Project 365–Jan 2012

 

By now I assume everyone knows what a P365 is. This year, as per last year that went anonymously into a 3rd-party photo site, I am doing a Project 365. Keeping it simple, I am doing it from camera phone/point-and-shoot only. The idea is to create inspiration when you only have basic tools to work with instead of the real DSLR> January was busy – my creativity is someone zapped.

 

 

And yes I am aware there are more than 28 days in January….. –3 for me I did take a couple on the point & shoot but can’t find them at thm. Will edit if they appear.

visually disturbing

A few visual sights I have found disturbing recently:

- A 5yo girl wearing a miniskirt so short I saw her g string when she bent over.

- A pink toilet bowl on the side of the street that someone had taken the initiative to use (hard rubbish collection, where people dump furniture etc on the side of the road).

- Someone had stuck a photo of a guy on the cow up a tree - http://blog.panedia.com/2007/04/27/docklands-cow-up-a-tree/

-One of the regulars at my local pub spill bill on himself because he was trying to drink while pissing at the urinal.

- An indian cabby getting changed in the back of his cab (fully changed).

-The amount of blood that can be mixed with snot when you have a seriously blocked nose.

-The fungus growing on one of my supposedly ‘bacterial’ plates.

- The ants pouring out of the mini-CBD buildings in the docklands and running to get to the train station (by ants I mean people in suits).

Lab or Lib

So, who is happy with the new government? Are people amazed by the new budget? Has it made Australia better off. Are they happy with the labor government's point-of-view that a complete stagnation of the economy is the only solution?

Regardless of what I think, the figures don't add up. 16000 people will apparently miss out on the baby bonus now, and about 40,000 will miss out on some form of family benefit tax. Interesting since the last sensis showed 216,000 Australian households earning over $150,000.

Funding for medical research/science has been redistributed, reconfigured and essentially reduced. The previous government has steadily increased funding over the last 10 years to come almost level with other developed countries (obviously paling in comparison to the states). This government kept the total amount of funding the same. When you factor in quite a large inflation, funding for Medical research/Science has decreased. No wonder people head overseas and take their gifted minds/inventions with them.

I liked Rudd when he was just the local MP in brissy. The government is screwing the country up, and the liberals are like pathetic little kids bickering over the scraps thrown to them after their defeat.
