Re: nurses pay
#33 I tried 3 months ago to get a postal vote and still haven’t got. Due to my change of address caused complications and the forms filled in had to go to Sydney or Canberra or somewhere , and obviously weren’t going to get back in time. So yesterday we went to a voting booth and voted for the area we vacated in August. My lifetime at sea has given me a different outlook on life when it comes to shore qualities and it sticks up like a sore thumb or some other part of a bodily function just how so slow people are ashore. Especially government departments. They don’t even move fast enough in tragic and disasteruous situations , all they seem to be able to do , is have a meeting about it , and maybe a Queens commission at the end of it. A massive failing on life ashore , and really unreal if you have ever experienced it. I hope your premier didn’t lose too much of the contents of the beer cans, and someone took back to the depot to get the 10 cents back per can. Jildy jildy to those who speak the lascar lingo, and keep the Asti Asti for those able to hobble on a bit faster.cheers JS.

Re: nurses pay
So true John.
Time for polis has no meaning, take all the time they want and all the money. Plenty more where that came from just add another tax.
We had bad bush firs here over 12 months ago, many still waiting for the gov assistance promised.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
