Hi,
Sometimes jokes just write themselves, and sometimes they just exist, for example, the South Australian Liberal Party.
And so today's post, 'The Ship So Wrecked Even The Rats Won't Get On'.
The SA Liberals are in such catastrophic collapse that even Ben Hood and Nicole Flint have declined/refused to nominate for the upcoming State Election.
Ol' mate Benny was reportedly gunna' have a crack at either the House of Assembly (Lower House) seats of McKillop or Mt Gambier, and Nicole at McKillop, but both have now 'withdrawn'.
The Liberals closed their nomination process without either challenging, but have since 're-opened' the process, whatevs.
Point being, Benno has already lost the 2022 election to the multi-charged Troy Bell, before being parachuted into the Legislative Council (Upper House) by his Liberal buddies.
The Benster ain't about to give-up his MLC grift for another likely loss to whoevs runs against him in Mt Gambier.
And what's genuinely hilarious about this is that Pentecostal/Fundamentalist Christians have been openly branch-stacking the Liberal Party to get control of it, with a view to banning abortion, Marriage Equality, etc etc, and they've achieved exactly nuthin'.
But I'm hesitant to celebrate the Liberals/Pentecostals' demise 'cos the last thing SA needs is the rancidly corrupt Labor Party having unfettered control of the Parliament.
Healthy Democracy requires healthy/functional opposition/accountability to the ruling entity.
To expand my hilarious 'Rats And The Sinking Ship' metaphor, it begs the question, what sort of rat would try to get on said wreck?
Enter stooge left, ol' mate MLC Frank Pangallo, who skated into Parliament on Nick Xenophon's coat-tails, and now realises his MLC grift is coming to a crashing halt in March next year.
And introducing Frank demands another Child Abuse Content Warning for this post, 'cos Frank is deeply/intimately complicit in the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, as indeed are the Liberals.
Firstly as the producer of Ch7's Today Tonight, then as Chair of his 'ICAC Harms Inquiry', then March last year, when he used my ICAC 'trial' stuff in Parliament to attack ICAC, asked for my help, did nothing, then threatened me with 'defamation'.
I've covered all this at length in posts on TMGI Blog, so I'm not gunna' trawl through it all again, if you wanna' check that out see The Blog.
Suffice to say Frank is so desperate to Maintain The Grift that he's vying for (already has?) pre-selection as a Liberal candidate.
And that's the sortta' rat that gets on a sinking ship.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
Recently I posted about the issues I experience/endure with daily triggering/re-traumatising re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, not least of all how that manifests as chronic Agoraphobia, etc.
And it's been another long week of exactly that, so today, 2 posts deeply-mired in all those same issues, and a Child Abuse Content Warning for both.
Firstly, a long radio story about a woman in Victoria who successfully had a Restraining (Final Intervention) Order removed by a Court, after Victorian Police issued one to stop her reporting 1) abuses against her as a child, and 2) the perpetrators, one of whom now works in 'Education'.
Most chillingly familiar was the phonecall she recorded, when a VicPol officer warned/threatened/gaslighted her about how it was 'unsafe' for her to keep agitating.
That sinister, carefully moderated monotone dripping with threat and barely disguised hatred.
I've had those exact 'conversations' with senior South Australian police/politicians/Lutherans et al about St Martins.
But what it really reminded me of was my rankly corrupt 'trial' for allegedly breaching the SA ICAC Act 2012 sec56 'Secrecy Provisions'.
Not only was the rancidly corrupt Magistrate Ian White hell-bent on 'Convicting' me regardless of what happened at 'trial', he also used 3 Final Intervention Orders to try to stop me 1) attending Mt Gambier City Council meetings and ABC Sth East Radio, and 2) blogging about MGCC, ABC, and the SAPol raid of my home, SAPol's lies in Court, etc.
He initially stated that he was going to 'FIO' the entire TMGI Blog, ie, ban me from doing it at all.
He provided no (legally requisite) explanation as to why 'blogging about ICAC' justified these FIOs re MGCC, ABC, and SAPol.
This followed his earlier declaration that 'the St Martins Cover-up doesn't exist', ie, there was no abuse and it hasn't been covered-up.
