<p>I couldn&#8217;t believe it when I heard that <a class="zem_slink" title="Kevin Rudd" rel="homepage" href="http://www.pm.gov.au">Rudd</a> would get a $600,000 pension for the rest of his life. How can that be? When any other Australian retires they&#8217;re lucky to get a pension. Imagine working all your life, busting your balls to make a buck all the while the Government is taking their cut to run the country. That&#8217;s cool you say because everyone has to contribute their bit right? And if you earn a little too much the Government will kindly tell you. &#8220;Sorry, you don&#8217;t deserve a pension because you&#8217;ve got too much in the kitty&#8221;.</p>

<p>Not so the politicians, those guys over at Parliament House live by a different set of rules. Look at Rudd, he couldn&#8217;t even finish his full term as PM, actually getting kicked out by his own party, and he&#8217;s guaranteed a huge pension for life, even if he was to leave politics tomorrow at the ripe old age of 52! Shit we can&#8217;t get a pension until 65, and only if we don&#8217;t put too much away. Not Rudd and his political cronies, which includes the Liberal and other parties. Shit, does he even <a title="Wanker!" href="http://au.messages.yahoo.com/news/politics/818555?p=1" target="_blank">deserve</a> a pension when his wife is worth somewhere around the $56 million mark?</p>
<p>OK, maybe that&#8217;s a little harsh. Perhaps all politicians are not the same. It seems Senator <a class="zem_slink" title="Steve Fielding" rel="homepage" href="http://www.stevefielding.com.au/">Steve Fielding</a> wants to shit down<a title="a lone voice in the political darkness" href="http://www.stevefielding.com.au/blog/comments/time_to_shut_down_fat_cat_pollie_payouts/" target="_blank"> Fat Pollie Payouts</a>, but I can&#8217;t see anything coming of this unless Aussies make a stand.</p>
<p>From what I can see most politicians think they are doing it tough and are looking for a <a title="Bastards" href="http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/federal-politicians-in-bold-bid-for-more-salary-allowances/story-e6freon6-1225836726942" target="_blank">higher salary and more allowances</a>, as if they haven&#8217;t got enough perks. Yep, why shouldn&#8217;t they get more money and <a class="zem_slink" title="Employee benefit" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_benefit">fringe benefits</a> while the rest of the Australian public is doing it tough?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering what some of the perks politicians are getting you may find this <a title="Unfair wouldn't you say?" href="http://www.multiline.com.au/~johnm/perks.htm" target="_blank">expose</a> of some interest. So, you see in this world of ours there seems to be two sets of rules, one for the politicians and one for the rest of Australians, and you know what, that&#8217;s a whole load of bullshit!</p>

<p>It seems the the Kevin Rudd&#8217;s political career has ended as dramatically as it started exactly 2 years 6 months and 21 days after becoming he Prime Minister of Australia. He would have had to have been the most popular PM we&#8217;ve had for a long time and his Labor colleagues couldn&#8217;t praise him highly enough.</p>
<p>Yet those same colleagues, especially the power brokers from the right faction, planned his demise. Almost Judas style they delivered the coupe in 24 hours not seven days after Kevin said, after asked about rumors of dissent from within the party, that he would lead the party to the next election. To say he was shocked about the whole thing would be an understatement.</p>
<div class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; display: block;">

<p>And so we have two historical moments in Australia history. The first being that Kevin Rudd was kicked out by his own party before completing his first term and while still holding the lead. The second being that Julia Gillard is Australia&#8217;s first ever female Prime Minister. After listening to Mr Rudd&#8217;s very emotional final <a title="Rudd at his best" href="http://player.video.news.com.au/theaustralian/#1529130378" target="_blank">speech</a> I must say it is Rudd at his best, probably because it was from the heart and not something put together for him.</p>
<p>Those of you who have been following this blog know that I haven&#8217;t been all that positive about the way Labor has lead this country over the last couple of years and most of that blame has fallen on Rudd, but that&#8217;s only because he&#8217;s the leader.</p>
<p>The real culprit is the Labor Party itself, and the only reason they ousted Rudd is because they&#8217;re hoping the Australian people will be fooled into thinking that having a female PM will make everything OK. It won&#8217;t because it&#8217;s still the same party, and let&#8217;s not forget that Miss Gillard didn&#8217;t handle her portfolio all that well, pretty dismally in fact, and a lot of the mistakes must be shared by her and the rest of her cohorts.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that Julia Gillard will have a honeymoon period, especially being the first ever female Prime Minister, but whether this is enough to win the next election remains to be seen.</p>
<p>What I find really amusing is how the Labor party in the last election said a vote for Howard would be a vote for Costello and here we are not three years later having a PM we didn&#8217;t vote for. Considering how the right faction has put someone from the left faction into power one has to wonder what it would take for them to knife her in the back, just as they did to Kevin Rudd, if she doesn&#8217;t act according to their wishes. And here I was thinking that as an Australian citizen I could choose who I want as a leader only to find out that I really have no saying the matter at all.</p>

