Caltex Fuel Rip off

During the festive seasons, the petrochemical companies jack the prices up of fuel in a BLATANT consumer rip off plan.

The mass media very rarely bring this into the spotlight of the general public, even though EVERY SINGLE motorist is fully aware that they are being ripped off.

In the illustration above, the photo shows the price of fuels of Unleaded/Diesel/LPG at 123.7 / 123.9/ 62.9 (cents per litre) respectively.

Just prior to the holiday season of Christmas the average price of LPG was 48 (c/litre).

An increase of approximately 28% has jumped literally overnight.

There is NO plausible reason given for this, and if such an event were to happen to a company's shares whilst trading on the stock market, there would be an inquiry.

The Australian Price Consumer Authority (ACCC) is literally doing NOTHING about this, and in effect supporting the petrochemical company's ripping off the consumer.

Gary Unmarried - Another LOSER show

Just recently another 'loser' television show has made it to the Australian air waves.

This time in the wrapping of Gary 'unmarried'.

Australian 'free to air' TV has his a rock bottom in terms of ANY programs that offer any sort of mental stimulus.

These show are a diet set for our children by the media. It is really cool if you are a loser, and make useless funny jokes that in reality would have you up for sexual harassment either in the workplace or in your private life.

This is a deliberate tactic employed by the people in power to DUMB down the Nation, and to generally lower ethical standards towards others.

Geoffrey Edelsten in helicopter crash

Dr Geoffrey Edelsten has vowed to fly again despite crashing his helicopter today while attempting his first solo flight.

Edelsten, 66, escaped with only minor injuries after crashing the aircraft at Melbourne’s Moorabbin Airport at about 10.15am today.

Nine News helicopter pilot Ben Harris, who was one of the first people on the scene, said the craft yawed strongly to the left shortly after take-off.

"You need to put a fair bit of 'pedal' in the aircraft when you take off and it looks like he just failed to do so," Mr Harris told the Nine News 11am bulletin.

Edelsten walked away from the crash and was treated at the scene in an ambulance for cuts to his hands.

“His first phone call was to his new bride, Brynne Gordon,” a spokeswoman for Edelsten said.

Walking a little gingerly, Edelsten left Moorabbin Airport shortly after midday to be reunited with 26-year-old Gordon.

He confirmed to a waiting media pack that he was fine — and that he had no intentions of quitting flying.

“It all happened very quickly,” he said.

“I was on my back looking up at the broken windshield and glass thinking this can’t be happening.”

He would not say where he was to meet Gordon as he got into a waiting car.

Edelsten’s spokeswoman confirmed the medical tycoon was on his first solo flight when he crashed.

But she insisted he was “an experienced pilot [who] has flown fixed-wing aircraft previously”.

Edelsten’s helicopter was incinerated despite the efforts of bystanders using extinguishers.

Mr Harris said he initially thought the tycoon was trapped but was quickly proven wrong.

"He was fine when he got out … he was walking around.

"He said something like, 'I wish that didn’t happen'.”

Ambulance Victoria spokesman Paul Bentley said the sole occupant was treated for a minor cut to the hand.

"He was assessed by paramedics but didn't go to hospital," he said.

Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman John Taylor said Edelsten was walking on the tarmac when fire crews arrived.

Mr Taylor said fire crews were on site to mop up fuel leaking from the helicopter.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) was also in attendance, he said.

Last month Edelsten, 66, wed 26-year-old Brynne Gordon in the most expensive wedding in Australian history, with the nuptials carrying a price tag of $3 million.

The extravagant ceremony at Melbourne’s Crown Casino raised eyebrows after '90s sitcom stars Fran Drescher and Jason Alexander were brought in to host the event, which was attended by more than 550 guests.

A user commented on DIGG:

The gold digger nearly got his money sooner than she expected.

The media also labeled him as an AFL 'personality'. Dr. Edelsten cannot 'practice' in Victoria as a result of fraud. Another concerning part about this is that he is an 'experienced' pilot.....

Octopuses using coconut shells as tools

Octopuses have been captured on camera using coconut shells as disguises and for protection, astonishing the Australian scientists who made the discovery.

Footage shot off Indonesia shows an octopus crawling along the ocean floor with two coconut shell halves suctioned to its underside, behaviour which biologists describe as "bizarre".

The octopus then reassembles the coconut and hides inside it, confirming the species as a tool-carrying animal, according to National Geographic.

Researchers from Melbourne's Museum Victoria filmed 20 veined octopuses carrying the coconut shells that were nearly twice as big as their 8cm bodies.

"We were blown away," biologist Mark Norman said.

