The war is on with local government

Raphael Epstein of ABC's  #774melbourne asked what the issues are this election when he visited the safe territory of sea change territory in Torquay last week .
I said one really hot issues you won't  hear a lot of is the  cocooning of highly paid administrators  from the real world ,the fly in  fly out nonsense perpetuated by conservation incompetence is killing people and bloating the public service. The city in the form of Green brilliance think they know what's needed out here ."That lovely light green in not natural - we need more trees " 
The media incorrectly think that if they hear no noise,  there is no problem . What they don't hear is that the screaming has stopped long ago ( Corangamite  National Party met last over 7 years ago )
 In my profession , if people go quiet its a dangerous time not a " no problem " time . Its a time that reminds me why the suicide rate amongst farmers is so high  and all why many more will die quietly --.
there is no bigger trigger to this mental madness that someone is who isn't listening .The city isn't really listening to the country so they wouldn't know that the Greens don't know what they are trying to do there either.

The Greens aren't listening
. I know because I know R. Di Natalie . He lives on a hill in our area  and looks down preoccupied with his own thoughts and ideas about how to look after the great earth that is before him . .
Only one man ( Ian Turnbull)shot the messenger from the ignorant Green alliance this year  ( Moree)  but many felt like it .(I know one who died tried to explain why a shire employee was talking rubbish only a few years ago . The Green party messengers get shot ,while the emperors and their bureaus  free ! UtopiaABC  should be compulsory viewing on the  que in to the booths .

"Lock the gates" is how we feel about the pressures out West . We try to talk to these people but they don't talk to us - they talk at us , The new evangelists they read chapters and verse out of the Greens bible about how to get  nirvana on earth  and why we can no longer weed our gardens 

The Torquay  cats might be fed Optima ( which does contain cream)  but my friends at this time are on obstetrics duty to over 200 cows . While they are busy caring  and watching  em in the nights before and after , they don't need animal justice people criticizing them on the steps of parliament when we wanna be heard  about 14 cents per litre for milk there  .

The hypocrisy is blatant,
Labor candidate Libby Coker is part of the team at Surfcoast Shire .So much so that they have offered he her job back if she fails to be elected (I don't think thats right and have sent a note to AEC) .
SurfCoast leadership team seems to be laws unto themselves with over 400 employees .

The growing base of unaccountability in Regional areas

WE note with profound regret that people who we can't talk to,  get people underneath them  so that poor ignorant well intentioned raw recruits WILL then  risk their lives at the interface; . not unreasonably there are a lot of casualties and lots of growth in Shire employees .



I can only hope the voting public think a bit more deeply that they often do when faced with well painted and nice talk that covers a multitude  of rubbish . At least the majors on't expect to get their way like the growing numbers of pesky children in the upper houses .

I've got work to do and even tough its tough and  its raining i 'll get out there and show I care !
