Rann the Yo Yo, and U turn Man.

Views, Interpretation of Joe Rossi about Rann Now:-

Rann Leader of National Labor Party.

Leader of South Australia.

Media extraordinaire.

Needs Liberal Politicians to advise him to run the State.

30 Years in Australia and he can not draft a law to protect young children under 10 years of age.

30 Years in Australia and he can not find a friend in Federal Politics to draft a law to protect young children under 10 years of age.

I question his ability to do any thing physically and mentally constructive.

Easy at talking from scripts. Incapable at thinking, and implementing long term ideals.

All the advice he gave to Don Dunstan and policies Don Dunstan implemented.

Industrial Democracy, Work Cover, SGIC,  Water for Adelaide.

Where are they now? Bottom of the harbor.

Railway to Darwin not Rann's  implementation. Liberals did it.

SA. Public Servant Security. Now does not exist..

Hospital upgrades occurs because of Federal Government Funding.

Submarine Building occurs because of Federal Government Funding.

Metropolitan Road upgrades. Use chewing gum (bitumen only) to fill cracks in road.

Hospital cleanliness. Unfair time constraints put in for cleaners therefore Water is sprinkled in a sign of the cross action. This allows Golden Staff and super bugs to grow.

Flinders Medical centre rooms are like rabbit warrens in size and passage including low ceilings.

Education school grounds. Sell and make children obese by lack of  room to exercise. No future thinking as population increases need more school buildings.

New town houses called condensed  housing are also the size of battery hen cages another term is dog boxes This is un-Australian . Again giving lack of open space for children to exercise.

Synchronizing of traffic lights. Green light when no cars present. Red light when traffic is on coming.

With 6 lawyers in the Labor lower house of Parliament and the Rann Government cannot draft enforceable laws at the first attempt.

My 4 Grand children under 6 do a better job at logic than Mr. Premier Rann.

 

Views, Interpretation of Joe Rossi about Rann Beliefs, when he first came to Australia.

 

(1.) Beliefs - Mike Rann in the Don Dunstan years believed that the park lands should be left as they were designed. Park Lands.

(a) The E&WS Work shops Kent Town, were removed and returned to Park Land.

(b) The E&WS Work shops Thebarton, have been ear marked to be and returned to Park Land.

(c) The Victoria Park Race course was intended to be removed and returned to Park Land.

(2.) Beliefs - Mike Rann in the Don Dunstan years believed that the Upper House of SA parliament should be abolished.

(a) That Australia should become a republic (Get ride of Governors and Governor generals)

 

Joe Rossi's beliefs

       

(a) Get rid of the South Australian Governor’s house and relocate
residence at Carrick Hill.

(b) Get rid of the University Army Parade and relocate it at Keswick.

(c) The Adelaide Lending Library could be relocated at Victoria

square Corner Flinders Street.

(d) The Museum  could be relocated at the present Police
Administration corner Gawler Place and Flinders St. or Victoria Square corner Wakefield Street .

(e) Governors land and the Army parade would be

Identical in land space to the present Royal Adelaide

Hospital.  It would be equal distance from the Adelaide

 University Medical Teaching Specialists.  The Building facade

of the front of the Royal Adelaide Hospital, the Adelaide

Library and the Museum would be retained as office space.

(d) The Historic Army Buildings at Keswick would be more

                 architecturally significant than that of the Governors residence

                 and University Army parade.

(e)   The emergency transport corridors would be more accessible

                  than the proposed Marj Hospital.

(f)    There would be no more encroaching of park lands.

(g)   There would be no increase in parking problems.

 

All problems solved. All similarities met. Distance from Adelaide city centre not changed.

Costs would be reduced just on contamination soil removal alone.

 

Let us get rid of tunnel visionaries.

Lets us get rid of personal grandioso. Like Rann.

Lets us get Liberal to change the Mega Football oval to the old Kilburn rail yards where there will be more parking spaces for spectators.

