Is the only exercise you get jumping to conclusions? Found or even coming forward are more sensible outcomes. He may only be a witness, but as usual it’s hang first think later (if at all) here.

	bd84 the-riotact.com/bd84	2012/04/22 at 12:40 am Posting this is almost certainly a bad idea given the pending court action and the nature of this individuals accusations, which seem to be somewhat self motivated. If they really wanted action they would submit the accusations to the correct channels rather than sending it to a web forum. There is absolutely no benefit in allowing a discussion on such post.

	matt31221 the-riotact.com/matt31221	2012/04/21 at 9:28 pm I once was good friends with a nice bloke who used to be the shift manager years and years ago at weston Kingsley’s. He was working his butt off doing heaps of overtime and preparing a lot of the foods for the other stores too. Anyways the owner of Kingsley’s was ripping my mate off and owed him thousands of dollars in overtime and standard back pay. After the debt owed to him got bigger and bigger the owner was still fobbing him off. He decided he had enough because he had bills to pay and it was obvious the manager was not going to pay him. On his last day he decided to get revenge while he was making the coleslaw batch for all the restaurants for the day/week. He whipped it out and unloaded a full bladder of urine into the mix, finished the coleslaw and containered it all up. So the boss owner calls him and says the coleslaw tastes a bit different, my mate said he must of put too much mayo in and the owner sent all the coleslaw out to the stores! I kind of feel my friend was hurting not only Kingsley’s doing that but he was back stabbed with the pay issue pretty hard that was his reasoning! That say urine is sterile so I imagine no one would of got sick but it is the principle of the thing LOL. I never eat at Kingsleys and I wretch whenever I think about the coleslaw!

	ka1042 the-riotact.com/ka1042	2012/04/21 at 8:54 pm It is well known that Canberrans are the most educated and informed population in the country.

	ka1042 the-riotact.com/ka1042	2012/04/21 at 8:23 pm AsparagusSyndrome said : I don’t regard local government issues including health, education, transport, local government services, etc to be the ‘frilly stuff at the edges’, when considering where to cast my next local government vote. And while the ridiculous local housing bubble and unaffordability is certainly a huge issue for those renting or looking to buy (I fully agree – it’s totally stuffed) , the majority of Canberra’s population is not in that category at any given moment. So there are ‘other issues’ at play for many of us, and they do matter. In the interests of democracy through a well-informed electorate (especially for those thinking of voting for an alternative government), we can click here to learn about the current policies of the Canberra Liberals: http://www.canberraliberals.org.au/ABOUT-US/OUR-POLICIES/OUR-POLICIES.asp And if that’s too ‘big picture’, and we want to learn and understand how they’re vigorously responding to the issues of the present and taking it to the government of the day (so that we don’t end up with a complacent or lazy government), here is their ACT News, a vibrant and dynamic list of matters that they wish to put before the electorate for our consideration: http://www.canberraliberals.org.au/NEWSROOM/ACT-NEWS.asp I’m pleased to see that the pages load quickly and there’s not a hint of obfuscation. My only other suggestion is that it could use some background sound effects… perhaps crickets. It is 6 months out from the ACT election and it is well known that Canberran’s are the most educated and informed electorate in the country. So that Canberra voters can fully understand what an ACT Liberal Government will do for them under a Zed Seselja/Brendan Smyth Government, can I refer them to the Canberra Liberal website, fully informing voters what they can expect :http://www.canberraliberals.org.au/ABOUT-US/OUR-POLICIES/OUR-POLICIES.asp If you are still unsure, can I refer you to AsparagusSyndromes previous post directing readers to the Canberra Liberal party’s News site which offers a vibrant and dynamic list of matters that they wish to put before the electorate for our consideration: http://www.canberraliberals.org.au/NEWSROOM/ACT-NEWS.asp Happy reading.

These overpaid lazy Liberals couldn’t give a stuff about Canberra, banging on about the ACT Labor party without offering any alternatives. 6 months out from an election, just look at their website http://www.canberraliberals.org.au, the clunkiest website I have ever seen from a party wanting to lead the ACT. Their website hasn’t been updated since the last election in 2008. Shows how determined they are. They have no intention of winning government and if they did, they just wouldn’t know what to do. What a joke this ACT Liberal mob are. I remember the early Labor days in the ACT when Kate Carnell and Gary Humphries offered a vision for an alternative Liberal government in Canberra.	Wake up Zed!