And that despite me having already proven that to the Magistrate he replaced, whom recused themselves citing "Abuse of Process".
FIOs are critically important legal tools to protect vulnerable people, usually women and kids, from violence/abuse, usually committed by men.
But Magistrate White used them as political weapons, not least of all to knowingly/willingly perpetuate the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up and protect The Complicit.
In November/December 2018 I had SAPol at my home 7 times (5 times in 1 week) claiming that I had breached said FIOs, and demanding I attend Mt Gambier station to be fingerprinted and DNA tested (blood sample).
I was threatened multiple times with arrest/charge, but each time I said 'well do it then' SAPol refused to do so, and I refused to co-operate, and nothing further ever came of any of it.
SAPol using those cynically/insidiously/politically motivated FIOs, to attack/harass me
As I said to the officers on my doorstep every time, "I'm sorry you've been sent here to harass and intimidate me and try to make me feel unsafe in my own home."
So that was my Monday, before I'd even left the house.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
Following directly on from yesterday's post re Mt Gambier City Council's dog parks debarkles (see what I did there) and MGCC's abject contempt for Ratepayers, most especially Public Transport users.
First off, a quick nod to former MGCC Councillor Ben Hood, who was recently yet again on ABC Sth East radio bleating about how MG's PT isn't good enough.
Not one single word about it let alone any actual action whilst on MGCC, but sure, let's hear it Ben.
For months now MGCC and especially the Mayor have been similarly bleating the exact same faux-concern.
Then last week, in the Mt Gambier Times (Friday 27th June 2025 photo below) the shark ate it's own head whilst jumping over itself.
I don't know what the Mt Gambier Times business model is or what they classify themselves as, ie, are they purporting to be a 'News Outlet' or are they merely 'Paid Advertorial', etc?
Does MGT go to MGCC and say 'sling us some diddly-dollaroos and we'll run your vacuous propaganda verbatim' or do they just print whatevs anyone pays them to print?
Dunno', don't care, the result is the same, MGCC's deceitful, gaslighting, vacuous propaganda presented as actual news.
The Mayor and The Ambulance Chaser standing in one of the very few MG bus stops with a shelter, bleating about how they're fighting the good fight for Ratepayers and PT users.
Where 'abject contempt' meets 'offensive bare-faced lies'.
MGCC is legally required to provide/maintain all PT infrastructure, ie, access to stops, shelters, etc.
The vast majority of stops in MG have neither.
Now the self-interested, self-satisfied clowns have moved the main terminus from Ferrers St around the corner into Sturt St, 100m further away from the supermarket, etc.
You try lugging arm fulls of shopping that extra 100m in the pi***ng rain; I've done it, many times over several years, when I relied on PT and used to shop at the old Coles.
As the photo below shows, these highly stylised and undoubtedly very expensive tiny lean-tos are facing South, open to the worst/wettest weather, and are only metres from the traffic lights.
MGCC openly states that the terminus was moved to free-up carparking immediately in front of their new Varcoe Foundry 'Art Precinct'.
Screw-over PT users to create more convenient parking for 'The Arts'; you couldn't make this shizzle up.
It's not just 'wanton incompetence', it's not just 'abject contempt', it is outright malicious intent.
Mt Gambier City Council aren't just rogue, they aren't just wholly corrupt, they are nasty, vicious, low stooges.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
Try as one might, one finds oneself unable to find different ways to accurately describe Mt Gambier City Council's conduct and their attitude towards Ratepayers.
So y'all will just have to put-up with phrases like 'wantonly incompetent', 'rampantly corrupt' and 'abject contempt' until one finds some other truth.
In the previous post I referred to 'MGCC minutiae of bus stops and dog parks', relative to global politics, etc, so let's do that.
Attached below, photos of 1 of the 2 (3?) such signs at Blue Lake Sports Park, showing where MGCC officially designated "interim proposed" and "future proposed" dog parks.
And even when you've stoically wrestled ya' way past the expensive stupidity of "interim", the actual 'new dog parks' are not in either spot, but to the right/East of the velodrome, right in the middle of where they run multiple horse events yearly.
Other photos show the 30m of plumbing trenched in from the nearby sprinkler; one assumes that the many large rocks strewn about will be cleared-up.
