Another Koltai Rant of a personal nature. It would appear to me that the Supreme Court in New South Wales is more interested in clearing it’s docket than ensuring that justice is served. This might be because yesterday, I lost my case (filed in March 2007) against Tricom Equities. Or it might be [...]
Late last year I was speaking to industry representatives about the outcome for the iiNet court case. They all believed that it was a lay down misère, (in favour of themselves). After all, there was little old iiNet, a small (by world standards) ISP and there were thirty-four financially well heeled complainants. (Just on [...]
Setting the Scene. Consultants are people/firms that are hired to divorce an organisations internal politics from a result and quite often, consultants bring with them a differential focused expertise in the area requiring their expert attention. There’s an accepted modus operandi for consultancy firms in business, “When you get hired, look for more [...]
When I was four years old, my family constructed a house. I asked my father how the builders knew what went where. And he told me about the plans and showed me the blueprints. I was enthralled, here was a method to build something. Draw up a master plan, order the lumber, roofing iron, and [...]

I am sure that we have all been victims or observed the playground bully at work.And some of my readers may even have pulled wings off fly’s. I’m ashamed to admit that I did. Although I am pleased to announce that my magnifying glass torturing of ants and fly’s ceased when I was about 9.As [...]
I just can’t believe that big business doesn’t yet understand the guaranteed formula for failure. Interdiction of an activity that is desired by the majority of the population will be met by alternative technological means. Each time Governments, Lobbyists and the partnered Judiciary (well they have no choice really, most judicial appointments are [...]
Have you ever noticed how the media is sometimes used as a weapon of mass destruction? Example: News Headline: Jews are Ruining the Economy! Result: Krystallnacht and 6 million Dead Jews. Rupert Murdoch wields News Limited as his private editorial rapier, slashing, trimming, opining and burning. Burning institutions, politicians, industrialists, bankers, entrepreneurs. [...]
Sometimes when you are being serviced by a professional, you have to say “No, I don’t like what you are doing for me. I don’t like your charging regime and I certainly don’t like the lack of results that you are managing to achieve.” Most members of the public consider lawyers are Gods. They understand [...]
