Tell him to tell the Saudi King he's some kind of idiot, stop the waste! Consider using French it's the language of diplomacy (ie., instead of idiot saying potentially ill advised).

Hey my father Gary (just a nickname folks around him like from Spain used, not his actual name), was fond of telling me: those are your perceptions.
These are my perceptions:
1) Candace was banned by Australia's left wing government from getting a visa. This is eyebrow raising and extreme. It begs the question, what have successive Australian Federal governments been doing with male prostitutes brought into Parliament House in Canberra. To understand more about this and consider, from a legal perspective, whether the crime of sacrilege (an actual crime in Australia) has been committed, we need to consider what actual parliament house security guards have to say.
2) my perceptions about Harvey in particular. Riding high for years then post under the bus years, bent and stooped. These are my perceptions, not a legal opinion unlike the legal opinion I just shared about male prostitutes in Parliament House in Canberra.
3) I have not followed Harvey's legal or media case situation enough to be prejudiced for or against him. I do believe he's dancing with the devil in a toxic environment where people are gunning for millions of dollars and dopey fame in order to live a lie to some extent. I don't believe Uma Thurman is not being disingenuous in her representations about Harvey in the media. I think alot of these women wanted big rolls and big parts and jerking Harvey off or whatever he wanted was par for the course. You couldn't convince me these leading ladies aren't dumb slutbags. They're just kidding themselves if they thought otherwise. Same as Federal MPs in Australia that mess around with male prostitutes in prayer rooms (sacrilege) or elsewhere (prostitution).
4) As I say, I never followed the case closely from a legal perspective so I can only say I'd definitely believe Harvey is telling the truth when he says he won on appeal them was reconvicted. Being a big shot producer surrounded by greedy lying sluts (Hollywood leading actresses) doesn't make one immune to the law.
5) I always thought Harvey was a bully and handsy since this case opened up to the public.

Health bosses rack up $400,000 travel bill while patients wait for care

Senior bosses at a taxpayer-funded health charity in regional NSW spent more than three-quarters of a million dollars on new cars and all-expenses-paid trips to New Zealand, Canada and Las Vegas while turning away patients waiting weeks to receive healthcare.
Staff at CTG Aboriginal Health Services, which receives more than $10 million in state and federal funding annually on top of nearly $5 million in non-government revenue, say they are infuriated with the charity, which is also facing allegations that its board limited access to medical abortions at its Dubbo clinic and did not properly investigate a staff member who inappropriately accessed patient records.

Just one full-time GP remains at the Dubbo clinic after more than half of 20 staff members resigned at the end of last year following a vote of no confidence in the board and chief executive Phil Naden. The charity employs 67 people across its clinics in Dubbo, Coonamble and Gilgandra.
In a letter signed by 10 staff members and sent to the board in August last year, staff expressed outrage that Naden and senior board members used the charity’s funds to travel to New Zealand, India, Canada and the NRL opening round in Las Vegas, while new patients were turned away from the clinic because of staff shortages and rising demand.
“I feel like headbutting the wall most days because we can’t provide the services that our community needs,” one former employee told the Herald, speaking anonymously for fear of reprisals.
The charity’s latest financial report reveals its travel budget has grown from $30,000 to $408,000 in the past five years, while vehicle costs have doubled in the same period to almost $350,000.
Naden declined to comment. Chair Brendon Harris said the service had clear protocols to ensure any travel “aligns with business objectives and internal policy”.
“CAHS [Coonamble Aboriginal Health Service] is committed to improving the lives of Aboriginal people and the wider community it serves,” Harris said in a statement.
“We are confident that our internal processes and governance frameworks provide the necessary oversight and accountability to support appropriate decision-making.”
Aboriginal community-controlled health organisations (ACCHOs) aim to provide culturally appropriate and holistic healthcare to thousands of Indigenous Australians at more than 500 clinics nationwide. Both advocates and the federal government say they are central to efforts to close the gap in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
But the service breakdown in Dubbo threatens to derail efforts to improve the health of some 14,000 Indigenous people in the region, who suffer from heart disease, kidney disease and lung conditions at rates higher than the state and national average.
It has also led staff, patients and advocates to question whether there is enough oversight of an organisation receiving more than $10 million in state and federal funds each year.
“Some of these red flags, I wouldn’t call them red flags now. They’re explosions,” said Tim Horan, a former chief executive of the service and a former mayor of Coonamble Shire Council.
Travel costs blow out
From a lavish corporate box high up in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, some of the charity’s most senior leaders watched Manly and South Sydney make history in the first game of the NRL’s Sin City experiment.
After seven tries, three lead changes and a try-saving ankle tap, the Sea Eagles prevailed, and the party inside the corporate box continued on to Zouk Nightclub on the famous Las Vegas Boulevard.
Back in Dubbo, staff were growing frustrated with their bosses, who had travelled to North America to attend an Aboriginal finance officers conference in Winnipeg, Canada. It was a work trip funded by the charity, but when staff attempted to contact their colleagues, they received automated replies stating they were on annual leave.
Harris said the board approved the trip as a development opportunity for senior leadership, and the Vegas stopover was “part of a package deal”.
“No funding from any government contract was used in relation to this trip,” Harris said.

