The NBN Needs Private Enterprise Not Bureaucracy

If the National Broadband Network ever gets finished health care for rural Australians will improve. The Abbott Government has sacked the NBN board. It has also began an inquiry. When will this end and real completion goals be set? The previous government made the mistake of not having goals. This is what led to its demise in the last election - it had lost its way on most issues.

An inquiry is seen as more "pussy-footing around". We need a clearly defined schedule. All major construction projects have dates set out for finalization of each stage. Why does the NBN have to be any different? Surely they know how much time it takes to lay "X" amount of fiber optic cable. This is the problem with monopolies: they consume time and money. Why not put stages out for competitive tenders? Surely real competition can get things moving.

The inquiry must come up with positive workable solutions. We cannot have another government mess up. Get rid of the bureaucrats. These are the expensive hangers on. Get private enterprise in on the job. Of course, the problem is - Has the Labor government locked us into unbreakable contracts? Getting out of these contracts could prove to be very expensive. However, something needs to be done, and fast!

Flashback Friday

Hi there, Spitters here. I used to hang out in the barn but I stay mainly on the porch now or on the roof of the porch. That Person needs to get me on the blog more often.

This was taken a couple of years ago so I was very young.

Hi everyone, Spitters here again, and I can do tricks too.
**********************
Happy Black Friday to everyone. We are all staying right here at home.

Happy Thanksgiving to All.

This my cousin's drawing which I think is terrific.

WE just wanted to wish everyone a really nice Thanksgiving Day.

So here is part of the herd of cats that live here, having some nice foods on this Turkey day.From left to right we have Ohs, Orange Boyzo, MewMew and Splitters on the end.

Keeping Australia's Car Industry Afloat Is Not Economically Rational

There are calls from many quarters for keeping Australia's car industry alive. I am not so sure that a country needs its own motor industry anymore. Times have changed. No vehicle is made entirely in one country today. The days of getting prestige from it are long gone.

Propping up a floundering car sector is against all practical economic and social theory. It doesn't make sense to spend taxpayers money in such a wasteful way. Holden and Ford continue to take handouts while still not making any profit. Ford has already gone. The days for Holden are numbered. Holden was never a truly Australian car. It was an old General Motors design left in a drawer collecting dust until it was thrown on the table at a meeting in Australia.

Australia has never been a manufacturing country. It is not like Britain which has very in the way of natural resources so must generate income somehow from industry. Large businesses have only been in the primary sector. Exporting what comes out of the ground has always been the way Australia survives.

Those who hang on to so called Australian icons are sentimentalists. Things do change and old things fall away. Vegemite and Billy Tea are foreign owned. This doesn't stop us from claiming these icons. If Holden dies in this country that will be it. The car is not composed completely of Australian parts anyway. We can always rebadge an American designed car and race it at Bathurst.

Wordless Wednesday

Look, the Person put a huge box outside just for us.

Tip Tail here looking so handsome.
*********************************
We sure hope everyone has a very very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. We all so appreciate all of our blogger friends and are so thankful for this blogging world. Take care.

Tabby Tuesday

Hi there Mahoney here and I am a tabby also. As you can tell, we have a whole bunch of tabbies around here. But I am sure I am the cutest and the Queen. At least, I think so.

Here I am again, and I can do tricks too.

Hi there Maggie here and I am that Mahoney's mom as most of you know. She did not get any of her bossy habits from me. I am a tabby and a little bit lighter color than Mahoney.

So as you can see, a tabby can almost be any color that has striped and circles and dots.
*****************************
Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
