A good heart these days is hard to find and the most important one is your own. Amid the hustle and bustle of social media, forums, and online debate it is very easy to get wound up. To seethe and hate or mope and despair. To writhe in anger or anguish and rage against the dimming light of reason. Peace be upon you brother and sister. Fill your heart and soul with tranquil thoughts and healing energy. Thus spake Zarathustra. Well, perhaps not, but it is a fairly good idea, every now and then, to take a time-out from the fray.Continue Reading

Hands up who has heard of the term ‘downward envy’? Yes, this is the name for all those Aussies who think that everyone on welfare is a dole bludger. These people reckon that there are too many folk having a good time on less than $50 a day. You could not even pay your rent in Australia on that, let alone eat. Downward envy: What kind of Australian indulges in that? Bitter and twisted miserable bastards comes to mind. Unhappy people wanting to apportion blame onto others, also, springs to mind in this case.Continue Reading

Australian banks do not even have enough staff employed in their scam crisis emergency departments to take your call in a timely manner. Calling the Commonwealth Bank you can be on hold waiting to talk with someone about your disappearing money until it is too late. Scamming and Australian banks: The real story. The Big 4 Banks, ANZ, CBA, NAB, and Westpac won’t take responsibility for securing your money from scammers, despite the fact that they are supposed to be banks, first and foremost. In the old days, banks locked up your money and that is why you deposited your hard earned money there in the first place. Not today, banks are all about convenience and not security. They don’t offer any interest on your savings so what is the point of them. They skim off the top of every transaction, so, when your hard earned money is scammed from you, they don’t care, as they make money on the transaction anyway.Continue Reading

Peter Dutton doesn’t give a f*** about First Nations’ Australians, as he is playing politics over the Voice to Parliament. Everything for Dutton and his Liberal Party mates is about getting back in power. They see the Voice as an Anthony Albanese initiative and want to defeat it on this basis. Dutton represents everything that is rotten about the Australian political setup. Peter Dutton is a disgrace. The Voice is not a Labor Party initiative, it is an Indigenous Australia proposal. The Uluru Statement from the Heart is not about politics, it is about recognition and a seat at the table for First Nations people. It is time for the dickheads to get out of the way and let progress happen. Younger Australians are sick of their racist past and would like to see something done about respecting and empowering First Nations Australians.Continue Reading
