True, dear old Capitalism is having some problems at the moment, what
with GFC and PIIGS in Europe - but the Solution is: Everyone will just have
to work that much harder. Austerity!
Of course, our "socialist" ALP govt has had the temerity to impose and/or
increase taxes on those hard-working mining companies (mostly foreign-owned)
who are repatriating massive profits to their overseas shareholders, who,
having invested, can sit back and do nothing more - except welcome the
dividends.
Indeed, locally, if you choose your parents right, you can grow a Money
Tree - your dad may have discovered minerals, planted a claim, and he and
offspring can then pluck the leaves off the Money Tree for generations to
come.
On the other hand, there is some truth in what you say, as even the
Commos had to change their rule of "From each according to his ability, to
each according to his need", so the last word rehd "work". And Cuba has had
to cut the numbers on its public pay-roll.
However, while the workplace in our Western Utopia consists of "those who
do the work, versus those who get the profit", ie. employees vs external
shareholders, then you can expect the "class war" to continue, like it or
not. Aided by greed for Profit; urged on by Competition Policy.
To summarise: you can be a Predator or Prey, in today's society, and even
among predators the Bigger eat the Smaller - which is why most of Oz is now
run by Transnationals (called welcoming in "foreign investment").
In the Corporate Jungle of Plutocracy, Wealth is a sign of Virtue, and if
you are Poor it is probably all your own fault; so Couch Potatoes, and Dole
Bludgers, get a Job!
Meanwhile, those who live mainly on Dividends, Interest, and Rents, go on
endless Cruises, blissfully aware that their loyal CEO back home is pruning
the Workforce.
Toyota workers - what are you complaining about? Market Forces?

Complete & utter rubbish. Most 'rich' people are there because they
identified an opportunity and pursued it (instead of sitting on the
couch). They certainly don't set out with the ambition of looking down
their noses at anyone.

Clive Palmer treats his employees with respect & rewards them well.

Wayne Swan just cut budgets in Canberra knowing full well that it would
result in job cuts (or if he didn't, he's too stupid to be Treasurer).

This would be OK if everybody started off on an equal footing rather than be

Why would that make it OK for the most greedy to take whatever they can from
everyone else?
It starts in kindergarten, long before any difference in work value or
education. Some people are just born that way.

How much work and reward do kindergarten kids achieve? The greedy ones just
take from the weaker ones.
Just how much "work" have Gina Rheinhardt and Clive Palmer actually done? I
bet their cleaning lady works harder!
Hard "work" and income are more often inversely related in our society in
fact. The higher you are, the more lackies you employ to do the real work
(at basic wages), and the more time you spend at long lunches (at company
expense) and on the golf course "networking".
It is simply impossible for anyone to "work" a thousand times harder than
those on minimum wage, yet many "earn" even more than that.

This would refer to the 3-5% of Australians assumed not to want work,
and all those bludging Russians, Chinese and North Koreans?

And yet the ultimate aim of the rich is generally not to have to work
hard if at all. We now have a giant dollop of grey nomads with their own
sports classification and 'lifestyle villages' for anyone over 55 who
has 'made it'.

15 odd years of potential work down the drain while we import slave
labour to cover their arses while those who have 'worked hard for it'
sit on the beach in Broome.

the teat of this once great nation, who expects to be continually
drip-fed by the hard-working wealth generators of society. Take note of

You need to learn the lessons from history about who creates the wealth
and the systems which succeed and fail to keep it flowing. The leftard
couch potatoes stare at rocks lying on the ground from their recumbent
languor, but then demand a share from those who would toil to dig and
turn them into money. Parasites at best.

You're starting to get the idea. Achieving the right balance to keep the
wealth generation going and to supply the essentials (but not the
luxuries) to all of the population is the key to a successful economic
system. Reduce the incentive to work and it reduces the incentives of
the wealth creators. As shown in the valuable "sobering lessons from
socialism".

Yeh, "luxuries" like food, shelter and healthcare according the the Liberal
philosophy.
Babies are the only thing they consider essential, but only until they get
to school. And definitely not when they are adults.
Very strange concept in a world with 7 Billion people already.

