Looks like the Gloucester Council will grant the Approval for the Camp!

The Gloucester Council has received hundreds of petitions of support about the camp against AGL and their plans to fracc in the Gloucester Valley.  The Deputy Mayor Mr Frank Hooke of the council said that they may have no other alternative but to approve the camp.
 The Deputy Mayor was quoted as saying "It's not improperly zoned for that purpose and if we were to reject it they (the proponents of the Development Application) could take the case to the Land and Environment Court, where it would probably be approved."
Groundswell Gloucester the action group formed to protect the Gloucester Valley has said that 
they know that Gloucester is what they call a  flashpoint for rest of NSW. "

Julie Lyford who is also the ex-mayor of Gloucester and spokesperson for Groundswell was quoted as saying
"If fracking of 330 wells goes ahead here then the rest of NSW is up for grabs with the coal seam gas industry.
"We know people are going to come, so we want to be responsible and actually contain that and have a really good camp, a really good blockade situation, so it doesn't get out of hand.
So it looks like the camp approval will go through and since the Blockade has already been called then its all going to be very above board and there will be no shenanigans.  The Camp rules have already been set down so the rest lays with that approval which will be given in approximately a fortnight when Gloucester Council meets.

There are people in the town who are offended that there is people who desire to protect the land and water of the Gloucester Valley and these people have made numerous threats towards those who are already in position making a stand against this government go ahead. 

The protectors desire to be able to show them what they know about Coal Seam Gas and then let them make their mind up.  The threats have been along the lines of running people over, throwing cow shit all over them, bashing them.  All of those comments only show how far these pro-gas people are down on the food chain of knowing the truth of the Coal Seam Gas industry and there is absolutely no consideration by these same people that money isn't everything.  There is zero evidence there is any consideration the future for us all as a humanity.  Personally I find that behaviour very disturbing.

So why don't we enjoy our nation's wealth without state borders?

The Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has once again made a dubious mistake about the Gas Situation in Australia while attempting to cover up the true state of affairs where AGL's Gloucester Gas Project is concerned.

IMG 9815
Gloucester Residents gather to appose AGL

He makes out we are running out of Gas in NSW and we have always got our gas from South Australia and they are not running out.  This is a play to bluff the people and the people are not buying the lies anymore.

Abbott is a mouthpiece of the spin doctors who actually run the country of Australia from the shadows.  Abbott does not seem bright enough to run a cake stall let alone the country in my opinion. He looks thoroughly silly with these last comments he has made absolutely contradicting himself.

The interviews which Tony Abbott gives to the media on a regular basis make me shudder with embarrassment when he opens his mouth. He never seems to know what he is speaking about and sounds very ill informed.

The voters and other politicians made fun of Pauline Hanson and her comments when she run for politics in the past, I think in hindsight what we have now is worse and he's the PM.   One must also consider that she was a fish monger and he had the best education available -- so what is his excuse?

What is his excuse for these bare faced contradictions about Gas in NSW?

Community Groups Protest the Governments Budget Cuts

Joe Hockey's budget is a complete failure to govern the people successfully.  There has not been very many good decisions made.  Hockey won't live down the comment about poor people and driving and before their term is up there will be more of those.  Hundreds of community groups went to Canberra to show the coalition government the budget cuts are unjust and harsh.  They signed a statement and the statement read.
IMG 7929
"We do not accept that these measures are necessary to achieve budget sustainability when fairer alternatives exist"
"Our Parliament has a choice between harmful and helpful action.
"We urge all elected members of Parliament to reject current proposals which will reduce support to low income and disadvantaged members of our community."  Read More ABC
Clive Palmer's  Palmer United Party (PUP) holds the crucial balance-of-power votes in the Senate.  Because of the PUP position the coalition may be up the creek without a paddle and PUP vow they will not support the budget cuts.

The Coalition changes to the pension age and payment rates, cuts to family payments, and reductions and cuts to unemployment benefits for young people all spell a recipe for disaster.  To hit those who are already doing things tough seems to be and extremely unfavorable  move and the GP Co-Payment also planned Clive Palmer announced it was dead in the water also.

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser said he feared that this prime minister was a very dangerous individual trigger happy psychopathic individual.  This is a worry when a former PM is worried.