"It was hard not to laugh underwater and flood your [scuba] mask."

The discovery comes from a 10-year study filming octopuses off the coast of Sulawesi and Bali.

Tool use by animals is seen as a sign of mental sophistication, with dolphins and chimpanzees also using tools.

Octopuses are considered to be among the smartest animals on Earth.

'Mr Christmas' loses 20kg due to financial crisis

A British man who has eaten a full Christmas dinner every day for the past 15 years has dropped nearly 20kg after being forced to cut his portions during the financial crisis.

Andy Park, dubbed "Mr Christmas" by the UK press, has been forced to cut his yearly dinner and decoration budget from $19,500 to $8900, The Sun newspaper reports.

Mr Park, a 45-year-old divorced electrician, has consumed nearly 118,000 brussel sprouts and about 5000 bottles of Moet champagne since he decided to get into the festive spirit full-time in July 1994, but since January he's had to slash his dinner portions.

"Before the credit crunch I was eating a 14-pound (6.3kg) turkey, now I'm down to a four pounder (1.8kg)," he told The Sun.

Mr Park has also cut down from nine large roast potatoes to four, now eats just 12 mince pies per day instead of 40, has just a tablespoon of peas and makes his bottle of champagne last two days.

He's also cut his sprout and stuffing ball consumption by more than half — leading to the drop in weight from 123kg to 101kg.

The budget cuts have been a boon for Mr Park's fitness: he is now walking every day and even able to complete 50 pushups.

The tight times have also forced the father-of-one to cut down on his use of party poppers and crackers, but he still manages to munch on mince pies and drink sherry for breakfast and a roast-turkey lunch before rewatching the Queen's Christmas speech on video.

Mr Park said he started the bizarre festive fetish when he was "feeling fed up" one July.

"I was bored, so I went home and put the decorations up — suddenly I was happy," he said.

"Since then my routine every day has been to get up and have seven or eight mince pies and a glass of sherry for breakfast —: after that I open my presents I've wrapped for myself."

AAMI Insurance - Fraudulent Claims

One of the current commercials aired on Australian television by AAMI Insurance, shows rather naive looking young lad polishing his VolksWagen Golf.

The lad then claims that from the savings made from his insurance policy he was able to re-spray his vehicle (from it's original colour) to Fire Hydrant Red.

AAMI then states that an average saving on it's policy is approx. $166.

A professional looking (as depicted in the advertisement) 're-spray' on any car in no where near the magnitude of the quoted $166, or even 10 times that amount.

Deliberately fraudulent claims and misleading information given to the general public.

A move that is supported by the advertising networks and omitted my the spineless ACCC.

As always NO legal action will follow.

IBM Wages Fraud - Corporate Crime

To anyone outside the I.T. industry, IBM Australia, represents a name that is synonymous with a large blue chip vendor, of quality and service.

From the inside though an entirely different picture exists.

Documentation, obtained, and partially reproduced in the above illustration indicates a slave labour camp.

IBM's managers are instructed to push (encourage) their workers to work above their 37.5 hours paid week, up to and over a 45 hour week, the added hours for free (i.e NOT paid for the hours worked, which is illegal under the Australian Trade Practices Act) , whilst IBM charges the customer, and reaps huge profits.

The documentation also reads that the workers must be at least 87% productive and the billable time must be a minimum of 91%.

In the documentation it is also urged for all profits to be diverted to IBM. (?)

IBM regularly fraudulently charges the customer for work NOT done but billed.

In a 5 day working week, IBM forces its employees to work an extra day for ZERO dollars.

From a financial perspective, if IBM's workforce is approx. 3000 people, then IBM has defrauded it's employees (3,000 x 7.5 ) is 22,500 hours per week. If charged at $120 / hour, then the fraud equates to $2.7 million dollars per week.

As a result IBM's customers are also getting ripped off in the process of false accounting.

This fraud has been confirmed by a leading law firm in Australia, and IBM is still getting away with it.

The bigger the crime the bigger the cover up.

Police hunt for Melbourne rape gang

Police are searching for up to eight youths believed to be responsible for the brutal gang rape of two 15-year-old girls in a park in the north of Melbourne.

In an attack described as "shocking", police said they believed the gang of men and teenagers planned the horrific rape in a well-lit park in Roxburgh Park, the Herald Sun reported.

Members of the gang followed the pair of schoolgirls from Broadmeadows train station to a McDonalds where the girls were lured to a park and repeatedly raped at around 10.30pm on October 24.

After drinking with the gang, the two girls were dragged to opposite ends of the park and raped, Detective Inspector Glenn Davies said.

