I just could not resist watching this video today. Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones) performing for President Obama, family and friends. How I miss having Obama there!

“So little Joshie Frydenberg, the puffed-up bully-boy,
confected outrage specialist and ScoMo’s dinky toy,
has demonstrated yet once more his arrogant disdain
for decency in parliament by going off his brain
with quite the demonstration of ambition gone berserk,
a rant that left him looking like a monumental jerk,
so here’s to all Victorians, you’ve done a mighty job,
and next time vote out Joshua, the biggest southern knob,
for Coalition negligence left nursing homes alone
while private owners raked in cash and tossed the aged a bone.”

Actress and inventor – an unusual combination for an Austrian-born Hollywood star of the 20th century. Her technical ideas might have preceded vital internet technology.
Coal into parliament …
By being backward oriented and not investing adequately into and operating wind and solar energy, we not only miss out on having and using sufficient renewable energy – no, we also miss out on an important opportunity for learning from operating them. Vital data cannot be collected from what does not exist in Australia. Other countries who are operating wind and solar at large scale are able to learn from collected data (including cost details) so that their future planning is now much better than it would otherwise be. The critical mix between wind and solar is important. How else can we know this, but from operational data ? “So why not use foreign data?” you say ? We need data for Australian conditions with local geographical and many other specifics. We need to learn from operating wind and solar here in Australia and cannot simply transplant data from other countries where different conditions/parameters exist. We miss out on opportunities we could have, had we invested sufficiently into solar and wind power. This ill-minded negligence is bad for our future as a nation and its negative consequences will be a burden for future generations.

Not good enough Mr Morrisson
„More than 680 of the 905 Australians who have died from COVID fell ill with it while in aged care facilities“.Source: The Conversation
Aged care in Australia is a federal government responsibility – not a state responsibility!
Clearly, aged care is not a priority item for this liberal party government.
Live classical music
Nothing really beats live classical music. Yes, there may be inaccuracies and the odd mistake (if you can detect it) but that is actually the charm of live music.
Indirectly responsible for people gathering during lockdown
You can spin this any way you like but the federal government’s vulgar and superfluous verbal attacks on Daniel Andrews is for some people a top level encouragement to take lightly or even break lockdown rules and gather, thus producing a high risk of spreading the virus. The sabotaging nature of the Morrison government’s ongoing attacks on Daniel Andrews will not be forgotten.
Apart from the above, one also has to see that here is a federal government playing political games when the state of Victoria under the fine leadership of Daniel Andrews is dealing with a dangerously infectious threat for the health of the people of Victoria. Morrisson & Co have for many Australians lost their credibility or what is left of it.
1969 – Across the Universe, by John Lennon/Beatles – Jai Guru Deva
Across the Universe
Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Frydenberg’s unreasonably slow recovery plan
Instead of making stupid “get on with it” remarks to Daniel Andrews, Frydenberg would be well advised to review his recovery plan.