ICELAND is apart of Europe

Iceland is a Nordic country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of 325,671 and an area of 103,000 km², making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Wikipedia.

The National Anthem Lofsöngur" ("Hymn"), also known as "Ó Guð vors lands" ("O, God of Our Land"), is the national anthem of Iceland. The lyrics are by Matthías Jochumsson and the music by Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson.

Coat of arms of Iceland Íslenska : Skjaldarmer...

The anthem contains three stanzas, but only the first one is commonly sung. The melody might be considered difficult to sing, as it requires a vocal range of a minor fourteenth. That the anthem is essentially a hymn has been the subject of controversy in recent time.

Not of this Earth - The Bubbling Sulfur Pools of Iceland
According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in AD 874 when the chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent Norse settler on the island. In the following centuries, Norsemen settled Iceland, bringing with them thralls of Gaelic origin. From 1262 to 1918, Iceland was ruled by Norway and later Denmark. The country became independent in 1918 and a republic in 1944.
In 1994, Iceland became party to the European Economic Area, which supported diversification into economic and financial services. In 2008, affected by the worldwide crisis, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed, resulting in substantial political unrest.
 In the wake of the crisis, Iceland instituted "capital controls" that made it impossible for foreign investors to take money out of the country, leading to the Icesave dispute. The economy has since then made a significant recovery.
IMG 9256 Obscured by Clouds














Iceland has a free-market economy with relatively low taxes compared to other OECD countries.  It  maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens.

Iceland ranks high in economic, political and social stability and equality. In 2013, it was ranked as the 13th most-developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index.

Icelandic culture
is founded upon the nation's Norse heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is descended from Old Norse and is closely related to Faroese and West Norwegian dialects.

The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, Icelandic literature and mediaeval sagas. Iceland has the smallest population of any NATO member and is the only one with no standing army.

Saturn Return time

astrological birth chart
astrological birth chart (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
When I was young I had no idea what your Saturn Return was.  I kept hearing about it though and when I could not have children in my early twenties, many people said to me I would be fine after my "Saturn Return".  I investigated to find this:
"In astrology, especially horoscope astrology, the Saturn return is an astrological transit when a transiting Saturn planet returns to the same point in the sky that it occupied at the moment of a person's birth (natal chart).


In Hindu astrology, when Saturn is within one house prior to till one house after the house the moon is posited in, it is known as Saade saati, as the transit in a birth chart and takes approximately 7.5 years to complete. These years are often filled by difficulty.

Saturn Return is an alleged phenomenon which is described as influencing a person's life development at 27 to 29 or 30-year intervals. These intervals or "returns" coincide with the approximate time it takes the planet Saturn to make one orbit around the sun, i.e. 29.4 years.

It is believed by astrologers that, as Saturn "returns" to the degree in its orbit occupied at the time of birth, a person crosses over a major threshold and enters the next stage of life.

With the first Saturn return, a person leaves youth behind and enters adulthood.

With the second return, maturity.

And with the third and usually final return, a person enters wise old age.

These periods are estimated to occur at roughly the ages of 28-31, 56-60 and 84-90.
A fourth return occurs for only a few people, at age 114-118."

I can see that my Saturn is in Capricorn which governs my career and public persona, both which are not that great since things changed and I am no longer married.  It is funny how one is judged for such a thing as saving your own life.

The Lines have been drawn with a big stick at Gloucester - Blockade Begins!

 Adriane and Adam and Jo and  Steve Phillips were glad that there were people who finally all came together at the same time to get the ball rolling for the peoples voice to say no to AGL on all of the gates no matter how many gates they have.

The Blockade has been called and it starts tomorrow at 6am in Gloucester New South Wales. 

IMG 8256

Poor Julie is run off her feet with meetings with politicians and other areas information sessions and with giving speeches about what is happening in the Gloucester Valley where this sort of mining is concerned.

There is a dance organised and this will lift peoples spirits and put us in touch with more of the youth who are onside and that will be good because you cannot go past youthful exuberance alongside of enthusiastic maturity.  Both need each other and this analogy repeats continuously through out the layers of organization and mobilizing of people around a particular area to be effective.  Everyone has different skills to bring to the table.  I think I will just crochet and keep my thoughts strong against the destruction of this absolutely beautiful valley.