"The girls were calling out to each other from either side of the park. Those calls were heard by witnesses," he said.

Police have released CCTV images of several men believed to be part of the gang of rapists responsible.

In the Northern suburbs, and surrounding area of
Roxburgh Park, Broadmeadows, Jacana and Meadow Heights, exists a ghetto of Turkish / Lebanese Muslim Trash.

Previously, over a generation or so ago, the area was occupied by Aussie trash.

The area has a high crime rate, and is racist in every way.
They are not allowed to marry Australians - i.e. RACIST.

Whilst any racist remark of Ango / White people are NOT tolerated against others, others CLEARLY discriminate against 'Anglos' and there are NO repercussions.

The government, through it's refugee migration policy, imports criminals from the above mentioned backgrounds, and 'dumps' them in these areas, resulting in the rape of 'our' children.

It would be a whole different legal system of the migrant trash resided in the Australian Capital Territory, and raped the children of the law makers and politicians.

So the legal system will punish the perpetrators for child rape, yes?

NZ imports 'unskilled and here to stay'

New research has proven what many Aussies long suspected - Australia is a magnet for New Zealand's most unskilled workers.

An analysis of census figures has revealed for the first time that New Zealanders who migrate across the Tasman are far more likely to work as machine operators and labourers than as professionals.

The research also showed that these less skilled workers are more likely to stay in Australia for life.

The findings were released as part of a New Zealand government investigation to lift Kiwi wages into line with Australia's and to stop the heavy trans-Tasman migration.

Wellington demographer James Newell found that 2.8 per cent of employed people in the Australian census were born in New Zealand.

These Kiwis make up 4.3 per cent of all machinery operators and drivers in Australia and 3.4 per cent of all labourers. They make up only 2.4 per cent of all professionals.

It also showed indigenous Maori New Zealanders are also more likely than non-Maori to have crossed the ditch.

"Net trans-Tasman population loss is skewed towards New Zealand-born without professional qualifications or skills," Dr Newell concluded.

Queensland sociologist Mary Power said the revelation supports Aussies' widely-held belief that only the poor and less skilled New Zealanders make the crossing.

"There's definitely a feeling among Australians that New Zealanders occupy our working class suburbs," said Dr Power, of Bond University.

"Especially because the Maori people are so distinct and visible on the streets, in Brisbane particularly.

"And this study seems to support that."

She said her research had proven this was actually a "myth" and the migrating Kiwis came from all walks of life.

But Dr Newell stands by his findings.

He said it is not yet clear if this is happening because Australia is more attractive to the less skilled, or whether they're going there only because they can't get into other countries.

The new findings come hot on the heels of other research released by the taskforce showing why Australia is so appealing to New Zealanders.

The study found that Aussies live longer, in bigger houses, with more money and more leisure time.

In fact, we scored better on every test of living standards except one dubious marker showing New Zealand had more McDonald's burger bars.

The imbalance is clearly getting to the Kiwis who on Wednesday exclaimed on the front page of their New Zealand Herald "even their Christmas parties are better than ours".

Police investigate doctor after second death

Police are investigating a Sydney doctor after the body of a young Brazilian student was found in his apartment, the second body to be found in the Elizabeth Bay unit this year.

Suellen Dominguez Zaupa died from a suspected cocaine overdose and was found dead in the apartment of the doctor on November 21, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Ms Zaupa had travelled from Brazil to Sydney to study hospitality management, and was living in a share house at Crows Nest on Sydney's North Shore.

She wrote on her Facebook profile that "Life looks after those that live it" less than a week before her death.

Last Thursday police charged a 41-year-old neurosurgeon with supplying an indictable quantity of a prohibited drug.

He has since been suspended by the NSW Medical Board and will face Downing Centre Local Court on December 15.

Ms Zaupa is the second young woman to die in the doctor’s home after the body of another woman in her 20s, named by the Daily Telegraph as Victoria McIntyre, was found in the Elizabeth Bay apartment on February 16.

Police have not released details of Ms McIntyre's death, but the NSW Coroner is investigating.

Neighbours told the Herald women dressed as "party girls" would constantly come in and out of Dr Nair's apartment.

Friends close to Ms Zaupa said she was not a prostitute as reported over the weekend.

"The lifestyle she lived was by no means that of a high-class escort and none of us who knew her well believe she would be capable of doing such a thing," Ms Zaupa's flatmate, who did not want to be named, told the newspaper.

She said Ms Zaupa went out to Kings Cross occasionally but would usually spend time closer to home or on Sydney's northern beaches.

Ms Zaupas father is understood to be on the way to Sydney from his home in Brazil.
