Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In recent decades Australian trade unions have struggled to overcome a number of challenges, including a rapidly changing policy environment, a societal focus on the individual over the collective, declining membership and aggressively hostile employers and governments. This experience is mirrored in New Zealand, the USA and United Kingdom. However, unions remain important societal institutions […]
A Green MP in New Zealand has been forced to stand down from her positions after a boutique owner accused her of shoplifting from their high end store. That’s not the best part of though. This bit is that the alleged light fingered MP is of all things a lawyer. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/301038288/mp-golriz-ghahramans-alleged-shoplifting-incident-happened-two-days-before-christmas Why would a lawyer […]
Queensland’s new premier Smiles announced a review of the Olympic construction tasks on taking office, which was due to be delivered 60 days later. Racing Minister Grace Grace has the responsibility for it now, and I can’t see Albion Park closing without Norwell being built first, but not moving and not building it is maybe […]
The jury in the Brittany Higgins case cannot come to an agreed decision of whether her colleague Bruce Lehrmann raped her or not. I am not surprised. The only thing that is surprising is that some of the jurors still want to convict him. How the hell could you? There is no way in the […]
The judge in the Bruce Lehrmann/Brittany Higgins defamation case has come to exactly the same conclusion that we told you two months age before the trial kicked off that he would. They are both liars, and you can’t quite believe a word that either of them say. In an unusual move, the Federal Court judge […]
A lot of people don’t believe how cl0se we once were to the epicentre of politics in both Australia, Queensland and New Zealand. That’s because they are dickheads. We told you Annastacia was gone once she dissed QLD powerbroker Gary Bullock so badly as she did. As usual we were spot on. The mainstream media […]
Winnie Peters is the great survivor of NZ Parliament, having first been elected in 1978 and then voted out and in and out and in over the years, climbing back to power and becoming the Deputy PM three times. He’s also been the racing minister three times, including right now. That’s good news in my […]
We wrote the story above early this week. The Courier-Mail finally caught up today (below). You always hear it here first. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/qld-politics/george-street-beat-was-premier-unwise-to-defy-union-boss/news-story/3f45dbd0ef65232a9a1a4328880e59f7 The wisdom of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s declaration she doesn’t need the support of union powerbroker Gary ‘Blocker’ Bullock has been questioned by her colleagues. Amid revelations unions were polling Queenslanders on her performance, GSB […]
The QLD Premier is cactus. She made sure of it yesterday by insulting union heavyweight and left faction powerbroker Gary Bullock when she all but dismissed his influence by saying she didn’t need his support to remain in power, and claiming that the people of Queensland would be her judge. This woman is off her […]
Hi Archie, In short the Australian Trainers Association, with support from other members of the racing alliance group ( jockeys, owners, breeders etc) met yesterday with Minister Grace Grace (pictured above) and advised her of our intention to issue a strongly worded press release stating that the industry had no confidence in the ability or […]
