ExPoster Peter Katsambanis aka Driver and who set up the Buckley Surfers website is now an MLA in Perth. Previous he was in Parliament in Victoria. His new electoral office has no disabled persons access.
The governments enact laws forcing business to provide these facilities but the bozos can't enforce it on their own lawmakers.
He declined to comment. Normally you can't shut him up

This takes the cake.
Robert Mugabe has long faced international sanctions over his government's human rights abuses.

However, the World Health Organisation's new chief is making Zimbabwe's President of 30 years a "goodwill ambassador."

With Mr Mugabe on hand, WHO director-general Tedros Ghebreyesus told a conference on non-communicable diseases that he had agreed to be a "goodwill ambassador" on the issue.

Mr Tedros, an Ethiopian who became WHO's first African director-general this year, told delegates in Uruguay that Mr Mugabe could use the role "to influence his peers in his region".

In his speech, Mr Tedros described Zimbabwe as "a country that places universal health coverage and health promotion at the centre of its policies to provide health care to all".

That makes sense.

No-one can put out max effort for that long day after day, so it ends up taking 16 hours to do 8 hours work.

The soldiers used to tellme"we work 24 hours a day". By 4.00 pm they had all left except fridays when it was 3 pm. That along with going to the gym, whingeing about conditions and organising the next posting. If they had to doany minor effort they would put in for and invariably get granted extra leave. I used to get shot at by the boss for getting in around 9.00 and I just daid "Well since 50 percent of my real work is with the SASR and they tend to ring about 5.pm I am still on a train 3 hours after you have got home",

The RAAF were worse. the Navy at sea have no choice I suppose.

The UN has become a parody of itself. The organisation is beyond a joke now.