<p>Apart from warning people of the scams that I come across, which I think is a service in itself, I also like to inform them when I come across things that can actually make them some cash. One way you can make money, especially if you&#8217;re lucky, is by buying a lottery ticket. Now although these are sold on a weekly basis I don&#8217;t normally post about it unless there&#8217;s a jackpot to be won, and this is one of those posts.</p>
<p>OZ Lotto is played every Tuesday and while there<a href="http://www.lotteryaffiliates.com/c/aid=3fe9e475&amp;cid=123"><img class="alignright" style="border: medium none;" src="http://www.lotteryaffiliates.com/b/3372.gif" alt="" width="200" height="250" /></a> have been winners it seems that no-one has won first prize which means it&#8217;s now jack potted to a whopping $40 million, and that is nothing to sneeze at. Man, if I won me a cool $40,000,000 I would make blogging my full time career meaning I could do a lot more research thereby keeping you guys more informed of what&#8217;s going on.<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
  if (self != top) {     if (document.images)         top.location.replace(window.location.href);     else         top.location.href = window.location.href; }
// ]]&gt;</script><a href="http://www.lotteryaffiliates.com/c/aid=3fe9e475&amp;cid=123"></a></p>
<p>These days more and more people are buying their tickets online because of the convenience. No more waiting in long lines, which are always there when the jackpots are on, and no more going without a ticket because they forgot to buy it on the way home from work. Now all they do is go online and purchase a ticket via a secure server.I&#8217;m pretty sure that you can now use your PayPal account to buy your ticket.</p>
<p>If you your not a member of <a title="Get a free game just for joining." href="http://www.lotteryaffiliates.com/c/aid=3fe9e475&amp;cid=123" target="_blank">OZ lotteries</a> now is a good time to join as they&#8217;re giving away a free game to all new members. Once a member you also have the added advantage of not having to worry about forgetting to check or lose your ticket as you&#8217;ll get email notification as to how lucky you were. It&#8217;s also a breeze checking it online as all the winning numbers are highlighted for you. It&#8217;s great, so if you have yet become a member now could be a great time to join the gang and have a shot at the $40 million prize pool.</p>

<p>I remember well not so long ago when Kevin Rudd won the election how he was the flavor of the month. The guy could do no wrong because the Australian public was so forgiving. But there is only so much even a tolerant Aussie can stand and it seems that good old Kevin has broken one promise too many. Come to think of it I can&#8217;t think of any promise that he has kept.</p>
<p>Probably the only good thing he did was when he said sorry for the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/13/australia">stolen generation</a>, but that&#8217;s about as far as that went because as far as I can tell he hasn&#8217;t done anything to put the plight of Aborigines to right. It seems that even though he promised to do a yearly report on the progress in closing the quality-of-life gap between Aborigines and other Australians he as failed to do so.</p>

<p>The fact is that Kevin and the Labor party have really turned out to be a dud. He&#8217;s so unpopular at the moment that there&#8217;s rumors his party want to replace him. Funny thing is that without Rudd they never would have won the election in the first place. That&#8217;s gratitude for you.</p>
<p>In case your wondering how long the list of broken promises is it&#8217;s huge. There&#8217;s even a <a href="http://getup.org.au/promisewatch/">site</a> devoted to keeping track of their broken promises. Don&#8217;t be surprised if it&#8217;s offline when you go to check because he&#8217;s breaking them so fast they may be in the process of updating the site.</p>
<p>I found this cartoon that highlights some of the more popular promises, one that I hope you will enjoy.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="260" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vyWQqU12YxM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="260" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vyWQqU12YxM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>The thing that one has to remember coming up to the next election is not just the broken promises but the fact that a lot of their policies, like the latest super tax on the mining companies, is doing the country more harm than good.</p>

<p><img class="lmbbox_smileys_img" src="http://www.loadofbullshit.com/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-smileys/smileys/tb/lol.gif" alt=":lol_tb:" /> I&#8217;m sorry, but this email I got today is just too much, I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh while I was reading it. To think that the moron who wrote it would actually think that there would be a bigger moron out there who would fall for it.

