A funny thing happened on the way to my church yesterday. Im an evening church attender .. the darkness that surrounds me matches the message better. Also, of course, there’s not much point going to the Palace of Kings until you’re well and truly in the mood. And 8 hours of Rugby League Advertising sure does put you there. So listening still to Old Suicide .. this young lady came on the air to talk about respect. She had an…
Ever spent 61/2 hours sitting on a wooden bench waiting for a question to be answered, staring at glossy posters telling you about Respect, Duty of Care, Bullying and having Courageous Conversations? Well not really waiting for an answer, no fool would do that. No, waiting for a letter to be copied. I’d received my answer .. No! But, someone was apparently ‘seeing what they could do’. Of course someone would have actually needed to take the letter and copy…
Its about balancing quality and quantity … Life. Here I’m talking about something said to me about a little old lady in palliative care – my mother. My mother’s 82 and yes, I suppose at that stage, life may be about the balancing of quality with quantity. But what if one is say, 55 years old? Is it as easy to balance quality with quantity? Who says just what is the quantity that must be balanced with quality? Who is…
Sunday morning always seems to be the darkest day of the week regardless of the weather. You’ve spent all Saturday trying to avoid, or rather do away with, the disgrace of the week before .. and they give you a Sunday. All the good people dressing up in their finest to head off to church to listen to the emptiness of false hope in order to have the fortitude to beam with self deceit for another week in living hell….
Well, we’re off and running. Fairs fair. I see we’ve voted the Priest-king a bit of a fillip to his woefully empty pot of gold. We’ve got to get him to stop spending so much on his welfare. 10,000 buckaroos .. tax deductible, of course. I suppose its only fair. 10,000 shmackers. Thats the equivalent of being assigned a disenfranchised characterless ex-Aussie to wash his and his kids feet everyday while he dribbles on them. Well, as his Moron for…
There can be no better person to represent the face of the new Australia than Pistol Pete Dutton. He’s an utter disgrace to humanity, an ex cop with the moral corruption of a petty king. As I said, no better representative of the arresting reputation of the Lucky Country. What on earth is Australia’s minion of State Security doing running about in foreign lands in an attempt to sell his image of the future’s beautiful people? Shouldn’t he back back…
$307 000 per year, every year, for the rest of his long long life .. Tax Free. Tough Tony! For the rest of his life … They call it an ‘allowance’ – got-a-laugh, do you not! So now, the other night I was confidently told, that the criminals on Newstart numbered ‘less that 1% of 1%’ of the drain on the future that is the ‘unemployed’. Fuck! You know, I’d be giving that little group of criminals just one single…
I suppose that by now you’d have to think he believes the rubbish he spews forth. Its that old British Empire mentality that if you shout louder at the idiots .. then they will understand what it is you are lying to them about. My grandfather had it, if you were black, brown or yellow you just had to be shouted at, louder. The real problem with this King, is with his god. Everything the King says about his god…
You know, if our economy depends on coal mining .. and we are told it does, if our future depends on cotton farming, as example, I know it sounds like I’m pickin’ on cotton but I’m not, if our economy depends on sucking water out of our only major river system to grow crops not suited to our land and that no one needs – yes, no one needs – at our shared environments expense. (I’m sure there is enough…
I suppose you can’t really blame Billy Boy for not wanting to coalesce with the City Greens*, apart from the fact that if our election was held on strictly democratic lines i.e. no vote trading, his Party would always have the numbers, coalitions with untrustworthy political friends always seem to degenerate into governments of untrustworthy self-interested representatives; into a clash of lies and one upmanship .. or woman-ship, as the case may be. We only have to look at the…
