We Judge.

We Judge.

Ha! So Billy Boy’s going to go it alone and force the minority neoLibNat government into acting in the best interests of the People of Australia. Fat chance, I say. Now why not ask the People of Australia – via some sort of online plebicite … I’ll set it up, easy – whether we want one. We need one for sure. Judging by the rubbish, misinformation and obfuscation we get from these fools who believe they’re ruling – ruining –…

Draco, Lunar Months & Hypocrisy

Draco, Lunar Months & Hypocrisy

Corporativism, Neo-liberalism and Australia in the 21stC – just paradise .. aint it? I’ve been caught by the corporate month. I thought I had that all sorted … 28 days. That old fella up at Vittoria was right, were fucking about with the time too much. No wonder we’re all so confused. Gives one a whole new view of the world having to rely on the moon to tell the time. A few dark clouded nights and .. well, you…

My Country, Right or Wrong?

My Country, Right or Wrong?

A branch secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia and president of the NT Trades & Labour Council, Thomas Mayor, part of the Uluru convention, has been touring the country to help build support for the Uluru Statement from the Heart. “We’ve just had this amazing moment [with the Uluru statement], we’ve been pushing it, and we’re going to get sent to the back of the bus to wait for a republic that does nothing to empower our people,” he said….

Forgetting as A Moral Virtue

Forgetting as A Moral Virtue

Always as I near home this question comes to me. It’s a question of course that I’ve thought much on over the years. It’s a question to which I’ve also given an answer on numerous occasions. A most unsatisfactory answer, I must construe, from the fact that … Well, here I am at home again and now it appears that this is the only question not covered in pink fluff that everyone awaits … Why to forgive but not to…

A Myopia for A Future.

A Myopia for A Future.

I would’ve though it would be ok to be any colour at all .. and that it would be ok not to be ashamed of it … This representative of a community in this once proud, free and inclusive country of ours appears not to believe that that is the case. I suppose she at least stands up for her right to express her opinions. Does that right not extend to all of us? Senator Hanson-Young said the person responsible…

A Poorly Designed Debating Club

A Poorly Designed Debating Club

Isn’t it absurd that a debate can be decided like a flower show, with a show of hands. This is effectively how our so called democratic parliament works. Things, ideas, concepts .. dare I say laws .. issues of the utmost importance to the common mass of the people within our society are decided by a small group of people – who in most cases have no more knowledge of the issues than the common man in the street and…

Courage

Courage

They are hiding in our truth. Their acts so obscene and sinister that we can’t believe it’s real, what they are doing. This blinds our truth. Think of the line “I could never believe that”. The thing is it seems that we can’t. There’s a joke there. In that “space”. Laughing at us, “they will believe what we feed them”. Television, constructed news, advertising. We block them from our view because they are monsters. Does anyone think it strange that…

The Gift of Laws

The Gift of Laws

Seems the solution to any form of Climate Change – helped along by humanity or not – and subsequent ‘people movement’ is in legislation. Well, it’s worked before … More law. Pity we cant eat laws, we must have banks and banks of old overlapping decaying meaningless laws stored away in silos by now. How long have we been conjuring up laws, man made artificial laws? Let’s give it .. oh, say 15000 years – sure, perhaps God only gave…

Here is Disgrace, Waiting for Disgust.

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…

Australian Values?

Australian Values?

Australian Values? What are Australian Values? Who judges? Are they Peter Dutton’s or Julia Gillard’s values? Are these values Christian Porter’s or Caroline Chisholm’s? Are they Ned Kelly’s or those that threw up the stockade at Eureka’s values? Are they the values of Scott Morrison or the values of Stan Grant? Are they Fred Hollow’s or the values of those thrown ashore at Gallipoli’s? Who judges? Are they the values of John Howard or the values of Gough Whitlam? Who…