<p>This is obviously one of those phishing emails and it&#8217;s also obvious that it&#8217;s using what they feel to be an authoritative source  to elicit this information from the recipient.  The thing is you can&#8217;t help but laugh at the complete idiocy of it all.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I reckon there will be those thinking of the easy money factor who will fall for this, DON&#8221;T YOU BE ONE OF THEM. Oh as for the threats contained within this email they are nothing if not idle.</p>
<p>Now, sit back and enjoy the utter nonsense of it all.</p>

<p>Although the facts that most Governments have know idea how to spend money wisely the Labor Government seems to be worse at it than most. Just today I got a lovely glossy nicely folded colour brochure with the bold words &#8220;Someone who&#8217;s working for us&#8221; printed on the front.</p>
<p>Upon opening it I found it was from the Labor candidate, Nick Champion but for the life of me I couldn&#8217;t work out why this unnecessary expense when we&#8217;ve just had the State elections not that long ago. Upon reading it I noticed Rudd&#8217;s name all over it and so it all became clear, they&#8217;ve started early, leading up to the Federal elections.</p>
<p>Sure it could be because I lean towards the Liberals, but I found a lot of it to be full of crap.  There was one section where it proclaimed; &#8220;Working with Kevin Rudd to build a better future for families.&#8221; It then goes on to say, &#8220;Here are just some of the achievements of the Rudd Government in the last two years.&#8221; OK, let&#8217;s have a look at those shall we?</p>
<blockquote><p>Acting decisively to support jobs, tradespeople and small business during the Global recessiom.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah, they did that really well didn&#8217;t they? This no doubt includes Rudd&#8217;s massive insulation roll out which was done without the proper planning causing the death of several people and many house fires. Now it&#8217;s going to cost the <a title="Huge bungle this one" href="http://www.news.com.au/national/billion-to-fix-rudds-insulation-debacle/story-e6frfkvr-1225857181895" target="_blank">tax payer billions</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Record infrastructure investment including the largest schools building program ever.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah this is probably referring to his bullshit <a title="What a joke that turned out to be" href="http://www.loadofbullshit.com/2010/04/12/rudds-education-revolution-a-bloody-disgrace/" target="_blank">Education Revolution</a>. This was so poorly planned that not only did we over pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per school many of them didn&#8217;t even get the buildings they needed, instead they received buildings that were of no use to them.</p>
<blockquote><p>Funding 1000 new nurse training places and a 35% increase in GP training to address a shortage of GPs</p></blockquote>
<p>This was a good policy on there part so I&#8217;ll give them that.</p>
<blockquote><p>Investing in new cancer research and treatment centres</p></blockquote>
<p>Another good move on their part.</p>
<blockquote><p>Supporting investment in solar and wind power to protect our environment for future generations.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sorry, this type of electricity does nothing for the base load and only works when wind or sun exists, not to mention that wind power is very costly. I would suggest we take the bold move of going nuclear.</p>
<blockquote><p>Abolishing WorkChoices and restoring fairness to the workplace</p></blockquote>
<p>Not sure how accurate this is. While it seems that the workers may get a fairer deal it would only be at the cost of the employer and may actually speed up the rate of employers moving their operations overseas. Once that happens where&#8217;s the jobs coming from then?</p>
<p>Honestly Nick, rather than wasting tax payers money perhaps it would be better to get off your ass and mingle with the community. Find out what they need and work toward it even if it means going against your cronies.</p>

<p>I would like you to read an email that I&#8217;ve just received.  Although it&#8217;s obvious that this email is an attempt at gaining the recipients private details and therefore falls in the phishing category it does have a few differences. The main one would have to be the fact that it refers to a natural disaster, supplying links to several newsworthy sites as if that alone would substantiate the credibility of the email, which caused the demise of some wealthy businessman who left $25.5 deposited in their bank.</p>
<p>Naturally this guy is willing to send you the money once you send him your details. Of course it&#8217;s bullshit, so if you&#8217;ve received the following email do yourself a favor and delete it.</p>
<blockquote><p>Greetings!</p>
<p>It is understandable that you might be a little bit  apprehensive because<br />
you do not know me, Please forgive this unusual manner  to contact you, but<br />

