And with private cover I'll get better post op care.The reality however is that our health system got screwed with, with far too many funds which should go towards hospitals being absorbed in supposedly "free" GP health cover. The whole Medicare scam is gruel for the masses. Good luck with your knee surgery on public, but you can get your GP visit for the sniffles subsidised.

It's apparently a dub over some 'COAG talks kick off in Canberra' speech.In which incidentally she announces that the government is going to 'roll out' electricity smart meters, to 'save energy'.

Could be quite useful if they ever want to shut down the public communication infrastructure, while remaining able to communicate among themselves. Not to mention the health questions, or even address _how_ a 'smart meter' is supposed to make any difference to power consumption.The bullshit is strong with this one.

Your right with elective surgery though...choose your own specialist and no waiting list - that's the bit that people get stuck with, dying or deteriorating health and/quality of life while you wait on the elective list. But 50 years ago you just fell off the perch! So the masses are better off than they were. Health care is improving but its improving faster for those who want to pay...the way it always been I suppose.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on December 07, 2012, 12:24:51 pmAre you sure? There's a serious news article about her opening some official meeting, and the head image is a still frame from that exact same video. Perfect background match. Can't re-find the link now. I was thinking someone may have done a clever job with voice morphing software, which is able to match anyone's voice so well you can't tell. Though doing that *and* lip-syncing it to a video seems like quite a trick.Does anyone have a link to a story where she's explicitly shown or said to have recorded that clip?I'm actually seriously interested in finding out if that's really her talking or not. It's a mildly significant thing for subtle reasons, either way. (And yes, I *am* aware it's comedy either way. Not taking the content seriously.)

We begin bombing in five minutes."According to Wikipedia,it never really went to air,as alleged in the Urban Myth---spoils a good story,though!

content: Quote from: EEVblog on December 08, 2012, 04:50:08 amThanks. That's something of a relief. It would be a bit disturbing to learn that voice morphing plus with lip-synching to a video talking head was now commonly available. I guess she just did it in front of the same backdrop as for the COAG speech.The 'smart meters' stuff though... sigh. I wonder what other forumites think of the claims being made, re the benefits/downsides? Maybe start a new thread on this."Not compulsory installation" she says. How much do you want to bet that 'drifts' a little over the next few years?