But staff were not happy when they opened social media to see photos of Naden, their chief executive, and executive officer Beau Ewers drinking at the “Dawg House” sports bar in Las Vegas. Nor were they pleased to see their bosses living it up in the corporate box while they struggled to find appointments for patients back home.
Corporate boxes at Allegiant Stadium for the 2024 NRL opener cost about $12,500 for eight people, or $1500 per person, a rugby league source said.
“People are suffering in our community … while they [the CEO and board members] are tripping around doing this and that,” said one former employee.
For disgruntled employees, the Vegas trip was the latest example of what they saw as increasingly unjustifiable spending on non-clinical expenses.

Executives, including Naden, have also travelled to New Zealand to meet Maori leaders, and India to promote an app for his preventative health organisation “Fair Dinkum Choices”. Harris said these trips were also approved by the board and funded by non-government revenue.
In 2019, the year Naden succeeded Horan as chief executive, the service spent $32,000 on travel and $153,000 on vehicle costs.
By June 2024, annual travel expenses had ballooned to $408,000 – a 12-fold increase in five years. Vehicle costs doubled to $343,000 in the same period.

Both significantly outpaced revenue growth, which grew 30 per cent from $11.6 million in 2019 to $15.4 million in 2024.
Almost 60 per cent of the service’s $15.4 million revenue last year came from the Commonwealth, including $6.8 million from the Department of Health.
Another $1.4 million came from the NSW government, including a $132,000 grant announced by Health Minister Ryan Park last year towards the “Fair Dinkum Choices” preventative health campaign.
The three clinics made a combined $2.9 million in Medicare rebates last financial year.
The service delivered a surplus in its last financial report. Former employees told the Herald they grew frustrated that so much money was spent on travel while frontline services were missing and staff vacancies remained unfilled.
“It’s a lot of money that we could have been spending on new equipment, or a new GP or another nurse,” said one former employee.
Rumblings of discontent
In June, NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant toured Dubbo Aboriginal Medical Service, operated by CTG Aboriginal Health, where she shared positive Indigenous vaccination statistics for the region, according to the service’s social media posts.
However, chronic staff vacancies and unrest have severely blunted the practice’s ability to deliver those vaccines, according to five current and former staff members who spoke to the Herald.
The service employed seven full-time GPs at the end of 2019. But just as the COVID-19 pandemic reached Australia and health experts were raising fears about the virus getting into vulnerable Indigenous communities, six doctors were made redundant – leaving Dr Amy-Lea Perrin, a Wiradjuri woman born and raised in Dubbo, as the only fully qualified GP at the service.

Perrin declined to comment for this story. She told NITV News in 2021 that she was the only person able to administer vaccines at the clinic and a shortage of doctors in the region was hampering efforts to boost vaccination rates.
“It is very difficult to try and balance the vaccination clinics and normal day-to-day work that we [do] as GPs,” she said.
Harris said the six doctors who left before the pandemic decided not to accept full-time employment during the restructure, and were replaced with three full-time doctors.
But only one of those GPs works at the Dubbo clinic, staff said, with the other two working full-time in Gilgandra and Coonamble.
The service has also contracted locum GPs to cover appointments for weeks at a time, but staff said this was far from ideal for patients needing continuous care.
“It’s not great for long-term care in our chronic patients,” said one.
At one point last year, waitlists for a normal appointment blew out to six weeks, two former employees said.
Harris said the clinic’s manager made the decision to close the books without consulting the board or Naden, who “ordered the decision to be reversed”.
“The books are currently open to new patients,” he said.
When the Herald called the practice earlier this month, a receptionist said their books remained closed to new patients. Three days later, after questions were sent to Naden, staff were told they were now opening the books to new patients.
Harris said a shortage of nurses had led to a pause on accepting new patients. The Dubbo clinic has not had a midwife or a child and family nurse since 2020, despite financial records showing the service received $767,019 for “children and family services” in the last financial year.
One former healthcare worker said the lack of nursing staff in particular had limited the clinic’s ability to immunise Indigenous children in the community.
“We’ve had to cancel immunisations because there’s a lack of staff,” the former employee said. “We secure this funding, and then we’re not providing that care to our community.”
The service had 67 employees last financial year. At least 10 staff at the Dubbo clinic have departed the service since signing the vote of no-confidence letter in August.
The Herald has spoken to three other staff who have either formally resigned or are absent indefinitely on stress leave.
Eight current and former staff shared concerns that clients, who did not trust mainstream health services, had nowhere else to go.
“A lot of our patients actively avoid the hospital,” said one. “We’ve had a lot of issues with the local [public] health service over the years, so quite a lot of our patients will actually come to us, even if they’re critically unwell. We need enough staff to actually look after them.”

