A Government Scandal

Still Remembered
The Government, that is, the Victorian State Government, made us pull down all our beautiful Cast Iron Verandas. All Melbourne's old shopping streets had these magnificent slreet-scapes, so perfect for our native climate. The excuse used was that the posts were right on the edge of the curb. Yet, and here is the scandal, the Government has never moved its poles, its ghastly power poles, with their ugly, ugley forest of black, evil-looking wires.

In Praise of Wealth

Why bother writing this? Those who appreciate wealth, and know how to look after it, do not need to read anything. Those who don't have any, don't know how to aquire it, and especially don't know how to keep it, only want to take it away from those who have it. (They like to take advantage of it in the meantime, for example renting private accommodation while disparaging landlords.)

Anger and Distress

My anger at injustice is repressed. Like everyone I suffer shame and pain, But unlike many, I do not complain; I'm grateful that with life and health I'm blessed. Within my silence, I can hear the rest Who whinge and moan, then whinge and moan again, Complaining, in a way that is insane When life does not deliver what is best.

Equality does not mean "all the same"; If you fail, don't blame those who have success. Unlike a pack of cards, life's not a game, So, dealing more to one does not leave less: If universal welfare is our aim, To make all people poor, won't end distress.

Norman F - Pollack October, 1998

SOME PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN


Looking West, early afternoon. Not much to see, today.	Looking East. Note: a dramatic sky, suitible for a Biblical Epic.
