By Everald Compton, published 25/8/2017

In my schooldays in the bush, the farmers around my little timber town often had the unpleasant task of putting down an animal.

Everyone agrees with Kim Jong-Un and dances in the streets when he gets a haircut or deletes America. His embassy in Canberra will re-open after great Australian leader learns from Kim and gets 95% of the clapping.

Nicknamenick..

I'm watching you..(OO)

Definition of Multiculturalism:

The Immigration Restriction Act 1901 (White Australia Policy) was one of the world's oddest race-based government policies in that much of the impetus for it came from white men who liked and respected non-white races to the point they felt inferior by comparison.

Nothing changes then, left whinges continue to worship the ethic, while right whinges continue to capitalise on the ethic of the left whinges, played out in public spaces called Parliaments.

Yours, Billy Blue!

When a house is riddled beyond repair with hypothetical dry rot/white ants, the only choice is to knock it down and rebuild from the ground up.

And one who focuses on what unites us rather than what divides us. Moreover, takes on the lessons of history so as to avoid repeating blatant glaring mistakes.

One of which is electing divisive pollies appealing to hate based prejudice! JAWOHL?

The only effect of is to get bogged down in some politic quagmire/sh!t storm that then forestalls esssential overdue reform. Essential overdue reform includes affordable energy! Affordable housing! Decentralization! And drought proofing the nation!

And no not with airy fairy untried solutions borrowed from dream castle dwellers, but practical tried and not found wanting, solutions!

Like Thorium based energy.

Which as it is rolled out as publically funded, owned and operated amenity. Makes the others all possible along with a resuscitated resurgent manufacturing base and more jobs than we have people to fill them!

Parliament is allegedly the competition of ideas! Not a competition of competing, set in hardened concrete, ideological imperatives and further brainwashed into adherence, by nonsense mantras like, government has no business in business!

We might not like socialism but happy to take their money, FTA's, security partnerships ( highly successful socialist Singapore, with its myriad government enterprises) and (growing the economy while depopulating, communist China) trade deals!

Conversely if you want to see just how effective trickle down economics is, you need look no further than the, very nearly bankrupt after a short three year trial, state of Kansas, U.S.A.

Think, the Great depression was in essence a manageable recession, compounded by the application of conservative economic dogma and only rescued by the applied pragmatism of keynesian economics!

That then led to a post war period of unprecedented prosperity and an Australia that was the third wealthiest nation on the planet; and a creditor one at that!

As opposed to one almost mired in record debt, now today! We've come a long way since that period of post war prosperity! And it's all been down!

What will kill real estate investment is low wage growth. Rents are already unsustainable.
As property prices continue to escalate, and investors take on ever more debt, returns from property investment will fall.

Australia must be near breaking point. Home ownership is totally unaffordable, with the exception of the well paid permanent employee, all new starters now rent.

The fall back position for renters in arrears, is life on the street. If you wonder what official sympathy is awaiting these people, look to the dismantling of the homeless camp in Martin Place as the example: New laws enacted to outlaw homelessness, and the mass branding of the homeless as mentally deficient.

Public housing is no panacea. Privatisation of this sector has rendered those unaffordable and of little benefit to the new homeless.

Politicians ignore this reality and feature gay marriage as the parliamentary priority. Something is seriously amiss with either their reasoning, or their own personal moral guidance system.

NASA: A Nuclear Reactor To Replace Your Water Heater.
Instead, a low-energy nuclear reactor (LENR) uses common, stable elements like nickel, carbon, and hydrogen to produce stable products like copper or nitrogen, along with heat and electricity.
"You would have a unit that would replace your water heater. And you would have some sort of cycle to derive electrical energy from that."

Invest in the greens as the latest in laser guidance technology for guiding Australian Governments...two candidates vying for CEO position of this wiz bang start up company, are a very likeable and trustworthy citizen in William Shorten, and the other more senior candidate with big eyeballs, fit for staring down greedy power company's, in Mal Turnbull.

During an interview on ABC RN. Both conceded the possibility of a dead heat, and agreed to sharing the same bed if push came to shove!