You seem to think that "hard work" is restricted to breaking rocks 8 hrs
a day, 5 days a week (not counting RDOs). What about the project manager
who puts in 80 hrs per week, largely unpaid, to set up the job for the
rock breakers in the first place?

Soviet socialism collapsed and China is now a booming capitalist Mecca,
despite the "traditional label". North Korea? Who knows what people
really want there, other than to get out of starvation and deprivation.

Really? I'd think that those who have earned their self-funded
retirement savings are entitled to spend it as they wish, having
contributed over their working lives to the general pool. Just as
handout recipients are entitled to save and spend as they wish, after
contributing nothing.

So you are suggesting the "work till you drop" idea, as labelled by the
leftards, which Howard was castigated for?

Never said that, workers at all levels do a job. Some get paid 10 or 20
times as much as others, but yet those who do little "work" can get 1,000
times as much or more. Only the *truly greedy* believe that is appropriate.

And the fascist right think the working class should work till they drop,
while those on the highest incomes get the biggest superannuation benefits
to retire on incomes *far* above those the workers will ever get by still
working!

You call these "luxuries"? They are the fruits of a healthy capitalist
economy which become the essentials of the high standard of living such
an economy generates. AFAIK, Liberal has always advocated providing for
these as essentials. You seem to have things arse up.

Because it's what I've done for lots of years. You ought to ask somebody
with a professional job in a corporate environment how many extra unpaid
hours they put in each week.

And them. I still found time to do voluntary work for the local school,
despite all the extra unpaid hours I worked for "the job". All depends
on how efficient you are. Sounds like you need to get out more.

That's because the latter have furthered themselves, mostly at their own

their own wealth or shared wealth-generating enterprises. That is their

Ask how many dollars an hour they earn even *IF* they worked 24/7/365!!!

Nope YOU do, The Lieberals put a "luxury" tax on housing, tried to put a
"luxury" tax on ALL food, but settled for a tax on some of it. Plus a
"luxury" tax on electricity, gas, transport, want to get rid of public
healthcare,.....

Nope never said that either, what I said was 10,000+ times per hour wage for
one person than another is TRULY ridiculous. And they greedy bastards are

Surely 100 times minimum wage is enough incentive for anyone with ANY moral
fibre at all. (Obviously doesn't include you then)

"Unpaid" is a truly stupid statement for people on a yearly salary rather
than an hourly rate. Or those who recieve $billions in royalties whether
they do anything or not.
Unpaid is what REAL volunteers do.

Fuck off, I do lots of unpaid work, not that work which is included in your
yearly salary you deem incorrectly as "unpaid".
The issue is "unearned" income received by those who claim Australia's
resources belong only to them! :-(

Did you forget the smiley? Many pay no income tax at all, and pay the same
15% on their super income, even if it's $millions, as do the poor struggling
to forego their 9% compulsory super, which was traded off years ago for not
recieving pay increases.

This is the truly dopey extreme of the opponents of socialism. How
would Australia Post or Singapore Airlines be improved if they were
not Government owned? Why would we be worse off if the Australian
government bought all the shares in Telstra or the Commonwealth Bank?
Do you really believe that a chip shop proprietor works "harder" than
a soldier or a nurse? How would you compare the work ethic of a senior
Government paid worker such as Tony Abbott with that of a privately
employed worker like Gina Rinehart?

Large corporations, Government or private, are unsuited to running
some businesses such as restaurants that need an individual touch.
Many other businesses, particularly "natural monopolies", need to be
run by large corporations and you can decide whether they should be
"socialised" or so highly regulated that they might as well be.

No hypocrisy there at all. You simply fucked up in your interpretation.
That still doesn't answer the question you just tried to avoid:

But what would they be doing if not for Gina Rheinhart, Twiggy Forrest
and Clive Palmer? What wages would they be on by comparison with their

Ask how much wealth and employment opportunity they generate for the
country per hour. Compare that with your own contribution in these areas.

What's stopping them? All they have to do is undertake some risk in a
mining venture. What? No takers from the couch recliners?

Of course not. But I see no need to operate on the politics of envy
(didn't get Latham very far :-)). And I do admire the way they generate
all the wealth and employment that the country gets to share in. I like
the way I do the same in much lesser degree. But I still object to it
going towards bludging parasites of any description.

