Qualifications

I have engineering certificates and tickets for forklifts bobcat excavators etc. Now if I don't pay the government then they deem them to be unfit. If you haven't worked in your trade this is taken away as well. Now the below certificate is three years old and the recipient would be 8 years old now is this certificate null and void as well. As we all who are over 18 passed threw kindergarten we all should have one of these and as a result should be able to teach kindergarten. This certificate is worth more than all the other Qualification that anyone can ever have, and just about as useless.

Why did the Accc and the doctors fight so hard?

Jail for contempt over contraceptive sales

Justice Conti of the Federal Court has ordered that Mr David Hughes be imprisoned for contempt for a total period of six months. The orders follow Australian Competition and Consumer Commission action.
Mr Hughes will serve two months immediately and the remaining four months was suspended. The four months would be served if Mr Hughes again breaches the previous orders.
Justice Conti also ordered that Mr Hughes transfer his website to the ACCC. The ACCC will then post a consumer notice on the site, advising consumers of the illegalities under the Trade Practices Act 1974 of the conduct. 
The ACCC brought the contempt proceedings against Mr Hughes alleging he breached orders of the Federal Court made on 18 March 2002.
Then, Justice Allsop held that Mr Hughes had misled or deceived by:

• not telling consumers that it was illegal to supply or acquire oral contraceptives without a prescription in Australia and the US 
• failing to tell consumers of significant health risks involved for some people in taking some oral contraceptives 
• failing to tell consumers that within Australia free medical assistance is available to Australian citizens and permanent residents contemplating using oral contraceptives and 
• failing to tell consumers that it is significantly cheaper in Australia to get oral contraceptives from a pharmacy.

Justice Allsop made the following orders:

• that Mr Hughes be restrained from supplying oral contraceptives in Australia without disclosing in any promotional medium, including any internet site, that:
• it is illegal to supply the specified oral contraceptives to persons in Australia without prescription
• it is illegal for a person to acquire the specified oral contraceptives without prescription
• that there are significant health risks in taking some oral contraceptives without obtaining medical advice about the suitability of those medications for use by the particular individual
• that within Australia free medical assistance, including where appropriate the issuing of a prescription, is available to Australian citizens and permanent residents who are contemplating using oral contraceptives
• that it is significantly less expensive to obtain oral contraceptives upon prescription from a pharmacy in Australia than it is to buy them from his group, Crowded Planet.
• that Mr Hughes be restrained from supplying the specified oral contraceptives to persons in the United States of America
• that Mr Hughes pay the ACCC's costs.

The ACCC alleged that Mr Hughes had set up a new website and offered contraceptives to persons in Australia and the United States in violation of those orders.
The ACCC had assistance from the US Food and Drug Administration which bought contraceptives from a website run by Mr Hughes. Mr Hughes also sold contraceptives to an officer of the ACCC without the warnings being on the website.
The court agreed that Mr Hughes had engaged in the contempt and that it necessarily followed that there had to be a term of incarceration.
Justice Conti took into account Mr Hughes personal circumstances in setting the time for imprisonment.
"The ACCC could not simply allow persons to disregard orders of the court", ACCC Chairman, Mr Graeme Samuel, said today. "The ACCC does not take any court action lightly and expects respondents to abide by any orders awarded by the courts".

Here's the maths just for Australia if all the people bought on the internet.
there is approximately 22  million Australians Half are female =11million say 25% are sexually active that = 2.75 million . Now they go to get the pill for one months supply at $40 per visit times the number of visits by 12 months thats 40x12=480dollars times that by the number of people going to get the pill which is $480x 2,700,000=$1296000000
$1296000000 just a poor pittance  the doctors would loose if all transactions occurred on the internet.. It wasn't health issues it was dollars and that's just in Australia.

If they were to buy over the counter at the chemist how much would the Government save in health costs?
The American market is 300 million half women 150 million etc. Yes just a small pittance......
Its funny that mechanics do mechanical work electricians do electrical work and doctors practice! I would be upset if mechanics electricians and plumbers practiced, but that's the way it is.

Look don't get me wrong there are good doctors out there and there are bad mechanics electricians and plumbers.

Injuries

I was lucky to be injured in a coal mine and put off due to injuries. I thought my life was over, But how far from the truth was that thought. It was a blessing in disguise. Could you imagine working in water up to your arm pits in an underground cavern or mud up to your knees. I was nearly killed on many occasions and was finally hurt in 1998 and put out to pasture. What a life since then Motor home living, living in three towns and working on the river,camping in the bush in the Australian high country. Then finally moving to the coast and living near the Shoalhaven river, I have been blessed....And then to have this blog and others to keep the mind busy, Yes I am blessed. It is great to here from the comments when they do come, Yes blessed am I.

Sticks holes and balls

The male of the human species has a thing about these two particular items, Balls and Sticks. They have clubs (sticks) that they join to talk about balls. Some examples of these is Foot ball, Golf , Billiards,Tennis. Tennis is where you belt this ball around an area with a racket (stick), and score points with an opponent, they use terms like love. Golf they belt a ball with a club (stick) and try to sink it into a hole. Just some times they get a hole in one this is the term for a good shot. Then with foot ball they kick the ball to score a try, which is what all men do try to score.
Now the gentleman's game is Billiards and they also hit the ball with a stick called a Que (stick) into a hole. They like different coloured balls and the black being the most rewarding one. People who are not good at these games  are called spectators spec being eye (ball) tater being a spud (Potato) shaped like a (ball). Pocket billiards is played by young males and there is no need to go into that any further into that other  than say it involves balls and sticks and no hole.
Russian roulette is also played sticks balls and holes and scoring, there is no trys and the result is an unwanted pregnancy.

australian security and intrigue

Just a follow up on a previous story of the same title, my little joke. The photos in the previous post are of the Wollongong rubbish tip where they spent 37 million dollars to protect rubbish and this is from the council who has as its motto The City Of Innovation. Holey crap there is another job for the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

The concrete barriers are protecting a dead end road to nowhere. The poisoned trees were poisoned by the water authority or the national parks and wild life.

Shame on you Julia Gillard and Kristina Kennearly..... Shame on you Wollongong city council.....
