A predicted bushfire royal commission outcome

Shortly after Black Saturday it was rumoured that rivalry between the Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) resulted in CFA management preventing MFB firefighters, as well professional CFA firefighters mostly deployed in urban and regional centres, from fturning out at the bushfires.

These rumours have now become accusations by the United Firefighters Union which claims CFA management of blocking Metropolitan Fire Brigade and CFA professional firefighters, and incompetently handling the fires.

The union, which will put these claims to the royal commission, also accuses CFA management of panicking and being ill-prepared despite knowing the conditions on February 7 would be the worst in the state’s history.

While CFA volunteers are idolised in this state, the United Firefighters Union not surprisingly sees them against the best interest of its paid members. This is a muck raking union which often thrives on fear to get it’s way, yet unlike most trade unions it is above critical scrutiny because of the noble profession it represents.

Whether or not the union claims stack up at the royal commission, the relationship between both fire services will come under scrutiny and I reckon one of the findings will be to amalgamate the CFA and MFB into one service, as is the case across the border where the NSW Fire Brigades oversees the operation of metro firefighting services and the mostly volunteer based NSW Rural Fire Brigade.

A simular restructure has occurred with Victoria’s Ambulance Service. It would require a significant change in state legislation which needs to be looked at in any case considering that CFA is now responsible for a large slice of metropolitan Melbourne – a role which under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 No. 6228 it was not intended for.

If  implemented properly amalgation would prevent turf wars, communication issues, double handling, standardisation of equipment and streamlined management structures.

Let’s hunt some Herald Sun-reading fucktards shall we

Tell me the Herald Sun did not publish this story to stir up more racial hatred against Muslims, as if the poor bastards haven’t suffered enough of it this week. Note how they illustrate the story with women in Burkhas, which trades on people’s fear and prejudices against Islam – why not a pic of a mosque?

The article, about Muslims leaving regional Victorian cities like Warrnambool because there were no mosques in which to worship, sparked the usual fucktard comments along the lines of “if they don’t like it they should go home”.

The story mentions how the Islamic Council of Victoria wants ”to lobby the local council about building a mosque in Warrnambool”. While this could mean getting planning approval to build a mosque without being subjected to hysterical xenophobic objections, most readers who commented saw this as a request for the council to build a mosque. Of course you can imagine the comments that came with that.

So, I have loaded my AK-47, the semi-automatic rifle of choice for communists and Islamic insurgents and have trawled through the comments to put large gaping exit wounds through the orgy of fucktardery, ignorance and xenophobia that the Herald Sun’s online editor has proudly cultivated.

Let’s lock and load.

Now imagine if i was in Saudi Arabia whinging that I wanted to build a church. They would be off with my head..talk about double standards and hypocrisy. Don’t like it, move back to Mecca..simple!

How funny, you use the name Habibi but that’s not your real name is it? It’s a fun name because you actually hate Muslims. If your post was against blacks you would have used the name Jigaboo, or Hymie if you dared be as anti-Semetic as you are anti-Islam. Actually the Saudi’s have agreed to build a Catholic church in their country after King Abdullah met the Pope a few months ago. And guess what, the Pope still has his head, which is more than I can say about you, you brainless cunt! Also Mecca isn’t where most Muslims actually come from. That would be like telling you to go back to the Deni Ute Muster, you stupid redneck fuck!

Muslims in Australia are lobbying for mosques! Count yourselves extremely lucky in this great land of freedom where you all can practise FREEDOM. Take a look at people of other faiths in many of those predominantly muslim countries, they have no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, even no freedom of dress code. They interfere with how non- muslims dress up, they consider their own way of doing things as the best and the most holy. Anybody who is not a muslim is discriminated against. Their religion is just SKIN DEEP. The Camden incident is a true reflection of democracy and freedom at work, people can vote for what they believe in and practise fair go for the Camden residents. Muslims should not retaliate because your actions speak louder than your belief. Respect the voice of the Camden community, this is Australia not the country from where you came from. Otherwise you can never have a good reputation anywhere in this globe.

Thomas is your married name isn’t it. You’re Kate McCulloch’s stupid sister aren’t you, you fucked up ingnorant bitch. Get your fucking facts right before mouthing off about Muslims. As for Camden what the fuck are you on about? What Muslims have spoken out or retaliated against the Camden community, despite the disgraceful treatment they received for wanting to build a school. All these people want is a mosque to queitly worship in, not to tell you or me how to dress – though I’m sure a full face Burkha would probably do you wonders you fucked-up ugly bitch.

I believe everyone has their own religion. However, religion is something you should keep it at home not expose to the pubilc. I agree with Cynthia that people came to Australia because it’s a democrary and a peaceful country, therefore, if they can’t integrate into this culture, then they might as well go back to where they came from. This is not racists but realistic. Just like when you come to someone house, you have to follow their rules not you set the rule. You would not like it if they do that to you, right?

