As far back as I remember, poor sailboat service has been a cry for decades. poor government oversight while giving handouts to boat owners is part of the problem. it really gets me that every time you br8ng up a deficiency in a government funded or provided service, the answer is we are looking into it. all those government workers and they never seem to be aware of anything until a citizen cries out. meanwhile, the high taxes for no service continue.
Agree with moncurcool. why is it only parliamentarians can serve until knocking on death's door but for everyone else, there is mandatory retirement? be8ng one of the highest cost of living places in the world, if anywhere you need to keep working, it's here.
i" m surprised at the gov't statement as these excessive benefits are always approved by them to avoid industrial action. gov't always at the table with a gun to their head. Leslie Miller drew attention to this year's ago. don't believe BPL is the only place thus is happening... guarantee you it's ar all the other SOEs too. now you know one of the reasons we are paying almost $0.50 per kilowatt hr for light that can't stay on.
this is what state ownership gets you. obscene contracts, egregiously high light bills and of course socialist work practices, no merit based earn your way, rather group extortion and it's legal.
except for Ministers, the rest all have other jobs. they do their MP work on the side. meet one day a week, months off when they have breaks, what job is like that?
These left wing fanatics are also hard core deniers of history. it is what it us. only a simpleton would see Columbus or anyone else from history as a present day threat. sounds like a lot of insecurity.
Every year as far back as i can remember, its been the same tired excuse, high demand.. why was this not being planned for 20 yrs ago for example when they were saying the same thing? our. govt tells us cooperate with the census takers because we use that data to plan. but reality sadly is there is no planning and never has been by either govt. they know we need more power when they can't meet demand. this is one example of why 3rd world countries remain 3rd world, no planning.
