Well, they’re of on their hols – still getting paid of course – and they’ve left us a little Chrissy present. The privatisation of a few more of supposedly public services. Don’t they hate services that benefit the public! You’ve got to admit the King knows his subjects well. Announce another small infringement of democracy and scuttle off for a few months on the public payroll. We’ll have all forgotten about it by then – too busy enjoying ourselves and…
When to do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law … Depending of course, on just who thou art, or as was many times said, the law being an ass often has a King’s head stuck up its arse. So now we have the King informing the House that breaking the law, when appropriate, is in fact a duty; the constitutional law that says, ‘that a minister of the King may not meddle in the law’. Phew,…
Anti-Semitism the new Catholicism, typical fundamentalist claptrap, more smoke and mirrors. What’s this all about? What’s our King doing pretending to be an international leader when here back home he’s so determined to divide our country with his irresponsible ignorance and his ideological National Fascism? Huh? When I was young we had a name for Kings like this, we called them Trogs – I suppose that’s not PC today. Shame. Well, here in the Lucky Country we have to put…
They’re caught in bit of a spot here – the King’s Criminals, you could say that they’re electioneering with a quiver of poisoned arrows … They need to turn the screws on the social conscience of the free thinking and democratically inclined people of Australia. And, they need to do it fast and they need to get those of us entangled in the miasma of neoliberalism to cast our votes for the King’s version of Law, and those votes must…
Well may you say, we don’t care whether its Constitutional or not! Well, constitutional, unfortunately it is; what its not, is guaranteed nor fair to other Aussies. Yes yes, I hear the shrieks of “Fair! Fair! YOU haven’t been fair to US!” Yes, but that was in the past and while parliamentary deceit and its methods haven’t changed, by now they damned well should have … because the rest of us have! A sop. And what’s more, a worthless sop….
Just to think that it wasn’t so very long ago that we could drink unclean water, unconsecrated water more correctly. Its true that only 100 years ago that water, although perhaps unclean, wasn’t full of the contaminants of progress; our plastic, insecticides, herbicides, our cast off wire and flaking chrome, our coal dust and heavy metal tailings and our dead and dying. Back then we had no need to see water as a basic human right. Back then we only…
Censorship is a greater crime than the thing being censored can ever be deemed to be. And when the censorship is aimed at the public by a government that professes Democracy, and it is coerced upon the public broadcaster, then it is a transgression of the public’s right to know! Yes, its true, this is all dependent on the version of Democracy we profess. But I’m assuming that that version does not have a ‘k’ in it. “Those journalists who…
Awfully crowded in the right armpit of God these days, ain’t it any wonder our King sits on the left. Tough Tony’s party sure sounded like a hoot last night … Ah, to have been another blowfly on the wall. Reports are that Tough Tony’s thanked the King for ensuring, through the use of miracles, that his government goes down in history as the most progressive, and economical, the most procedurally thick bunch of bangers since Little Johnny waded in…
It’s funny, don’t you think, how a section of Society jumps noisily up and down about the protection afforded to them by Democracy and is silent on the protections Democracy is designed to afford individuality? Also how, Free Speech and Expression is only deigned okay if one happens to be a member of that part of Society. This, of course, is another diatribe on the principles of corruption, and as any of you brave or debauched enough to follow my…
So, another week passes in Dreamland, and as usual, we’ve had a couple of our representatives who’ve abused the right of Parliamentary privilege and then offered a hollow apology for the abuse … Shameful. What they’re supposed to do – were this a Democracy – is apologize to the people of Australia for their petty corruptions of Democracy, not to other members of the Holy House who, let’s face it, are laughing into each others laps at our expense again….
