NSW Election today and Premier Mike Baird faces off with ALP Luke Foley. Conservatives have government through coalition between Liberal Party and National Party. The default position of the state is ALP, with ALP government at all times since 1941, with the exception of '65 to '76 (Askin), '88 to '95 (Greiner/Fahey) and 2011 to now (O'Farrell/Baird). But entrenched corruption has seen the ALP be on the nose of voters. ALP has not reformed, and is still subject to union power brokers and corrupt payments from the state's poorest. The ALP is supported by a corrupt judiciary and media who turn a blind eye to ALP corruption, but denounce conservative politic at any opportunity usually without foundation. The result of which has seen a change of Premiers but a similar direction of policy from O'Farrell to Baird. So far, no substance of widespread corruption has been shown by the 'independent body' the ICAC which has investigated and campaigned against Liberal government but tacitly accepted ALP corruption.
The policies being campaigned on are different. Conservatives have offered stable, responsible government which will rent electrical poles and wires for 99 years to pay for needed infrastructure. They have built things and offer to build more, including a new Sydney international airport, roads and trains. The ALP offer no new policies but promise to spend more, raise no new taxes, poles and wires to tax the poorest for electricity, oppose coal seam gas development. The ALP position is unbelievable, given their track record. The ALP leader has not held a lower house seat or a ministry position and is talentless, offering no direction or reform. But the ALP are coming from a low position and so are expected to improve through no fault of their own.
An utterly selfish, depressed young man has killed 149 and himself in a plane crash in Germany. When a bank manager steals bank money, it is the bank's fault from oversight failure. Here too, the airliner, Germanwings, bears some responsibility for their pilot suiciding and killing others. There are campaigners for suicide who do not support the chosen method, although they campaign for sad, depressed people to be able to suicide. Any analysis of the victims shows the depth of the tragedy. Young, accomplished, decent people who had much to offer, taken by a vain, self serving, self seeking, sad young man. There needs to be some changes at Germanwings, but not much. It is very hard to prevent such evil, as assassins have shown over the years. And this evil highlights the choice NSW has. Return a responsible pilot, or a self serving liar.
On this day in 37, Caligula named himself a Prince. In 193, Emperor Pertinax was assassinated by his own guard who then sold his throne to his enemy. Pertinax was only to reign for a few months, as did his successor, as the start of the year of five emperors. Important to remember the Roman year began in March (Spring). In 845, Paris was sacked by a Viking raider, rumoured to have been Ragnar Lodbrok. In 1889, the Yngsjö murder occurred in Yngsjö, Sweden: Anna Månsdotter was arrested along with her son. Anna was the last woman executed in Iceland. She had had an incestuous relationship with her son and killed his wife to cover it up. Her son was sentenced to death, but commuted to life imprisonment and paroled in 1913, before dying of TB in 1918. In 1933, an Imperial biplane City of Liverpool was apparently sabotaged by a german drug smuggling dentist who left his niece on board the burning craft before leaping to his death. There were no survivors. Dr Voss had been aware that authorities were losing in on his smuggling operation. In 1959, China took over Tibet. In 1990, President GHW Bush posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honour to Jesse Owens.
The late evening election result is the conservatives have clearly won the lower house but it remains to be seen if they are able to get legislation through the upper house.
2014
There is a culture war being fought and the over dominant Left are fighting dirty. The issue of honours is being fiercely contested by many who would accept a knighthood and don't really feel it matters. The reason why they fight it is because it does matter. It is not only school kids who like to see the way up pointed to. People like a direction, and when school kids are constantly told that nothing matters, they can't excel at anything, that nobody is better, but people are merely different, then they lose direction .. they need someone to point up. The Left have always despised direction and authority. They still use authority. The last time an Australian asked the queen to intervene in Australian affairs was when the ALP asked the Queen to prevent a democratic election for the dismissal. And they say they don't trust her, that she isn't really Australian.
One person who is Australian is former President of the ALP Michael Williamson. He has been sentenced to seven and a half years prison with a non parole period of five years. Another convict is his colleague Craig Thomson. Williamson has apologised for his activity and accepted responsibility for his wrongdoing. Thomson has blamed others and lied in his defence. Thomson's inadequate sentence was for one year, with a non parole period of three months. It would take a body like the Electoral Commission to fail to see the disparity between sentences. Thomson single handedly maintained a corrupt and inept government from 2010 to late 2013. Thomson is appealing his sentence. One reason for the disparity is the charges. Thomson has not been charged for all that he has done. The ALP defended both. In Thomson's defence, he isn't really Australian. So, according to ALP logic, he could be head of state, one day. The ALP want a republic because they'd prefer Williamson?

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
