More quickfix madness from those who are desperately failing to use our money well .

  Rob Sitch is at pains  IN UTOPIA  ABC  to remind the twits in charge of our Building Australia that they are so cringeworthy they think consultants will provide answers to  complex planning issues.

The public service used to exist to provide capable dependable reliable advice ( that is judging the consultants not the other way around ) for all the people . Now its a free for all ; nimbys , foxes in charge of chicken coupes and  long  waits to delight those who now get a free feed form the public purse  because they know  more abou  the passing  prey  than our innocent of evil polys . 

See the mess and evil  that Wyatt and Western Australia are creating by trying to control producers using consultants- people whose qualifications to control must always be able to be questioned by the public justice system. , 

this time around its aboriginal heritage areas "  Well trained inhouse agents in regional area would not only be a lot cheaper but have the big advantage of being credible and decisive without all the reams of paperwork  . 

How did we become victims of the new wolves of minority interests ? 

" The threat to sound decision making from unstable coalitions involving ignorant and inexperienced lobbyists is now a worldwide concern in the West .

Prominent British intellectual AC Grayling describes very well in two recent books ( "Democracy in Crisis" and "The Good State ") how many Western Governments are making quick fix decisions that don't work. He makes the point by just describing : "The Brexit / Boris mistake" (driven sadly by a referendum that went wrong ) and the unstable Trump/ Democrats means of not making decisions that finally make sense to the people.

Most of my clients in the bush have given up on the ruling parties years ago . We need our young , less worn out people to represent them and sound science in practice as they have already done with showing the way in egg and Australian produce marketing choices .- broadening the economics/ ecological principles debate. Thankfully not all our young people take the simple Marxist line . See UTOPIA ABC this week .

Most farmers and producers of this country usually don't have the energy for email and the internet; they too are without a VOICE .@Representing South West Victoria

They live the dream at our expense

One day Daniel Andrews will have to face the fact that he is a stooge  for the incompetent,  the fearful and the impractical. The only reason those types survive in power is because he is so nice and the city have a stranglehold on logic - Labor has become the great Australian stooge party .
History will not be kind to their complete incompetence and radical runaway reactive approach to everything . 
Lisa Neville is pushed to make water because Andrews team and tradition led down to a meltdown of logic on water --- and have big bills to pay ., The realization that OUR subsidies for solar are benefiting the rich has only just hit them   For all their comfortable time in power not one word in favor of incineration . Oh no we would rather just be frightened and stay frightened and worried  with greenlabor.
Don't dare give our children a job in engineering solutions to environment risk - that would be forbotten .
We can t use word s like incineration or base load power and reasonable cost  - better to export our rubbish and make everyone pay for our self righteous crap
  . Labor when they are not just stunned,  are afraid to move . so afraid to be seen stuck they move somewhere - somewhere worse . They end up costing the earth and creating the biggest Nimbyism  known in modern  time. We export the risk .


1st August LABOR's three Federal stooges ( there are more )  are desperate and desperately shallow in their thinking and compromised weak and unconvincing in their coalitions with the real world . Never get a job outside . 
Fancy failing to see their resistance to free speech YESTERDAY is a sign of their own inability to deal with a robust discussion. 

Moral Compass or Moral Confusion

We all like to present solutions to others problems . Noone takes that more seriously now than- the reactionaries in government and the ABC. All  thanks to the inevitable failure of reactionary politics over the last 100 years,  
The Fabians have only the government to back their ideas .Noone else wants to put their money forward. Their tired old doctrines of "freedom for all"," pull it down" "it will all adapt and survive" : have no life of their own outside  biology ( unless you the reader want us to be limited to the animal in us ?)
Infact the downright condemnation of man ( He s not only an animal , he's determined by his genes and behaviur =subject to condemnation ) which they imply,  leaves only one alternative - governments must be good --( get a job with them and they will convert you/bless you? ?)Congratulations authors of "Utopia"!
If they aren't able to provide redemption all our hopes for the future are dashed and we would have to admit depression and defeat - the failure of the God of wise Progress.
No where is this symbolized better than  in the name changing , the name calling and the judging 
So deep is the confusion about what sin is and what intent means that even Luke Hodge is confused about what he is guilty of TODAY . he hurt somebody - doesn't seem to matter that he didn't mean to. He apologized , but we or he don't seem to know what for . If we can't play a game of football and judge it fairly,  what hope  have we in real life ?
Yes he hit someone,  but some other bloke who got $50 million to do the same in a ring - judging motivation is for you and God or it used to be .Some people even look good when they mean evil . Thats of course too deep for those linked into evidence based drips .  Progress (WGP ) may now mean It is NOW possible for man - gospel of progress has a way of legitimizing TODAY - if nothing else
This confusion  ( to judge others minds and bodies)-can't last without putting us all in jail -No new redemption now works in the West anymore .