ANTI CSG EVENT : The event will be on the weekend of the 12-13-14th of sept, the first 300 on page will get in. The rest will have to camp on other free campsite in the area. There is also going to a triathlon in town that weekend

WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW TO STOP THIS CORRUPT, DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS IN ITS' TRACKS



AGL has spent $100 000 secretly buying government approvals and legislative changes for its' Gloucester CSG project, against amassed expert advice, and the expressed wishes of the broader community.

Further, AGL plans to frack from Gloucester, three and a half hours north of Sydney, through the Blue Mountains to the suburbs, and right up to the homes of South-Western Sydney.

Sending all levels of government a strong message of zero-tolerance for corporate collusion, is in everyone's interest...

I spend a lot of time trying to find out as much truth as possible before this government does an burning like in Alexandria and gets rid of the evidence of the past crimes against the people of this land.

This land was stolen and it was done in the face of the entire world and the entire world did nothing to right this wrong and yet we are called to right the wrongs of other lands then on behalf of those that stole this land and have not sorted that deal out yet.  I feel we should down tools and go no further on this track until this is reconciled properly,  this has been way over due.

This is some stuff my friend sent me regarding the Worimi people who are the people of the area where AGL are planning to drill for CSG at Gloucester and in the surrounding areas of the Avon River Flood plain. 

I am hoping to meet up with some one who can help me to empower any elders to stand up and be counted and to show their ancestors they have not forgotten their true identity.

AGL are crowing over the Reverse Osmosis Plant

Coal seam gas company AGL says it will provide up to two megalitres a day of desalinated water to Gloucester residents, through its new desalination project.  A megalitre is 1 million Litres.  2 Megalitres is two million litres of toxic water to deal with.  This is a lot of water on a daily basis and people should take note this water is not meant for the surface of the planet.

IMG 9801 Gloucester is under siege
Tiedimans Lane Gloucester Gas Project - AGL

Personally I find this proposition quite scary.  I think that John Ross really doesn't know the truth of which he speaks.  This water is poison.  There is no process known to man that can change the memory that water holds.  It holds the vibration of where it has been.  This water knows where it came from and this water knows it is as a premature baby trying to exist as an adult.  It will not work.

Bárðarbunga in Iceland

 IMG 8074

Iceland has a large Earth event going on underneath her at the present moment.  It is a Volcano underground that has not yet come to the surface.  This magma is moving through solid rock under the ground and will cause a Jökulhlaup which is a glacial outburst flood.  It is an icelandic terminology and this is triggered by geothermal heating and occasionally by a volcanic subglacial eruption, but it is now used to describe any large and abrupt release of water from a subglacial or proglacial lake/reservoir.

Iceland volcanoSeismic activity
There has been high seismic activity in Dyngjujökull in Norther Vatnajökull glacier since midnight. Over 700 earthquakes were detected from midnight to noon. Two earthquakes around and over 5 were detected in Bárðarbunga caldera. The first one, size 5,3 occurred at 00:09 HRS at the Northern edge of Bárðarbunga caldera. The latter occurred at 05:33 HRS, size ca. 5 at the Southern edge of the caldera. Both earthquakes happened at around 5 km depth.

Which Jung Archetype Best Describes You?

Take the Quiz HERE
Deutsch: Carl Gustav Jung
Deutsch: Carl Gustav Jung (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I participated in the questionnaire and it was no surprize to me to find that my archetype is the Sage.  I am said to be wise beyond my years and isn't this clever that this is a card that comes up for me in the Tarot also in the form of the King.
Kings: Keyword - KnowledgeMany explanations actually start with the King because the King starts things off. This person is a motivator, an instigator of new projects. Planning, organizing, moving things forward, the King is the person to consult. When interpreting tarot cards of the minor arcana, a king’s knowledge is power, so use this person’s advice to your advantage.
I am the sage! According to Carl Jung, the sage represents wisdom and the search for truth. You are wise beyond your years, patient and a deep thinker.
You're driven by a thirst for knowledge. One of your greatest fears is being ignorant, misled, or duped.
You're incredibly intelligent but you risk over analyzing until you're incapable of actually making a decision.
You're an old soul and wise beyond your years, but Jung would tell you don't get lost in the clouds!