 

There has been several allegedly false police arrests and court proceeding irregularities for which the SA State Government has allegedly covered up or allegedly attempted to
cover up while the Present State Attorney General has been Minister.

Questions need to be continually asked about a Social Worker charged with child sex offences that were later proved incorrect.

Questions need to be continually asked about a murder case Kio where evidence was inconclusive and alleged manufactured conclusions.

Questions need to be asked about the police incorrectly arresting and punching a man on a traffic warrant with a mistaken identity

There has been at least 2 children under 8 years of age that have been killed by their violent parent for which the SA Government says they did not have enough personnel to investigate and interrogate the parents well before the killing took place.Where is the Anger Management Courses and the therapy for those who break up

 

In the mean time Good News Premier Rann wants to

cut 1600 public sector jobs by 2011 (page 10 advertiser 25/05/2009).

Remember police do not respond quickly to emergencies because of over work and lack of man power.

Social workers do not respond to Family Law Courts for Child abuse cases and the like because of over work and lack of man power..

The Criminal Law Courts are years behind in hearing cases because of over work and lack of man power.

The State Police Minister takes some 5 months to respond to letters from constituents because of over work and lack of man power...

The Mental Health services is near non-existent as Mental Patients are left to their own devices in community housing

because of over work and lack of man power...

Medical Doctor treatments are now some 7 days to have an appointment. (No longer 1 day waiting)

Medical treatment in a Public Hospital Emergency Department is quite often a 10 hour wait where before it was under 4 hours.

Medical selective surgery treatment in a Public Hospital is at least a 5 months wait because of over work and lack of man power..

Where before it was awaiting period under 4 weeks.

 

So why the cut in public sector personnel Mr. Mike Rann.

Domestic Violence will not be curbed while

 (a)      Police are under staffed.

 (b)      While State Court Judges only give fines (penalty) of just a cost of a box of beer.

 (c)      While there is no compulsory victim Impact statements.

 (d)      While States and Federal Judges do not exchange information about the perpetrators.

 (e)      While Judges give more penalty for verbal abuse than Physical abuse.

 (f)      While Judges do not punish promptly and severely for the lies put forward to
    them by the perpetrators or their lawyers.

 (g)      While the Judges use the court revolving doors for offenders instead of the jail
    revolving doors.

 (h)      While Politicians under fund school social workers, Domestic Violence

            shelters, Children Access Centres,

 

Mr. Michael Atkinson did write to me threatening to sue me for defamation on matters that I did not know any thing about. When I replied go to ....... I did not hear more about the matter.  I was innocent of the allogation he presented.

 

Very touchy, touchy Mr. SA Attorney General 2009.

He supposedly does this to any one he considers athreat Should I take this as a compliment?

 

 

Mr. Michael Atkinson the current South Australian Attorney General.

Is Mr. Michael Atkinson a racist?  (A) Politically Correct no

Morally correct I allege he is a racist based on his behaviour towards new immigrants.

Racists can take many forms blatant offensive or subdued offensive.

 

One can call a person day go in a joking fashion and I consider it joking, friendly, gesture in the atmosphere that it is given.

In Mr. Atkinson case I shall state an incident which is very deliberate in action if not intentional proven.

One would assume that a person in no matter what profession would be given polite , courtesy and manners not to harass, intimidate, interject in what the practice is maiden speech, acts, ceremonies. Very much like running on a football field and before the game starts or when it finishes the players give each other a handshake, best team win. Then the fight is on for real.

 

In Atkinson case I was first time elected to Parliament 1993.

I was to give my maiden speech.

I expected quiet and courtesy. Yet Atkinson decided to interject and correct my grammar, pronunciations. Knowing full well that I was first generation Italian,  novel in the profession and rather timid.

 

In politics one should expect criticism of views, but not indiscriminate interjections. Mr. Atkinson seems to do his best to antagonize any one who he feels weak. I call his actions as bullying and offensive. I believe he is offensive and racist to persons of different nationality than himself.

 

Mr. Kevin Foley the current South Australian Secretive Treasurer.