Sure, the carbon tax represents a price increase on all these items,
which could be called a luxury tax at a stretch. And there's the GST
which the Australian people, not the Liberal Party, voted for. But where
is this Liberal luxury tax? Or is this now just more leftard lying?

You clearly have no idea of what goes on in the professional world.
Typically a decade ago, a corporate IT professional might put in an
extra 20 hrs per week on $90K pa. Hardly billions and hardly for doing
nothing. Get a reality check into how the corporate world works before
making comment on it. FFS.

You sound more like a fuckwit the more you type. The leftards see rocks

do some work and turn them into dollars. Then they demand their share
from their recumbent couch sprawl. Fuck the parasites.

I agree there are inequities in taxes and benefits which IMO are
unjustified. But the entire thread is about "Some sobering lessons from
socialism". Bottom line is that the more equal you try to make
everybody, the less wealth will be generated for the nation as a whole.
The marxist method has failed and the lessons are there to be learned.

Voluntary work is after hours, unless you are paid so well you can
afford to piss off from work in the day time. It's generally not private
domain of the well healed, nor anti-socialists by any stretch.

Well treated workers probably have no great need of a union. Whether
they believe certain industries should be state or communally owned will
depend on many things.

True. So different tasks, expertises and outcomes will end up being
worth different hourly rates. Sounds like the basis of a good system.

It's not the private domain of any particular group. Much the same as

True. Lowly paid workers obviously do have a need for dependable union
support, like HSU members.

Anybody talking equal pay whatever you do, is no part of any social or

No system works unless everyone does his or her job properly, and that's
not exclusive of any human activity or social theory.

The point being that if (say) Clive Palmer was allowed to be paid (a
bit) more than a truck driver, he'd probably, being the smart bloke he
is, figure that he'd be better off truck driving supplemented by some
weekend runs, than risking it all in generating economic wealth to serve
the nation. You'll note those lessons have an implicit suggestion of
"degree" within. Once the degree gets to, say, that of the former USSR,
the system collapses.
Again, the message (I got) from those sobering lessons from socialism,
was in relation to the degree... something to monitor very carefully.
Joe Hockey made a very salient point on Lateline just before - that the
EU countries are now effectively asking Australia for money so that they
can support their people on pensions at an _earlier_ age, while
Australia is trying to push the qualifying age up! The more socialist
wanting to borrow money from the less socialist. I think there might be
something in that for all of us.

It's not so much Clive's pay people are bothered about, it's the truck
driver who takes nodoze to work enough hours to support his family.

This is Australia with a debt 23% of GDP, supposed to be ruined by our
socialists? The USA has the biggest debt of all by shear amount, I
wonder how anti-socialist their unemployed are when they get kicked off
the dole after a few months.

Perhaps or maybe not. As Hockey points out, France is needing Australia
to prop it up so that people can retire earlier there, while affordable
child care enables people to keep working and contributing.

As usual you can't accept facts that not all unemployed vote Labor, or are
left wing or socialist. And not all unemployed recieve any government
benefits in any case. Conversely many $millionaires and $billionaires do
recieve taxpayer money. But you never let facts get in the way of your
hypocrisy.
How about all the businesses who liquidate to avoid their debts and taxes,
and just start another "pheonix" company. A far bigger pox on society IMO.
What have your beloved Libs done to stop that? Right, same as Labor,
nothing!

Who cares when there are millions more workers on *much* lower pay to worry
about. And ex workers on no pay.

What share? Only a small percentage are employed in the mining industry. Not
enough taxes to make up for the destruction of other industries it is
causing. Not enough taxes to compensate for the finite reserves of publicly
owned minerals being taken by private interests for their own short term
profits.
Sure 0.01% of the population is doing WELL from the mining boom. How about
the rest?

What a moron, the Libs replacing a tax only on luxury goods with a tax on
food, housing, gas, electricity, transport etc. *IS* declaring them
"luxuries" that should be taxed, rather than necesseties.

Nope, its the Rabid Right lying about the benefits of the Lieberals GST on

But those 'lessons' miss the mark focusing on how hard the individual
works, when corporate or public ownership is mostly about rewarding
anyone but the worker.