Wrong, you ironically named fuckwit. What does wanting to pray have to do with not assimmilating and destrying the peace? How is being a Muslim not intergrating when so many other religions are accepted? And what the fuck are you going on about exposing one’s religion to the public by building a mosque – have you heard of churches, synagogues and temples you fucking dumb prick? Get fucked and catch syphallis.

When a mosque is built, the land it is built on becomes islamic land. I dont think we would want victoria becoming a Muslim State. it is happening to London, UK also. Google it.

The Dumb Cunt club needs a new constitution, a bit like the USA, where the same person can’t be elected Dumb Cunt President for more than eight years running because, John of Melbourne, I’m sure even you are sick of continually being voted the most supreme dumb cunt of all, you dumb cunt. For the record, the UK’s Muslim population makes up just 2.8 per cent of the population – Google it. The Queen better buy a burkha real soon.

One of our family friends is a Muslim doctor from Egypt. He’s been in the country for years and is a very well respected member of his community. No mosque either. A mosque is not necessary for the pursuit of Islam as a religion. And cynthia, you’re wrong. Muslims don’t like democracy – it’s the antithesis to the totalitarian society advocated by their religion. They do like our wide open spaces with it’s trillions of dollars of mineral resources though…

I see, by telling us you have a Muslim friend you want us to believe you’re enlightened, yet that Amazon tribe that shot bows and arrows at the helicopter last week are more aware than you Shane – gee, that’s a nice name. So Muslims don’t like democracy hey Shanee – fuck man, what are countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Malayisa, Maldives, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Chad, Djibouti, Albania, Kosovo and Turkey doing wrong? Now go away quickly, you’re shitting me.

What utter crap, You simply cannot move to another country or area and then complain that it is not to your liking. Our village doesn’t even have a proper bus service, let alone a mosque, so how about giving us some decent public transport and then these whingers can use it to leave and go somewhere else.

All these people are saying is that why would prefer to live in a town with a mosque so they can attend their Friday prayers. Why does that piss you off so much Ian? Go take some happy pills, in fact take the whole fuckin’ bottle shithead!

Maybe they should’ve done their homework before they came to Oz.

Yeah you’re spot on ar. If THEY knew about the hate they’d be subjected to without any of our political leaders having the guts to stand up for them for fear of losing the popular vote they might have chosen New Zealand or Canada instead. You Fuck knuckle! Also, anyone who calls Australia Oz, is a cunt.

Liberal rat jumps a second time

 

Liberal Senator Peter McGauran has announced his resignation after lying about his decision to leave politics, for a plum job in the racing industry, earlier this week.

This is the second time McGauran has shown contempt for the people of Gippsland, who originally voted him in as a National Party MP before he jumped ship to the Liberal’s in 2006 with John Howard’s backing, doing his old party severe damage in Victoria.

Now he stuck his fingers up at the people of Gippsland again by not serving a full time.

Get fucked and good riddance, you sleazy piece of shit.

The things you see watching TV! #1

There I was with my daughter snuggled up on the couch watching Geelong bend over and sodomise Essendon and once again leaving Matthew Lloyd goalless. So, what could there to complain about?

Nothing as far as the footy is concerned, but when you’re sitting there watching any program with your children do you have to be subjected to road safety ads showing the aftermath of motorcycle ads, including “hands that look like they’ve been through a blender”?

I know it’s not the real thing, and the ads are there to serve a purpose, but it’s a bit much for kids to put up with.

Lollipop people rationalists suck!

In an unbelievable piece of mean-spirited, ham fisted and really stupid bureaucratic posturing, Victoria’s councils and VicRoads made public their plan to replace school crossing supervisers, better known as lollipop people, with flashing lights. Unbeknown to many, lollipop people actually receive a token wage for their troubles, yet some councils and Vicroads thought that this was getting a bit too much. 

I can see how the idea came up. Some bean counter was probably caught in traffic one morning and noticed how the lillipop lady at his local school pushed the button for the traffic lights to turn red and then walked in the middle of the road, flashed her lollipop sign to oncoming traffic and blew her whistle to allow the children briefly in her care to cross carefully.

While any warm blooded human being would praise such people for braving traffic – especially dickhead tradesmen who think a fluro vest and ute makes you immune to having to adhere to a 40km speed limit – this arsehole thought: “Hmm, surely the kids can press the button and we’ll save a few million precious dollars every year,” before wondering why he had trouble farting through his pin-hole of an anus.

Governments don’t know shit about buying stuff

Why are governments so stupid when it comes to acquisitions? How hard is it to by an anti-submarine helicopter or a public transport smart card system? OK, so they’re a complex bit of kit, but it’s not like we’ll be the first to use them. So why don’t they just copy somene else?

Last year we had a new driveway laid. The first thing I did was ask friends who had concreting done if they would recommend their concreter. I also asked my brother in law, who works at a readymix concrete place, if he could recommend good concreters. Armed with several names I asked for quotes and made my choice based on which tradesman I felt most comfortable with, while being reasonably priced (but by no means the cheapest). The project was on time and on budget.

However, if my household was the Victorian or Australian Government I would have:
