When cowards hide in authority, the world is lost. The wounds allow to fester, like a splinter beneath the skin. The wound becomes inflamed and wars begin as the red rises. We have looked to our elders in their higher wisdom. Here, in this example you find the truth (that must couple with understanding and comfort) of what authority means. It is where we look to those of the greater wisdom of our environment. For we seek to learn. It…
‘ … She tore their boats to splinters but she gave them dreams to dream.’ – Democracy, from Woodie Guthrie’s ‘Roll on Columbia’ Well, knucklehead has appointed Tough Tony as indiginous envoy. Christ, lord almighty .. I’ve spent a bit of time talking with the indiginous and I’ll tell ya, there isn’t a person more detested and distrusted by the indiginous than Tough Tony. This isnt something Ive just discovered (nor is it a fact that Scotty and the boys…
Went deeper bush yesterday .. kinda by accident .. a change of trees and birds. Too many trees. One of the problems with going deeper bush these days is that you always come across some poor soul who’s trying to go even deeper. For whatever reason. Anyway, the little clearing I’m in – obviously a vehicle dismantling yard at sometime in the past, not the sort of place backpackers stop in – is part of the ingress to a ‘deep…
Great we have been given a new chief thief. Don’t throw out those old dictionaries .. Scotty’s a language guru, can make nonsense out of anything that make sense. He was ‘elected’ our leader. Elected with a very slim majority by a minority within a minority. Thats how we, Australia, get our gifted leaders … By a default. No options. Thank god the English didnt have to come down here again! Safe pair of hands they say. Yep .. as…
Ahh MalCon… He’s a ramblin’ man – again, as usual. Very worried that Pistol Pete just may not be eligible? … Not good. Blessed Section 44! Conduct Unbecoming of an Australian, or something. Living off the proceeds of our childrens future. Mmmm, childcare in a system that pays people to have children. Yes its dodgy. Neo-liberalism run rife. Dutton says he’s good. Allowed to. The law. Not as though he’s on the dole, or in the police force or a…
A small thing that irked me today, a royalist head was raised! This should really be a part of suicide radio but it goes to show the fine lines we can blur with regards to responsibilities these says. I heard a political commentator, when asked about the likely hood of MalCon calling an early election – say next week – answer that he .. and he chuckled here, ‘.. thought the Governor General might have something to say about that!…
So, we’re going to see a softening of Pistol Pete, this should be a wonderfully Australian experience. There was a time when we knew pretty well just how to soften fellas like Pete – with a club, a cat. His buddy Christ Porter of the ‘cash cow’ Welfare System weilds a stick he calls dignity … A big fat stick he flogs dead horses with .. can we now expect to see Pete walking the streets in flagellation with the…
.. I hear today that the ‘new guard’ aren’t challenging Malcon, that’s a shame. They says Pistol Pete has 30 out of 85 neo-libs who are ‘on his side’.. well these days that’s a majority, with 30/85 you get a mandate. And with a mandate, well, the world’s your oyster. The oldies like MalCon, I’ve never worked it out exactly. Why? He’s conservative now, so it make them feel safer. Still a face from the past. Secure. He says so….
So, its official, the neo-lib New Guard believe the Dickhead from Dickson is going to lead the good Aussie kids into the future. Not my kids he ain’t! It’ll be over my dead body and I’d hope there will be many more who feel the same way. How a man such as this can possibly be touted as a ‘leader of the future’ – of Australia! – is incomprehensible. It just shows how much disrespect this current band of draconian…
Pistol Pete the leader of the neo-liberal Nationals. I say it cannot happen.. cannot! It would however be just the ticket to strike fear into the complacent Mars travelling juniors of Australia. For me it means death or extreme joy. Can you imagine the electorate of Dickson running the country? It already feels like they are.. I suppose thats demockracy? What, percentage wise, does Dirty Dutton hold his throne of Dickson by? 1.6%? 1.6%! Can we assume, that – like…
