The Kings been praying for us again – lord I do wish he wouldn’t do that, its disgracefully demeaning. This is where the King’s got this all wrong, he believes in Hell. Hell on earth .. which is where its always been. Fascists need Hell, don’t matter that the Pope prayed it out of existence, the neoLibNats prey it right back in for our benefit. Both heaven and hell are earth bound concepts. “I believe in a fair go for…
I think I have a Home Affairs Pelican out here in front of me. He’s been cruising my bit of river front here for a few days .. pretends to be catching stuff, fish .. but I dunno. The boys have warned me about Home Affairs chappies wandering about dressed as wild-life. They say a truck hit an Auroch out on the highway a couple nights ago with a couple of public servants in it. And they tell me, Aurochs…
I left with 50 books – picked up a few gems at no cost from Gleebooks the day I left. So, as you can imagine I’m a travelling book store .. problem being that there’s no one out here who reads my sort of rubbish. The Gnomads have created this rule that books MUST be swapped. Must. So I’m likely to have a pile of Donna Hay magazines swapped for my copy of Wheen’s Karl Marx, in fact I’d probably…
There are some interesting concepts of democracy being advocated by Australian youth at the moment. These concepts, advocated by youth who say that they don’t believe in Democracy .. are mightily democratic! Did somebody turn the lights off in the classroom since I left? Of course I’m back in the back blocks with only Suicide Radio for information, that and old blokes who, as they say ‘couldnt give a shit what happens to the country anymore’. Such is life. Last…
I’m wrong of course, as usual. We should all be so extremely grateful to the King and his Merry Men for being able to see their ways to doling out 75 smakaroos, 75 big ones out of their slush funds, to all the poor people of Australia. True, he’s not doling it out to all the poor people in the country but only to the 2nd and 3rd class. It is after all, 75 bucks that could be used in…
“The prime minister knows that many fed-up voters are looking at the Coalition, already, as losers.” – Katherine Murphy. She’s gotta be joking .. don’t you think? Most of us are looking at the Coalition as morally bankrupt criminals. Thieves and corporate bully boys looking at nothing more than their pensions and dragging the good character of Australia down into the gutter with their Divine Rights. The neoLibNats have no interest in the future, not even for their pampered children….
They make everything expensive these days don’t they .. I mean old age and sickness, give us a little bit more here and a lttle bit more there and we can make everything wonderful for you. Cash equals life, eh, the quality of life anyway. I’ve just told my little sister that we should all be shot at 30. A couple hours of reflection though and I’m modifying my point .. I’d say 50. If you’ve had kids they should…
Old Hoosh is here. He’s an Iranian refugee. He’s not actually that old, in fact he’s younger than me. He gets on with the government. I don’t. I don’t know how he does it but he au fait with them. He doesn’t travel. He’s non adventurous and he definitely has a screw loose. I suppose that so do I .. but then I don’t get on with this government. I’m not sure what his problem is, I’ve chatted with him…
“The creation of this portfolio offends just about all generally accepted principles of machinery of government. Departments should be built around services to be performed rather than groups or individuals to be served. Like functions should be co-located. Police, prosecutorial and intelligence-gathering should be kept apart from related policy functions. And major responsibilities, like immigration, should have standalone departments.” Ah, but the Fascists love State Security .. by any name, be it Home Affairs or the Department of Misinformation. They…
Scott Morrison’s evil pot’s attempting, once again, to blacken the Democratic kettle. Lies, more lies and .. dammit, more inane lies. Surely this is illegal? Surely all this harping on falsity by the King and his Merry Men, all this divisive draconian fear-mongering, all this deceit in the defence of a ‘possible unknown future outcome’ isn’t condusive to the values of our inclusive humanitarian community? Since when do a people with Australia’s proud history, a people with a history of…