	BearBuns the-riotact.com/BearBuns	2012/04/20 at 5:35 pm For those people who are insisting that the accused did not get charged with downloading this filth, how do you know that? Because it wasn’t reported in CT? Here’s a leap of logic for you – 25yo with liking for young persons and access to a computer = porn! How many 25 year old men with a pulse does anyone on here know who has not accessed pornography on the computer? Are you seriously saying that because a five line press release didn’t reveal whether he was charged with accessing this stuff that he didn’t have it? He was charged with using the internet to deprave, what do you think he was using to deprave the young person? Chocolate cake? Below are some news stories for you to contemplate and at the bottom is what is known as the Oliver scale which rates the severity of the images. If you want further detail, look at the COPINE scale. These images are viewed by thousands around the world, and the police do their best to catch them because it often results in locating abused children. One thing about these slimebags is that they ultimately are cowards, otherwise their targets wouldn’t be children. Once they are caught they don’t reoffend until such time as they feel it is safe to do so. That usually takes a little while. Unfortunately they usually get better at hiding it. Not that this prick should be out on bail – throw him in general population and see if he makes it to court. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-27/canberra-men-face-court-over-child-porn-ring/3915620?section=act http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-23/police-crack-major-child-exploitation-ring/3907498 http://www.mako.org.au/Queensland-police-dismantle-child-porn-site-save-29-kids.html http://www.judcom.nsw.gov.au/publications/research-monographs-1/research-monograph-34/Monograph34.pdf Oliver 1 scale Level Content of images 1 Erotic posing with no sexual activity 2 Sexual activity between children or solo masturbation by a child 3 Non-penetrative sexual activity between adults and children 4 Penetrative sexual activity between children and adults 5 Sadism and bestiality

Well… maybe I just don’t have your superior powers of situational awareness. >>Even if you didn’t go there while the gates were shut in the past, the signage and gates are still >>visible? indeed… they are not invisible… in fact I must have ridden/driven/walked/jogged past them thousands of times – but guess what, I hadn’t noticed them before… (there’s so much sign pollution in Canberra I tend to just phase it all out)… (obviously I should be hanged (I’m sure you’d be up for the job) for such a wild and irresponsible devil-may-care approach to municipal signage)… we’re not all as perfect as you I’m glad to say… So you’re inattentive, out of shape (hence you can’t carry some photo gear) and needy but everything is the fault of government – yep, nothing screwy with this kind of reasoning.

The Greens are big on protocol, so they should know that. That said, Corbell has sat on the report longer than any previous environment ministers. The others have released the report instantly, or (in the case of Stanhope) within weeks of it being published. Let’s face it, these reports don’t say too much these days.

	Tooks the-riotact.com/Tooks	2012/04/18 at 1:06 pm c_c said : Tooks said : Wrong. When on duty they are often already out on patrol. They are not firefighters. oh Tooks, quit now. You’re just digging yourself deeper. This comment is wonderfully moronic. You just can’t make this stuff up its so silly. Your disputing the use of SRS for police pursuits because rather than being at their HQ all the time, they’re already out on the road on patrol. Wow, yep, you’re right, better not bother the SRS if they’re busy driving around waiting to intervene in something. They’re very, very busy waiting and mustn’t be disturbed with anything. Of course the more logical people out there may realise that: a) you’ve got tactically trained police out and about 24×7 anyway, in vehicles with bull bars and with advanced weapons training. b) That means they’re equipped to PIT and could easily be equipped to use high calibre weapons to disable a vehicle at distance. Frankly I would much rather see the SRS used to quickly end a chase via tactical means than examples like in that YouTube video above where 20 AFP vehicles chased it through the centre of Canberra, into a high pedestrian area where it was finally stopped by a member of the public using their own car as a ram. Do it quickly, do it in a calculated way and you reduce the risk to harm to all concerned. And though employing tactics used in war zones may seem foreign, let us consider that just a couple of decades ago, it seemed foreign to have police in large engine cars or carrying semi-automatics. They drove 4cyl vehicles and had revolvers from the early 1900s. Compare how Police were equipped to handle the Jollimont siege and how they are equipped today.