Penecost thankfully is coming.   

What good can a good pedant DO ?

 Human nature is pretty scary.  'The wolf can , not only be a pedant, but that pedant can be up there at the top of the tree ".  It is said with some truth that .... If you can't DO... you teach and if you can't teach, .. you preach , if you can't preach ( and don't know HOW to DO things to test your grasp of the big picture ) you risk becoming a pedant . I used to say that  if you can't be a good lawyer ,you may be able to continue your profession and become a professional pedant correcting and controlling word traffic at the ABC.  I'm inclined , after seeing UTOPIA , to  not generalize so wildly. Some of the real reporters in the ABC  do a great job as RN , Utopia, Kath, Blake and Mother &Son 2 name just a few shows    
Sitch and Co in  UTOPIA ABCTV have proven, quite perfectly ,that not only can you be a pedant at the ABC, but you can be a very productive and professional one - make em eat their words son!   While Sitch makes mince meat of the simple  nonsense that flows from above  there is some hope for this country ;Our leaders have adopted the dumb making idol of positivism ( find your own word )  and they don't even know it . The new religion,  while rejecting the old for ITS apparent unreasonability (A quite logical observation about Christianity )is itself , quite clearly  unreasonable .You don't wanna hear the other side of the story. Progressives want only one kind of reason to rule - the positive stuff  . How did we get to agree to performance bull like that so well portrayed in Utopia  and get led by those leaders who cultivate crap. Its a world where  negative reasoning (which often avoids culdesacs by highlighting choice and 'other possibilities" the bad new s before the good news  ) is rejected because its " you are not being positive" .  We may ,as applied practical scientists. have  lost our jobs to the meeters and greeters , one siders ,name-callers, pregressives and worry warriors,  but at least when we go home from the battle, and  know we are not alone . 
I wish it wasn't so because the wonder of the program is that it shows how hard it can be for people who want to do the job and challenge the limits of public and private benefit and the boundaries between and beyond the machine ,  the natural and the ultimately the beautiful image , 
Its a tragedy of our modern education and training system that graduates in environmental engineering never get to cut it where it counts because of the name calling and second rate science produced on the good name of conservation and environment.( some biology degrees are just not enough or  appropriate)  If you don't love physics and chemistry ( the basis of how it works ; not biology which is descriptive )you can't sell it to the "thems that do "audience -   .People who can't cope  with more than one equation at a time will be for ever meeting ( 1st edition Utopia was real) , moving on ( not making decisions or quickfizzers of ones ) and making the audience do the same.  The pedants comfort zone 

Hope the polys watching realize that they must resist the cultivation of more bird nests for these flighty birds and forest feeding animals.These people who occupy chairs but who will soon be on their own.( the image) You see faith in the new too is unreasonable as Whitehead tried to point out long time ago . Why don't you run a meredescription.blogspot.com test on all the research you are now funding Mr Hockey / Mr Robb?  That would be more prophetic than the reactive productivity commission.  Reform the system .Reform the ABC  Aim high . Employ people who study the basic science and know how things actually work.  Don't let those who think they know the names of the problem try and solve them ( the species list is more than symbolic - its a book that closes doors instead of opening them)  such name calling is quick and short and appelaing but not whats needed to run a clever country . Start believing again in the public service because  the private driver pedant is killing the cultivation of the image of what a good public outcome looks like ( bigger picture than private and somewhere beyond the flat ( concrete ) and the basic ). 
Only by training people properly in house can WE hold a proper public -private debate and restore young people to the jobs that helped make planning work and AGAIN give them a job  building one the most livable cities and places in the world
