23.01.2022 A customer asked me how much it cost to do this job.... I answered him: $ 1500 He said: So expensive for this job? I asked: How much do you think it would cost ...you? He answers me: $ 800 maximum... That's a pretty simple job right? !" - For $ 800 I invite you to do it yourself. - But.... I don't know how to. - For $800 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $700, you'll get the knowledge for the next time you want - It seemed right to him and he agreed. - But to get started: you need tools: A welder, grinder, chop saw, drill press, welding hood, gloves etc... - But I don't have all these equipment and I can't buy all of these for one job. - Well then for another $300 more I'll rent my stuff to you so you can do it. - Okay, he says. - Okay! Tuesday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work - But I can't on Tuesday I only have time today. - I'm sorry, but I'm only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers. - Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Tuesday, give up my tasks. - I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the nonproductive factors. - That is? What is this?" - Bureaucratic, tax, vat, security, insurance, fuel etc. - Oh no!... But to accomplish these tasks, I'm going to spend more money and waste a lot of time! - Do you have them? You can do it to me before?" - Okay! - I'll make you all the material you need. Truck loading is done Monday evening or Tuesday morning you'll have to come by 6 loading the truck. Don't forget to be on time to avoid traffic jams and be on time - At 6??? Nope! Too early for me! I used to getting up later. ... - You know, I've been thinking. Y ' all better get the job done. I'd rather pay you the $1500. If I had to, it wouldn't be perfect and it would cost me a lot more. When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also: - Knowledge - Experience - Study - Tools - Services - Time to go - punctuality - Accountability - Professionalism - Accuracy - Guaranteed - Patents - Sacrifices - Safety and security - Payment of tax obligations No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices. Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost. I did not write this dialogue, but am sharing it to support craftsmen and entrepreneurs.

18.01.2022 Only for our people I’m a proud Queenslander. But I am, and always will be, an even prouder Australian.... In 1900, when Sir Henry Parks drafted the rabble of the Australian states together as one Federation - it was the birth of our great country. Parkes dreamed of a nation united in common purpose, values and shared gain. In 1915, when young Australians sailed off to Gallipoli and died in foreign trenches they sacrificed under a common flag. In 1939, when we fought on foreign shores and defended our own island nation against foreign oppressors we did so as Australians - not for our post codes. I love barracking for Queensland in the state of origin just the same as I barracked for Ricky Ponting scoring a hundred, Ian Thorpe winning gold, Shane Warne turning them square, Lleyton Hewitt fist pumping at the Australian Open, Daniel Ricciardo in the formula one or Des Abbott or Nova Peris in the hockey. It’s fine to be parochial for your home state but we are all still one people living in a country girt by sea. No matter what your politics, you can only be ashamed of our Queensland Premier in her handling of the border lock outs in Queensland. 'People living in NSW they have NSW hospitals. In Queensland we have Queensland hospitals for our people,' she said. We have people from NSW literally dieing because they can’t get access to the closest hospitals which happens to be separated by a line drawn 150 years ago. We have parents in NSW who can’t bring their kids home from boarding school because the closest schools are in Queensland. We had, up until a week ago, farmers who couldn't access stock because of a border that has no relevance to their communities. We have family and businesses separated - not because of the risk of Covid - but because some moron thinks a border is more important than the risk itself. Victoria has been hard hit by Covid. More accurately Melbourne. There has very few cases let alone deaths outside of the Melbourne metropolis. Despite this, country Victoria is in a draconian lock down that serves little purpose or makes little sense. NSW or more accurately Sydney has a few clusters. But there has been hardly a case let alone a death north of Newcastle or west of Penrith. And while our Queensland premier is spruiking bread and circuses over landing the AFL grand final her state and her country weeps. Our Queensland economy was a basket case prior to Covid and is only now being propped up by Federal Government support - funded by all Australian tax payers. A true Australian or a politician with half a brain or heart would be offering support to their neighbours while they are suffering - not kicking sand in their eyes for their own political gain. Queensland has had 1000 Covid cases and 6 deaths. Compare this to Victoria with 20,000 cases and 576 deaths or NSW with 4000 cases and 50 deaths. It would make sense that those who are outside of Covid hotspots in those states would be allowed entry to Queensland for medical assistance rather than overload an already overloaded system in their own states defined by imaginary lines. The sad irony is that all state hospitals are funded by our federal government. The recalcitrance to reason by our Premier is bad enough. But the constant self-interested gloating is both sad and embarrassing. Actually it’s shameful. Here would be a real sign of leadership - instead of gloating about winning a AFL grand final in Brisbane by default for a sport very few Queenslanders follow yet alone care about - offer all of those tickets and free flights to country Victorians who are outside of the Covid hotspots who live and love and breath AFL. How about open the borders to kids and parents who live in NSW yet school them in Queensland but pose zero risk to the spread of Covid. How about offer all of the free beds that are currently in our hospitals set aside for a Covid spike that was never going to happen - to people who need our help, who are outside Covid hotspots but are just unfortunate to live south of our border. Covid has redefined the world we live in. Let’s just hope that the silver living is that we will also redefine the Governments we elect to govern us and those imaginary lines drawn 150 years ago. We are in this together - as one country, as one people. Let’s never allow lines in the sand to define us again. In the great words of Sir Henry Parkes: In one hand I have a dream, and in the other I have an obstacle. Tell me, which one grabs your attention?