	c_c the-riotact.com/creative_canberran	2012/04/18 at 9:39 am Tooks said : You have proven to be absolutely clueless when it comes to law enforcement. You’ve been asked several times for your solution on how to make these pursuits safer and you’ve ignored them all. You were asked specifically how you would’ve managed the Brisbane pursuit better and you offered nothing. You are clueless enough to join the Greens. Tooks said : Once again, playing the man and not the ball. By the way, what’s a ‘serious’ pursuit? I thought they were all serious. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. It’s not standard practice. Out of the 50-70+ police pursuits in Canberra each year, very few would involve SRS. The only time they become involved is when they are already on duty and in a position to do so. Even then, they would never chase a vehicle. Your ignorance on this topic is embarrassing. Tooks unfortunately hasn’t woken or sobered up yet this morning. But then again he does specialise in personal attacks and stupid contributions. Let’s all remember what he said in February of this year regarding a police pursuit: http://the-riotact.com/wanniassa-stolen-car/65412 User “awj” commented: “While its all well and good to state it only reached 110 in an 80 zone, it was still very dangerous. 80+km per hour down a busy hospital road. I think the limit is 40km was extremely dangerous. Very lucky nobody pedestrians were hit crossing hospital road.” To which “Tooks” so insightfully replied with this reasoned comment: “So presumably the answer is to let him get away. Wonder if you’d feel differently if it was your vehicle.” Attacking someone for suggesting it was dangerous to maintain a high speed pursuit through an area of high pedestrian activity signposted at 40. I particular like this silly comment at the end about “your vehicle” because of course no one else’s life matters if your car is stolen and you want it back. Grow up. You can’t read, you can’t exercise reason. If you can’t see that I’ve repeatedly said what the solutions are, then your mental faculties are lacking. To repeat, Police need to use technology and tactics to catch these people in a smarter way rather than in prolonged engagements of escalating risk where offenders push the boundaries until Police are forced to give up, either by: a) ending the chase faster and more decisively (through use of the PIT or disabling the vehicle) and/or b) deescalating pursuits while maintaining surveillance to allow apprehension (GPS tagging which companies in the US are now offering, use of traffic cameras).

	hk0reduck the-riotact.com/hk0reduck	2012/04/17 at 12:52 pm Hi Tony, I run a small artifical grass sales & installation (i.e Astroturfing) company in the local region. I don’t have much capital so I’ve resorted to running my own Grass Roots advertising campaigns in the local region, however, they seems to have backfired. You see, I decided to run an advertising feature on a local blog and in order to generate extra interest I created a few accounts (I used names like Jonesy58 and Flower12) and commented on my own article. Unfortunately, I was called out on it because the comments I left were large, well written and posted within minutes of each other.

	c_c the-riotact.com/creative_canberran	2012/04/16 at 10:55 am Dilandach said : Mysteryman said : I would support a push for changing the law to allow 16 and 17 year olds to be tried as adults. Your honour, the defendants have had terrible childhoods in low socio-economic circumstances that could have potentially included violence. Imposing a custodial sentence on these young men at this time for a low range crime would not be a benefit to the community, they have not had the chance to rehabilitate themselves and show that they’re an asset to the wider public. I’m getting very tired of that excuse being used to let people off softly. The logic doesn’t hold up. It is true that low socio-economic circumstance does negatively impact on educational outcomes. In fact a student who comes from a welfare family will by the middle of primary school have only half the vocabulary of a student from a more affluent background. That impact of educational outcomes subsequently affects occupational prospects. Magically going from that through to criminal activity is moronic and a silly line of reasoning for lawyers and judges to follow. Given what a sparky or a plumber can make, and certainly someone in resources, you frankly don’t need to be wordy or intellectual to live a decent life these days. What it comes down to is character, not circumstance. Some of the greatest people in this country have come from humble beginnings and were able to be successful, not because of the dollars in their pocket but the character they were engendered with. Those who lack character and commit crimes against society should be dealt with as an example to others and to firmly impress on them the need to change.	Teen servo blaggers apprehended 19 #

If only there was some unit of exchange – currency, we could call it – that people could quickly and conveniently access (perhaps from some kind of machine, located around the place?) , and slip into birthday, christmas and wedding cards. Then we would be free from the tyranny of these highly conditional “gift cards”. But until that happens, and while we have no alternative to bartering or for intertemporal transfers of consumption, we are at the mercy of the stores and the conditions they impose on what is clearly our only unit of exchange.