Ethical concerns
In the August letter, staff alleged the board prohibited GPs from prescribing the MS-2 Step oral abortion medication to patients, and threatened disciplinary action if they disobeyed.
“We had non-medically trained board members saying, ‘Nope, you’re not doing that’,” one staff member said.
Staff also alleged Naden’s son, an Aboriginal health practitioner at the service, inappropriately accessed a colleague’s medical records to gain information about a recent presentation to hospital.
Harris said the matter was referred to the Health Care Complaints Commission and then the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Council, which referred Naden’s son to counselling.
In the August letter, staff demanded more control over the service and said the board’s financial decisions had failed to meet the needs of their patients.
“This has led to [our clinic] stagnating instead of flourishing,” the letter said.
Former chief executive Horan said Dubbo, where about 16.5 per cent of people identify as Indigenous, deserves a functional health service that can deliver for the community.
“The service in Dubbo should be one of the biggest in Australia,” he said. “There are huge priorities out there, and I don’t think they’re being met when you can’t even see a doctor.”

I do read a lot of valuable journalism from Australia's taxpayer funded ABC on occasion. Here's an excellent example highlighting abuses in the early childcare sector. In a way it's surprising how much thorough and we'll researched print journalism comes out of the Australian taxpayer funded ABC when you consider how fraught interpersonal relationships and communication must be at the ABC. One can only imagine armies of women scared of men who don't act hyper effeminate or gay. Fat white inner city women Karens highly opinionated and expert at gender studies. Walking around being a convenient emotional tampon punching bag as a white male for everything wrong with society and effeminate men stroking they hair coquettishly. No thanks.

My best buddy Mike, his old man's name is Gary. I don't think I ever explained basically no-one in Spain was called Gary except for my father and it was as a result of his father, also a Jose Antonio, seeing a Gary Cooper movie after it was a new release. Although in Spanish you have to say Gueri.
Anyway Trump's dregs of society ay? How about only open Alcatraz for Canadian dregs?
Anyway I never heard Gary talking about his scum of the earth unless it was often in tandem with his lesbian do-gooders. So maybe a co-ed Alcatraz exclusively for Canadian scum of the earth and lesbian do-gooder dregs???? I could go for that. I'll have what she's having.

Speaking about flies in the front garden, it's the second time we have a dead possum between my neighbours front lawn and mine. I think it falls from the power pole after being electrocuted. Sure has a lot of maggots eating it.
What's up? Finished driving Saturday around 830pm and just watching tv in the bus depot last five hours. Kind of have insomnia. Unfortunately I couldn't watch fox news. There might still be time to coach them to win the world series but I'm hedging my bets watching the crime channel, cops, etc on the crime channel.
Briefly watching fox news today reminded me of my brother Jose(ph Stalin) (additional nomenclature in parenthesis just additional nicknames, not his real actual name) talking about the 'old Russia rearing it's ugly head'.
I mean these Fox News people are always looking over they shoulder at the Joy Behar and Whoopi like they strapped. They're somewhat ridiculous. Eggs are cheaper for all the working poor folks like eighteen cents per egg.
I just want to sleep, cut Lizzy's grass tomorrow morning, go home.
Let me see your hands!
Ok I barely got any sleep for some reason just lying on the floor of the bus depot. It's paradise just hanging out with bus drivers once a week when you're around annoying kids all week. You want to savour every moment even just lying on the floor in the sleepy room. It's like church camp but every weekend.
Speaking of the devil, I haven't seen Trump's pope picture yet but one of my colleague's asked me to sign my name Trump on the bus dispatch sheet and Trump's former colleague says this:
Michael Steele, a Roman Catholic, former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Trump critic who now is a MSNBC host, wrote in an X post Saturday: "During this period of Novemdiales (mourning the loss of Pope Francis) I'll set this offense aside because Trump in his narcissism gets off on our being offended. More to the point, this affirms how unserious and incapable he is. At 78 he remains a 10yo child, emotionally scarred and broken while desperate to prove he could be somebody. His problem: he can't grow up to prove it."
I think Michael Steele is allowed to have a gay tizzy diva moment. You go girl!
Wouldn't worry about Joy and Behar and Whoopsi, they haven't stepped to me yet ...

Like the Brittany Higgins saga, this is yet another Australian news story I was utterly unaware of as it unfolded. The gay Liz schmaltzy, obscure, rednecky, sound of Australian tv coupled with actual idiocy and profound stupidity in the case of shows like 'the Project', part gay part obnoxious, unbearable.
On the other hand I made an American friend, Sam from Philadelphia, I think it was, that was clerking with very senior judges in the judiciary system here. I think with the NSW supreme court or else with the federal court. I came to learn from Sam one judge had lost a close family member to suicide. I looked up his name and sure enough he was real, however the information from Sam was probably true but secret. Also one of her colleagues was a Greek Australian chap and charged with a drug offence which was incongruous with working for senior judges but there you have it.