AGL should consider what happened at Bentley!

 My friend Chris Sheed who is the president of the Manning Clean Water Action Group affectionately known as McWAG has been instrumental in getting the truth out there about the filthy toxicicity of the CSG Mining industry.

IMG 9860 Vigilists and Protectors
Chris Sheed head of Manning Clean Water Action Group

This type of mining has many names now and I believe this has been done to confuse the already confused masses, and so another name is Tight Sands Fraccing or the Hydraulic Fracturing of the Coal Seam to shake the gas free from the spaces in the permeable rock deep underground.

Chris made a statement to the ABC media from McWag and he covered the fact that AGL should be concerned about their project because of Metgasco's License suspension of their Mining License showed that the Office of Coal Seam Gas were serious about enforcing this where companies were proven to have no social license to proceed.  Further to this he made these statements...
"I think anytime where you have strong community opposition to a project that project cannot be said to have a social license".

"There is some scientific data on social license which is sort of a hierarchy of community acceptance."

"Where you have active protests there is really no social license as has been very clearly demonstrated at places such as Bentley."

"Any attempt by the AGL on four approved test wells will be met by resistance similar to that at Bentley."

"A number of groups have committed to taking non-violent direct action in the event that the state government grants approval to AGL to start fracking the four wells for which they have sought approval to fracc."

"It is highly likely that Gloucester will become a focus of anti coal seam gas activity because it is one of the icons that we do not want to see destroyed."
AGL continue to say they have fully consulted with the community, but we know their consultation has been flawed and in the form of bribery to schools and hospitals and clubs.  The local school children were embroiled in a recent scandal where AGL used these children's images in an advertisement with out permission and it was filmed on school property.  The Local Chill Out Festival which is sponsored by AGL is another carrot waving affair that is sent to blind any opposition and its an old and tried and true method.  GIVE  THEM MONEY...  money they think is the key to getting their way. 

Money maybe the key to most but luckily there are still people who have not as yet reached this level of insanity and petty maddness caused from greed and still see things for what they are.  I take my hat off to Chris because I could not have said any of it better.   This is what makes him worthy of his OAM in my book.  He is a man that will stand up for truth and justice for people and the Earth.

Groundswell Gloucester Media Release - AGL Endorses Confrontation in Gloucester NSW.

IMG 0441  Mosaic of Gold Mining in Gloucester.

 Media Release
19 August 2014
AGL endorses confrontation in Gloucester.

Head of AGL community relations, Julie Delvecchio, has encouraged a pro-mining faction to confront a peaceful vigil in progress at AGL’s office in Gloucester.

A post from the ‘Gloucester Supports Mining’ Facebook page:

I would love to see a hundred fluro coloured shirts beat these people to there spot one morning, won't have to get up early , but it would be good to see the real people , the workers and there families turn up in force dressed in flouro work clothes to show we to are serious ! I think we would out number them at least 5:1 , I'm only new at this FB but if someone can get it out there I'm in let's make a stand and let our views be heard,

Facebook logo

August 14 at 8:25pm

Julie Delvecchio, who is also a member of the Facebook group, ‘liked’ the message.
In Ms Delvecchio’s AGL community newsletter of 18 August, 2014, she endorses the Facebook page:

Finally, I wanted to highlight a new group of Gloucester residents coming together to
support extractive industries.

The Facebook group ‘Gloucester supports mining’ was created last Tuesday and already has more than 345 members. The driving force behind the group is an understanding of the economic benefits previous resources projects have brought to the community, and creating a space for people to talk about their support for our projects and others like it.

The ‘Gloucester Supports Mining’ administrator is closely linked with AGL. She has featured on the AGL website and in the Gloucester Advocate with the local AGL community relations manager, also a member of the Facebook page, to promote their working relationship.

The administrator’s separate, personal Facebook page featured several posts on August 11 suggesting various aggressive actions against peaceful participants, should they choose to camp in the area. Suggestions ranged from zip-tying participants’ fingers together, to throwing horse manure, to burning the tents.

It appears that this thread was the basis for the August 12 launch of the AGL - endorsed ‘Gloucester Supports Mining’ page.