But not 31m of plumbing 'cos that water bowl is outside the dogparks; couldn't go 1m further and put it in the parks.
Regular dog park availees will have noted that there's no double-gated entrance to stop other doggos bolting as one makes one's grand entrance and/or beats a hasty retreat.
Many small breeds will go over and/or under that low fence that doesn't reach the ground properly.
Several peeps I've button-holed about it said same thing I thought, initially, that it was too small for dog parks, in the wrong place, etc, and they (we) all thought it must be corral-type pens for the horsies.
These parks are 50m+ from the nearest sealed road/parking, with no sealed access across 50m of lawn, so people will drive all over that parkland to park as close as possible.
There are currently no shelters.
MGCC cannot even install a dog park without making it a colossal cluster of pheasants.
Don't care about how much they waste Ratepayers' hard-earned, don't care about Ratepayers' amenity/welfare/comfort.
I hesitate to infer deliberate malicious intent from MGCC toward Ratepayers and most especially dog park users, but when confronted with such bewildering incompetence...
And mean the whilst, back at Hastings Cunningham Reserve dog parks, years of MGCC neglect have turned a once-fine public utility into a near-derelict dusty/muddy paddock.
But I will close with this observation, crap everywhere, especially noticeable in HCR dog parks.
I know I've occasionally missed my bad boy's efforts, it happens, but there are clearly a few people who just aren't bothering at all.
Please clean-up after your doggos.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
I will attach a 'Content Warning' to this post 'cos it's about Child Abuse, but I will not apologise for that content.
A coupla' posts back I very briefly described/explained how the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up had impacted on me, eg, how being abused publicly by school staff/parents sparked then fueled my now chronic/debilitating Agoraphobia.
Also very triggering/traumatising was/is the ongoing issue of daily reminders, eg, not being able to leave the house without encountering some local luminary complicit in the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up.
And of course constant exposure to said complicit luminaries via the local media, themselves complicit.
So it was on Tuesday 1st July 2025 when I heard 1) Stan Thompson on 2) ABC Sth East Radio, interview 3) former Mt Gambier City Councillor, now Liberal Member for Barker Tony Pasin, and then 4) former Member for Mt Gambier, Rory McEwen.
Complicit, complicit, complicit, complicit.
All wantonly complicit for their own personal gain.
I remind dear availees that on 6th May 2005 Rory, mate, went on the front page of The Border Watch, and, knowing full-well exactly what had happened to our kids, instead attacked us parents, stating, "This is very serious, these people have actually hounded the teacher."
Despite all this, I thought I had it relatively under control, until Tuesday evening when the latest Child Care Abuse Scandal broke, and police were advising parents to get their infant children tested for STIs.
And even then, I still thought I still had it all under control, until Friday.
Friday it was reported that there's going to be 'an Inquiry' into this latest Child Abuse Scandal, and that inquiry is going to be headed by former SA (Labor) Premier Jay Weatherill.
There are very few people in this country, save for example former Premier Mike Rann, former PM Julia Gillard, et al, few people more wantonly, intimately complicit in the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up than Jay Weatherill.
I've tried to "let go" and I've tried to "move on", haven't done a TMGI Blog post for months, tried to busy/distract myself with MGCC minutiae about dog parks and bus shelters, etc etc etc.
Yet, here we are.
I can honestly say that I have never in my life raised my hand to another human being, and that will not change, but I will use my words.
For example, when I state that I'm gunna' visit upon each of these luminaries the same abuses that they all know our children were subjected to by "text-book grooming pa******le" Lutheran teacher Glyn Dorling, that's not a statement of threat, it's a quantifying metaphor.
If The Complicit feel 'threatened' it's 'cos they know exactly what abuses they have been complicit in covering-up.
Yours, Nick.

Hi,
Just in case no-one's noticed, all the Channel 7s are back.
Just went to plug-in my streaming dongle and give it a crack, and, and shazzam! there they are.
No idea what's happened.
Whatevs.
Cheers, Nick.

28/06/2025

Hi,
Today's post is subtly titled, "Doggedly Floggin' The Ongoin' Dog Park Debacle".
