IPA Review features a Michael Husek article “Volunteerism and Civil Society.” Husek discusses the United Firefighters Union (UFU) power grab over the Country Fire Authority (CFA). It is an attack on a cultural asset, CFA volunteers have a long and noble history. The take over means that volunteers will not be able to take basic action regarding a fire unless they are in the presence of a paid firefighter. However, paid firefighters are nowhere near flash-points but are in urban areas. People who are in volunteers have given up over this issue. The problem is that if they take positive action for the community they can be prosecuted. Worse, country folk cannot even defend their own property, with green oversight groups preventing firebreaks and land clearing. Dan Andrews, Premier of Victoria has broken volunteers. As Victoria approaches summer, she is defenceless. It is another impost on struggling farmers. It also affects South Australia and Western Australia with their own volunteer organisations being devalued and disrupted.

I posted in defence of Cardinal Pell the other day. I noted that accusers anonymously post online abuse that lacks substance. In reply I have seen the following
Philip Thompson No way anyone can tell me this bloke didn't know what was going on. He actually stood up for one of his paedophile mates in court. He reeks of at least protecting these jackalls.
David McArthur No matter whose to blame, pedophilia accusations and statements should never be ignored or shunned as 'ploys' by the lefts. Cardinal Pell has been accused of pedophilia and molestation and must atone for his act or prove himself innocent.
Adam Corp Looks like a rock spider to me
Glenice Lohde BIG ROCK SPIDER…
Daryl Robson The man is at best a defender of pedeophiles and at worst (allegedly) one himself. Old Cardinal nappy tearer as he's colloquially known.
Celie Wright He knew exactly what was going on , in the church, scumbag let it happen fir years, so much abuse, rot in hell..
Greg Worley David Daniel Ball that is bullshit,he like all catholic priests would have covered up heaps of abuse cases
They did not need to illustrate my point about baseless abuse.

Australia is poorly positioned to capitalise on a Trump Presidency with both the foreign affairs Minister Julie Bishop and the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull talking out to personalise antipathy to Trump. One understands they prefer Hillary Clinton because they prefer working with corruption. They had insisted Abbott give over $10 million aid to the Clinton Foundation in 2014, and rolled Abbott after he stopped the payments. But neither Bishop nor Turnbull has explained how Australia will be better off with a corrupt Clinton as President, compared to a GOP backed Trump. Trump is not Reagan. Trump is very good at negotiations and knows how to run an executive team. Reagan was more reliant on insiders from GOP. Trump can deliver on promises better than Turnbull can. Turnbull has portrayed himself as being a good business executive. With Trump as President we will see a real one. Trump would never have put himself in the ridiculous position Turnbull has. All Turnbull can do now, constructively, is resign.

Meanwhile Trump’s progressive opponent is loved by the press and demonstrably corrupt. And the Libertarian candidate is trying to find Aleppo. Or a head of state.
Rumour now runs internationally that the apparent Saudi Spy who partners Hillary Clinton kept a life insurance policy of emails left in her ex husband’s computer. And the FBI found it. And so the insurance policy has been cashed in early. And the FBI investigating a witch on Halloween have found incriminating evidence on her familiar’s Weiner.

One person who knows how to profit from central planning is Hillary Clinton. The Chicago Tribune is withdrawing support from her, and suggesting that Democrats replace Hillary. But corrupt news, like the Tribune, knew everything now known about Hillary as they supported her days ago. Maybe they are only backing a tribe, but not a policy? And Maybe they want to find another crook. I note that press, who had accepted Hillary's corruption, are now denouncing her Saudi Spy Handler

Donald Trump's speech at Gettysburg is frightening media. They have supported and protected insider corruption for a long time. Trump will clean up the festering wound, and make America great again.