Chair of Groundswell, Julie Lyford, said ‘Encouraging aggressive behaviour is a clear indication that AGL is unfit to hold a Petroleum Exploration Licence in Gloucester or elsewhere.

AGL’s only published survey shows there is just 13% support for CSG in NSW but instead of engaging in real consultation on this, they are deepening the divisions they have already created in our community.’

Premier Beards tongue must hurt don't you think?

ICAC have put the skids in the parliamentary circles on all sides and through all the factions of this corrupt political process we call government in Australia.

Beard says they are not fielding two candidates in the upcoming by election as an act of atonement that was called by Liberal state director Tony Nutt, but we the people are not silly,  we can see this is too avoid embarrassment. 

IMG 0416
Hexham Oak Factory gone like McCloy and never to be seen again.

It is also grossly unfair to deny the people their right to show the party how they feel via the ballot box.  To slink out the back door only highlights the corruption and the rule changing that goes on in public office.

The former Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Mr McCloy’s resignation came as Mr Baird was saying that this government was not going to be contesting the two central coast seats ­which were vacated last week by the departure of Tim Owen and Andrew Cornwell through ICAC revelations.  at by-­elections are expected to be held in approximately three to five weeks.

The Water Payment Assistance Scheme - PAS

I recently came across this piece of information regarding help to those who are financially stretched with the payment of water bills to the household.
SAM 5672 Dripz
Urunga Water Drips away..
Presently we are gripped with high prices for domestic water supply and all the while we as small household customers are paying through the neck for water while the Energy and Mining companies pay little to nothing for Mega Giga Litres of water day after day after day.

This was one problem and now we are faced with a second problem from the latter there with a large risk their use of water will actually result in the contamination of the Basins and Aquifers that are underground water supplies and hold the health of the earth in its flow.

I liken these rivers underground to the blood in our veins and if you get high enough in a plane and look down at the river systems, they visually resemble the venous system as well.

So back to the households paying huge bills and trying to stay afloat.. pardon the pun.   This is where PAS comes in.

From EWON - Energy Water Ombudsman NSW 
About PAS
The Water Payment Assistance Scheme (PAS) can help you if you are having difficulty paying your Hunter Water, Sydney Water or Shoalhaven Water bill. This scheme assists people experiencing financial hardship by providing vouchers or a credit to a water account.

Before you seek assistance


If you are having trouble paying your bill you should speak to your water company first.
Water suppliers may be able to suggest a payment scheme or arrangement to assist you manage your bills (see customer assistance programs).
If you are unable to make arrangements with your supplier, contact a local community agency that offers this form of assistance and make an appointment.

Where can you get water vouchers?

Many community welfare organisations offer PAS. These include:
  • St Vincent de Paul Society
  • The Salvation Army
  • Anglicare
  • The Smith Family
  • Some community or neighbourhood centres
If you can't find a PAS agency in your area, contact us for help.

Who can get water vouchers?


Anyone who is in financial hardship can apply for PAS assistance. The hardship may be caused by a range or combination of factors, including:
  • a loss of income
  • a very high water bill
  • an illness in the family
  • a family crisis
  • unexpected expenses or bills
What about tenants?

Although the landlord is responsible for the water account, in many cases it is a condition of the lease for tenants to pay for the cost of water consumption. If you are responsible for this part of the water bill, you may be eligible for PAS, see water accounts for more.

Access to PAS for tenants is limited to $150 for water usage. As PAS cannot be used to put an account in credit, the landlord should not pay the entire bill in advance if you want to use PAS vouchers. As this is a private arrangement between you and your landlord or real estate agent, speak to them first if you are facing financial difficulty.

For detailed information, contact your water supplier. Further information on your rights and responsibilities as a tenant is available from Tenants NSW.
How does it work?
  1. In most cases you will need to make an appointment with the agency over the telephone.
  2. Take your water bill to the appointment and the agency will decide if they can assist you
  3. The agency may also help you arrange a payment plan with your supplier for the remainder of the bill, or provide other assistance such as financial counselling.
  4. Pay the vouchers on to your account at the post office or other outlet, remembering to bring along a recent bill with the barcode intact.
  5. If not organised beforehand, call your water supplier to make an arrangement for the remainder of your bill.
  6. If you are unable to make arrangements to pay the remainder, you can contact us for help.