Life for the worker is largely the same in either. I have done both.

The sobering lesson is neither party, the rich or poor must not be allowed
to get out of hand. The rich must pay their dues and the poor have a need to
strive to make a living. The government has to work hard to give every one
opportunities to succeed. A level playing field for everyone willing to put
his/her back to achieve is a very good idea. Overall Australia is quite a
good country that provides such level playing fields. It is also quite a
compassionate country that looks after the genuine down trodden. No one who
is responsible starves

The lessons are about the factors which will lead to the collapse of the
entire system - the tipping point which can be arrived at when a govt
finally runs out of other people's money to spend. Because nobody sees
it as worthwhile any longer busting a gut to generate enterprise and
wealth, when they are just as well off doing something much easier, or
nothing at all.

It wasn't the Libs who imposed the GST - it was the Australian people
who voted for it. The carbon tax OTOH was unmandated and most
Australians were/are not in favour of it. Yet it impinges on every
single cost of living. Looks like you're the only moron here if you
can't see the difference between a democratically chosen tax and a
draconian Labor lie.

The people voted for the GST fuckwit. They also voted for
"There will be *NO* carbon tax under a government I lead".
Spot the difference. Liberal democracy vs Labor lies. Now run away and
learn about the unsavoury realities of you abhorrent political party.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA
MELBOURNE REGISTRY No. M21 of 2012


BETWEEN: Le Tuan Pham
Applicant

and

Minh Nguyen
Respondent



APPLICANT’S SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

Part I:
[A concise statement, in the case of an application for special leave
to appeal, of the special leave questions, said to arise.]

I. There are genuine questions of public importance arising from this
application:
a. The Refugee is vilified in public, and in this case by public
authorities; the Applicant is a refugee;
b. Where Racial Hatred has been legislated against directly, as in
Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, inter
alia;
c. The Refugee deserves to be allowed to stand up and make a case for
himself;
d. And not be vilified on his Engrish or bad English, even though
natural justice does not rely on any specific language;

II. There seems to be a difference of opinion between the courts;

III. The interests of justice require
a. that the Refugee be heard,
b. And be given proper and clear reasons for his questions;
c. Where there is clear and direct legislation for protection of basic
human rights;
d. Where there is clear and direct legislation for the protection of
natural justice in lieu of human rights.



Part II:
[A brief statement of the factual background to the application.]

1. On 1 March 2011, the Applicant signed a residential lease under the
Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (VIC) with a landlady at unit 2/23
Virginia St, Springvale 3171;
2. The question then arises whether the “shared room” the garage, was
habitable.
3. At VCAT on 30th August 2011, there was a consent order made by
Member J Kefford for compensation for the Landlady’s Breaches of Duty,
and the validity of Notice(s) to Vacate.
4. The Order states that the Applicant must move out by 30th
September, without further cost as to rent, and that the Landlady may
apply for possession AFTER the 30th September.
5. In addition, the Member struck out one Notice to Vacate and
withdrew another for being incompetent.
6. Two (2) days later, the respondent breached and showed contempt for
the VCAT order and violated the timetable for vacating the premises,
by filing for possession which was subsequent heard on the 26th
September.
7. Due to the breaches and violation of that consent order by the
respondent, the Applicant sought to have his moving costs,
inconvenience and other associated costs compensated,
8. The Applicant then re-issued a Breach of Duty Notice on the
Respondent, and indicated that he would now withdraw his intention to
vacate;
9. The Applicant argued that there was no valid Notice to Vacate, in
front of Member G Cremean; the member refused to hear on Compensation
for breaches of duty.
10. The Member failed to provide any order on the day of the hearing
and took some weeks to provide her reasons.
11. Member Cremean then backdated her orders to the day of the hearing
and order that the Applicant vacate the premises in two (2) days;
12. Knowing the bad faith and willful conduct of the landlady and her
real estate agent, Tony Rachele of McLennan Real Estate, the Applicant
sought review to protect his properties.
13. At the Supreme Court, the Applicant sought to appeal on the merits
of the decision from VCAT and seek an injunction against the
possession order.
14. The affidavit and supporting medical report from the Applicant
that went unchallenged was filed to be heard with Cavanough J in the
practice court, and now resubmitted to the High Court.
15. Cavanough J made the Applicant chase down the Respondent to be
present;
16. Cavanough J refused to allow an adjournment on medical grounds;
17. Cavanough J refused to provide written statements of reasons for
his decision, under valid court procedure rules;
18. In the Court of Appeals, the Respondent failed to turned up
19. The court of appeals erred by failing to indicate which Notice to
vacate was valid
20. The Court of Appeals erred by requiring the Applicant to challenge
on a question of fact that the applicant has moved out to the
premises.


