The secret they don't want you to know about the Floods in Australia

The fact is that much of the area was built on because the land was so cheap because it floods. On top of the fact that fed and state government subsidized the building in areas that flood.

Instead of moving the place to higher grounds and abandoning areas that flood and using the flood water , they let a badly needed resource cause chaos. Dumber and dumbest.

Just wait, in a few years they will screaming they need drought assistance. What fucking circus of fools.

Things they don't want you to know about Australia. Australia is becoming more and more unstable. They had to put a fence around the Federal parliament because they are afraid of the public.

https://www.ashurst.com/en/news-and-insights/legal-updates/australias-falling-performance-in-transparency-internationals-corruption-perceptions-index/

The politicians fought against federal ICAC, even this would be weak as piss but even the tiniest oversight is a threat to no holds bar corruption. Esafe laws in Australia is to put a muzzle on free speech. If you defame someone you can go bankrupt if they are richer than you but if you are poorer, you get paid less for the same defamation. Most people are afraid to speak their mind on important topics and confine it to sport out of fear.

Michael Pascoe: Housing no longer a crisis - it’s much worse than that

https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2022/03/05/michael-pascoe-housing-crisis-emergency/

Adopting successful European public housing models would literally bebuilding back better, but government isn’t interested in doing that.

yes but by leaving out the obvious that negative gearing pushed out the owner occupiers and that the Australian economy relies on laundered money to fund the place. Yea its no change is going to happen. ON top of the fact Australia is a vassal state.

Telstra admits 5G congestion but does it also admit that they are forcing people onto NBN to subsidize the Failed NBN

https://www.whistleout.com.au/Broadband/Guides/What-5G-modems-Australia

Looking more broadly, 5G home internet won't necessarily replace the need for the NBN. Fixed line networks such as the NBN have a much larger capacity than wireless networks like 5G, and as such, are more resistant to issues such as congestion. For example, Telstra says there's a limit to how many 5G home internet services it will sell per post code, to ensure good performance for every customer.

Things they don't want you to know about Australia. Though having unreliable and slow internet is part of Australia in 2022 and 5g modems are like unicorns. Can't find any.

As we know the discussions are shut down on other forums and here we can see fear run the much of the lack of interest and apathy in the internet slow ping, slow response and absolute shambles of unreliability. The fear is that the next victims won't turn up. The hiding the disaster in plain sight and non discussion of it as the disaster is pushed onto the next generation as people find out how far Australia is behind the rest of the world. This disaster is hidden and not discussed so people overseas can be surprised on how shit the internet really is here.

There is already a class divide with fiber optic for the wealthy suburbs and important political seats and the rest of the shithouse disaster. Now the bandaids are put on the festering disaster. They are forcing people to put in by not supplying 5G modems. The question is there not enough 5G bandwidth and/or the disaster requires subsidizes from the people who can afford to pay to keep up the HFC dogs breakfast.

Lets reiterate it again, Not only are the part that aren't fiber optic more expensive to maintain but unreliable. Australian federal government is run by people and former people who have not on no love for Australia but are in it to make a profit at any expensive on the rest of society. The NBN disaster has characteristics of brazen lying, Desperation, stupidity, ignorance and cultivated idiocy is encouraged by the business community. Notable people that made it possible to fail are the same people who claim that big government projects are bound to fail and main stream media. We have to single out former PM Malcolm Turnbull, Murdoch, Abbott , Current and former CEOs from Telcos and NBN yes men. .

Things they don't want you to know about Australia. The shitty internet is being throttled by NBN.

Turnbull's MTM model deliberately destroyed the Internet in Australia due to Ideological point scoring. He wanted to show that government can not deliver big projects. Its a win fail for big money interests.

They put in servers and equipment that can't do the job yet NBN internal staff, get bonuses for a great job. The contractors underpaid, under trained and in court and its ignored by the media. This disaster is on going and insiders delay and delay and obfuscate.

If you internet is slow, assuming that you don't have some other failure, its NBN. I wouldn't be surprised that the rubbish they put in the backbone is heat effected.

The things they don't want you to know about Australia. Internet in Australia is throttled and there is no laws against it.

In the European Union, throttling for any reason other than authentic system administration is unlawful under the location's internet controls. In Australia, deliberate bandwidth throttling is commonplace as a means to prevent network congestion.

and

Was with Optus when they started ADSL2+. It was fine, up until it wasn’t. Speeds of 0.4mbps

for months on end. No idea why. 7 months of complaining and trying to
get speed and money back even Optus told me to switch. Switched
provider. Same modem, same lines. 24mbps.
So basically Optus just flicked a switch for me, so I could have crap internet

google search results put up.

Government in visa fee refund bid to attract backpackers to support struggling workforce, really to find new victiims.

https://themarketherald.com.au/federal-government-in-visa-fee-refund-bid-to-attract-backpackers-to-support-struggling-workforce-2022-01-19/

We kind find workers, but we have heaps of unemployed. Why is that? Let the main stream media cucks tell it like everyone is too lazy to work and have it too good here. Rather then everything is expensive in australia because the federal government ( alp and LNp) failed to plan is a plan to fail.