There is a protest against the protestors - Gloucester Supports Mining -

 IMG 9775 Gloucester

The pro mining sector of Gloucester have rallied themselves and gotten a Facebook page to gather support against the Protectors of the Gloucester Valley.

The posts on the page have alluded to creating violence against those protectors who are locals and not from other areas as reported on this group.  There are many more supporters of NO CSG but these people are elderly and they fear the tactics of this red neck type vigilante group.

The page is loaded with made up stories of protectors peeing on a public road in front of the motel to lighting fires everywhere to abuse of people to saying the protestors are paid a total of $150.00 a day to protest.

The page was started by Joolz and Dave Ireland and Kylie Cole and this is how they describe this group and what they say about their town of Gloucester

"Most locals know that for years, mining has been the main driving force in our town. Without it our town was dead and buried long ago. The mills slowly closed their doors leaving locals without work, then came time for the dairy farmers to close their doors as well as the local butter factory which in turn more jobs where lost. Locals where leaving town to find work else where. Then along came the mine, which created jobs for the locals again and put money back into town, it bought new families to town who have since settled here, their children going to school and working local, growing up and having families of their own and continuing to live locally.
Now we have people who don't even live in the area coming into our town and picketing and protesting about the mine. Setting up a protester camp to accommodate 50 tents with the option to expand and making our town look ugly with all the signs they have continually pushed down your throat. Whats even funnier is that they sit outside AGL head quarters in Gloucester protesting but then continually ask AGL staff if they can use AGL amenities. Sitting there with their gas burners heating their cups of tea.
Lets protest against the protesters, Lets show them that this is our town and in our town mining is supported.


Do you have a mining story to tell, are you someone who came here with the mines and are still here now. Please feel free to post it we would love to hear about it."
I managed to get inside of this group and so I will continue to read what they are thinking.  I am appalled at the level of made ups stories already printed there and already asking Police to action things that are completely fictional.  This is breaking the law and wasting police time.

Protectors keeping Vigil outside AGL Fracking Headquarters Gloucester NSW

Today hundreds gathered from Gloucester and surrounding areas of the Hunter Valley and beyond to support the protectors of the area to stand up to BIG GAS in this area and AGL's Gloucester Gas Pilot project on the Avon River flood zone.

IMG 9814

Gloucester residents who are pro gas are fielding their views from a contaminated perspective of lies and public relations twaddle put forth to the community by AGL Upstream Gas and their high paid Public Relations Spin team.

There are many reasons why this project was floored from day dot and there is much evidence being amassed to prove this in the Crime Commission,  ICAC.   Secret donations insured this project got the green light from all levels of government no matter what, this has been proven and some of those politicians have already resigned.

The Gloucester Valley Protectors have been intimidated by other local people who think the protectors are taking away their jobs.  This group of people are seriously misinformed and really don't understand the lies the energy companies are telling the general public via media.  This fact is evident from their comments, and so we must try to educate them and not join in on their level of abuse.  Dialogue with them is very welcome but physical abuse is all that is promised from them.

Abuse comes from fear and they are fearful.  They are people who have been brought up by those that were used to sucking on the teat of government for every little thing and they have been brainwashed to believe that government only make good decisions.   Any sane person would no longer make this assumption given the state of affairs where it has been politician after politician who has been given his marching orders from public office.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven because these corrupt politicians who are named in ICAC get the opportunity to resign, therefore not losing their hefty pension and golden handshake.  This is an old boys club that needs to be smashed because there is no truth attached to this sort of corruption of minds, money and mothers

If they are found to have been acting inside of  corruption as vast as what this has shown to be, there should be no more nose in the trough for them.  This issue of the 'Snout in the Trough' has to go to a vote of the people as soon as possible because this is a complete waste of public funds and an absolute 'in your face' abuse of peoples hard earned taxes which they have paid to a government in good faith.

Living in a Share House.

Before I was married I spent many years sharing accommodation with many people in many places.  Some of this was a nightmare but most of it was great.
The nightmarish bits were usually attributed to unpaid bills and squabbles over the financials of the house.

