Just another derelict wailing across the bounds of humanity. An Extra looking for answers for the crimes of the past from the crims of the future. Ex-surfer, ex-climber, ex-worker, ex-warrior. Philosopher, fool, anarchist with a social conscience. A democrat no longer. A questioner in search of a reasonable answer. b. 1963 d.
A Crusader King

A Crusader King

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…

Caught in The Middle with Who?

Caught in The Middle with Who?

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…

But Will They?

But Will They?

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…

Slip Slidin’ Away

Slip Slidin’ Away

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…

Some Sunny Day

Some Sunny Day

“Be doers of the word, not just hearers that deceive themselves” (James 1:22, Matt 7:24) How do you effect change when you need help to do it but so many of the people who you need the help from say they are not prepared to help until the change is effected? Australian schoolchildren took the first step this past week, they decided to opt in even though they were told that they weren’t allowed to. That’s called rebellion. And rebellion…

Activate – Democracy!

Activate – Democracy!

What a week we’ve had … Finally. It seems that this week Australia woke up and remembered that though we’re not a democracy, we keep getting told that we are a Democracy. Not since the 1960s,70s and 80s have we witnessed democracy in action. And who’d a thought, the children of the 2020s! After the past few decades of pathetic pandering to self interest of their Mums and Dads .. the kids, at last, broke through the cotton wool barrier….

Porter’s Principles

Porter’s Principles

Our chief law interpreter, our referee in legalese, Christ Porter, shows he’s more than prepared to corrupt both what he calls law, and the principles that it is supposedly built upon. Yes, he’s a lawyer, and yes, as we all know, law is a grand game .. to be played to win, a dance upon the primrose path. This is the major problem with so called modern society, neoliberal society, the game itself has no rules. The winners make the…

Love is An Old Wet Dog

Love is An Old Wet Dog

For eight months of the year I dont see rain and for much of that time I dont get to hear all the wonderful things that are happening in our world. It’s true, for some this would be ranked as a Utopian garden, but I dont even get fake news, although much of what I do get it would be preferred if I felt it was fake .. if I could be content for it to be fake. I do…

Can Kickin’ and Chain Dragging.

Can Kickin’ and Chain Dragging.

A Bill of Rights must stand above any future constitution and must be the guide to a new Australian Constitution. If we have to work within the framework of this old Royalist Constitution with all its enshrined inequalities and inequities and its protection of the minority called government then we will continually find ourselves battling against the odds. A Bill of Rights is a moral document and laws are made from it – not the other way around. Noel Pearson,…

Ideological Renewal

Ideological Renewal

Australia New Century started this day, Monday 26th Nov. 2018 Wow, what a day .. you’d think a day after you’d reversed over yourself in your own driveway, you’d keep away from the mail box. Eh? Got to give him a point, he’s ‘aving a go! They think were so fuckin stupid .. dont they? Why should we expect less? Just another expensive day of chain dragging deceit in the good old Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. While the…