Part III:
[A brief statement of the applicant’s argument.]

The legal profession has a fifty percent (50%) success rate, meaning
every time a case is brought before the courts, one side would lose
any case. If the Australian Medical Association has a fifty percent
(50%) success rate, they would be labeled charlatan.

The Refugee deserves to be heard and be seen to contribute to
Australian values and Way of Life in the Australian Court of Law.

The Grounds of judicial review are satisfied by the Applicant:
 a breach of natural justice;
 an error of law; and or
 a failure to take into account a relevant consideration.
Section 5 of the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977
(Cth) ("ADJR Act") lists the grounds of judicial review, which largely
reflect the common law grounds at both federal and state levels, as
follows:
1. A person who is aggrieved by a decision to which this Act applies
that is made after the commencement of this Act may apply to the
Federal Court or the Federal Magistrates Court for an order of review
in respect of the decision on any one or more of the following
grounds:
a. that a breach of the rules of natural justice occurred in
connection with the making of the decision;
b. that procedures that were required by law to be observed in
connection with the making of the decision were not observed;
c.
d. that the decision was not authorized by the enactment in pursuance
of which it was purported to be made;
e. that the making of the decision was an improper exercise of the
power conferred by the enactment in pursuance of which it was
purported to be made;
f. that the decision involved an error of law, whether or not the
error appears on the record of the decision;
g. that the decision was induced or affected by fraud;
h. that there was no evidence or other material to justify the making
of the decision;
i. that the decision was otherwise contrary to law.

2. The reference in paragraph (1)(e) to an improper exercise of a
power shall be construed as including a reference to:
a. taking an irrelevant consideration into account in the exercise of
a power;
b. failing to take a relevant consideration into account in the
exercise of a power;
c. an exercise of a power for a purpose other than a purpose for which
the power is conferred;
d. an exercise of a discretionary power in bad faith;
e. an exercise of a personal discretionary power at the direction or
behest of another person;
f. an exercise of a discretionary power in accordance with a rule or
policy without regard to the merits of the particular case;
g. an exercise of a power that is so unreasonable that no reasonable
person could have so exercised the power;
h. an exercise of a power in such a way that the result of the
exercise of the power is uncertain; and
i. any other exercise of a power in a way that constitutes abuse of
the power.

Review under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977
(Cth), especially under section 5, seems to indicate an enactment of
a. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
b. International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimination,
c. Inter alia;

Into Australian laws: an exercise of a power that is so unreasonable
that no reasonable person could have so exercised the power;


The other grounds of review pursuant to statute: the Victorian Charter
of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006.
a. Section 8. Recognition and equality before the law
b. Section 13 Privacy and Reputation
c. Section 24 Fair Hearing
d. Section 32 Interpretation
e. Section 38 Conduct of public authorities
f. Section 39 Legal proceedings



Part IV:
[Reasons why special leave should be granted.]

I. There are genuine questions of public importance arising from this
application:
e. The Refugee is vilified in public, and in this case by public
authorities; the Applicant is a refugee;
f. Where Racial Hatred has been legislated against directly, as in
Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, inter
alia;
g. The Refugee deserves to be allowed to stand up and make a case for
himself;
h. And not be vilified on his Engrish or bad English, even though
natural justice does not rely on any specific language;

II. There seems to be a difference of opinion between the courts:
Court of Appeal erred by failing to heed proper Authority:
Kostas v HIA Insurance Services Pty Limited [2010] HCA 32
Gurnett v The Macquarie Stevedoring Co Pty Ltd [No 2][126]


III. The interests of justice require
a. that the Refugee be heard,
b. And be given proper and clear reasons for his questions;
c. Where there is clear and direct legislation for protection of basic
human rights;
d. Where there is clear and direct legislation for the protection of
natural justice in lieu of human rights.

