Do you think that by sending all our refugee children back to imprisonment on our Pacific Island for Christmas is meant to send a message to ‘people smugglers’ ? Just an off hand question Patti K asked on her Suicide Radio programme last night. Didn’t really get an answer. I mean, there were a couple of deep sighs .. though that could have been the wind too. I like Mr Peters take on this ‘letting the kings god look after…
Such a wonderful World, such a lucky country … I see the Kings decided that its okay for his charity to feed all those hungry Aussies his ministers decrees have thrown out onto the streets with no recourse to .. well, government aid. Shame he couldnt get away with his neoliberal bidding process on a thing like poverty, as he appears to have done with Human Rights and Dignity. What’s gone wrong? Surely the recent massive overreaction to State Security…
II’v just been having an interesting discussion with an old fella I once met mowing his camp spot up near Moree … He says the reason us youngsters believe all this Climate Change bullshit (here I think he means- Human Enhanced Climate Change) is because we fuck around with the time all the time. It started of with whether the sun was shining through the hole in the Cenotaph down in Victoria at the 11th hour this morning. I said,…
He’s a mega tosser ain’t he, Our King? Up there in his Big Blue Bus munching on carp, spreadin’ the news .. given us what we want. He’s a listening, he’s a hearing and he’s a doin – gawd help us! What a look. One right tosser. No wonder the backpackers love im .. an icon, our elected King. King of the Regions. One right tosser. Hope he takes that bus through Dickson .. Pistol Pete can whack a few…
I would’ve though it would be ok to be any colour at all .. and that it would be ok not to be ashamed of it … This representative of a community in this once proud, free and inclusive country of ours appears not to believe that that is the case. I suppose she at least stands up for her right to express her opinions. Does that right not extend to all of us? Senator Hanson-Young said the person responsible…
Isn’t it absurd that a debate can be decided like a flower show, with a show of hands. This is effectively how our so called democratic parliament works. Things, ideas, concepts .. dare I say laws .. issues of the utmost importance to the common mass of the people within our society are decided by a small group of people – who in most cases have no more knowledge of the issues than the common man in the street and…
They are hiding in our truth. Their acts so obscene and sinister that we can’t believe it’s real, what they are doing. This blinds our truth. Think of the line “I could never believe that”. The thing is it seems that we can’t. There’s a joke there. In that “space”. Laughing at us, “they will believe what we feed them”. Television, constructed news, advertising. We block them from our view because they are monsters. Does anyone think it strange that…
Seems the solution to any form of Climate Change – helped along by humanity or not – and subsequent ‘people movement’ is in legislation. Well, it’s worked before … More law. Pity we cant eat laws, we must have banks and banks of old overlapping decaying meaningless laws stored away in silos by now. How long have we been conjuring up laws, man made artificial laws? Let’s give it .. oh, say 15000 years – sure, perhaps God only gave…
“Any conduct that is inconsistent with Australian values” ? etc etc etc? … Those who choose to become Australian citizens are making a solemn commitment to our democracy (?), to our way of life (?). And that commitment, made by five million people over the past 70 years has helped secure and enrich our nation. … we make no apologies for ensuring only those who meet our security and character …” (?) The words of the Buffoon for Cititizenship. The…
Australian Values? What are Australian Values? Who judges? Are they Peter Dutton’s or Julia Gillard’s values? Are these values Christian Porter’s or Caroline Chisholm’s? Are they Ned Kelly’s or those that threw up the stockade at Eureka’s values? Are they the values of Scott Morrison or the values of Stan Grant? Are they Fred Hollow’s or the values of those thrown ashore at Gallipoli’s? Who judges? Are they the values of John Howard or the values of Gough Whitlam? Who…
