Way too many of you, just the right amount of me.

There is a primal logic behind that sentiment that is as honest as it is old.

Our re-emergent Corporate Culture

John Howard’s prolific use of ‘I’ rather than ‘we’ a sign of a re-emerging political and business autocracy.

Watching the recent Four Corner’s series was shocked by the harsh old military style authoritative rigidness adapted by Telstra.

Wartime gives reminder personally of an outlying anti-aircraft unit, the men skilled operators who maybe had become too acquainted with their popular C O who had been promoted to a higher command. Next day a launch pulled into the beach unloading who looked not much more than a boy, yet the number of shoulder pips proving he was a captain. But instead of greeting the gun crew shaking hands etc, he had them all lined up soon telling them what he expected of them.

As belonging to an artillery survey crew at leisure we gave a cheer when a bombardier refused to stay at attention, the rest of the gun crew sniggering and pointing fingers towards the mainland telling the officer boy to get back to school and learn a bit more.

It is interesting that the launch crew quickly advised the young officer to get back aboard, bringing another but older commander back next day in a much different frame of mind.

Especially in modern business areas requiring skilled operatives, the above should give reminder that such skills should also entail sensible/sensitive mentalities for those in total charge of these operatives, which certainly includes Mr John Howard

You are right about uranuim mining.
It is not about abuse of children it is all about potential nuclear waste sites and uranium mining exploration in the Northern Territory. If you believe in Uranium Mining, Uranium Exports, Nuclear Power Stations, Nuclear Bombs, Depleted Uranium and Nuclear Waste Dumping then you do not care a damm about people, least of all children.
You do care about promoting Uranium because it is lucrative for the mining companies.