OMG ABTW WTF, Mt Gambier City Council has slapped a brand new mini dogpark in Blue Lake Sports Park, in literally actually exactly the worst possible place.
If they set-out to achieve that, congrats MGCC, a resounding success, but other than that, it's just mind-boggling incompetence manifest.
Not even where MGCC has officially identified as being the "proposed interim" and "proposed final" dog parks, as per their official Dog & Cat Management Plan.
The DCMP as posted on 2 (3?) expensive metal signs in BLSP, signs produced/installed specifically to illustrate/explain these DCMP plans.
Below is an exquisitely crafted, very technical, and like totes accurate to scale 'Nick's Plan for BLSP Dog Parks' that I toiled-over for hours.
Okay, well, sure, hand-scrawled whilst eating a sandwich, but, you'll recognise the main features.
Step 1) Reduce highway speeds by simply moving '1 Zone East' ie reducing Dohle Rd corner to 60kph (should just be done anyways).
2) Statement Entrance Wall around that corner with large shelter/seating/rainwater tank on inner side for dog park.
3) Replace entire fence along highway, with long section of 6'ft fence for dogpark.
4) Long 'big dog park' along highway & 'small dog park' in that corner.
5) Large carpark already there with direct access to dog parks.
6) Small toilet block, ties in exactly with MGCC's current BLSP Master Plan.
7) Place 3 dog parks along Dohle Rd where there is a long section (200m+) of entirely unused ground already with 6' fencing along the roadside (some requiring minor repair) & inc 2 (3?) gates. Not paved but plenty of parking off-road, and 3rd park for doggos who need their own space, for whatevs reason.
Obviously I've horse-carted this, you start with '7)' (which could've been half-done already with the dogparks MGCC have just installed) and then when the SEW/new fencing/dog parks are completed, you've still got 3 separate areas for rambunctious puppers to cut-crook.
And not just for locals of course, just imagine the positive impression/impact on all the visitors/tourists to Mt Gambier if they get here to be greeted by a safe (60kph) turn-off to a spanky new dog parks/facilities where they can use a toilet, stretch their weary legs, no matter what the weather, and let pupper burn-off some of that pent-up energy.
Welcome To Mt Gambier.
But none of this will ever happen, mostly 'cos MGCC has bankrupted Mt Gambier, but not least of all, 'cos it's my idea.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
Back to the future with 2 regular topics, The Paradox Bore and Dog Parks.
There's apparently now a third 'explanation' for The Paradox Bore, but as of this morning, it still doesn't officially exist according to the SAWater WaterConnect site.
Flurry of activity there again this week and this time the explanation given is 1) 'cleaning the pipes ready for use', and then 2) 'going to dig a pipe through Hastings Cunningham Reserve to the water main in Sheperdson Rd and connect for those local residences to use'.
Not sure this is physically/technically possible, but even if this were true, it would need to be filtered, chorinated, and (whether you agree with it or not, and I don't) flouridated before being supplied for domestic use.
First thought though, this would be an effective way to dodgy-around the Unconfined Aquifer Allocation issue (already at maximum allocation) and related supply problems for new developments around Mt Gambier.
If SAWater can free-up some local supply by 'unlawfully(?)' draining the Confined Aquifer, that Unconfined Aquifer water can be allocated elsewhere.
Whatevs, but that's now 3 very different explanations for a bore that doesn't officially exist, a bore into the Confined Aquifer, a finite, nonreplenishable and vastly precious resource.
And no explanation for the necessity for 3 adjacent "Drainage" bores (210' deep, 1' diameter).
Again, Industrial-Scale Extraction for what? And voluminous "Drainage" from where?
Even with recent showers, it's bone-dry only a few centimetres down, and we continue to draw massively on the Unconfined Aquifer which is not getting replenished either.
Anyone who has lived here-abouts long enough knows how much rain patterns have changed, and there's a distinct possibility it's permanent, or even just going to get worse, ie, drier.
Never has Water been more critical to the future of Mt Gambier and the wider South-East, and there's something uber-dodgy with The Paradox Bore.
Will do a second post later re Dog Parks.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi;
Apologies for hoggin' the Interweb today, but, well, this...
