GetUp, Democracy & The King with No Clothes

GetUp, Democracy & The King with No Clothes

His Disgrace, our King, is really ramping up his neo-battle against democratic action. It always happens this way defend free speech by prosecuting it. As His Disgrace has said before, ‘his opinion is worth more than ours’ … he’s King. Typical fascist ideology. So what is it that the King says is so immoral or is it sinful about this organisation of kids interested in their futures? “Afraid of being challenged or held to account on having no policy on…

Don’t Call it What it Ain’t.

Don’t Call it What it Ain’t.

The most important things in Australia at the present time are to stop thinking that 51% is a majority that gives a government what they like to call a mandate to rule by ministerial discretion. By decree instead by law. “Oh you say they’re old & they aren’t laws – yes they have age and have stood the test of time as to law – well I don’t believe that man needs law. If he would heed his moral base…

He’d Rather be a Hammer but Should be Nailed!

He’d Rather be a Hammer but Should be Nailed!

Its seems to be the greatest fear in this modern neoliberal society – Questions. Once, it was not only considered to be a privilege to be asked a question but it was pretty much a necessity. How else does one get on and learn? in fact when I was young something was thought to be ‘not quite right’ with a youngster who didn’t ask questions. Teachers and parents used to goad one into asking questions. That’s not to say that…

An Open Letter to GetUp.

An Open Letter to GetUp.

An Open Letter to GetUp. Why write a letter like this? Because I’ve been asked to. I’m constantly bombarded by requests for cash donations from GetUp which in the current political climate full of fear, denial of basic rights, and moral bankruptcy is not within my means .. much as I wish it was. I’m concerned that GetUp itself, is becoming just another self-interested organisation chasing the fast buck. Another neoliberal excuse maker. I’ve supported GetUp through the last few…

The King & Izzy.

The King & Izzy.

I cannot see how I can write about this without bringing the issue of corruption into it. I cannot see a separation. So Izzy, Israel Folau, is being hammered, now, from all sides. I too would have a small bone to pick with Izzy, however that bone is nothing compared to the huge rotting carcass I’d have to pick with the King. Since the bone is smaller than the carcass, lets pick at it first. My problem with Izzy is…

Discretionary Criminality.

Discretionary Criminality.

Australia is being compelled to take people of ‘bad character’, so the Mimp for State Security and Deprivation of Conscience is raving to his clique again. Of course, the thing he’s attempting to muddle is medical treatment for our refugees .. remember them, those fellow humans we’ve imprisoned out there on an island that time, we are told, should forget. Now this bad character that ‘His Disgrace’ bandies about is a notion of criminality. What does he fear so much…

Buddy, I dont care if its my ex-girlfriend’s axalotel that’s given you permission, if you…

Do Your Duty. Or Else.

Do Your Duty. Or Else.

Im dumbfounded. Why is everyone suddenly so ‘shocked’ with the behaviour of the Kings men. You didn’t believe his lies, now did you? These men – these neoLibNats – are criminals, they corrupt our ideals and our children. They’ve told us, and showed us, time and time again that they have no respect for a democratic process and that they have no respect for the people of Australia. They’ve repeatedly declined to accept our definition of corruption. They intend to…

Democracy or Fascism; Future or No Future.

Democracy or Fascism; Future or No Future.

“But he who looks to the perfect law – the law of liberty – and perseveres, not just hearers who forget, but doers who act, shall be blessed in their doing” – (James 1:23,25) Well, they finally got it right. This election is about the future. Do we have one or not. The NeoLiberal Kings version – myopic, self centred and short. A future for him and his kids he says, a future of smog and smug and tailings, a…

No Collusion in Corruption.

No Collusion in Corruption.

Surely it would be cheaper, less admin costs, if the King was to give our dosh directly to his Corporate buddies rather than to a bunch of Aussies of the second or third class? Has this man no shame? Not only is he prepared to bribe us Aussies with good character, the very act of this bribery – should we accept it – taints our good character. As a collective mass we should say, “No King, don’t blacken us with…
