Text of the page (random words):
at i became a member of a club within a club i paid so much for my membership that i dare not miss a game a function no matter how badly the metallic taste of panic surged of course i m a fan i would die in a ditch rather than hear them denigrated for daring to be more than blokes chasing a ball i ll ask for a photo secretly smile when i see a like on my twitter feed or instagram but i hate watching the same people year after year chasing them across rooms to sign things i know they have a dozen of are probably flogging for a premium i have superstitions which probably qualify as ocd i wear the colours i will travel across the country to finals knowing that my little rituals are meaningless that they can t hear me shout cheer or clap but i like to be there if even for a moment they sense that someone else is on their side i belong to something which has given me more than i can ever repay may the best team win but let it be my bloodstained angels comments leave a comment categories uncategorized celebrities speak out for suicide prevention 10 09 2014 a little plug for an organisation i am so proud to have worked with on some different projects suicide prevention australia to learn more about spa visit the website here media release for world suicide prevention day contact kim borrowdale on 02 9223 3333 australian celebrities have joined together to voice the importance of reaching out and getting connected this world suicide prevention day suicide prevention australia spa supporter trish heagerty lost her husband to suicide last year she came to spa wanting to raise awareness of suicide prevention services and support in a bid to spare others from the pain she and her loved ones have endured since his death as well as the pain he experienced trish is a food stylist and used her media contacts to partner with creative and passionate crew and celebrities including steve waugh commando steve willis jessica rowe justine clarke luke carroll alex perry jesinta campbell and mia freedman convenor of the national coalition for suicide prevention and suicide prevention australia ceo sue murray said of the video in australia more than 2500 people take their lives a year with every 1 suicide death it is estimated that between 10 and 100 people are directly impacted that is 10 100 people that knew that person this year s world suicide prevention day theme is all about making the connection sadly we are all connected to suicide and at some time in our lives will be looking to access the right services at the right time for others or ourselves sue went on to add on a personal note we are so grateful to people like trish with a lived experience of suicide who have the strength to constructively share their story to raise awareness thank you to everyone involved in this powerful and moving project key facts every year over 800 000 people in the world die from suicide this roughly corresponds to one death every 40 seconds the number of lives lost each year through suicide exceeds the number of deaths due to homicide and war combined each year 65 000 australian s attempt to take their own lives there are on average 130 000 total deaths per year in australia of these attempts australia loses approximately 2 500 loved ones the australian national coalition for suicide prevention is working to half this in ten years but they need help from every australian as you can see from the numbers everyone is connected to suicide it is everyone s business comments 1 comment tags suicide prevention australia world suicide prevention day categories 2014 mental health september suicide prevention no fairytales 7 09 2014 after last weekend s three point win against the sydney swans sealed its ninth win in a row and eighth place on the ladder the richmond tigers second finals appearance in five years was widely hailed as the fairytale of the 2014 afl season it s a projection richmond carried through today on its banner the only thing those wearing yellow black ran through this afternoon at adelaide oval there was no fairytale to steal from sam seaborn port adelaide did not seek nor did they provoke such a story instead they rose and mastered the occasion and reminded all that their capacity may well be limitless on paper both clubs results over the last five seasons are strikingly similar two finals appearances and three fairly wretched home and away seasons both boast some remarkable individual talent richmond s cotchin deledio martin rance and dual coleman medalist jack riewoldt port adelaide s wingard westhoff trengove harlett and boaks each faced financial ruin port adelaide s red staunched thanks to the sanfl afl underwriting millions in debt richmond saved from liquidation in 1990 by its members and its football department s stocks boosted by supporters in 2011 the difference the gulf between the top four and the rest should really be the top five while port adelaide s apparatus will likely hang precariously for the next five to 10 years a list that has not changed much since the arrival of senior coach ken hinkley in 2013 is going onto the second week of the finals for the second consecutive year richmond s onfield performance in the last two finals series doesn t reflect the energy and ability of its ceo brendon gale or the commitment of its 60 000 members to erase its debt and give the club a decent shot at a flag those members deserve to collect more than the insipid performance delivered today by players who celebrated like they had won the flag last week and they deserve better than to represent themselves as australian football s traumatic bonders that the record shows a 57 point loss is bad enough the reality is port scored 57 points in the first quarter and played to protect themselves from injury for the final 30 minutes if i hadn t been at the scg to see the sydney swans beat geelong by 110 points in round 11 i d say this was not the worst performance of the season but the most shocking port took adelaide oval like a panzer division richmond had the ignition timing of a datsun 180b in 1890 port adelaide were crowned the first champions of australia defeating the victorian football association premiers south melbourne by three points at adelaide oval i don t believe in fairytales but i am superstitious never happier to see the swans on the other

