Battling timeframes and mainframes

I WOULD support women’s sport a lot more if it was on at a more humane, or crocmane, time.

Surely I wasn’t the only one neck deep in the aural swamp of The Voice wondering where the hell the Matildas were last Monday.

Slow on the uptake, I’d Clockwork Orange’d my way through something horrendous called ‘The Blinds’ - where only viewers can see the karaoke performers - before the shocking realisation that kick-off wasn’t at 8pm.

No, it would not be until 8.30pm. And on a Monday? No chance. I was in a deep slumber before the Matildas nutmegged their way to a 1-0 lead.

Thankfully FIFA got my email and Wednesday’s kickoff is 8pm.

What happens in Vegas...

Still on sport and what the NRL is doing bothering with a few games of league in Vegas next year is beyond me. The headlines suggest Rusty Crowe, Mike Cannon Brooks, Hugh Jackman and ‘social media’ will play a part in getting Americans on board with league. Sure. Then in the same article Rusty says he hasn’t even been contacted by the NRL. He might even be too busy to go to a game due to filming commitments. If it looks like a waste of time and sounds like a waste of time, it probably is. mainframe to the kitchen table so to speak. Maybe it’s the images and concepts from 1984 still seared in my mind. AI as of today though is a piece of crap. Asked to create an image of a typical overrule it all.

If you live here and love this place then you need to say so ! - “this is my Sunshine Coast, I live here !

You are very welcome to visitbut hey, if you want to live here, great, but don’t try and change what we have and love and how we live - just to suit your needs and wants

We have to be very careful that what we have and love now, and what makes, the Sunshine Coast what it is - is not swallowed up by, expedient change, development without any forethought or community consultation and putting a environmental area at risk that is there for a very good reason.

There is a online petition which I urge people to sign www.scec. org.au/hallscreek_petition

Stamp out slavery

FOR readers who are into statistics, here’s one for youThere are “40,000 IN AUSTRALIA” - With 50 million worldwide, that’s a pretty good ratio. There are also 11 million in India, 6 million in China, 2 million in Russia and millions more in America, Africa and Indonesia.

So who/what is this statistic for?

I was alarmed to hear these are all people trapped in modern slavery and human trafficking!.

It has a $99 billion per year turnover. Destinyrescue.org.au (based on the Sunshine Coast) and Australia Freedom Network (Australian Government, Canberra) are working to rescue as many as is possible. Who would’ve thought this many people are trapped in this modern injustice.
