The Crimes of John Setka.

The Crimes of John Setka.

Well, Madam got her way. Just shows that in the current version of Australian Authoritarian Populist Demockracy holding your breath works. Is it any wonder the kids don’t believe in Democracy. “Reputation is one thing; character another.” – John Clifford. Don Albanese’s had him expelled from the Labor Party. For what? Surely not for holding a dissenting opinion or for making a foolish comment. Like Neil Prakash we don’t get to hear what his true crimes are accusation is enough…

A Renewed Push.

A Renewed Push.

The media are up in defence of their Rights of Free Speech again. I suppose its good to see a united front in something, though beats me how they can mobilise so much support, or at least seek to, but not do the same thing for the Rights of the individual – who support them – when it comes to the same Right. What bothers me here – and I support without any reservation this most basic right – is…

Taking the Club By the Teeth.

Taking the Club By the Teeth.

Now she’s got it! Young Greta’s tweaked to the only way to protest for progress. You go to gaol for your beliefs. This is a sad fact but its actually whats gotta happen. You’ve got to challenge bad laws and you’ve got to stand face to face with Fascism. You’ve gotta push back. Here in the lucky Country are we prepared to do it? Is GetUp – who let’s face it are really the only organisation who are able to…

Our King, Trump-Lite?

Our King, Trump-Lite?

C’mon man this King of ours ain’t no Trump-lite. Trumps ‘Mister Honest Don’ compared to our Shnotty. If our King was King of the US of A, that place would be in full rebellion by now. They’ve got a Constitution to protect and a Bill of Rights with which to protect it!. If our King was their King he’d a bin shot not merely impeached. They’re not allowed to mix religion with politics and Our Don certainly isn’t shoving his…

The Antipodes, or, Reformation with the Heeles Upward*

The Antipodes, or, Reformation with the Heeles Upward*

The King’s government’s finally going to get rid of the expense of deciding just who is and who can or can’t be an Australian. ‘Bout time too, it was never any of their business anyway. I do so hope Pistol Pete and Mousy Coleman are going to retain their oversight of it all though, waste of time if they don’t? Perhaps they’re going to be appointed envoys to National Socialisation- there’s a shit load of dosh in envoying – just…

Tub-Preachers Overturn’d.

Tub-Preachers Overturn’d.

Just so much corruption. I mean, so much overt corruption. They corrupt the English language, they corrupt not only democratic process but parliamentary process and they corrupt the contract they have with us … And all anyone out here in the backblocks seems to do is to talk … chatter. We’ve got our King’s lawyer – who 11 months ago was desperately attempting to get his head around our definition of his corruption (Remember? Back then, it was the most…

Funneling Us All into Bright Light.

Funneling Us All into Bright Light.

Can’t possibly imagine what its like to see Old Joh Mumbles turned into a hero of the Lost Tribes. To see the the ‘Party of the People’ praying away at the shrines of the neoLibNats. To see those little gnomes suddenly gushing out of their darkened homes. “Nothing is to be gained by submission to base oppressors; they flatter, and fawn, and coax, like crocodiles, for no other purpose, than to allure their victims to a more certain destruction.” –…

Spanking The Donkey. Yeah!

Spanking The Donkey. Yeah!

Been a few dull days out here in God’s Country .. a few. So, well, you know, you fall back to the good old ABC .. see how the rest of the world’s comin’ along. A fella just texted in, they’ve been yapping about the morality of R.I ( I missed the start so I’ve no idea what this is and I’m loath to make a guess) Anyway this fella says, “… if they’re on welfare then they have no…

A Few Wild Swings.

A Few Wild Swings.

Not to be seen nor wished to be heard? With reference to a well writ article – in another tome of Social Conscience – Independent Australia – on the King’s wisdom with regard to limitless futures and his bent take on science and technology, dribble-down and progress. And bringing in the inevitable relation of said bents on the health of his proud and brave nation. … And his Ministers Fighting Fund for Ignorant Personal Interests – the NDIS and its…

As Hapless as if the Sky had Hit the Earth.

As Hapless as if the Sky had Hit the Earth.

Ive been thinking about the King’s glorious embrace of Willing Don and I can’t help wondering, just what it is of ours that he’s been giving away. I wouldn’t have thought that Our Don’s great State would have much to offer us in Oz these days … Nuclear Missile Bases perhaps, I s’pose they’d be handy to keep the Chinese, the Indonesians and the Kiwi’s at bay – though I can’t imagine that that would be a good enough deal…