IV. In M142/2007 Pham vs the Commonwealth, the same Applicant to this
application, asked the court for Writs of Mandamus, the High Court
Australia decides without his consent that the Applicant meant
Certiorari. Surely, the Applicant’s Engrish is not that bad! The
Refugee feels insulted, humiliated and intimidated.

V. Provisions dealing with racial hatred in 1995, the Racial
Discrimination Act makes it unlawful for
1) The act must be done in public;
2) It must be reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or
intimidate the people against whom it is directed; and
3) It must be done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic
origin of the group against whom it is directed.

VI. The threshold is “the victim's perspective is the measure of
whether an act is likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate”.

VII. The threshold is indirect unlawful discrimination based on race
and or disability.


VIII. In Reggie Wurridjal, Joy Garlbin And Bawinanga Aboriginal
Corporation V The Commonwealth Of Australia And Arnhem Land Aboriginal
Land Trust, the Honorable Justice Michael Kirby suggesting that the
Aboriginality of the applicants influenced the High Court decision.

IX. "If any other Australians, selected by reference to their race,
suffered the imposition on their pre-existing property interests of
non-consensual five-year statutory leases … it is difficult to believe
that a challenge to such a law would fail as legally unarguable on the
ground that no 'property' had been 'acquired'," he said.

"The Aboriginal parties are entitled to have their trial and day in
court. We should not slam the doors of the courts in their face. This
is a case in which a transparent, public trial of the proceedings has
its own justification."

X. Justice Michael Kirby seems to be taking into consideration the 3
provisions of racial hatred in the Race Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth),
namely it was made in public, the victim's perspective in whether an
act is likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate, and that in
all likelihood, natural justice in lieu of human rights, would have
been afforded other Australians in such circumstances.

XI. In this particular case, the applicant submit that property has
been acquired, namely the filing fees for this application,

XII. And that just compensation, must be afforded the Applicant and
that he be heard and that he be given competent and proper reasons as
to why his questions are not valid;

XIII. Justice Michael Kirby seems to be equating natural justice with
human rights, and that protection for natural justice in
Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth), inter alia.

XIV. The accompanying VCAT Directions of Senior Member G Nihill
Ref:A41/2012, and at least five (5) other cases coming from VCAT, and
at least three (3) coming from G Nihill, seems to indicate that VCAT
requires the Applicant to test what is proper judicial conduct,
especially in providing improper legal advice and the handling of
evidence, and direct legislation of conduct to be compatible with
natural justice if not human rights, enacted by the Victorian
parliament.





Part V:
An order for costs should not be made in favour of the respondent in
the event that the application is refused because the respondent
showed contempt for the legal process and correspondent laws and
courts, by failing to attend the court hearing.

In a related matter in front of VCAT, the representative of the
respondent, Mr Tony Rachele of McLennan Real Estate indicated to the
effect that “he couldn’t be bothered”.

In the absence of the respondent, the Court of Appeal Victoria in
effect acted for the respondent in a capacity that violates their
independence and neutrality.


Part VI:

the applicant relies, identifying the pages at which the relevant
passages appear.]

Yeah the US sails dangerously close to that point, and brought the rest
of the financial world a lot of grief with its starry eyed notions of
profit. A rather weird time to be warning people of the dangers of
socialism.

Dear Victorian Premier,
Attorneys General,
Friends,

1. In M21 of 2012, the Refugee is attempting to uphold True Blue
Aussie values.
2. How will the High Court Australia respond? Will they vindicate the
Kirby J dissent in
Reggie Wurridjal, Joy Garlbin And Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation V
The Commonwealth Of Australia And Arnhem Land Aboriginal Land Trust?
3. The Refugee deserves to be heard and be seen to contribute to
Australian values,
and Way of Life in the Australian Court of Law.
4. There are so many hurdles for the Refugee to jump over but we
finally managed to get the documents filed today.
5. Will our audience pardon our Engrish, but surely the rule of law
does not depend on the language.
6. We shall see, what we shall see

Respectfully,

The Refugee