Is Mr. Kevin Foley secretive, and a bully.? Politically Correct no

Morally correct I allege he is a bully because of his behaviour towards me during the debate in Parliament about the funding of sport from the profits of Poker machines.

Michael David Rann CNZM (born 5 January 1953), Australian politician, is the 44th Premier of South Australia, serving since the 2002 election. He has been the parliamentary leader of the South Australian division of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) since 1994, and a South Australian MP since the 1985 election. He is also the current President of the ALP National Executive.[1]

Rann attended his brother's wedding in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1977, and shortly afterwards moved there to accept a position with Premier Don Dunstan's Unit for Industrial Democracy. Since Mike Rann came to Adelaide all the Labor Premiers under the advice of Mike Rann ended up on the scrap heap losing elections and leaving the state under financial ruin.

He worked for Dunstan as his press secretary, speech writer and adviser, and went on to serve Labor premiers Des Corcoran and John Bannon in the same capacities after Dunstan's retirement from politics.

Early life

Rann was born in Sidcup, Kent, United Kingdom, to working-class parents. Most of his childhood was spent with his father, an electrician in south London. During his father's tenure in the second world war at El Alamein, his mother was employed in an armaments factory. Rann's family emigrated from Blackfen to a rural village in New Zealand in 1962.

After university, Rann was a political journalist for the now defunct New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation. It was reported that he struggled with being an objective reporter.

One commentator reports that Rann was "frankly inspired by Dunstan's idealism" as opposed to "Bannon's cool electoral pragmatism". Rann sometimes talked during this period of his ambitions to one day become Premier. Rann wrote speeches on and assisted in policy development for civil liberties, land, gay and women's rights, and opposition to uranium mining, revealing a vein of idealism, his early predilection was left of centre.[2]

[Edit] Parliament

When Briggs was abolished in an electoral redistribution, Rann was elected to the new seat of Ramsay at the 1993 election. At the election, Labor lost government in a landslide due to the State Bank. Rann was promoted to deputy leader of his party following the defeat; however Arnold resigned as leader in September 1994. Rann became leader with the support of Labor Right powerbroker Don Farrell,

Former Prime Minister of Australia Gough Whitlam with wife Margaret at the wedding of Mike Rann and Sasha Carruozzo in July 2006.

Rann remained Leader of the Opposition until the 2002 election, at which he won enough seats to form a government and become Premier on 6 March 2002 with the support of an independent MP, Peter Lewis. Lewis' decision was controversial, but Rann later secured the support of conservative independent Rory McEwen and the Nationals' Karlene Maywald by adding them to his cabinet, and Bob Such as speaker.

In addition to Premier, Rann is also the current Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, and Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change.

Rann was appointed chairman of a new Australian Federation Council in July 2006, a council which aims to improve state-federal ties. Rann also ran for national presidency in the National Executive in August 2006, and made senior-vice presidency on 27% of the vote. He began a rotation as National President on 1 March 2008.

Again it's about us not only making a difference locally, but being a kind of model for others, which is what Dunstan used to say he wanted us to be ... a laboratory and a leader for the future." Rann says he expects other reforms to be based upon those enacted under his government, citing the state's strategic plan, a 10-year framework for development for government and business, of which the New South Wales government will be adopting. "It's a plan for the state, not just promises at each election. A lot of colleagues interstate thought I'd gone mad when we named targets. Well we didn't want to set targets we could easily pass and then pat ourselves on the back for, what's the point of that?"[5]

.[7][8] Third quarter 2008 polling saw a continued drop in the primary vote, down three to 38 percent, with the Liberal vote up five to 40 percent, breaking 50-50 after preferences - the Preferred Premier figure recorded a six-point drop to 48 percent for Rann and up three to 30 percent for Hamilton-Smith. Some commentators put the poll slump down to "labor movement ructions" over the underfunded Work Cover liability, consolidation of rural health services, and the continued degradation of the River Murray.[9][10] This has since pulled back to 54 to 46 on two-party preferred terms with an increased margin in the Preferred Premier rating. Polling taken from The Sunday Mail during the 50-50 polling suggests that whilst there have been large swings away from the government in country areas, polling is holding relatively firm at 2006 election levels in the metropolitan areas.[11]

