“He would like to come & argue it out. Fuck that! I’m a monomaniac. Me no argue.” – Henry Miller. Here we go again. These men our king’s about to parade around in condemnation were sent there by the King to do a job. The job being to kill other men. The fact that we should never have had anything to do with policing in a far off land, I s’pose, will somehow slide but that’s the criminal act. We…
Once again we see the deceit and the moral corruption of those men who would be our kings – our representatives secure under the constitution of parliament. Those men (and yes dear ladies, you too) who have found a way to ‘get themselves elected’ in the immortal words of his Mendaciousness, Pistol Pete Dutton. Once again we have the king’s men tripping about among the primroses in an attempt to define corruption. Would that we could be subjected to their…
An Integrity Commission or perhaps a definition of corruption from the Kings Lawyer? Not bloody likely. Integrity, King, is what you get when we believe that we can trust you – or even if you just tell the truth. And corruption, Mr Porter, is all the things that you do. The obfuscations, the anti democratic processes, the inhumanity you urge us to show to our fellow man in order that OUR children can have a respectable future. The discretion permitted…
“When no limit to political authority is acknowledged, the people’s leaders, in a popular government, are not defenders of freedom, but aspiring tyrants.” – Jean Jacques Rousseau. Lets give her a credit. She says she just couldn’t vote for the Govs neoliberalisation of Education. Said, no matter what, she has to support equal opportunity education. She’s urged us also to lay off Sharkey, she’s had to put up with a whole lot of thuggery from the neoLibNats in the Holy…
Alan ‘the Tick’ Tudge has dismissed judicial commentary on his abuse of Human Rights as mere twaddle. He says the judge was only giving his opinion and that his opinion is wrong. “No man has a right to pry into his neighbours private concerns and the opinions of every man are his private concerns … But when he makes those opinions public … when he once comes forward as a candidate for public admiration, esteem or compassion, his opinions, his…
Well, only another week for us all to enjoy living like the king. I s’pose we can expect to be bombarded with all these sob stories; our starving refugees and captive backpackers; those millions who’ve been finding out how those of us who are criminally unemployed, sick, injured or just plain old old, survive on a king’s kid’s pocket money. Millions, suddenly going to be relieved of their social burden and thrown back into proper pay at their old jobs…
After all, he said, being bored is better than being dead. Well, thought I, this chap has some information that I don’t have. This warrants some research. Of course, weren’t no use in questioning the fella further … I mean, who can truly read the wisdom in a set of raised eyes? Perhaps its the wave of the hand? He was very sure of himself. He repeated it twice, and both times to a different question. Is this electioneering on…
On the safe reopening of our Demockratic Parliament. Funny how when we age we wallow in the comforts of things we protested about when we were young. The rape and pillage of the Earth, the racism, the deflections, the corruption of democratic process, we were once so determined we would not allow to happen again – at least on our watch – become a fluffy blanket in which to insulate our final years. God damn the submarines! Plough on, plough…
A brief interview with Foul Tudge – Architect of the Robo-debt scheme and current holder of the musical chair for Immigration*, from his view of the world atop the king’s Parliament House. “7 million! You didn’t!”, said I. “We did. I mean, you did, you gave $7 million to the Red Cross.” “7 million! Well that makes me feel better. At least we, I mean you, can sleep easy knowing that all those humans stranded here in the Lucky Country…
“She tore their boats to splinters, but she gave them dreams to dream.” GetUp Team Democracy … Seriously. Well, we’ve talked before regarding democratic process, but, all this work, and the money that GetUp spends on advocacy, is wasted – just thrown away. I sign all the petitions and bombard all my friends and family with the campaign materiel – true, I’ve only donated once, an unfortunate factor of being a Newstarter (call it what you will) and this government’s…
