Government Red Tape Described to a T

Caught up in Government red tape - the all too familiar story

It’s lucky Aussies can laugh at themselves ‘cos I’m an Aussie and this just tickled me. I received it as an email, but I don’t know who actually put the article and got a copy of the letter together. Whoever it was – Thank You. We all need great belly laughs now and then.

If ever you’ve been caught up in Government red tape or bureaucracy – no matter where you happen to live, you will definitely relate to this.  And if you’re caught up in the rigmarole now, you will still be able to smile after reading this which has been reproduced in it’s entirety here for your enjoyment.

Australian Letter of the Year

This is an actual letter sent to the then DFAT (Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade) Minister, the Hon Alexander Downer and the then Immigration, The Hon Minister Amanda Vanstone. The Government tried in desperation to censure the author, but got nowhere because every legal person who read it nearly wet themselves laughing!

Please excuse the language contained within, but I suspect the author was somewhat upset? I’ll let you decide!

Another happy customer of the Federal Government.

A fabulous characteristic of Australians is that we are far more direct and outspoken than others when dealing with the sort of elected w****** who wouldn’t otherwise get the full drift of what they were trying to communicate.

Below is one such wonderful communication…

 

Dear Mr. Minister,

I’m in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this.

How is it that K-Mart has my address and telephone number, and knows that I bought a Television Set and Golf Clubs from them back in 1997, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date.

For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand?

My birth date you have in my Medicare information, and it is on all the income tax forms I’ve filed for the past 40 years. It is on my driver’s license, on the last eight passports I’ve ever had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I’ve had to fill out before being allowed off the planes over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that I’ve filled out every 5 year since 1966.

Also… would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother’s name is Audrey, my Father’s name is Jack, and I’d be absolutely f****** astounded if that ever changed between now and when I drop dead!!!…

S***

I apologize, Mr. Minister. But I’m really pissed off this morning. Betweeen you an’ me, I’ve had enough of all this bullshit! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my f****** address!! What the hell is going on with your mob? Have you got a gang of mindless Neanderthal arseholes workin’ there!

And another thing, look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I can’t even grow a beard for God’s sakes. I just want to go to New Zealand and see my new granddaughter. (Yes, my son interbred with a Kiwi girl). And would someone please tell me, why would you give a shit whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a sheep or a horse, believe you me, I’d sure as hell not want to tell anyone!

Well, I have to go now, ’cause I have to go to the other end of the city, and get another f****** copy of my birth certificate, and to part with another $80 for the privilege of accessing MY OWN INFORMATION!

Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot, to assist in the issuance of a new passport on the same day?? Nooooo… that’d be too f***** easy and makes far too much sense. You would much prefer to have us running all over the place like chickens with our f****** heads cut off, and then having to find some high society w***** to confirm that it’s really me in the goddam photo! You know the photo…the one where we’re not allowed to smile?!…you f****** morons.

Signed – An Irate Australian Citizen.

P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture, and getting someone in high-society to confirm that it’s me? Well, my family has been in this country since before 1850!

In 1856, one of my forefathers took up arms with Peter Lalor. (You do remember the Eureka Stockade!!)

I have also served in both the CMF and regular Army something over 30 years (I went to Vietnam in 1967), and still have high security clearances.

I’m also a personal friend of the president of the RSL…and Lt General Peter Cosgrove sends me a Christmas card each year.

However, your rules require that I have to get someone ‘important’ to verify who am; You know… someone like my doctor; WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PAKISTANN!……a country where they either assassinate or hang their ex-Prime Ministers, and are suspended from the Commonwealth for not having the ‘right sort of government.’

You are all f****** idiots.

A Layman’s View on Fixing the Economic Woes and I Like It…

Fixing the Economy

A really interesting snippet was posted in the West Australian Newspaper on Monday – a really unique take on how to fix the economic woes of the UK – but the concept could be equally applied in most countries around the world. I wonder who’s game to give it a go?

This piece was originally an email doing the rounds, that found its way to the newspaper, and then today I received another similar email but with an Aussie slant – there must be some truth in what is being suggested. You decide.

The email was addressed tot he British Chancellor of the Exchequer (Treasurer)

Dear Mr Darling (how appropriate!)

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan. There are about 20 million p;eople over 50 in the workforce. Pay them £1 million  apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1 They must retire. Twenty million job openings – unemployment fixed

2 They must buy a new British car. Twenty million cars ordered – auto industry fixed.

3 They must either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – housing crisis fixed.

4 They must send their kids to school/college/university – crime rate fixed.

5 They must buy £50 of alcohol/tobacco a week: there’s your money back in duty and taxes. It can’t get any easier than that!

Who’s game to start a group on Facebook to apply pressure by sheer numbers to get the worlds governments to embrace such a bold but seeingly obvious plan?! Surely we can’t do any worse than we are doing at the moment.

Over to you.

Sharing and Caring…

I am a partner on the www.crememagnolia.net site and found this wonderful article, written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. I just had to share it with you as no matter what our age or status, it applies equally as well.

“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.  It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written.”

1.       Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2.       When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3.       Life is too short to waste time hating anyone…

4.       Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick.  Your friends and parents will.  Stay in touch.

5.       Pay off your credit cards every month.

6.       You don’t have to win every argument.  Agree to disagree.

7.       Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8.       It’s OK to get angry with God.  He can take it.

9.       Save for retirement starting with your first pay cheque.

10.     When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11.     Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12.     It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13.     Don’t compare your life to others.  You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14.     If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15.     Everything can change in the blink of an eye.  But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16.     Take a deep breath.  It calms the mind.

17.     Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

18.     Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

19.     It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.  But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20.     When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21.     Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.  Don’t save it for a special occasion,  Today is special. 

22.     Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23.     Be eccentric now.  Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24.     The most important sex organ is the brain.

25.     No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26.     Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’

27.     Always choose life.

28.     Forgive everyone everything.

29.     What other people think of you is none of your business.

30.     Time heals almost everything.  Give time.

31.     However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32.     Don’t take yourself so seriously.  No one else does.

33.     Believe in miracles.

34.     God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35.     Don’t audit life.  Show up and make the most of it now.

36.     Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.

37.     Your children get only one childhood.

38.     All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39.     Get outside every day.  Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40.     If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41.     Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42.     The best is yet to come.

43.     No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44.     Yield.

45.     Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.”

caring is sharing

Matchmaking made in heaven?

Love is in the Air

No, you don’t get to meet your maker. But… you could meet your match.

How? Air New Zealand have his brilliant opportunity for you to combine two great pleasures of travel and meeting new people with their first Matchmaking Flight from Los Angeles to Auckland on October 13, 2009.

They say, “This is your chance to be part of history, linking the great North American culture with the natural vibes of pure New Zealand. Fasten your seatbelt, enjoy the ride of parties and holiday activities as you take off to the other side of the world on your Amazing Journey to find The One.”

Apart from the excitement of travelling and possibly meeting someone ON the plane flight, Air New Zealand is also hosting a pre-flight gate party, themed food, drink and games to encourage folks to mix and mingle on the flight, and then there’s a Matchmaking Ball for the Singles at the Skycity Convention Centre in Auckland.

Are you salivating at the thought of this life changing trip? Thought so.

Visit The Matchmaking Flight where you can book your flight, choose from a number of romance package tours and even choose from those whom you’d most like to meet. By that I mean for example a Kiwi boyfriend, a Canadian girlfriend, a California Beach boy – the possibilities are intriguing!

What are you waiting for…