Rann was married to Jenny Russell until the late 1990s and had two children with her, David and Eleanor. On 15 July 2006, he married his second wife, actress and Greens member Sasha Carruozzo.[2

  =================================== 

1 (1.)     Mike Rann in Australian believed in:

(a)   Legalizing Homosexuality
(b)   Industrial Democracy.
(c)  
Selling of state assets like the railways.
(d)  
No children school testing of subject assessment.
(e)  
Politicizing Public Servants.
(f)   
Destroying Criminal records of the Police department.
(g)   Opposition to Uranium Mining.
(h)   Big large Public Service.

 

1 (2.) Since coming into government, Mike Rann has:

(a)    Slashed Public Service positions.
(b)   
Made back flip on Uranium Mining.
(c)   
 Made back flip on Public Hospital Services. (now non existent)
(d)   
Made back flip on Public Transport. (Now over crowding,
         poor time keeping, poor road routes.)

(e)    
Made back flip on individual freedom. Law banning Bike gangs.

What is a bike gang?

                           i.   All Men in leather jackets. ( I say false)
                        ii.     
All Men who ride motor bikes. ( I say false)
                        iii.     
All Men with tattoos. (I say false)
                       iv.     
All Returned Vietnam War service men. (I say false)

                             v.      All Men who terrorize children, women and the elderly in the community. (I say may be and would include over zealous policemen, and politicians like Michael Atkinson who bullies local government councillors. Michael Atkinson who introduces draconian one legislation fits all Bikie Laws. I would include Mr. Kevin Foley Treasurer who does not divulge government figures and is not  transparent to Opposition question time )

                          vi.      I personally was once fearful of men in leather jackets, riding motor bikes, who had tattoos. Until a car mechanic of mine asked me to drive him to a house who I knew belonged to the bike gang.

                                    This mechanic was definitely not violent, domineering, had no criminal records, did not have a motor bike, did not have tattoos.

 

1 (3.) The House of the Bikie Gang.

(a)        I asked the neighbours about the Bikie gang House.

(b)       They reported that the occupants helped with the gardening of
       elderly persons.

(c)       They helped with the shopping of the elderly persons.

(d)       Some 6 times a year the occupants played loud music till

           about 4 in the morning. The Police were scared of entering

           the front gate

           at this time of the night. I with a little hesitation did  enter the front
         gate of the bikie gang house at 4 in the morning.

             I did mention to them about the loud music etcetera.
       
The occupants did oblige in reducing the noise.

(e)         During the occupation of the Bikie gang of the house in the
         suburb there were no car steeling. No house invasions in the area.

            When they moved crime increased.(Why? because they were not
         bad persons.

(f)         Finks, commancheroes and Hells Angels call in bikie reinforcements

1 (4.)    Don Dunstan Premier South Australia said

                          i.      Every one can do what they like in their own home provided it does not effect any one else.

                         ii.      Reality it provided there is no one else in the home because they will be effected and when they go

                                     out of the home (house) their experience will effect their behaviour outside that home.

    For ever action there is a reaction. (Fact of life). Even,
     turning off power, to a light globe.

 

                     Mike Rann talks a lot about Hoon car drivers.

(a)         He forgets what hoon drivers do. Hoon drivers waste a lot of
         petrol  to create smoke screen from rubbing car tyros.

            They do wheelies and some times run off the road and crash against
         poles or stand by pedestrians.

(b)          I liken this to Mike Rann running the government. He creates
         smoke screen of what he is doing. Yet he spends money with the

            media and spin doctor the electorate. Mike Rann spins tails about
         how he is improving the Hospitals education and tackles crime.

             Yet he has a reduced police force that can not handle crime.
       
Has low standard teaches that can not handle student discipline.

             Has Hospitals under staffed that can not cope with the work
         load. Has dilapidated hospital operating theatres. Long waiting

            list in all public hospitals.