Please see below the photos taken this morning at Blue Lake Sports Park, just in that small parkland framed by the oval perimeter fence, the velodrome, and the road.
I refer to the many previous posts here-in relating to Mt Gambier City Council's recently ratified but farcically fraudulent Blue Lake Sports Park Master Plan and their equally bizarre Dog & Cat Management Plan.
Again, if you're not familiar with the issues/'plans' please read previous posts.
In short, the BLSPMP has huge clubhouse/venue infrastructure development, multiple extra soccer pitches, including where there are currently baseball fields, etc, but no dog parks.
It also has the velodrome identified/remaining, but MGCC has told sports groups at BLSP that that's being moved to Hastings Cunningham Reserve to make way for "an AFL Women's oval".
The DCMP has "proposed temporary dog parks" where the playground/cricket pitch area is, (BLSPMP has that as a new junior baseball field), to be moved to the SouthWest corner, currently a baseball field, and in the BLSPMP, another soccer pitch.
Then Tuesday 17th May (*sorry, June not May) 2025 there's a dude with a trailer-load of new cyclone-wire fencing carefully staking-out an area in this park.
My first thought was 'dog park?' but it seemed really small and in completely the wrong place, not least of all, according to the DCMP.
My doggo took me for another walk there today, and sure enough, there's 2 distinct but connected enclosures that are "dog park". And I know that they're dog park because another doggo's hooman bailed me up and and said 'have ya' seen this shizzle?'.
I steer well-clear where possible, not hassle workers in their workspace, etc, etc, but this hooman had spoken to the tradie and was told "park for small dogs".
As y'all can see, the high fence/small fence/dividing fence set-up would indicate that this is for all dogs as per HCR Dog Park.
The total area would be less than a tennis court, and, annnddd is cordoned-off multiple times a year for horse events.
But it's only money.
Only MGCC could spend years and vast sums concocting bizarre and contradictory plans, that will never be realised anyways, only then to construct something completely different that's completely inadequate and in completely the wrong place.
Well done.
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
Todays' posts fall somewhere between 'I Told You So' and 'I Don't Know What To Tell You'. Again.
Well Well Well said the man with 4 holes in the ground only 1 of them apparently doesn't exist, well not officially anyways, and yes, it's The Paradox Bore.
If yous don't know what The Paradox Bore is, please avail y'allselves of the many previous posts on the topic here-in.
Attached below are photos taken this morning on the Rail Lands adjacent Hastings Cunningham Reserve.
Stood there lookin' at it, lookin' at it now, still can't believe what I'm lookin' at.
Not sure I've mentioned it here-in but it's certainly been discussed in a humourous sense (eg many times at dog park), that, if these 3 "Drainage" wells and 1 Industrial-Scale Extraction Bore aren't for development on HCR, or as officially claimed "for Suttontown development" or "Emergency Supply Security for Mt Gambier", then perhaps 'They' are just gunna' pump the Confined Aquifer straight into the Unconfined Aquifer to plump that up a bit.
A ludicrous joke universally dismissed as such before the conversation returned to potential actual 'realities' of why there? ISEB for what? drainage from where? etc.
Tuesday morning noticed a truck there but no activity, but didn't have time yesterday, then went for a gander this fine morn and shazzam.
Surely this cannot be what it looks like.
It didn't sound operational and I couldn't hear any water running, etc, but maybe once primed it runs silent; for all I know that set-up is goin' flat-chat right now draining that 'protected' Confined Aquifer.
I'm hoping the half-arsed, jerry rigged, propped-up on blocks of wood, spindles and bits a' plastic pipe are indicators that this is very temporary.
Sure as shreck doesn't look like "Emergency Back-up Supply Security" grade infrastructure.
Most concerning, the Paradox Bore still does not exist officially, as of like 5 minutes ago.
Again, here's the link below, search Unit Number 7022-11959, then click on 'include wells for 1km', and in 'Map Layers' click on 'Wells' and 'Well Labels'.
There's the 3 "Drainage" bores, and 1 "Observation" bore from the 1970s, but no Extraction Bore.
In the driest State on the driest Continent in the worst drought in recorded European occupation of the South East, literally every drop is sacred, so what the actuals is goin' on here?
