Introduced weeds. Have recently watched an American produced Program - :"Dirty JOBS". **
I love it. one of the few "Septic Tank" TV shit that i can cope with.
Melaleuca .. oops, as well as the Californian eucalyptus, it seems that Australian invasive species is not only in Hollywood .... heh.
Um, at this point am only aware of the Free to air TV program "Dirty Jobs", on Australian Broadcasting Network ... funded by the Australian taxpayer as a "Public Service".
However, also found it, fund it, on Googles 'Youtube' - so who funds it - who stumps up the money to fund and make these sorts of programes??
NOT Google - PIGGYBACK on other efforts and funding????
Youtube pays zero on 'publicly supplied video'. Oh yes, after Google purchased the 'startup' idea of 'youtube' for a few million and turned it into a multiBillion "advertising" industry ...
It still remains some sort of TITLE click bait.
"THE WORST AIRCRAFT CRASH IN HISTORY!!" attracts more 'clicks' and "views" - than 'aircraft expert crash investigators try to discover why'.
Or - Headlines - "TERRORIST DRIVES INTO SHOPPING CENTRE" .... until one discovers that some elderly daft bloke mistook the accelerator from the brake and broke the window of a hairdressing shop ...
and never let a "commercial" TV station 'reporter' stand too far away from the 'disaster' image which has the 'advertisers' image somewhere in the background.
"Commercial" TV reporter standing in front of serious multilevel apartment fire ...
Waffle, waffle ... Cut to
Advertisement for Fire Insurance ..... ????
Crap. Serious emotional manipulation.

Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it. It can't fall down, there is nothing holding it up... Except some sort of capitalist exploitation. The writer is a 3rd generation Indigenous Australian. Not, i might add, Aboriginal - two different concepts.

The magic of invisible punctuation
AHA! All is explained. When Tony Abbott says "No new taxes" ... "No cuts to ABC or SBS". "No surprises" etc. -
What us stupid Aussies failed to see was the invisible comma , that bit .... heh.
What he REALLY meant was ...
"No, new taxes". "No, cuts to ABC and SBS". "No, changes to pensions". "No, surprises".
Bit like Tony Abbott's invisible god, i guess.
god, and Tony Abbott, apparently work in mysterious ways - just (another three word slogan) 'Trust and Believe'.
ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY INVISIBLE COMMA

Who changed my profile pic?
Own up ( email me)
(be nice to know "how"; but if you tell me who, or indeed "why" - I might put the image 'upfront', if that makes sense).
