Here is Disgrace, Waiting for Disgust.

“Any conduct that is inconsistent with Australian values” ? etc etc etc? … Those who choose to become Australian citizens are making a solemn commitment to our democracy (?), to our way of life (?). And that commitment, made by five million people over the past 70 years has helped secure and enrich our nation. … we make no apologies for ensuring only those who meet our security and character …” (?) The words of the Buffoon for Cititizenship. The…

Family Matters .. ?

Family Matters .. ?

“This is where I think in a real national family, the government puts their arm around them, the community puts their arm around them, and carries them through the rest of their life.” – Paul Keating. Well, I’m an unabashed fan of old Paul … Here I take it, he’s talking about using the super-annuation of us that die before we get to use it, on those who hang about to the bitter end. What does happen to the super-annuation…

Welfare as Warfare

Welfare as Warfare

King Shnotty says he can guarantee a population explosion in Tasmania. Not only that but it won’t be necessary to go through parliament, he’s a neoLib, he’ll decree it. Like all the rest of his guarantees we can be “assured that its the best deal they’re ever gonna get!”. The kings prayers be with us. Says he’s, going to force any new humanitarian refugees, au pairs or for that matter, economic refugees to transport themselves down there. Well, its been…

Trust

Trust

Trust me! A new directive from Obfuscotty. Says, No Questions on anything that the public ‘thinks’ they need to know. Thinking you need to know and actually needing to know are not the same .. trust me, he says! Trust me, I’m in charge now, Pistol Pete’s an angel & no one has ever said the neoLibs were a democratic party .. trust me. He appears to believe we should trust him. Why? I havent looked, has he signed the…

Let them eat Carrots.

Let them eat Carrots.

Scotty, I hear, is close to God. Which is excellent for Australia! He’s helping us ” to work longer … If that’s what they (we) choose to do!” He’s close to God. He’s generously offered not to ‘increase’ the obligatory term of a life’s work. But, he’s giving all the old sick and injured Australians carrots to peel – make it look like they’re doing something important, for the boys back at the club. S’pose he’d better get on with…

 “You did what? What! .. hang on .. you did what, dug a hole and put the cat in it? In the hole ..our cat? You burried the cat?. “It was dead dad ..”. Here you wonder where to go?

Pistol Pete’s Prerogatives

Pistol Pete’s Prerogatives

“Is it decent, can it be just that these prerogatives should be exercised by any power less than the supreme or be decided by any authority but that which most adequately represents the voice of a nation? This principle ought, beyond question, to be extended universally. There can be no just reason for excluding the national representative from the exercise of any function, the exercise of which, on the part of the society, is in any case necessary. The functions…

Ahh, look at the little puppy .. soak it up.

Ahh, look at the little puppy .. soak it up.

So, we’re going to see a softening of Pistol Pete, this should be a wonderfully Australian experience. There was a time when we knew pretty well just how to soften fellas like Pete – with a club, a cat. His buddy Christ Porter of the ‘cash cow’ Welfare System weilds a stick he calls dignity … A big fat stick he flogs dead horses with .. can we now expect to see Pete walking the streets in flagellation with the…

Blind to lead the Blind

Blind to lead the Blind

So, its official, the neo-lib New Guard believe the Dickhead from Dickson is going to lead the good Aussie kids into the future. Not my kids he ain’t! It’ll be over my dead body and I’d hope there will be many more who feel the same way. How a man such as this can possibly be touted as a ‘leader of the future’ – of Australia! – is incomprehensible. It just shows how much disrespect this current band of draconian…

Complacency – the Australian Way of Life?

Complacency – the Australian Way of Life?

Its been said that our politicians are both ‘ignorant and ill-educated’. On this,  I’d like to say that Ive had a fair bit of experience with Australian politicians over the past 40 yrs. Being a child of the 20th Century Ive lived through the governments of Whitlam, Frazer, Hawke, Keating, Howard, Rudd, Gillard, Abbot and now Turnbull – most definitely they appear to becoming more deficient in education and more outwardly ignorant year by year. Meanwhile we youth of the…