Funny how all the articles about sexual harassment and police not doing their job on farms is missing. Why is that? Yea how many people go missing in australia? all that has been scrubbed. Thanks doogle.

Find BS apology articles from guardian rag.

Evidence of the Australian population ponzi scheme and time lines

yes its behind a paywall. People don't come in, landlords and property speculators wait and wait and bang the property starts falling and the panic sets in.

https://www.smh.com.au/property/news/sydney-melbourne-house-prices-in-surprise-fall-at-auction-20211207-p59fgd.html

https://www.afr.com/property/residential/melbourne-house-prices-fall-for-the-first-time-in-14-months-20211230-p59kwe

It was no surprise to me. Do I think property is going to crash? No but I think we are going to have sideways or negative property price trend. Then the fed gov will panic and find ways to swamp the place with people to get that to change.

https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/watchdog-takes-coles-to-court-over-108-million-in-unpaid-wages-20211202-p59e7i.html

against Coles, claiming the retailer had underpaid 7500 salaried
employees a total of $115 million between January 2017 and March 2020,
because it worked staff for more hours than they were formally paid for.

The secret they don't want you to know in Australia. Ambulance cost is more than the cost of treatment

This debacle still hasn't been fixed because its a feature, not a bug. They love it. Yea immigrate over here and see what other traps exist.

If you don't have ambulance cover, a trip to the hospital that would take 10 mins by car will cost you $700 by ambulance.

Without Immigration , Australia would die off. The biggest Ponzi scheme in the world.

Australia is killing off the locals with harsh reality of lack of employment or a living wage and hatred towards anyone who complains about it. The place is just a ponzi scheme based on immigration.  

The fertility rate of 1.66 babies per woman doesn't lie, its not even replacement level.

Australian Telecommunications steal from customers and then get told again to just give some money over and you are forgiven.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-09/accc-telstra-optus-tpg-court-nbn-speeds-maximum-plans-misleading/100362298

"Collectively, hundreds of thousands of consumers were allegedly misled by these three big internet providers, Telstra, Optus and TPG, which accepted payments for NBN speeds they could not provide," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.

At one side, NBN pigs use sham contracting to steal from the contractors and the other pigs steal from customers. Not enough they overcharge for shitty service. Then I keep getting fuckheaded arselicking morons who constantly tell me, im good. nothing wrong with my net. When the cunt finds out, because of ego, he won't tell. Yea he is battling an internet random.

The brainwashed rule this planet.

We had 1 million dozes of AstraZeneca expire, I guess censorship & lying comes back back to bite.

I can't even find it source any more. Our internet is ruined to the point that censorship on top of censorship and everyone is afraid. Maybe its always like this. dog eat dog nothing else. Say anything and it doesn't matter as long as it can't be unproven.

We were told that vaccine roll out was going fine until not , it was flipped and the same commentators make no differentiation as if it was not rolling out from the beginning. They were telling us it was doing fine and everyone got what they wanted. blah blah.

Australian mainstream media is just double speak with propaganda with fat pigs pontificating.

NBN chaos, turned out like the oligarchs wanted , give to the rich and take from the poor. An example of a captured political parties by local and global oligarchs, Australia's resource curse keeps on delivering.

http://www.cepu.org/category/telecommunications/nbn/

MEDIA ALERT When: 7:30AM Monday May 3, 2021What: NBN technicians meet to discuss walking off job over NBN chaos .Where: Parramatta Park, entry via Pitt Street (Near old Government House) Media contact: Amelia Brock, 0430 187 161 Technicians working on the NBN project around the country may walk off the job tomorrow over cuts to their pay rates, a debacle causing chaos

and

News of the NBN Co Chief’s $3.1 million salary is a national disgrace, after axing hundreds of jobs in the middle of a pandemic and overseeing a shonky NBN network rollout.   CEPU Communications Division National Assistant Secretary James Perkins said “It’s absolutely outrageous that NBN boss Stephen Rue is pocketing $3.1 million of taxpayer funds only to slash 800 jobs.

The issue not discussed is why this failure happens in the first place? How can a good idea become a bad idea?The same people telling you that big government is bad are in the government are in it destroying it. At the minimum we need Federal crime commission for the politicians.

Tony Abbott granted travel exemption to take on UK Brexit job

Is it ok for some people to get exemptions to travel because they know someone?

>Former prime minister Tony Abbott was granted an exemption from the Australian government's international travel ban to fly to London where he has accepted a job spruiking British trade after Brexit.

>Abbott was appointed by Trade Secretary Liz Truss and the pair had breakfast together in London on Wednesday to confirm his new role advising the UK Trade Board.

IMHO one of the most destructive politicians that made the lives of Australians worse.
