The Greens’ global economic policies translated

Well, since they’re going to control the Australian Senate starting next July, it’s probably best to have a look at their policies. Being an expat Aussie living in South Korea with mainly American friends, perhaps it’s a good idea to start with their global economic policies.

They sound nice and fluffy, but are essentially cryptically worded. But bing’s here to help with some handy translations… translations and/or commentary will be in bold.

Measures

The Australian Greens will:

11. support mechanisms to promote sustainable international trade.

That means less trade, which means fewer jobs, yet higher taxes to pay for carbon offsets and ripoffs and other hot air scams that won’t do anything to help the environment but will do plenty to make us all poorer and lower our standard of living.

When a fisking is what’s needed

To begin, we have “kevin“. Here’s Kevin.

Col. Milquetoast.
To show “how bad” of someone else’s nation or in this case, north korea and shown only bad w/o the full picture of entire life in 25million N. Koreans is NOT fair. In Detroit, USA, people do starve believe it or not, but picturing entire USA as starving nation would be arrogant. Selective people and Selective info does not serve justice nor conclusion in N. Korea or any other nation.

“Kevin”, virtually all of North Korea is starving. Yes, there is poverty in Detroit, and there’s a whole other argument there about Asian nations’ car tarriffs, but for brevity’s sake, can we agree the second fattest nation on the planet is not starving.

Political corruption is NOT unique in N.Korea, and this includes the World Bank and the UN.

Thank you for that relevation.

North Korea population is 25 million people and S. Korea is 55 million people thus require more light.

Well yes, Kevin, that is factually true. 55 million people probably will require more electricity than 25 (20) million people. So why is the satellite photo showing such vastly less than half?

I like your comment about “shouldn’t you have listed everything bad about North Korea before you leveled any criticism at the US”, this logic goes both ways whichever country people like to criticize. I was only replying to the picture above, and N. Korea or Any other nations deserves more info verses just NEGATIVE info whether the info is about N. Korea, USA or any other country.

Good one! More info… everyone likes that. So how about that bomb, er, power plant?

I prefer NOT to talk about BAD about any nation

But you are. No worries, we’re used to it with Muslims.

, but I do like to criticize those who like to point failures of others before theirs. I don’t like arrogant people. Why don’t people list good and bad, instead ONLY bad as in the picture above. This is not fair for N. Korea and begs the questions “shouldn’t you have listed everything bad about your own country before you leveled any criticism at others.”

Yeah, we have that quote in English, too. Charity begins at home. It’s better to help yourself before you help others. There are so many things wrong with your last paragraph. First, you say you don’t like arrogant people, but you yourself are being so arrogant. As for good and bad, you only wish to highlight the “bad” in America whilst not even admitting you’re Iranian, what with it’s rigged elections, the madman Ahmedinijad, and the corrupt child-molesting Ahatollahs.

This LOGIC works both ways. Japan has accused N. Korean of Kidnappings which is drop in the bucket compared to Kidnappings Japan has done in WWII against South & North Korea.

Yep, as a south Korean resident, you’re right there. But what’s that got to do with your hatred of the West? Nice try at a diversion.

For the 1st time Japan is acknowledging kidnapping is bad ONLY after having experience on their own; kidnapping was not a concern that USA brought to Japan. Having said above, USA is very good nation and N. Korea has a lot to learn from USA.

Right gain.

But how can N. Korea learn from USA when people don’t like N. Korea with this “ONLY BAD North Korea” info and treat the entire population as Kim Jong Il.

You really don’t get it. No one has a problem with North Korea. It’s their government, Einstein.

I am NOT falling for that trap and hope no else does against any other nation. I intend to hear from both side, just like the court of justice in USA. That is the the TRUE American Way and I intend to stand for that without SELECTIVITY.

It’s good you’re not falling into the trap of Islam.

Nothing against you or anyone else or any other nation, but toward the arrogant., and this includes the World Bank and the UN governed by table of 5 Kims or 5 “PERMANENT” Member of Security Council. World Bank does NOT loan money to N. Korea to buy food, thus N. Korea is NOT in heavily debt as others; but surely debt is better than food shortage.

Sure, and if only North Korea would come to the table…

It’s funny, buddy. You’re appealing to us like we’re all Obama-loving leftists. The West has alot to see through, but guaranteed you’re on the plate, mate.

You wanna keep playing mind games, Kevin?

A Very Brief Note

Every day of my life has been a living hell for the past few weeks, and I have a series of posts coming that will explain that. It’s about getting revenge on unscrupulous lawyers. I think you will like it.

I miss you guys and gals.

Australian poverty, part 2.

