He talks about freedoms but not rights and he says that we deserve an early mark (which of course is his to give) … Though, we don’t actually get the early mark we deserve unless, unless we download his tracking app! His National Board says we must do this. His National Board, my lord. Have we corporatized our demockracy already? And, he talks of a magical thing called a commonwealth which it is unlikely that a man such as our…
“Public opinion can never exist as a power in the state, unless there exist also persons who expose to hatred and contempt those ministers and those laws which they conceive to be detrimental to the interests of the community.” – ‘Yellow Dwarf, 1818.’ Not so easy in the Lucky Country at present is it? Everyone locked down debating the merits of fascism (or as the King prefers, demockracy), afraid to go out to see their friends, their cohorts. Your ABC…
Governments don’t give ultimatums to the people, its the other way around. “In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better that a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides.” – Heinrich Heine. No matter how powerful a government believes itself to be, if we say we are a Democracy…
Well here we are. All the good souls, us beautiful people, awaking on another sunny day on the east coast of the land of Nod. The news today – so my wet dog says – is, Special powers. Ha! Special powers from whom? Where? We have a suspended parliament where do ‘special powers’ come from? Show us the docs, the minutes .. who ran this through who? Was there any dissent? By whom? Was it allowed? I don’t believe it…
All this lockdown rubbish is fine, I s’pose. Lets face it it’s all about common sense. The world’s had plagues and diseases before and this is nothing different. Nothing different. We die. So what? Ah yes, YOU don’t want to die … But, that’s tough shit, tough titties … even fascist god-bods die. Lockdown. What joy, what bliss this must engender within the King’s secret cabinets. A ‘virus’ – a gift from god – to accelerate the job of locking…
How interesting it is that all these ideals of social justice and responsibility have suddenly come together as saviours of the neoliberal nightmare. Socialism, and a steady and open moral compass, to the rescue of gross theft, negligence and the petty protectionism of our societal elite. My, my, who’d a ever thought! Dirty Dutton must be rolling in his au pairs … Poor soul. Of course, deeply at the heart of the matter, this neo profession of social conscience by…
Furphy Tayor’s been cleared! Thats right, Pistol Pete’s cops say there’s no point in investigating just where he got the forged docs from, or in fact, even bothering to find out if there may be some dirty little squad of parliamentary secretaries, lying lefties or, perhaps, even a king’s butler or two, shimmying about and falsifying public information. This must be a welcome relief for Furphy … rather tiresome having to keep one’s hands up above the table for all…
“If I must not trust the conclusions of reason relative to the intrinsic value of things, why trust to your reasons in favour of the benefit of being deceived? If I must reject the dictates of reason in one point, there can be no possible cause why I should adopt them in another.” – William Godwin. They didn’t sign up for any code of conduct standard, Mr Bowen. They’re the King’s ministers and as Pistol Pete says, ministers rule by…
“No wisdom greater than an elected MP!” So says the King … Bridg, being an MP, has operated in the highest of all interests – her own. Her own being of course, the interests of her party … which is after all what really matters. The King says that MPs, politicians, are so very much better at judging just who it is that public money should be doled out to than any democratically misguided panel of supposed experts. These ‘experts’…
Well I’m not going to wade through all the latest guff of Furphy Tayor’s. Standard Australian Government Claptrap … Lies and poor maths … Taking us all as fools and sweeping the muck back under the crowns on the alter. … Though I should mention that it’s us who pay to keep the muck under the crowns! What I will say, is that far from being proud to have such an ignorant and draconian crowd of thieves for a government,…
