Commenting on “Dragon axed from Moomba”
Isn't there a Chinese Councillor in the City of Melbourne? He is amazingly quiet about this matter!

I wonder what happened before the "invention" of gym, netball, tennis, etc. Were all the women over-weight? I also wonder what Dr Lombard means by slow and tiring jobs. Is it mentally or physically slow and tiring?
Too much emphasis and credit have been given to exercise by doctors and experts, thus making it the panacea of fixing weight problems. What is lacking in the grey matter in these professionals and fanatics are commonsense and the concept of self management / discipline. Weight gain is the consequence of excess food intake. If energy requirement and dissipation are reduced, one should consume less, no matter whether the food is cheap or tempting.
I have not seen a single obese resident in any aged care home; they hardly do any exercise, and the jobs they performed are slow and tiring (by their standard). So forget about those "expert advice"; start lowering your food consumption. Walking to the toilet, getting letters from the letter box, preparing meals, washing dishes, mopping the floors, wiping the tables and floors, brushing teeth, washing face, rubbing or scrubbing body in a shower, etc. are good enough daily exercises to keep your heart pumping and oxygen flowing.

$25m promenade plan for Swanston St

I've lost count of the number of times Swanston Street has facelifts and each time new promises to make it a better Swanston Street.
I'm not a fan of John So, but at least he was a de facto publicity machine to sell Melbourne, and probably attracted external injection of money to the City.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle does not keep his words made during the last election. Can you trust him for all his future promises, and of course include this $25 million project? Can he guarantee that there won't be cost blowout, just like projects executed by other fast-talking, bullshiting politics salesmen?
By the way, the International Education industry will experience a slump as from now on, mainly due to the change in government policies and partly the bad publicity on racism. This has a disastrous impact on the City usage by the international students, upon which the prosperity of the city depends so much on.
Crowd and congestion is a sign of busyness, and should not be viewed as a weakness. Would Robert Doyle, or yourself go to a restaurant with customers, or dead quiet like a graveyard? Unlike Bourke Street, Swanston Street is a major thoroughfare. Hands-off please!