It doesn’t mean that nobody should go to uni so that they can increase their chances of being a billionaire. The only causal link is the subset of unlicenced people who lost their licence for simply being dangerous drivers. They are grouped in with the unregistered people and cause most of the correlation.

	Alixia the-riotact.com/Alixia	2012/04/11 at 6:24 pm She recently wrote a new handout: “My name is Min Li Wu. I have started to protest since last year. People asked me why do I protest? Because I have nowhere to else complain, I need justice. The reasons for protesting are follows: 1.I have consulted couple of legal aid solicitors, until now I am still keeping consulting some of them to get advice. Those legal aid solicitors told me that Keith Bradley has 100% overcharged me. Earlier on, I sent a couple of emails to Keith Bradley asking them to stop representing me on the case, but they still charged me legal fee of $20,957.93. The solicitors from legal aid introduced me to a professional standard director, Mr Robert Reis who works for the law society, I told him about my case, I thought I found a justice, but out of my expectation, he answered me that there was no misconduct by Bradley Allen and Mr Robert Reis wrote he would now close the law society’s file. I do not understand why solicitors from legal aid told me I was overcharged by Keith Bradley, but Mr Robert Reis said Keith Bradley no misconduct. Where is Justice? 2.I have sent emails about my case to media, ie. Win Television, Today Tonight to tell the public how unfair I had been treated by Keith Bradley. One of the journalist Mr Louis from Canberra Time knew my case and interviewed me and he told me he would follow up reporting the progress of my case. 3.I even have looked for a Councillor, Ms Vicky Dunn and told her about my case. On one occasional, I met with our Chief Minister Ms Katie Gallagher and Deputy Chief Minister Andrew Barr on the street, they had a talk with me and they knew my case. 4.Some solicitors suggested I go to legal cost to seek a help. I rang legal cost and told them about my case to one of the staff, but he told me he is working for Keith Bradley, there is nothing he can do for me. 5.I have been told until now Keith Bradley has taken an amount of $153,456.62 from ACT Public Trustee, which means without my consent, it seems like they took more than 50% of my daughter’s deceased father insurance money. I have checked the Balance with ACT Public Trustee, it is $6,700. Without any legal documents, ACT Public Trustee hold this money and refuse to return back to my daughter. I did not know why ACT Public Trustee could not release the balance to my daughter, thus my daughter and I went and talked to Ms Susan La Payre. She told me because Keith Bradley told her to hold on to the money due to I am suing Keith Bradley for overcharging, unless I stop protesting, they will not release this $6700 to my daughter. As I said before, I am protesting because Keith Bradley overcharged me. I feel this is unfair and I nowhere else to complain. I only can protest to show how angry I am and to tell the public what bad behaviour Keith Bradley has. All that Keith Bradley has done made me feel unbelievable, I wonder if the power of Keith Bradley is higher than Law? Just because they are a big law firm, no one stands out against them. 6.I have researched Human Rights from websites (www.ohchr.org/en/issues and Living in Australia Five Fundamental Freedoms) to know it is illegal that Mr Timothy Morton and Ms Ruth Winchester, who are the solicitors in the employment of Bradley Allan Lawyers are taken photos of me while I was protesting in front of the Supreme Court. Why do they master the law term but they still deliberately against the law? I have learnt and realised I can only look for my justice from the court and show all the true evidence to every one. Although I have lots of issues with my health, I had gastric bleeding, high blood pressure, arthritis, stress and well as having limited English, I still insist protesting everyday, because I believe in fairness and justice will come to a normal person like me one day. I want an independent investigation into this.”	Strange protest, sad story 20 #

Where are the investigative journalists when you need them? What about the Rhodium Asste Solutions debacle? (Can’t blame Actew for that one) Who were the director/shareholders at the time that were derelict in their duties?

Openly contradicting attitudes like that in discussions amongst men is pretty important – as this discussion is showing – so thanks RiotAct.