It was at this point that I decided to get pro-active with my housemates and make some adjustments that were fair to everyone and that were open and transparent and so there was a less likelihood of the funds being used for the wrong purpose to which they were deemed.

In those days we did not have all of the agencies we have today. There was no help offered from government either. 

To avoid household dramas I researched payment methods and found that I could pay my household utilities with postage stamps.   This was a joy to find.  I dutifully collected a few dollars change from each member of the household for these stamps.  The stamps were stuck into a stamp book and were seen as legal tender and therefore could be used to pay bills with.  I would present the stamps to the retailer who would stamp them with a rubber stamp and pay the bill.

The utilities were not the expense they are today, if anything they were seen as a very very minor expense to the household.   This is far different today where the utilities costs to a house can render the family into financial ruin.   Families choose between electricity / gas  or food.  This is how serious it has become.

A share house today then is a serious situation to embark upon and it needs to be sorted who is paying for what at the onset of the agreement to avoid the pitfalls that can ruin lives financially speaking.

Centrepay is offered by Centrelink to help those who are on benefits and if there are people who are sharing your house on benefits they can use Centrepay to help contribute fairly and consistently to the household utility expenses and eliminating the issue that can cause problems amongst housemates.
Living in a share house  (from EWON)
When you open an account in your name, you take responsibility for all future bills. If the account is in more than one name, each person can be held responsible. If you are living in share accommodation, make sure the account holder details are kept up-to-date. You should ensure that everyone in your household agrees on who will be responsible for paying the bills.

AGL has been likend to a Ponzi Scheme .

Jennifer  is no stranger to being in front of AGL Headquarters in Sydney and protesting the Gloucester Gas Project that plans to put over 110 Csg Wells with further plans to increase this to over 330 wells near her home. She visits here regularly. 

We had the Farewell AGL Party here on the footpath earlier in the year at North Sydney on the swanky Miller Street at 101 Miller Street which incidentally has a lane running off called Gas Lane.  How bloody quaint... for them.

Jennifer has been researching the corrupt business practices of the company and she was pleased as was I when ICAC announced they had uncovered donations of a $100,000 from both political parties who seemingly think they can run this country on bribery and handshakes and secret deals and do all of this with the public money and with share holders money.

READ WHAT A PONZI SCHEME IS

The shareholders are funds that are managed funds which are the retirement savings of Mr and Mrs Ordinary Working Australian who pays his or her superannuation which I might add is a law they introduced saying it was good for everyone.  What it did what extract a bunch of money from the people without their say so and ammassed the cash to make a significant number of these people very wealthy.  A ponzie scheme is not this you may say.  Yes there are differerences but at the end of the day it is extracting money from people to so something that is doomed to fail as this Csg Industry will.

These Energy companies propped up by government corruption is money in the bank you would say so therefore that part does replica a Ponzi Scheme.

Good on Jennifer for continuing her fight in the big city while others are on the ground in Gloucester manning the gates of AGL Hell.

How much trauma is the Australian Government responsible for?

In the last 20 years the numbers of those that have been severely damaged psychologically have helped to swell the numbers of DSP recipients to over 830,000 individuals in Australia.

HOW MUCH OF THIS TRAUMA was caused by the very same Government and their own institutions which they forced upon us as a population?
 

Changes to Disibility Payments found here

Something here is lacking explanation and is leaning on lies as per usual especially where government is implicated in any one situation they have had their grubby fingers all over.

Politicians and lobbyists are unskilled in this area and have little idea of the reality of these challenges that we have faced and are still facing as a country.

Recently with the Royal Commission into Abuse in Church Based Care, this has been made even more evident given that the Churches are also severely lacking to deal.

SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM ALL HEY?

Why are these people who have already been to hell and back again now the subject of virile comments from the public on mass?

Why?

Because the general public have largely adjusted to disillusionment and government lies and lost any sign of a spirit heart that sees beyond the boundaries of the small black box of spirituality we have been forced to put our faith in today world. 
  This type of faith is dead.  Faith in a box .. to unwrap and show off because it looks good and when they go home... pftttt back in the box it goes.  This is not the type of faith that one can live out of.  This is the false religion we lost everything else for.  This will now save humanity.

Humanity as a combined effort needs to raise its awareness of itself and live out of the truth not from the lies of twisted corrupt greedy governments and greedy religions.  All of this is retarded thinking on the parts of those who do know better.

