When a government threatens a people, whether it be with lies or big stick physical therapy .. then the people have every right in the world to defend themselves from that government. Tis true, that the Corporations have this same right too – but then they’re part of the system and can afford to fight both the people and the government, they dont have to fight very hard as the government fights their battles for them. An election is where…
How we can distil the will of a whole country into the pettiness of one man and say ‘ it’s ours’ .. Or rather, let that one man say, ‘it’s yours!’? Australia says ‘He does!’. Fiji says, ‘He doesn’t’. So, our Kings off with a bag of our cash to ensure .. or perhaps to convince Fiji that ‘he does!’. Don’t we have those new Jet Fighters yet? Surely we can put more pressure on a small Pacific Island like…
Mistaking Nazism for Fascism or more correctly hiding Fascism under the decorations of Nazism. When all things old are new again. All this cry about the terrors of Nazism – and its significant that certain politicians haven’t bothered to buy into the condemnation of the recent face-off down at St Kilda … Its how it always starts. Its a testing of the waters. Perhaps thats why here in Australia it always tries its traction down at the Beach. Cronulla, St…
I don’t think that I share a single value with the King or any of his Merry Men. In fact I’d be damned ashamed of myself as an Australian if I did. Of course we don’t actually know what these values, these fair dinkum Aussie values, the King and his buffoons hold and on which they judge other Australians to be unfit to be Australians actually are. On the surface of it you’d have to think that just being a…
Do we know what is our community? This is the crux of the question of just who can represent us in a Parliamentary system. We should assume this Parliament operates on democratic principles and when we can’t assume that, then we, us, the community members, must ensure that it does. I have written and debated within myself from one end to the other of this now flat Earth on this single subject – integral representation. The quality of the debating…
Don’t we wish. The problem here is that we haven’t been able to get the kids on board to the actual greening. It only takes a short walk through a camping ground to see that whatever it is the Greens have been doing since the days of old Bob Brown .. education through action isn’t one of them. Infighting and coercion through Political Correctness seems to be the main policy of the Modern Green – party politically, that is. It’s…
I must have a fair go, and lest I be accused of not giving a fair go to all, and just in case my political bias is too obscured by my humanity, my belief in democracy, equity and equality and of course, my rabid Republicanism .. I must give a fairer go to the King and his Dragoons and to the Greening of Australia, and I must expose, therefore, these others who would rule on our behalf this lucky country…
Here we are again, into another year of this wonderful 21st Century. In Australia were going to be crowning another King – lord god almighty let’s hope its not the same one .. or at least let’s pray that its not another one from the same clique as our last three Kings have come from. Let’s bring back some integrity into our rulers. Lets make them answerable to us … Hell, let’s make Australia a democracy, let’s make it a…
Ours .. aint it? I mean this dosh the neoLibs – the poor Nats just dont get a look in these days eh – are going to jump up and down about saving the country .. its actually our money, taken from us in order to provide the things we need on a collective basis. You know, from those according to their means, to those according to their needs. Is that the ideal? This ‘budget surplus’. How do we get…
Now forgive me for being such a dumb cunt, but why are all of our refugees up on Manus & Nauru criminals? Now we have Air Vice-Marshal Osbourne telling us that these poor people and their children are criminals. Me, being an Aussie, a not so proud anymore Aussie, would just like to know what it is that our refugees have been convicted of? When I was a proud Aussie I prided myself on being up with the news of…
