EVERALD COMPTON

A young Aussie in his 90's making a difference in vital areas of life such as Positive Ageing, Infrastructure, Water, Earthcare, Refugees, Poverty and Religion

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Today's Guardian headlines widespread malpractice in #agedcare where residents are charged extravagant fees for services they don't want & never asked for. Tragedy of aged care in Australia is that legislation heavily supports providers not residents. Huge change needed NOW.

The grapevine was more believable than modern #media and the horse and cart never failed to perform like the internet does.

[Karl Burns @SimonBurns4]

@EVERALDATLARGE But you had the grapevine and horse and cart right?

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Human beings always make mistakes.

@EVERALDATLARGE Bad take Everald. Should we go back to 1930s standards? You said it yourself, no one could help back then. Things have changed.

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

I grew up in rural village of Linville during Great Depression of 1930's. No home had phone or car & there was no doctor within 100 miles. People died as there was no one who could help. We accepted it as part of life. Now we demand that govt should fall when 000 does not work.

Criticism of @AlboMP podcast mistake is over the top. Entered into spirit of jocular chat & forgot he was on air & not at pub. Apology was sincere. Albo haters are unforgiving people who never sin.

Was honour to talk on radio with #DerrynHinch & when he helped me when he was in #Parliament. Never dull. He did not ever avoid a challenge.

Brits are celebrating 250th birthday of #JaneAustin at festivities in Cotswolds. Last night I enjoyed #Brisbane celebration of Pride and Prejudice at QPAC. Extraordinary that her books still sell well after so long. Some remote relative must be getting lots of royalties.

The Rubbish Man will beat #Farage

[Jimallen1962 @MountainJim1962]

@EVERALDATLARGE Farage is accused of electoral law violation because of massive undeclared donations so he resigns and thinks if he is reelected somehow the court of public opinion will cure his alleged wrong doing. There is no logic or rationality in this exercise which will waste public money.

@EVERALDATLARGE Yeh what’s your favourite whisky?

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

See you at #Uluru.

[Fanny Fitch @FannyFitch]

@EVERALDATLARGE Goodness! So, I’m starting training tomorrow - if I can get to 11 Kms, I will try to be there. If not, I’ll donate x

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Absolutely. Only ever drink single malt #whisky. Blended whisky is only good in a hot toddy to cure flu.

[Patrick @Patrick84810371]

@EVERALDATLARGE Single malt, I presume?

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Just been to cardiac centre for annual heart check. Got opinion as to whether my old ticker will keep working when I do 11km charity walk around #Uluru on my 95th birthday on 5 October. Passed 100%. #Whisky every night does trick. Look forward to enjoying your company at Uluru.

May I say with total sincerity that a rubbish bin describes 90% of world's politicians.

Sad that #Trump is such a slow learner. He still has not got message that 3/4 of people of #Iran are fundamentalist Muslims who will happily die for Allah & their nation. He can kill tens of millions of them & they will never surrender. He is absolutely unaware he has lost war.

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Piece in @THEMONTHLY on #PaulineHanson. 'There is undeniable sense that our lives now are harsher, housing is bleakly unaffordable, social services stretched & tenuous. We distrust major parties & are cynical about their commitments'. Destroying #OneNation will not remove this.

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

For millions of years #Uluru has been spiritual heart of #Australia. I will lead walk around it on my 95th birthday 5 October. As we raise funds to give direct help to people facing crises join me as we experience spiritual strength of generosity & compassion.

Negative impact that #politicians worldwide have on practice of #democracy is at its lowest level in history. There is now universal lack of trust by voters in entire international political establishment. World now needs a new Abraham Lincoln. Desperately.

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Decline in world stature of USA since #Trump became President is significant. His deliberate cheating in #World Cup dragged it down further. Popularity of #Belgium win is enormous.
