The King’s Opinion & his Free Speech is Different from Ours. The king says, well whatever he says it’s more important and more knowledgeable than what anyone else says. “I am your King. I am Judge of what is best for me. I will go my own way. I desire your assistance in it.” – James 1 The kings minister’s dont read reports, dont respond to surveys, dont believe experts, other than those they appoint and pay with our money,…
The process is the issue – the ends do not justify the means. This government, these neoLibNats, show absolute contempt for democratic process. “Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we…
Just as I was resting up for the rest of Mental Health Week, the King endorses Corporate Advertising on OUR Opera House – this is outrageous! Outrageous – the whole worlds for sale (by those who don’t own it!) & we can’t even look after our refugees, the mentally ill, the old and the sick. Outrageous! We can’t give our children an equitable & equal education – Outrageous! What’s this event he’s trying to sell us? One of the biggest…
King Shnotty says he can guarantee a population explosion in Tasmania. Not only that but it won’t be necessary to go through parliament, he’s a neoLib, he’ll decree it. Like all the rest of his guarantees we can be “assured that its the best deal they’re ever gonna get!”. The kings prayers be with us. Says he’s, going to force any new humanitarian refugees, au pairs or for that matter, economic refugees to transport themselves down there. Well, its been…
Once upon a time I wasn’t the type of person who got ripped off … It wasn’t possible I’m too proactive, always a jump ahead of the game. Or so I’ve been in my past lives. Now, everyone wants to rip me off. It’s a condition of Neo-liberalism of course, something to be proud of it seems, something to boast about to your mates. Once the vendor of their swollen goods finds out that I have a condition – an…
Want to get a few things down before Suicide Radio becomes seriously suicidal a little later. Last night we had Patti K discussing Viagra, breast pumps and tampons. All excited she is when she gets a chance to be a fearless honest journalist and push her rabid right wing Feminism on any man that can’t see a problem with being .. well, a man. She has only daughters – daughters of freedom. Of all people she could do with a…
Mate we don’t recommend you go off the main road. Well, four years ago you gave away maps with just that recommendation. I think it was called nature tourism .. and it’s not exactly like I dont look like I don’t know what I’m doing out there, in our nature, now does it? It’s closed now, he says, we dont maintain it anymore. Well you never did anyway. Forestry did. It’s dangerous it’s not safe, it’s for the public good…
“For me there is only the travelling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel – looking, looking breathlessly.” – Castenada’s Don Juan. Unemployment, sickness & homelessness as a lifestyle choice .. it’s an interesting NeoLiberal concept – dont you think? A lot like saying that old age is a lifestyle choice… I think it’s…
What do you do when you find a law that’s on your side? You exploit it! A wobbly old fella reeled into the Narrabri Info Shack on Sunday morning, he’d been expelled from the Wee Waa Showground – apparently because the kids needed it for their kids little Pony Club and sick wobbly old single men are considered to be a danger to the kids these days. I was waiting to see if I could exchange an old book for…
One of the consequences of getting in early and picking a nice secluded spot away from the noise and bustle in the world of free camping is no matter how hard you try not to, you must share. And no matter how small and secluded and away from the the moving city your spot is, if the moving city likes the look of your spot then the moving city is coming over to join you. It’s an exercise in sharing….
