Have you still not noticed Paul, after Yeppoon, a lot of people now know, not just suspect, the bureau is playing a silly game. I think a reduction of about 50% in funding, & the dismissal of the entire overpaid management would be more in order, definitely not an increase in budget.

Paul1405,

As usual the Greens are just stirring.

What about the beaut new computer system? It is situation normal where large sums are expended on technology that government wants to see the promised (by the agency) savings, an efficiency dividend.

The Bureau of Meteorology faces a $10 million cut to its budget over the next four years, but says there will be no impact on services...
the government has committed to going ahead with the replacement of the Bureau's supercomputer, which will be outdated by mid-2016>

A lie detector would be useless new technology where the Greens are concerned, because whenever they open their mouths the half-truths and misrepresentations just come tumbling out.

Why hasn't NSW Greens Shoebridge acted to remove the falsehood on the Greens' site that the gun used by the Martin Place terrorist was registered when it was NOT? For what possible purposes do the Greens and Shoebridge ('Showboat') keep that lie going? It has been months.

Beach, off the deep end once more, as per usual. The Greens publish their policies for all to see. Unlike some who hide in cellars and broom closets. When are you going to come clean on your own political affiliation and stop that silly pretense that your are some sort of political neutral, when you are clearly not. Openness will gain you respect.

Beach, you are like a dog with a bone, you never give it up!
You are posting something total unrelated to the topic.

Have you contacted Mr Shoebridge in relation to your concern?
If so have you received a satisfactory response?

In case you have not, here is a link for you to use?

Incidentally, you were ignorant of the matter, until Is Mise posted it, but it is your bone now.

Since we are off topic, have you got your nomination in for the up coming NSW State election? I did suggest the seat of Newtown.
p/s noms close today, The Greens will again be contesting every seat in the state, plus a full team in LC. How many seats are you and Jim contesting, I suspect none.

Beach other than getting on here, and putting up your worthless political opinion, have you ever tried to get out there and do something politically constructive? I actually admire people who not just nominate for office be it Green, Labor or Liberal etc but work behind the scenes to try and make a difference.

Paul1405,

That is all ducking and irrelevancy.

You are very forward in spruiking the NSW 'Watermelon' Greens. You say you rub shoulders with them, admiring Shoebridge ('Showboat') and the woman he apes (since lightweight Shoebridge has never had an original idea himself), the dreadful export to Canberra, Lee Rhiannon (Brown).

What do the Greens get out of promoting that lie about the gun being legal when very obviously it was not and the NSW police had already said so?
