Our Snowy Hydro “Gatekeeper”
Editorial:
The concentrated dedication of Max Talbot, the public “Gatekeeper” of our Snowy Hydro, remains a thorn in the side of the cash strapped NSW Iemma Government, currently entrenched with firming allegations of MP corruption, sexual misconduct, with yet again Minister Tripodi under a cloud as of previous years all leading the greed driven Snowy Hydro CEO, Terry Charlton (pictured), and his executive, standing to make a fortune in bonuses under their employment agreements from privatisation.
NSW seems to be happy re-electing the best government money can buy.
So what part of “NO SALE” delivered by the owners (we the people), in a very LOUD nation wide voice to the governments who control our asset, do these employees not UNDERSTAND?
Max has background and qualifications with 43 years in electricity, 18 of those with Victorian Energy, 25 with Snowy Hydro. Appointed Snowy Hydro Executive Engineer in 1979, was involved in corporate agreements, including water licenses. He was promoted to Executive Officer Strategic Engineering of further planning Snowy Hydro assets, projecting for 20 years, from where he retired in October 2003.
SOS-NEWS was very involved with the “People Power” voice that averted the fire sale from NSW, VIC, and Federal Government, who were just smart enough to realise, their political futures were zero if they continued with the sale of the peoples property.


SOS-NEWS would like to thank Editor, Ray Platt, for allowing us to publish this story that appeared in his newspaper “The Strategy” February 2008 edition.
As many as 700 marchers participated in the February 3 rally, some chanting slogans and waving placards such as those shown in the photos threatening violence toward “those who insult Islam.”
Oh! how our political party system forgets constituents disaster needing urgent government help to which their elected member is ignored.
Blackwater is a private corporation that specialises in training mercenary soldiers in this multi billion dollar “Private Army” armed to the teeth with top technology killing equipment that is sanctioned by the US government.
Thirty years ago, at 12.40 am on February 13, 1978, a bomb exploded in a garbage bin outside Sydney’s Hilton Hotel, the venue for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Regional Meeting (CHOGRM), a gathering of government leaders from former British colonies. The blast killed two garbage collectors, Alex Carter and William Favell, and a police officer, Paul Birmistriw.
