I wish it was possible to ignore the world, to find some sort of sense in the hermitage of ignorance. I wish that silence gave me the pleasure that it once did … I’m not born for this new world. I live in a box but somehow bringing down the shutters and flooding it with artificial light doesn’t work for me … no matter how hard I try I can’t understand how it works. This new world seems like a…
Ours .. aint it? I mean this dosh the neoLibs – the poor Nats just dont get a look in these days eh – are going to jump up and down about saving the country .. its actually our money, taken from us in order to provide the things we need on a collective basis. You know, from those according to their means, to those according to their needs. Is that the ideal? This ‘budget surplus’. How do we get…
Now forgive me for being such a dumb cunt, but why are all of our refugees up on Manus & Nauru criminals? Now we have Air Vice-Marshal Osbourne telling us that these poor people and their children are criminals. Me, being an Aussie, a not so proud anymore Aussie, would just like to know what it is that our refugees have been convicted of? When I was a proud Aussie I prided myself on being up with the news of…
Billy Boy, the King says you’re not talking to the right people! He says you’ve got it all wrong .. he says that ‘mainstream Australia’, thats the “Christian majority” have a different idea regarding just what injustice and tolerance are … He says justification of intolerance are what Aussies want. Says its fundamental to a true Aussie character. He says corruption also is tolerable as long as its Pistol Pete’s – and Christ’s – version of it. However … He…
So because you are all so bored with my usual tripe .. my usual wrong headed socialist human rights farouche, I thought I’d put some sort of a philosophical question into your facing winds. Lets take as an example a great Australian, shall we say a man for poor seasons .. let’s take Pistol Pete Dutton – not down to the seaside to drown – lets take his powers of discretion exercised for the common good. Pistol Pete holds his…
What is the job of a government? A democratic Australian government? Not much, it seems, other than indoctrination through intimidation, process disruption and the policing of morality and conscience. Oh, and collecting and hoarding moolah. Why is it that the King is going to use such ideology as an election manifesto? He’s said that nothing else matters, that these are the only true Aussie values – greed, coercion and fundamentalist purity (as long as its his). Outsourcing outcomes … They’ll…
The greatest specimen of Australian manhood since .. since, since well, Tony Abbott – King Shnot. He couldn’t be a better representative of the Liberal Party or a better showcase for Aussie Values. A true blue crusader. He’s a master of the dirty trick but should they be at our expense? He’s going to deliver you a surplus budget which is no surprise since he’s refused to spend any of it. And he’s learnt to fudge the process and bludge…
Its a hard thing to be caught in the middle of somebody elses lies. To effectively be used as a tool and therefore become – against your will and in spite of your declared wish – complicit in their deceit. How should you take this? Other than abandoning friendships years in the making there is very little one can do in this situation. This petty neo-liberal society wallows in petty deceits and in petty games … It’s like being at…
Billy Boy says that his Bunch have done a deal, come to an agreement, with all the King’s men, on our bwhalf, and sold a bit more of our privacy in the interest of a Merry Christmas for all. A deal? With the King? Lord help us. The kings obstruction of process .. and his paranoid ravings on fear, have won the day. Now he’s off on holidays with his kiddies. Wonder if theyre off to a quiet pacific resort…
You’d have to be blind deaf and dumb not to see where the King’s Party is trying to take Australia .. or rather where he’s trying to take his belief in Divine Right. Is this just a backlash against the inevitable political education of the youth of Australia, or do they really believe that this is beneficial for our country? They rail about ignorance, but the truth is that they continually treat us as fools. So now they want to…