Cheers, Nick
PS I said "posts" plural 'cos to immediately follow, 'What In The Barkin' Heck Are They Doin' Now?', a gritty tail (pun intended) about the dog parks MGCC is installing (by now has installed?) at Blue Lake Sports Park.

Hi,
'Cos this is BookFace and therefore 'open to the public' I'm gunna' replace any expletives with 'Forget', 'Forgetting', or 'Forgotten'.
Right.
Channel Seven and/or WINTV.
Like most people I don't mind a bitta' p**n now and then, but I'll be forgotten if I'll pay forgetting Channel Seven (Ch7) and/or WINTV forgetting Cent One to watch the Crows get screwed by the umpires every week.
And it's not just the actual rank bastardry of forcing Regional viewers to pay for content that forgetting Ch7 are legally required to provide 'Free To Air', but that we're being used as a tool of blackmail/extortion.
I mean, I get it, it doesn't come cheap supporting War Criminals and Bruce Lehrmann's hookers and blow demands, but why just forget-over Regional communities?
In Adelaide, it's not just still Free To Air, it's also still free buses to the footy, and free fireworks, etc, etc, etc.
Forget Ch7, I'll just watch the rugby instead, and use Twitter/Social Media to keep upto date re the AFL's latest vacuous apology to the Crows.
I live in Mt Gambier and can't even watch music clips online without the 'feed' dropping-out due to limited 'bandwidth/connectivity', let alone what's gunna' happen when everyone's trying to stream at the same time.
By choice I don't use any 'Streaming Services' or even any 'Apps', but also I'll need at least a new compatible TV, and likely a more modern phone.
I'm also on the DSP so it's a cost I simply cannot afford.
Devil's Advocate: is it WINTV asking 'too much' or refusing to pay CH7's otherwise quite reasonable cost requests? I dunno'.
Long-term locals do know though full-well how local content has been completely axed by WINTV.
And please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't CH7 legally obligated to provide the footy/cricket Free To Air as part of their broadcasting contracts?
Cheers, Nick.

Hi,
The June long weekend is a very unpleasant time for myself and some others because it is a very unpleasant anniversary.
At this time, my opinion of 'Mt Gambier' couldn't be lower, and the best I can do is walk away, deal with it, suffer/endure the trauma, pick myself up as best I can when I can, and try to go again.
On the June 2002 long weekend teacher Glyn Dorling was "removed" from St Martins Lutheran School following children's disclosures of grooming and/or abuse.
The kids were Grade 2 (7-8 year olds).
Parents had been complaining about Dorling since the Lutherans moved him to Mt Gambier in the late 1990s, "following an incident in Adelaide".
After he was removed, us few parents who pursued justice for our kids were openly, publicly targetted by St Martins/the Lutherans as troublemakers/liars, eg, "purveyors of bad rumours" (school newsletter).
I was repeatedly bailed-up and abused in the street, the supermarket, on the bus, etc; it's the main driver behind my (officially diagnosed) Agoraphobia.
For example, senior St Martins staffer Cherylanne Perryman did this multiple times, in front of others, at the supermarket and in the street, and most egregiously, 3 times in front of my young son.
I and other parents fought tooth and nail for years, forcing Child Protection involvement, a Teachers Registration Board investigation, and then a Parliamentary Inquiry into the TRB, etc.
SAPol refused/failed to do any investigation and repeatedly publicly/officially blamed parents for that refusal/failure.
The TRB completely exonerated Dorling, accepting his 'defense' that 'the kids were forcing themselves on me and I couldn't control/stop them'.
Mt Gambier media, the ABC South East Radio and The Border Watch, were/are wantonly complicit.
There isn't a politician/police officer/media in this town/state who isn't (wasn't) complicit.
I can walk into a (current) Mt Gambier City Council meeting and start pointing at the complicit.
Yeah, but that's right, Nick Fletcher is the problem.
So, I apologise that I didn't go the Public Transport meeting or the MGCC Budget meeting, but if you think Wulanda is the only 'corrupt' problem Mt Gambier has, I cordially invite y'all to have another good, hard think.
Cheers, Nick.
