They make everything expensive these days don’t they .. I mean old age and sickness, give us a little bit more here and a lttle bit more there and we can make everything wonderful for you. Cash equals life, eh, the quality of life anyway.

I’ve just told my little sister that we should all be shot at 30. A couple hours of reflection though and I’m modifying my point .. I’d say 50. If you’ve had kids they should be old enough to look after themselves by then and if we had a proper operating government, they would be able to. Its life held to ransom now, with this system. They’re gonna take all your remaining cash and use it all up while telling themselves they’re giving you a better life .. for your own good. Keep you off those slippery slopes.

There are no guarantees in old age no matter a kings promise, let alone a guarantee of any quality. What fool who started work at 17 believes that its okay for him to work, slave away until he’s 75 .. for the good of a country ruled by Kings? 75? What’s that guaranteed by? Does it guarantee a dignified death?

And now, the King has had the temerity to attempt to bribe part of the population with a handful of small change – to buy votes. God knows where he got all that cash from, all we’ve heard from the fool over the past couple of years is that were so poor that we have to choose between a future for a few of our spoilt little children or a dignified end for all those who worked so hard all their lives for an inclusive democratic Australia in which the spoilt little children have been allowed to run free.

I don’t think it’ll work .. the bribe, that is. Its corrupt for a start, not by Christ Porter’s definition sure, but corrupt none the less. The King says this is the way it is, the way it works – dribble down. (I do wish he’d stop spitting on us while he dribbles though.) So a bribe of a buck forty-five a week? Billy Boy, I wouldn’t worry about us Aussies with true values falling for a King’s ransom of a buck forty-five – true, true it is per week, so it will add up to a hefty sum – especially as he says its in order to pay his buddies in the Grand Corporate Collusion who for some reason or another can’t manage to pay their taxes, their dues. This is it, says the King, dribble down at its best. NeoLiberal charity. Gonna make us all rich, may even allow those older folks who’ve had to watch 5 years of creeping Fascism destroy their dreams for a future die in dignity and peace .. and perhaps a little added warmth.

Of course dignity and peace are the last thing the King and his band of Merry Men have in mind for the social conscience of Australia and the last thing his divisive machinations, liberal corruption and Divine Right deceit will deliver up to us … And our kids.

So what else is new? The Namoi’s pumping at Gunnedah and gone by Narrabri – lots of salt farms between – and of course, the water is still too damned hot at Burren Junction.