I wrote a post a while back on the issue of poverty Australian style, and how it can be a very different creature to anything seen in places such as India or Vietnam.

Id like to expand on a few more points I’ve become aware of in my job as provider of goods to the “poor”.

I’ve long assumed at least pert of the reason poor people had trouble getting ahead was the lack of ability to purchase quality goods. After all no-one expects a lot from a $200.00 fridge. But a poorer person replacing a fridge every couple of years would be a considerable burden on their finances, preventing them from being able to purchase quality goods designed to last a decade or more.

I have been in places this bad before.

 

I don’t assume that anymore.

This is not a blanket statement, but probably correlates to somewhere around 50% of my clients.

They have no quality goods because they live like pigs.

Harsh? No way. Heres a few examples from the last few weeks.

$1400 Westinghouse fridge freezer, about 8 months old, found left on the verge for rubbish collection. It cost $600 to repair, the basic cause of the shorted out motherboard? Cockroaches.

I had to dismantle and reassemble every panel in the machine to kill the thousands of roaches living INSIDE the fridge.

Washing machine, $500.00reasonable brand, rooted within 3 months due to massive cockroach infestations shorting out the electrics again.

I went to a regional town to chase a lady for money (shes in jail, but that’s another story), her mother is a customer and asked if I could take a look at a CD player. I went in the house (its 9.00 in the morning), its filthy, it stinks of dope smoke ( the breakfast of champions) and I can see roaches wandering on the floor between the mattresses, piles of clothes and lounge chairs. The dogs have free run of the house and one of the kids obviously has scabies along an arm and shoulder.

I can’t find the fault with the stereo, so I ask the lady to bring it in next time she comes to town. (there’s a reason I ask her to bring it in). Today she brings it in, and as the boot of the car is popped I see hundreds of roaches which have come from the stereo and speakers in there. I just take the main stereo, and after she leaves spray/remove well over 100 cockroaches from the guts of the machine.

I have had 3 computers, all less than 6 months old returned jammed up with, you guessed it, cockroaches.

I have had to replace a main woofer for a Kenwood surround sound system, not roaches this time, but the wiring on the inside was corroded from rat faeces. They didn’t have a pet rat.. I have replaced a Wii at the same address from roaches as well.

Heres a few suggestions for our political masters.

1: Remove children immediately from these environments. Their parents may say they love them, but unless they meet certain minimum standards of cleanliness they are manifestly unfit.

2: Compulsory birth control for those deemed unfit to parent. If they want to rejoin society and meet certain minimum standards the birth control can be  removed.

3: No more  increases in spending on higher education until  every child capable of doing so reads/writes, and understands basic budgeting and hygiene before they leave primary school.

4: People living in public housing are to be compelled, by whatever means, to meet minimum standards of hygiene.

The following outcomes could be expected.

1: Far fewer hospital admissions for filth caused illnesses.

2: Far fewer children born to those least likely to provide for them.

3: Far lower crime rate, from

 A: Fewer children born into dysfunctional “families”

B: Far more people educated to be useful members of society.

4: Massively reduced welfare rolls, welfare should be a stopgap, not a life sentence.

It would take a politician with balls of steel to propose any of these things, the cries of “racism” from vested interest groups would be deafening. But i ask you what good is an advocacy group if it doesn’t tackle a parent who allows children to live in filth? That sees a child who dies from malnutrition and scabies (as witnessed by a copper mate of mine) , its nappy full of cockroaches, written off as a “cot death”?

Heres a story from a customer of mine. She described how bad the roaches were in her house. She was having trouble sleeping because whan she rolled over in bed she was crushing roaches in it with her.

She blamed this on “the roaches are bad here”, rather than the filth and degradation she and her kids were living in.

I’m angry this happens in my town, in my country. I can’t influence this in any way, I have written letters to Homeswest (the WA government department that supplies state housing)  asking for sprays to be carried out in certain properties, and to their credit they have usually done so. But these properties are supposed to be inspected by the department, how can they turn a blind eye to drug abuse, filth, damage and vermin infestations of near biblical proportions?

How can children’s services leave kids in environments like this?

How can doctors and the health profession not speak about the filth caused admissions and illnesses which can be eradicated with basic hygiene?

The parents are responsible, if they are unfit then the children MUST be removed. Quite frankly I don’t care if they end up in racially segregated institutions to maintain cultural background, but they must be told their parents love drugs/drink/filth, more than they love their children. It’s the truth.

The greens position on the mining tax revealed.

My agent on the inside managed to smuggle out this clip of the Greens/Labor meeting to thrash out their position on mining profits tax.

Unfortunately its not to far from the position in the video…