14.01.2022 It’s official: jobs in small businesses have been the hardest hit this year. New data from the ABS shows that the greatest job losses between March and August ...2020, in percentage terms, have been in smaller businesses, while bigger companies have been mostly doing OK. One of the reasons is they are not as exposed to downturns in the general consumer economy - larger businesses tend to have bigger cash reserves, and customers with bigger accounts - many are often bigger businesses themselves. Bigger companies are also are in a better negotiating position with their banks and landlords. Government support can help, but there are simply too many small businesses for them all to get through. That’s where we can come in as a community of Australians. If enough of us #golocalfirst and spend a bit more with small businesses, we can make a genuine difference because there is strength in numbers. If we support them now, it’s more likely the small businesses in our communities can make it through.

14.01.2022 Paddy started his new job today. His boss handed him a fiver and said, "First things first, I need you to go down to the shops and buy me a glass hammer, a skir...ting board ladder and a bubble for a spirit level." Paddy laughed and said, "Do you really think I'm that stupid?" "What do you mean Paddy?" His boss sniggered. Paddy said, "That lot is going to cost more than a bloody fiver."

07.01.2022 I don’t know who wrote this but SOMEONE FINALLY put into words what I’ve been thinking and I couldn't agree more! I’M SICK OF covid-19. I’M SICK OF black vs. w...hite. I’M SICK OF labour vs liberal I’M SICK OF gay vs. straight. I’M REALLY SICK OF the media. I’M SICK OF the language being used and plastered all over the media... I’M SICK OF no-one being allowed to think what they want & feel what they do without offending someone. I AM SICK OF the people who are out there jumping on the bandwagon to protest just to cause mass confusion and more hatred and to riot, loot, and destroy... I AM SICK OF blaming the world for the sins of a few. I LIKE MEAT, again your choice not to eat meat, my choice to eat meat. End of story. I’M SICK OF people who think that 60yr old history is our fault... it’s history... get over it!! WE’RE ONE RACE - THE HUMAN RACE. WE ALL MATTER!! You want to support Scott Morrison, You do it! It’s your choice. You want to support Dan? Fine... also your choice! You want to believe in God? Ok, believe in God. You want to believe in magical creatures that fly around & sprinkle fairy dust to make life better? Awesome... you do it!! BUT how about being mature enough to be able to deal with the fact that everyone doesn’t have the same exact mind-set as you. Having our own minds is what makes us all individuals and beautiful. If you can’t handle that fact....I’m sorry!! I don’t have to agree with everything you believe in, however you will still be my friend. SO BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING. Love one another, be kind, be humble, be thankful, help a stranger and do a good deed, daily! Share if you agree.... See more

03.01.2022 In Memory Of Private Paul Large, 12 Platoon, D Company, 6 RAR, of Coolah, NSW. The photograph taken on the 25th of June 1966, is of Private Large taking a long ...refreshing drink from a water bottle as he pauses during digging in on Operation Enoggera. It was the first mission by the 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR), against the Viet Cong. Private Large was later killed in action on the 18th of August 1966, at Long Tan. Private Large was born on the 6th of June 1945, in Wellington, NSW. He was conscripted into the army when his number came up in the National Service Scheme birthday ballot in 1965. Private Large is buried in his hometown of Coolah, NSW. He was 21 years old. The Battle of Long Tan was the most costly single engagement for Australians in the Vietnam War. 18 Australians lost their lives, including Private Large. Lest We Forget. Information and photograph came from the Australian War Memorial. Image file number AWM CUN/66/0509/VN.

01.01.2022 Great to see these new shade sails at the Warren Skate Park. Warren Shire Council were successful in receiving funding from the Community Building Partnership P...rogram in 2019 which helped pay for theses shade sails. The skate park is sure to become a hive of activity as the weather warms up. See more