(c)        Mike Rann and his idol Don Dunstan introduced X lotto to help fund
         the hospital. Introduced the pokies to help sports for children.

            Yet x lotto money is not noticeable for hospitals. Pokier money
         is not noticeable for sports as the Rann run local Government

            and the delegated Minister sell and burn local open space that
        can be used for sport is converted for high density housing.

 

1 (5.)     Under Mike Rann influence, Government direction went to:

(a)    Legalizing Homosexuality.

(b)    No Industrial Democracy.

(c)    Slash and burn State assets.

(d)     Laws reducing elector’s freedom of speech and association.

(e)     Privatization government services.

(f)      Confidentiality in State Finances.

(g)     Government interference and independence of Public Servants.

(h)      Protection and confidentiality of criminals and their  History.

(i)       Lack of independence of the upper Legislative house.

(j)       Reduction in university places for medical

          Doctors, dentists, engineers.

(k)       Lose of forward planning for public transport.

(l)        Less Parliament sitting days.

(m)      No indexing of taxes to cost of living and land value index.

1 (6.)   Mike Rann lacks intelligence.

(a)       Mike Rann has been involved in politics in Australia alone for 32
         years from 1977 to 2009 in that time he still has

             to rely on Liberal MP Support and advice.

(b)       He has some 12 qualified solicitors as fellow Mop’s yet Mike Rann
         with them can not get Dept Transport laws fixed up.

(c)       He still needs Philip Bentley and Partner Margaret Wagstaff,
        Mary Patetsos, Carolyn Pickles and former husband Nick Bolkus,

            to help him.

(d)       It was reported that he struggled with being an objective reporter in
         New Zealand at the age of 24, and he seems to struggle

            still to be an objective forward thinking leader at the age of 57.
       
He has learnt little in 33 years of politics.

 

1 (7.)   Non Labor MP’s.

(a)  Maywald, (b)   McEwen,

1 (8.)  Poor School performers.

(a)  Foley, (b)  Ciccarello, (c)  Geraghty, (d)  Rankin, (e)  Simmons,
(f)  Kenyon, (g)  Key, (h)  Portolesi

 

1 (9.)  Fair Adult Social performers.

(a)  White, (b)  Koutsantonis, (c)  Stevens, (d)  Lomax – Smith,

(e)   Piccolo, (should be Treasurer,)

1 (10.)  Mike Rann talks a lot about Hoon car drivers.

1 (11.)  Mike Rann talks a lot about Hoon car drivers. Performers?

(a)  He forgets what hoon drivers do. Hoon drivers waste a lot of petrol to
 create smoke screen from rubbing car tyros.

     They do wheelies and some times run off the road and crash against poles or stand by pedestrians.

(b)  I liken this to Mike Rann running the government. He creates smoke screen of what he is doing. Yet he spends money with the

      media and spin doctor the electorate. Mike Rann spins tails about how he is improving the Hospitals education and tackles crime.

     Yet he has a reduced police force that can not handle crime. Has low standard teaches that can not handle student discipline.

     Has Hospitals under staffed that can not cope with the work load. Has dilapidated hospital operating theatres. Long waiting  list in all public hospitals.

(c)  Mike Rann and his idol Don Dunstan introduced X lotto to help fund the hospital. Introduced the pokies to help sports for children.

    Yet x lotto money is not noticeable for hospitals. Pokier money is not noticeable for sports as the Rann run local Government

    and the delegated Minister sell and burn local open space that can be used for sport is converted for high density housing.

 

1 (12.)  So-called "Qualified" Lawyers,

(a)  Atkinson, (b)  Bignal, (c)  Conlon, (d)  Hill, (e)  Rau, (f)  Weatherill,

 

1 (13.)  Deterioration of the Public Service under Don Dunstan and Mike Rann.

(a)  Don Dunstan sacked Police Commissioner Harold Salisbury to protect the Family.

(b)  Don Dunstan could not handle State Governor Sir Mark Oliphant so he picked the next Governor with less education.