<p>I know that after reading this post there will be some Labor supporters who will accuse me of being a Liberal who had nothing better to do than find fault with Labor. Come off it guys, is it my fault that they keep supplying me with ammunition to go target shooting? Besides, it&#8217;s not like I don&#8217;t publish articles when the Liberal party come up with bullshit, as can be seen from my <a title="Bloody idiot" href="http://www.loadofbullshit.com/2010/03/13/tony-abbott-gets-maternity-leave-all-wrong/" target="_blank">Tony Abbott Gets Maternity Leave All Wrong</a> post.</p>
<p>But this post isn&#8217;t about them, it&#8217;s about the mistakes the current Government is making. It&#8217;s been my experience that the Labor party loves to spend money and they have no control over it. Every time they get in power they put the country into a huge debt whcih the Liberals have to get us out of. Naturally that&#8217;s a painful experience for the populace and so the Liberals get kicked out and it starts all over again.</p>
<p>You may remember my post <a title="Which we'll be paying for, for years to come" href="http://www.loadofbullshit.com/2009/05/08/kevin-rudd-and-wayne-swan-billion-dollar-debt/" target="_blank">Kevin Rudd And Wayne Swan = Billion Dollar Debt</a> where Swan tries to defend their position using the global recession as an excuse. When the world&#8217;s financial crisis came into being most Governments  panicked including ours. Instead of studying the situation properly they acted with a knee jerk reaction wasting millions of dollars. This can be seen in the first, and subsequent stimulus packages, where lack of planning saw them giving money to <a title="morons," href="http://www.loadofbullshit.com/2009/03/17/kevin-rudd-wants-the-dead-to-stimulate-the-economy/" target="_blank">dead people</a>, pets, people in jail and people overseas. How the hell was that supposed to stimulate the economy?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not forget the &#8216;insulation scheme&#8217; fiasco, another of Labor&#8217;s attempts to stimulate the economy by stimulating the building trade. The trouble was they didn&#8217;t take the time to formulate the plan properly meaning that millions was wasted, but worse than that people&#8217;s lives were put at risk by shoddy workmanship. Even though there were warning bells the Government ignored them and it wasn&#8217;t until people started dying as a result that they reacted. Rudd punishes <a title="Oops, Sorry " href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/rudd-punishes-garrett-over-home-insulation-scheme-fiasco/story-e6frg6xf-1225834871731" target="_blank">Garrett</a> over the fiasco saying sorry, he seems to love that word, as if the makes it all OK.</p>
<p>The thing is that it actually is<a title="too little too late" href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/batt-fiasco-is-pms-fault/story-e6frfhqf-1225833597182" target="_blank"> Rudd&#8217;s fault</a> and he didn&#8217;t have a choice but to take the blame because he should have sacked Garret ages ago instead of protecting one of his ministers hoping that the whole thing will go away.</p>
<p>Enough of that, this post is about the latest fiasco which is to do with Labor&#8217;s so called education revolution. According to some the education fiasco is the cause of Labor&#8217;s <a title="as usual" href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/lack-of-interest-caused-schools-fiasco/story-e6frg6nf-1225851125395" target="_blank">lack of interest</a> in monitoring the plan. They seem to just pull a plan out of thin air without any forethought of how to implement it or to check on the States to see that they&#8217;re going about it properly. Naturally this results in countless of millions of dollars being wasted, which seems to be the norm when Labor is holding the reins, or perhaps that should be noose around our necks.</p>
<p>Just one example of how the money has been wasted is the $2 million spent on a <a title="more money wasted" href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/school-hall-cant-fit-them-all-despite-costing-2-million/story-e6freuy9-1225842575116" target="_blank">school hall at Wollongong</a> that won&#8217;t even accommodate the students at the school.  Naturally the parents are furious at the waste of money and they want someone to be accountable.</p>
<p>Then there is the <a title="No worries Rudd there's lots more where that came from " href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/in-depth/schools-watch/hall-for-remote-yulga-jinna-remote-community-school-a-waste/story-fn56ulhe-1225737992832" target="_blank">$250,000 hall for the remote Yulga Jinna Remote Community</a> which was deemed a waste of money. They didn&#8217;t need a hall, what they needed was somewhere for the teachers to stay. Without proper accommodations it was extremely difficult in getting teachers to remain at the school. Does the government listen to the community, nope they&#8217;re more content in wasting money than in taking the time to spend it wisely.</p>
<p>What about the school that had one pupil but was given <a title="Sheer stupidity" href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/school-with-one-child-to-get-250k/story-e6frgcpf-1225768991850" target="_blank">$250000 for a new library</a>, shit, they&#8217;re even giving money to schools that are going to close down soon. If that isn&#8217;t a waste I don&#8217;t know what is. It seems that even <a title="I'm speachless" href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/in-depth/schools-watch/something-not-adding-up-over-high-cost-of-shade/story-fn56ulhe-1225847169781" target="_blank">shade</a> costs money, but it&#8217;s not so much the shade as the fees structure in providing it. How can you put your trust in a government who can&#8217;t control how their money is spent. If a business was to do this they would have gone broke a long time ago, but the government seems to have a money tree that is forever blooming, that tree is called the Tax Payer.</p>
<p>This is just a few examples on how our money is being mismanaged and it has got to stop. I know there are many more examples and if you know of any others where the Governments BER (<strong>Building The Education Revolution</strong>) is being wasted please leave a comment with a link, if possible, to the relevant article.</p>