2012/03/19 at 6:36 pm The RiotACT guidelines – you should read them sometimes, specifically … “however our most important principle on RiotACT is civility. We’re well aware that the anonymity of online conversation has lured people into being much ruder than they’d dare to be in person. So the principle here is not to say anything you wouldn’t say face to face” So…you still think it’s OK to use the term ‘wrinklies’ in your post? If someone is elderly, then it’s fair enough to call them elderly – but ‘wrinklies’ is subjective and highly derogatory.

If a woman had slept with someone and then regretted it in the morning, she would shut up about it and tell noone. the very last thing she would do is to ring the police, claim it was rape and alert the media to tell everyone she had slept with a creep. Logically that idea makes no sense whatsoever. You don’t know too many women, they are mostly vindictive bitches.

However I have read quite a bit about Omega 3 Fatty Acids from Fish Oil being quite effective for Bi-Polar Depression, and not so much for Mania. Here is a link to the latest meta-analysis by Sarris et al from the University of Melbourne on the topic: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21903025 There is quite a bit of information out there that the purified or much higher ratio Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) might offer stronger results than the combined EPA 180 mg /Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) 120 mg formulas that you can find in any health food shop or pharmacy in Australia (EPA and DHA apparently compete for absorption). Products like VegEPA and Bioceuticals’ Pure EPA Max Strength are available in Australia. Given that Fish Oil is considered such a healthy substance for the body (for example for the heart), I would definitely recommend taking it regularly for any Bi-Polar sufferer. Experimentation with the amount taken and the specific ratios of ingredients should enable the individual to work out what works best for them. One might find that regular intake of oily fish might be enough for them to get the ‘Fish Oil effect’ – just taking the edge off depression and decreasing one’s emotional reactivity. Also, long term, Fish Oil needs to be taken with a good antioxidant – Vitamin E in mixed Tocopherol form will protect from excessive oxidation. Another interesting nutraceutical for Bi-Polar looks to be Uridine. A formulation of Uridine, RG2417, is being studied by the drug company Repligen for the disorder. It is available online from overseas – as Uridine Monophosphate and Triacetyluridine. Interestingly it seems to synergise well with Omega 3 Fatty Acids. See this thread for some people’s results with Uridine: http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/51802-gpc-choline-uridine-dha/ I wouldn’t recommend taking Uridine without being very careful as it is a pretty new supplement, but something like Fish Oil (in its various forms) should be useful long-term for anyone with any kind of mental instability.

It is possible that a scientific expert might be able to add to your clearly vast knowledge on the subject. I have been around a lot longer than these carpet-bagging “climate” scientists Jethro and I have not experienced any of the changes they claim are happening. The spin they are now using is insulting the intelligence of people like me; for example: – “global warming” (which isn’t happening) has now become “climate change” even though climate by definition is something that changes all the time – the failure of devastating drought predications have now been blamed on “climate variability” which appears to be a new sub-category of “climate change” – observable human-induced climate change commenced when impressionable dim-witted, Al Gore mesmerised governments, under instruction from the IPCC started bankrolling “climate” scientists. Then we have our own CSIRO claiming they are able to measure the composition of air 800,000 years ago? Give me a break! – the problem predicting “extreme weather events” using “climate models” is a non-problem because (extreme) weather (events) will happen today, tomorrow, just as it has from the beginning of time. – there is no evidence of permanent rising of sea levels due to anything (including “climate change”) yet subsidence of land masses on tectonic plates is an ongoing thing the same as silting up of the estuaries of rivers due to land degradation in catchments. My “vast knowledge” is limited to facts only; that’s all that should matter for a world that has greater problems to deal with e.g., over population, aged care, etc. Subsequently, I don’t have any capacity to absorb the tax-payer funded computer modelled spin masquerading as science.

I heard her asking rhetorically in what other countries in the world are governments referred to by the name of the capital? Well the answer is plenty, from “Washington” to “Damascus”. Needs to get the dial of ClassicFM a bit more often. Anyway, I don’t hold much hope for the Centenary anymore. The initial program looks threadbare and boring and the list of sponsors is tiny, less than for a typical art exhibition in Canberra. Between a penny pinching government, a failing retail chain and shrinking media company, there’s not a heap of backing. I think Ms Archer was a dreadful choice to run this “event”. The guy who does the hardware ads on TV (Brendan) would be much better – I’ll bet more Canberrans identify with him than the arty Archer. At the end of the day, Canberra being 100 years old is just another day and I don’t really care what non-Canberrans think, feel or say about Canberra.

