The King’s government’s finally going to get rid of the expense of deciding just who is and who can or can’t be an Australian. ‘Bout time too, it was never any of their business anyway. I do so hope Pistol Pete and Mousy Coleman are going to retain their oversight of it all though, waste of time if they don’t? Perhaps they’re going to be appointed envoys to National Socialisation- there’s a shit load of dosh in envoying – just ask Tough Tony and Barney the Dunce .. and one doesn’t have to account for the dosh either under the King. Though whacking it all into a computer with a fancy algorithm, like Newstart has been, and letting the machine run its course is probably the way of the future.

It’s “not privatising visa decision making,” were told by some anonymous insider. “The Department of Home Affairs is conducting a tender process for a new workflow tool,” the government sponsored spokesperson said. “[But] the Government will always remain responsible and accountable … for all decision making – We will determine visa rules and how decisions are made,” regardless of whether it in the interests of the country or not. We’ve got the checkbook, and just like the NDIS, we’ll penalise any one who doesn’t conform to our way of thinking be they Corporatives or individuals. More likely to be only individuals …

“… history is nothing but a continuous desperate attempt to vomit. For this sort of human being there is only one remedy: the Inquisition.” – Pius XII.

Down in King Country, NSW, Too Busy Gladys, I hear, has dismissed the recommendations of a scientific report she used our cash to pay for. She’s denied the findings of the latest report on the efficacy of drug testing at music festivals. Not, because she hasn’t bothered to read it but, like the king himself, because its a scientific report and because, of course, God – who makes death happen only because HE allows it to, and only to sinners anyway, hasn’t given her permission to read it. Something tells me Gladys and Anna P are getting quite thick, eh?

Speaking of; Anna P’s decided that the Right of Free Assembly will now be a crime up in God’s Country. No more picnics in parks, at the beach. No more sitting about the tables in Public Libraries discussing the news of the world, kids homework or revolution. No more gatherings at the nets to chuck around a nurf ball or getting together in a group and walking the muzzled dogs. Whats going to happen to those fun runs through the Emerald Botanical Gardens – I’ll bet there’s a fair bit of dissenting chatter going on amongst that mob. Of course, she says this is aimed at those who wish to organise protests only, and not at the good people who are too scared to, but, hell, what’s she intending by this?

What are the cops going to do? Insinuate themselves into family BBQs down in the river bank or the base of cliffs, join in at the nets, paddle out the back at Burleigh with their secreted listening devices … (Back in the 1970s quite a lot of planning used to take place out the back or in the nets.) Sure, back then we were only organising to stop sewage outfalls or designated flag areas at out local beaches, but they all turned into protests and all achieved something progressive. But hey, that was another time … Now, up here in Anna P’s Labor stronghold of good old Qld we’re going to have to all gather around the Artesian Bores in our own private places of interest. Such a shame. So draconian, so damned dangerous! I expect the cops will begin tear gasing little unapproved gatherings soon. That should keep the peace.

You know this is precisely how civil wars start. We’ll be limiting any outdoor activity to no more than, what? – 3, 2, 1 people? Where are the kids going to organise their Climate Action Strikes? Only in private schools, only on Fake-Book (well, I suppose Pistols Pete’s sorting that one out). I’m reckoning that it won’t be too long before Fake-Book becomes a branch of government – if it isn’t already – the Department for Advertising the Bureau of State Secrecy …

So now, all the public places are closed to the public in the interest of what? The public – our safety? State Security? Gee, and I only thought they’d stopped teaching unpleasant history at schools this millenia, because this millenia, this century, these nasty things just can’t happen anymore.

Good to see Labor’s leading the way in the fight against Fascism .. the storm troopers of the King’s Divine Right. I wonder, is this why organisations like GetUp never send out mass petitions about the corruption of democracy or the corrupt Constitution or any thing other than their own Right to Free Speech? There’s gotta be a better way.

I wonder too, what’s happening in Hong Kong at the moment … seems to have slipped of the news, as no doubt our murder of the Kurds shortly will, and our poisoning of the free world with our unlimited resources will too – all for the love of man.

The right to oppose a corrupt parliament exists “by the same rule of right reason, and law of equity, as the soldiers of an army may oppose the general when he turns the mouth of his cannon upon them.” – William Walwyn.
