Falsely accused
When an individual falsely accused of misconduct in the workplace by a recalcitrant management intent on reprisal, there is an incredible stress on them. False accusations in the workplace are typically raised by individuals who are attempting to cover up their own misconduct, so there needs to be a fair and equitable process to address…
The death penalty in Australia
I am not a proponent of the death penalty, it was officially abolished in Australia in 1985, that was way too late, but at least we moved on it. I don’t believe the state should kill prisoners, I am not soft on the judicial system, I believe in life imprisonment for certain offences, if you…
Hanging around Albert Centre Market and Food Centre
For some, a week in Singapore can be a long time, it is a great city/state with so much to offer. It can be argued Singapore is a gateway to more exotic South East Asian locations. That is what I used to think before, but now I have changed my mind. Coming from Perth, Singapore…
A couple of days in Luxembourg City
The old city centre in Luxembourg is well worth seeing, it’s a bit of a hike down to the river but well worth the walk. We entered from the Limpertsburg district, which really wasn’t much of a walk from our hotel. We enjoyed the walk, it was great looking around the city before entering the…
How could they bugger this up so badly?
How could these idiots bugger this up so badly, this is one of the reasons I am against the death penalty. This form of punishment is inherently cruel and inhumane, it is not the job of the state to kill people. This is what we tend to see from less evolved societies where they have…
Where the Southern Ocean and Indian Ocean meets
Its not really the end of the world, Cape Leeuwin is a lighthouse on the point where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean, also the most south westerly tip of Australia, it does feel like the end of the world overlooking the two oceans. The section of ocean is very treacherous, the sheer number…
The M1A1 Abrams tank for Ukraine
Out-gunned, out-manned, and out-resourced, the Ukrainian military has plenty of constraints they need to contend with. The battleground of Ukraine is a brilliant testing ground for weapons systems, the Ukrainians have to be resourceful, they are testing weapons for a number of weapons manufacturers and nations. Australia has gifted 49 retired M1A1 Abrams main battle…
Defending Australia’s northern approaches
With Chinese military forces asserting aggressive maneuvers in the South China Sea and maritime approaches, the risk of escalation is seriously increasing. With threats made against Taiwan by President Xi Jinping, western nations are increasingly concerned. The lack of a consistent approach by the Trump Administration raises further concerns, there is no strategic direction, instead…
Strategic Management – is it really necessary?
Ok, so strategic management is the continuous planning, monitoring and analysis allowing an organisation to meet its goals and objectives; where does that leave me as a budding strategic planner? Strategic management involves managing resources to create a competitive advantage in an organisation, this is planning and the management of high-level organisational resources and processes.…
Charlie Munger’s three Ls
I was reading an excerpt from a Charlie Munger interview taken before his death at age 99. For those unfamiliar with who Charlie Munger was, Charlie was the longstanding business partner of Berkshire Hathaway co-owner Warren Buffett. During the interview Charlie illustrated his business acumen, his shrewdness and his risk averse outlook. Both Warren and…
