What should our nation focus on as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds? #EwansCV19Manifesto
- Sovereign supply chain risk appetite re-evaluation and accountabilities made public
- Removal of casual and weekend loading in exchange for all workers holiday, sick leave and other benefits accruing per hour worked
- Local manufacturing capability safeguarded from lowest-price government and government related purchasing behaviours
- Government purchasing behaviours for CAPEX items evaluated over lifetime value of asset to help minimise low CAPEX up front with high OPEX tail that becomes someone else’s problem in subsequent periods
- Removal of any capability for foreign
ownershipcontrol of any land or significant assets well how is the deal with the Auriel yeah course ridiculous one hour of your crew one hour
- No tax payer funded bailouts.
- Personal guarantees from directors that agree to government short and medium term assistance that is paid back in full
- No assistance to organisations nor employees of same that do not pay full Australian taxes on profits against Australian benchmarks. (Employees need to take responsibility as well)
- Reduction of the market power of Australian supermarkets
- Re-nationalisation of previously privatised assets that are not really creating any value
- Increase tariffs to encourage AU self sufficiency in strategic capability areas
- Change in investment, taxation and financing policy to decrease the leverage of residential property for investment purposes and return residential property to the status of a ‘home’ so that nearly everyone can afford a roof over their head.
- Privacy & anonymity freedom will be attempted to be reduced in the name of bio security. Common sense will prevail as the sheeple majoritys’ opinions are ignored by those that understand what is at stake if the CV19 rationalisations are allowed to prevail.
I am a simple man, with a brain, but not fully informed. Different perspectives and beliefs are interesting to me.
I invite debate and to have my mind changed via the usual comms channels. #EwansCV19Manifesto
Some wise words from a good friend, Steve. ”
Our nation has often been scared of change. I recall the failed introduction of a GST. People scared of Medicare propergander. Elections lost over removal of imputation credits.
I would think our self-centred voters would care about their mortgage, their superannuation, their jobs and their holidays.
What should our nation focus on is as different thing to me.
I guess I would have to look back after the great depression to have some idea. But that went for years.
If the restrictions go on for 6 months, I reckon our Aussie will forget within 3 months and again return to their self centred ways.”

When the rules don’t match reality. Does this lead to complacency?

IMHO – Modern day cars don’t achieve sticker promised fuel efficiency promises in real life on real roads anymore.
If they did, there would be less general commentary in the motoring press on the gap between sticker and real life and I would not have experienced this personally in a variety of cars from a multiple manufacturers.
Testing regimes therefore seem to be flawed as they don’t achieve their core promise which is to simulate real world driving conditions on behalf of the consumer.
Therefore, the degree to which this VW and BMW thing “exceeds” “regulations” should be kept in perspective given we all “know” that the numbers are nowadays “wrong” as evidenced by our inability to ever achieve the promises of the new car fuel efficiency sticker.
– question: what does it mean for an organisation if they choose to allow themselves to adhere to “rules” that dont match reality?
– question: what does it say about a regulatory authority when it knows thats its core processes and deliverables are broken even though its cause is noble?
– question: what regulatory environment are the market participants actually operating in? The formal or informal?
– CP: follow the cash back to who benefits from this mess

Lots of articles on this item. Example http://flip.it/VxGg4
How too many rules at work keep you from getting things done.
I found this Ted talk interesting as Yves Morieux has found an engaging way to help visualise how cooperation between organisational members can be more important than efficiency: clarity, measurement & accountability. This video was a good use of my time and in it Yves argues that our focus on creating measurements and KPIs can easily derail human efforts.
I normally just read the transcripts of TED videos but this one delivers greater impact when watched in full.