<p>This next email is kind of interesting as it from some moron claiming to be Chief Accountant/Internal Auditor of the Contract Award  Committee( CAC  ) of the Nigerian National Petroleum in Nigeria, as if coming from Nigeria wouldn&#8217;t set off alarm bells?</p>
<p>Anyway it&#8217;s pretty well a generic email directed at a his / her type recipient. Strange that he doesn&#8217;t know the sex of the person seeing as how he claims that  he got the &#8220;address from adverts in the business directory that portrayed your  establishment  in good light.&#8221; Yeah right.</p>
<blockquote><p>From Dr.Rex Lawson Uke</p>
<p>Dear Sir/Madam,</p>
<p>REQUEST FOR AN URGENT  CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.</p>
<p>After due deliberation with my  colleagues, I have decided to forward to you this business proposal. We want a  reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of Twenty Million Five  Hundred thousand United States Dollars ($20,500,000) into his / her  account.<br />
This fund resulted by way of gratification from a contract awarded  by us under the budget allocation to my Ministry and this bill has been approved  for payment by the concerned Ministries.</p>
<p>The contract has since been  executed, commissioned and the contractors company, paid off. We are left with  the balance of US$20.5M which was given to us by the company for influencing the  contract in their favour amidst heavy competition from rival companies. But  under our protocol division, civil servants are forbidden to operate or own  foreign accounts this is why I am contacting you to be our custodian for this  fund.</p>
<p>As you may want to know and to make you less curious, I got your  address from adverts in the business directory that portrayed your establishment  in good light. I am the Chief Accountant/Internal Auditor of the Contract Award  Committee( CAC )of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC).This  transaction is very much free from all sorts of RISKS and TROUBLE from my  government. We the N.N.P.C. Officials involved in this deal have put in many  years in service to this Ministry.</p>
<p>We have been exercising patience for  this opportunity for so long and to most of us this is a life time opportunity  we cannot afford to miss. You need not to worry about the responsibilities of  transferring this fund into your account, for all the administrative steps  needed for the transfer of this fund into your designated bank account will be  done by me. I and my colleagues have agreed to COMPENSATE you duly if agreement  is reached by both of us. I and one of my colleagues involved in this deal will  come to your country to arrange for our share, upon the confirmation from you  that the money has been credited into your nominated bank account.</p>
<p>We  have agreed to offer you 25% of the transferred sum, where 10% shall be set  aside for incidental expenses (Internal and External) between in the course of  the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance to other account in  due course. Consequent upon your acceptance of this proposal, kindly confirm  your interest by, your indication by revert Telephone to me of your sincere and  serious interest will enable me fax you the PROCEDURE FOR OPERATION. If my line  is busy, please keep trying you will surely get through.</p>
<p>NOTE: In the  event of your inability to handle this transaction please inform us so that we  can look for another reliable person who can assist in this respect. It might  surprise you why we choose you and trusted you for this  transaction.</p>
<p>Yes, we believe that good friends can be discovered and  business like this can not be realized without trust. This is why we have  decided to trust you for this transaction. We are looking forward to doing this  transaction with you. Be further informed that every ones interest and security  had been considered before you were contacted, so be rest assured and feel free  to go into this transaction with us.</p>

<p>Thank you and God bless.</p>
<p>Best Regards,<br />
Dr.Rex  Lawson Uke</p></blockquote>
<p>Again, it&#8217;s just phishing for personal information so that it can start the next leg of the campaign to rob you blind. This is another of those bullshit emails that you should delete immediately.</p>