(c)  Premier Bannon picked State Bank Manager Mr. whose qualifications were not high so that he would not understand

    what was going on and therefore would not ask questions.

(d)  Now Mike Rann has picked Mr. Kevin Foley who again is not so qualified and will do what he is told and not ask questions.

     There are more qualified persons in the Labor ranks who could do a much better job than Kevin Foley.

 

1 (14.)  Can Good News Mike Rann:

(Q)     Run the State?               (A) No he can’t.

(Q)     Fix crime?                      (A) No he can’t.

(Q)     Balance State finances(A) No he can’t.

(Q)     Fix Lake Alexandrina?     (A) No he can’t.

 

1 (15.)  Who really runs the SA Labor Government?

            I allege it is Mr. Michael Atkinson  the SA State Attorney General

1 (16.)  While I was in Parliament 1993 to 1997 I assessed that he was allegedly equivalent  to the German SS Commander.

                            i.      Michael Atkinson has the intelligence.

                            ii.      He has the Knowledge

                            iii.      He has the dirt on fellow Mp’s

                            iv.      He has been known to  have interfered with the Charles Sturt
             Council elections.

                             v.      He has been known to have intimidated members of the electorate.

                             vi.      He has not pasted any law protecting individuals of the state.

                             vii.      He has introduced laws that prohibit freedom of citizens in
                South Australia
.

                              vii.      He has introduced laws that prohibit freedom

       Of association in South Australia.   (Bikie Gang Law)

                               viii.      Interfered directly with the judiciary

        ( Keo Case)

 

Political proverbs,

(a)             Pay politicians peanuts and you get monkeys.

                                   i.      I say we have given politicians milk and honey.
                                           
From milk one gets butter and cheese.

                                   ii.      Give them cheeses and one gets mice.

                                  iii.      The Liberal opposition was quite as mice during 1974 to 1993.

                                  iv.      The Liberal opposition has been quite as mice during
                    1997 to 2008.

 

2 (1.) The difference between statesmen and wimps.

(a)  The Federal politicians that I considered statesmen were

                                    I. Sir Robert Menzies.

                                    II.  Lionel Murphy.

                                   III. Clyde Cameron.

                    

(b)   The State politicians that I considered statesmen were

                                         i.      Stan Evans,

                                         ii.      Ted Chapman,

                                         iii.      Bernice Pfitzner,

                                         iv.      Heine Becker

                                         vi.    Dean Brown.

                                                     

THE Public Hospitals .

I had to get tablets at the Flinders Hospital some 4 years ago. On the way to the pharmacy I began to have claustrophobia. I had never been to that hospital before.

 

I had been to the Royal Adelaide, the Modbury and the St Andrews.

I again went to the Flinders several times during Months July to October 2008 to see a friend dying from Kidney failure.

 

From the emergency ward to the patient ward I again felt claustrophobic and had to leave the ward during a 30 minute visit to get to a passage that had air blowing vents to get relief.

 

Having said this experience I am not confident in the Labor Party Government cabinet in making the right design, the right location and the right furnishing of there so called new Marjory Jackson Hospital.

 

In the old days of the 1950’s and 1970’s the architects and government considered the practicality of things. They did not consider saving money as a factor in building government hospitals, offices and roads.

Had minimum size widows, bedrooms, garden space, room heights, and etcetera.

 

Now they consider what makes the most cheaply minimal functional design and service.

 

Match box living apartments, hospital rooms, operating theatres and ventilation.

There is now days no consideration to ventilation when the air conditioner may break down, and no consideration to natural light for patents and workers.

 

Some members of the community think that to improve the life style and cleanliness of premises one has to move to new location preferably a new house then all will be better.

In my opinion it is what is in the heart and mind of an individual that makes a house or premises feel welcome and clean.

Buildings are only brick and mortar. Humans within the building make it functional.

 

Mike Rann and his government in my opinion believe in trash and burn the old and up with the new. (Make themselves feel good with a fuzzy feeling.)