legislative overhaul which will result in a blatant malapportionment of votes within the city of sydney cos is lazy and misleading under the city of sydney amendment elections 2014 bill introduced by the hon robert borsak of the shooters and fishers party the general manager not the electoral commissioner will be responsible for keeping and maintaining an automatic non residential roll the electoral commissioner will review it to check the nominated voters are eligible i e over 18 years old eligible to vote in australia and not on the cos residential roll if a corporation is the owner lessee or occupier of rateable land the gm will enrol two people to vote based on a majority written nomination if no nomination is received the gm will automatically enrol the first two people from an alphabetical list of owners lessees or occupiers mr toole likens this malapportionment to four people living in redfern each having a vote despite occupying the same address this ignores the fairly basic concept that four individuals on the electoral roll all contribute to and use services provided by each level of government and only get one vote in the divisions in which they are enrolled mr toole is correct that non residents have the right to vote in the city of sydney and that the poor turnout at the last election suggests they find the relatively new re enrolment provisions cumbersome i don t have a problem with business people who have a stake in the way the city is run having a say at the ballot box i m no fan of the current lord mayor and after 12 years living in an inner city suburb i proudly support local independent businesses what i object to is the malapportionment of votes a single business entity with multiple business locations such as a fast food chain might only be eligible to two votes but that s still twice what mine is worth further who is to say that the small business people the minister speaks of will actually get a say an absentee landowner living interstate could nominate themselves over the people who deserve it the ones who run the business whose livelihoods are affected by council decisions such as metered car parking also the model proposed by the shooters party means a corporation with interests in several separate business entities with a physical address in the city of sydney could have multiple punts come election day imagen this just a few years ago a certain family s group of companies leased two shops at circular quay fast forward a few years and under the same circumstances that family could arrange for different companies within its control to nominate up to four people to vote in the council election based on holding those two leaseholds alone tops according to mr toole the australian securities and investment commission land property management authority and business surveys will guard against fraud or scam electors who will pay for and resource this extra policing of the vagaries of some 40 000 businesses which could be under administration or investigation change hands or directors the minister talks of cutting red tape but the shooters party bill will create another task for both federal and nsw government agencies the minister appears to be unaware the lpma was itself abolished in 2011 with its three divisions now under the purview of two state government departments state mp for sydney alex greenwich has introduced his own bill into the legislative assembly in addition to pointing out the inconsistencies with adopting a model based on melbourne city council the city of sydney business voting and council elections bill 2014 address several concerns i have about the shooters party bill including the cos gm s management of the roll why should the gm keep the non residential roll when the electoral commissioner is responsible for the residential roll regardless of the nature of the elected council a council employee with oversight of who votes for the composition of the council which pays their salary is low hanging fruit for vested interests further the greenwich amendments provide for in person or postal voting and importantly does not make voting compulsory for non residents let s face it the person who owns my flat may not give two stuffs who s in charge at town hall compelling people to vote in an election they give even fewer fucks about will do nothing more than boost the number of invalid donkey votes while the changes to the cos act don t affect other local government areas mr toole has signalled his support to roll out the changes to other key cities and economic areas such as parramatta and newcastle because having a developer as lord mayor worked so well i started writing this piece a few days ago c mon you don t think i could read this much draft legislation before midday on a saturday only to be beaten to the punch by secco who has written a getclover feelpiece for the saturday paper this i hope delves deeper into the nature of the proposed changes and the long term impact on the residents of the city of sydney because it is much more than an attack on the political survival of one person as per the current narrative the tea party lite sloganeering adopted by toole borsak et al is a reminder that money will equal speech regardless of how sick to the stomach nsw is of those who sought and succeeded to steal elections set aside political affiliations apathy personality based views malapportionment of votes an electoral roll kept by a council employee more red tape caused by the multi layered policing of the roll and no clear indication of which corporation will wield the business vote where more than one exists on a rateable property make the amendments unworkable let mps know and don t forget it in march 2015

the 2011 election i was so mentally emotionally done with all things macquarie street that when my sister casually mentioned the liberal candidate for newcastle tim owen was carpet bombing local television with this ad i shrugged as far as media buying goes newcastle is a pretty expensive market political parties tv spend in state elections is usually devoted to a few generic ads a major party candidate producing buying space for his own tvc pretty rare tim owen s free fall from respected senior military officer to politician a tumble in itself to bum fuzzled early retiree from

uncategorized how stupid are you 12 06 2014 so who s stupid not you of course certainly not me hey maybe none of us no that s not what people were saying today as journalist mark sawyer opined that anything less than white supremacy was not racist parsing a quote from an australian army officer condemning the sexual abuse and harassment of women in the defence forces that included the word standard here was another cretinism depressingly fresh on the heels of mia freedman s insight that madonna s poor brown children from a poor brown country were better off skiing with the rich people it may pay to look at the bigger picture pays to have a long hard look at ourselves we re living in a an era when evil critical thought is an outmoded concept when there are no bad people only bad acts only baddies and more baddies yes of course the stupid i walk past is the stupid i accept to paraphrase the angry army officer again vogue reasoning sorry notsorry but i stopped walking past it plenty of times i stopped walking past it when a man in spain told me not to put my masters degree on my cv because i look too smart on paper when the mother of an old friend asked if i still had my little job and when an old lady in country nsw offered me his ultimate accolade a bewildered stare press secretary are you from the typing pool hey i also stopped walking past it when people assert that australia is a uniquely wicked racist wait didn t he say teh evils were no more country i said australia wasn t unique or wicked but we are home ...
