Spare a Thought for Your Professional Representative.

Spare a Thought for Your Professional Representative.

Well, only another week for us all to enjoy living like the king. I s’pose we can expect to be bombarded with all these sob stories; our starving refugees and captive backpackers; those millions who’ve been finding out how those of us who are criminally unemployed, sick, injured or just plain old old, survive on a king’s kid’s pocket money. Millions, suddenly going to be relieved of their social burden and thrown back into proper pay at their old jobs…

Madam Lambie’s Dilemma.

Madam Lambie’s Dilemma.

I hear its a growth industry now, the neoliberal ideal … One may pay for compassion. Hugs. Its the new take on what one may deserve. Those that can afford it can get much. Friendships, respect, love, all doled out to those depending on what they can pay. Sympathy, that’s for the devil – thank God. Imagine, sitting across a government desk while its discussed just how much respect and compassion one is due at any present time … ‘Well,…

Our Clipped Wings Provide A Shield of Steel.

Our Clipped Wings Provide A Shield of Steel.

On the safe reopening of our Demockratic Parliament. Funny how when we age we wallow in the comforts of things we protested about when we were young. The rape and pillage of the Earth, the racism, the deflections, the corruption of democratic process, we were once so determined we would not allow to happen again – at least on our watch – become a fluffy blanket in which to insulate our final years. God damn the submarines! Plough on, plough…

Breathing Who’s Air?

Breathing Who’s Air?

“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…

Good Souls & Mini Parliamentarians.

Good Souls & Mini Parliamentarians.

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…

Heaven’s Full. Get Out!

Heaven’s Full. Get Out!

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…

Untermenschen & Golden Boys.

Untermenschen & Golden Boys.

“Sedition is the inevitable consequence of tyranny.” – Sebastian Castellio. Mr PC, Andy Moore of NRL fame and his partner in crime Natty Elliott, find it, ‘quite frankly … offensive’ even ‘beyond outrageous’ that a TV station, and he means Channel 9, can dictate to his NRL just what teams can come and go in this wonderfully hypocritical ‘national league’. National league my arse! You know, there other sports, and the fact that this National League has so bamboozled Our…

Robes and Furr’d Gowns.

Robes and Furr’d Gowns.

“Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all.” – Shakespeare’s King Lear. Prime minister Scott Morrison says his government has no plans … while talking up national employment figures, declaring “how good are jobs”. “Not bad I’d imagine, if ya can scam one that ya get 500+ K a year for, bully other people and ruin a beautiful country with .. eh, eh .. wink wink nudge nudge, eh, King.” The comments come as one of his backbenchers warn…

Undersubscribed in Australia.

Undersubscribed in Australia.

I read the other day that the so called NDIS is undersubscribed. In other words, that the government can syphon money out of it. One of the reasons given – by the government, of course – is that us untermenchen are refusing to have invasive surgeries. I’m not so sure that refusing is the right word. In the first place, and as one who knows, the waiting list for these so called invasive surgeries are endlessly long. Its easier and…

Cherish Life …

Cherish Life …

Me, I’m a Most Profligate Sinner … And so damned proud of it! “Ah”, I hear you say, “Pride is another sin”. Yes it is, but its a noble sin and its open to everyone … Ole Suicide again, Cherish Life – what a load of crap – another righteous organisation bounded in sin. The sin they call the ‘Right to Life’; except all rights have been removed from it. They say, how would you feel if you were told…
