Zero Credibility!

The regular articles in the “Shepparton News” featuring interviews with community leaders about their views on climate change have in the main been informative and interesting, but the latest one on February 4th which features National Party MP...

The Christmas Spirit

As we hurtle headlong into another Christmas let us pause and reflect on our City Council’s free parking trial in the CBD over the months of December and January. Anecdotal evidence suggests the free parking is being very well received by shoppers...

Good news on the virus and me!

The Boss is worried about this coronavirus and he shouldn’t be - I’ve been trying to re-assure him. The fact is, I’m not going to get it. This COVID-19 goes from animals to humans, rather than the other way round, so dogs everywhere are...

Bones by drones is the go!

I’ve been giving these drones a bit of thought, lately. Ever since I overheard The Boss having a laugh about the Queensland feller stuck on that cruise ship in Japan. Dave and Jan Binskin from Palm Beach were aboard the Diamond Princess when it...

Mothers can get on your case

My mailbox is full again this week – this virus is keeping people at home with nothing much to do, except pester me. But I did feel for this bloke: Dear General I am a grown man in my fifties with a good job, a wife and two kids finishing school...

COVID-19: A Meeting of the Minds

I had a rare moment of clarity the other day - an epiphany of sorts - while performing the downward dog yoga pose as part of my morning exercise routine, and it was this: humans are becoming more like us. Given the unquestionable superiority of the...

Mailbox: Be the person your dog thinks you are!

Well, it was The Boss actually. He pointed out I hadn’t been answering my mail lately so I thought I had better catch up. Here’s the best of the litter over the last month or so: Dear General, My dog is usually happy to see me get home from work but...

Hi everyone, I just thought I would share with you the response I received from Cr Seema Abdullah with regard to my recent blog on Rubbish dumping and hard rubbish collections and call for council to declare a climate emergency. Feel free to add...

God Help Us

Today I was going to talk about the incompetent minister for (rising) emissions, Angus Taylor. Yes the man of Watergate, Grassgate and Clovergate fame. The man who continuously lied to Barrie Cassidy on “Insiders” a few months ago when asked about...

Council should introduce hard rubbish collection

This is the latest rubbish dumping effort in the Goulburn River precinct. This problem has been going on for years. I wrote about it in my manifesto last year and called for Greater Shepparton City Council to (among other things) give a free tip...

What a load of Rubbish!

The latest rubbish dumping effort in the Goulburn River precinct is pictured above. I don’t know what the hell it is but its big and obviously under investigation as it is surrounded by tape. This problem has been going on for years. I wrote about...

Protest reaction is conservative hypocrisy

Conservative commentators and politicians across the country are once again engaging in breathtaking acts of hypocrisy, this time in their reaction to the Extinction Rebellion protests happening around the world. In a nutshell they claim that...

If you regularly drive the Goulburn Valley and Hume Freeways to Melbourne, I am sure there are may things that frustrate you over the journey. Among some of the frustrations one encounters, you would have to count idiots driving in the right lane...

What does the Numurkah Tyre Dump, the Illegal Toxic Waste Dumps and the Flammable Cladding scandal all have in common? Go to the top of the class if your answer was they all have, or will cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to rectify...

Responsible Gambling AFL?-You Betcha!

In the mid 1950’s there were only two places on the planet that had Poker Machines, Las Vegas and NSW. You could be forgiven for thinking you were on a different planet now when you look at the explosion of gaming machines worldwide but especially...
