What a pity non-Transport Minister Lynne Kosky took matters into her own hand and dumped the idea of issuing our ticket inspectors with handcuffs to help them deal with difficult non-paying customers.
Ther use of handcuffs would make their job so much easier and eliminate those nasty fights and scuffles when dealing with fare evaders. After […]
What a load of wimps. Only eight months into the job the foolhardy elected them to do, Bland Bracks and Waterboy Thwaites have thrown in the towel. Talk about rats leaving a sinking ship - and defrauding the voters by not completing their side of the contract with the electorate. It’s all (further) downhill from […]
It seems I’m not the only one who finds our Minister for the Arts somewhat lacking in common courtesy and disrespectful of the portfolio she represents - even worse that the unlamented Mary Delahunty, in the view of many of our city’s culture vultures.
The latest Kosky cock-up comes via the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, which has […]
According to a huge headline in The Australian today the world has suffered the “Death of a footy salesman“. Death? It’s bad enough that so many illiterate commentators refer to Sheedy’s “demise”. But to record this event as death is going much too far. Get over it; another coach has been sacked. So what’s new?
Twice I have tried to post a reasoned and reasonable response to an ongoing debate http://bromo.nook.com.au/2007/06/08/what-discrimination-2/ at my Nook site and each time it has failed to appear.
Twice I have asked admin to explain. And not a word has been received in reply.
Censorship is alive and well at Nooksville.
The owners of the short-lived Romanian restaurant in Bridge Road, Richmond, are making an interesting accusation about the reasons for their eatery’s closure. It is a matter of “reverse discrimination” alleges gypsy Yvonne Slee in a romany newspaper published in the UK. Ms Slee had intended to use the restaurant to promote the romany heritage […]
Yarra Council has done it again: got workers to sneak in at dead of night and hung another of its annoying banners over the facade of the Richmond Town Hall. Ratepayers bear the cost of the making and installing (with very expensive cherry-picker hire) of these blots on the landscape. We don’t get asked if […]
This useless Bracks Government must have more money than sense (witness the buy-back of its old trains) if it can spend $500,000 on a Responsible Pet Ownership Program. Such a scheme is (according to the Age) in next week’s State Budget. Forget responsible pets; how about encouraging responsible pet owners? It is time we put […]
When is something going to be done about the daily flagrant abuse of the speed limit on Bridge Road? There is hardly a vehicle passing through this main Richmond thoroughfare that comes even close to abiding by the law. And yet the police station is only 100m from where so many signs clearly declare this […]