Sorry mate but Gay is not a choice as much as you iwsh it to be. You stated there was no gay gene, I just said that that was an opinion and not the absolute you made it out to be. “That’s just an opinion” is exactly how Homeopaths and anti-vaccine loons defend their idiotic nonsense. You do not appear to be the full quid. Personal insults are the why you defend you idiotic nonsense. Basically the denial of people who quiet plainly exist soley because you don’t particulaly like them does not really sound taht coherrent of an arguement. Gay people exist. It isn’t a choice.

The ones who don’t get caught? Or seek to get caught to make a political point? So a great great many really. There’s an important distinction between rationality in and rationality of. A irrational act can be undertaken rationally, and vice verse. So more to the point, what crime is the result of a rational decision to break societal norms? To break the law always requires a certain amount of irrationality. Indeed it’s very dangerous to start speaking of rationality in breaking the law because so many major criminals, including political ones in history, have spoken of the rationality of what they did what they did.

HenryBG said : bigfeet said : Even if that religious education promotes hatred, discrimination and bigotry against a section of the community..Gays and women for example?. It doesn’t. Here’s a clue: just because people don’t agree with you and don’t share your values does not entitle you to use political correctness to attempt to shut them up. Think about the communist origins of your approach to public debate before trying to label people in future. So linking it back to the original post about there going to be a new Catholic Archbishop of Canberra. Can you tell me how many women, or openly gay men will be eligible for this highly paid and extremely influential position? How does your question relate to your patently false assertion to the effect that, religious education promotes hatred, discrimination and bigotry? Answer: It doesn’t.

	dungfungus the-riotact.com/dungfungus	2012/04/05 at 12:20 pm Just reported by the ABC (so it must be right): “Electricity prices in Canberra are set to increase by more than 17 per cent, adding about $244 to annual power bills. The Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission (ICRC) is charged with setting the price of electricity in the ACT. It has released its draft review of costs to take effect from July 1, for the 2012-2013 financial year. The commission estimates the increase will add an extra $244 a year to the average household electricity bill, or about $4.70 a week. The ICRC says the majority of the increase is due to the Federal Government’s carbon tax. Senior commissioner Malcolm Gray says the Australian Government’s price on carbon contributed to 13 per cent of the price rise, or about $3.65 per week. He says the other 4 per cent is due to increases in network charges and delivery costs. Mr Gray says the price rise does not take into consideration the ACT Government’s energy efficiency scheme, due to commence on January 1, 2013. He says the commission will consider the impact of that scheme in its price direction for 2013-2014. The commission is required to set power prices for two years, but this draft is only for 12 months. Mr Gray says the ICRC will review the electricity market again next financial year after the price on carbon comes into effect, before setting prices for 2013-2014″ This is what Labor call “doing the right thing”	Climate Change to shrink like a polar ice cap 74 #

Then you went on to agree with the following post that there should be less stupid laws. Which is you making my point better than I could. So we are in agreement after all. Why should anyone be pulled up and cautioned on an obscure (in your words – stupid) point of law when they’re ambling along with their dog on a sunny afternoon. Counter-productive in both the context of community safety and strengthening community relationships.

	HenryBG the-riotact.com/HenryBG	2012/04/04 at 2:38 pm johnboy said : Considering what Catholics have done to non-catholics through the ages they can shut the hell up and take it. So…the Bishop of Canberra has to shut up because Charles V’s court had William Tyndale burnt at the stake? Is that the logic? You only have to compare the asymmetrical treatment of the christian minority between the Irish Republic on the one hand and the occupied 6 counties on the other to see that unashamed intra-christian religious bigotry is pretty much a one-way street in the modern age. It’s also amazingly entrenched. It wasn’t until the late 60′s that David Jones (and many others) stopped including “no catholics need apply” on their job ads. It would be too much, to ask that such bigotry disappear entirely in such a short time.

For example: “Should the proposal as outlined here be adopted: Engage external management consultant – 3 month study, implementation could be up to 2 years” Implementation up to 2 years? For something that has arisen with so little notice, seemingly in a panic, there’s a lack of urgency in that when the cuts might not be finished until after the budget period they’re trying to rain in spending for.
