANCE.
Drunken Yobs, Ethnic gangs, road rage incidents, etc, etc.
And, the innocent victims, are often portrayed as the guilty one’s.
As the standards slip further and further, expect more of the same Only worse).
Australia seems to be going down the tubes (toilet).
Seeing the way the kids talk and behave, not to mention so called (Adults), it’s mind boggling.
We once had the best living standard in the world.
30 plus years later, after the Social engineers have had their way, we are considered somewhere between 2nd and 3rd world, in many aspects of our society.
Go figure.