Archie Roach - what a beautiful story man and what a song he has to sing!

Ruby Hunter
Cover of Ruby Hunter
Reading about Archie Roach and his painful journeys brings tears to my eyes and leaves me feeling not so alone with the emotional pain that I carry inside of myself.

Archie is a beloved Aboriginal singer and songwriter and producer and he is most importantly - the voice of his people. 

Back in 2010 Archie suffered an emotional hit that none of us are really prepared for and he lost his partner Ruby Hunter who was a very young 54 when she passed.

This knocked Archie around severely and he was found in the Kimberly Region of Australia having suffered a stroke.  He is lucky to be alive.  I suppose he felt he had lost his reason to live when Ruby left.  Last year Archie was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in his left Lung.  I pray he beats this cancer and dies a natural death not a death from cancer.  He is letting go of the sad things of this life.


Now Archie is back with a new album and a new lease on life and a new story to tell.  His stories before were always of being stolen etc and now they are songs about winning and loving and seeing things through to the other side.

Archie Roach's new album is called "INTO THE BLOODSTREAM".  It is available
A note from Archie
While making this album I have learned to look at Pain differently. I know that Pain can make you sick, very sick!! My recent bouts of illness I’m sure, are a result of the Pain of being removed from my family at a young age and more recently the loss of someone I loved so dearly.

But Pain can also bring about change in one’s life for the better, we can choose to ignore the Pain until it becomes unbearable or we can do something. I used to think that letting go of the Pain was the only way of getting better but that may not be necessarily so. You see some events in my life I will never truly get over and the Pain will always be there but I can do something about it.

I can write songs, songs about making it to the Top of the Hill no matter how far, songs about not being alone so don’t cry, songs about all of us having a song to sing and songs we can dance to.

Even though we may be suffering with some sort of chronic Pain we can learn to live with and manage it with the right attitude to life and some good medicine.

Doing this album has been good medicine for me! I hope listening to it will be the same for you!

Wolf in Sheeps Clothing...

Whats it all about?

Well it goes  a long way to explain the connections that are evident across the world that are being used as the control mechanism and to a large degree most cannot even see it happening.  If you are aware of the truth then you are not fooled by the flat earth media and the hogwash printed in the usual tabloids who do their own part in the great manipulation of us all.
Below is an extract about Agenda 21 from a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing...
 Agenda 21 goes well beyond environmentalism. other broad goals include combating poverty, changing consumption patterns, promoting health and reducing private property ownership, single-family, homes, private car ownership and privately owned farms.

It seeks to cram people into small liveable areas and institute population control. there is a plan for ‘social justice’ that will redistribute wealth.

This is being interpreted to allow massive amounts of new, over-reaching regulations. Joyce Morrison from Eco-Iogic Powerhouse says Agenda 21 is so broad it will affect the way we “live, eat, learn and communicate.”

Berit Kjot, author of Brave New Schools, warns that Agenda 21 regulation would severely limit water, electricity and transportation – even deny human access to our most treasured wilderness areas. It would monitor all lands and people.

Cannabis ... a non-psychoactive treatment is possible.

Australia is once again seeing the age old debate on Cannabis seeing the light of day again with our new Premier Beard promising to introduce a bill to the next sitting of NSW Parliament.

Recently there have been a lot of high profile cases in the media where parents have been treating their ill children who are on death row and these parents are winning and the children are living and this effect can no longer be denied by a greedy government who weigh everything up in dollars and cents.

The form Australian Federal Police Commissioner backs the Victorian parents Rhett and Cassie who were arrested for treating their child recently.   Read Full Story Here
"Mr Palmer’s comments come as a Victorian couple faces possible charges for using cannabis oil to treat their three-year-old son’s severe epilepsy.

Cassie Batten and Rhett Wallace were taken into police custody on Thursday after the Epping Sex Offense's and Child Abuse Investigation team raided their Mernda home and seized their supplies of the oil.

Ms Batten and Mr Wallace, who have attracted pro bono legal support from former WikiLeaks Party campaign director and barrister Greg Barns, were released but could still face charges of possessing a drug of dependence and introducing a drug of dependence into the body of another."
