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…

No Collusion in Corruption.

No Collusion in Corruption.

Surely it would be cheaper, less admin costs, if the King was to give our dosh directly to his Corporate buddies rather than to a bunch of Aussies of the second or third class? Has this man no shame? Not only is he prepared to bribe us Aussies with good character, the very act of this bribery – should we accept it – taints our good character. As a collective mass we should say, “No King, don’t blacken us with…

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…

A Priest, a Lawyer and a Policeman.

A Priest, a Lawyer and a Policeman.

“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…

Lies for a Beautiful Future

Lies for a Beautiful Future

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…

Porters Passing Wind

‘Were about giving firm commitments not aspirations’. Yes, well, we wouldn’t mind a bit of aspiration with your commitment – and we’ll keep it firm. I see our incorruptible Attorney General is still struggling along with his definition of corruption. I suppose one way to get a handle on it is to immerse yourself in it. Nothing like first hand experience and a bit of commitment. There seems to be alot of suddenly loose change floating about at the moment….

The Dribbles On ..

The Dribbles On ..

Theres a great analogy in the Darling River and the neoliberal belief in dribble down … Whoa whoa there .. whats this? Ah, Ms Bishops back – could be an election around the corner? What’s she got to say .. she’s a great dribbler. She says, “… Australians believe the government’s doing too much interfering in their lives ..”. Problem with this the Princess maintains is that without the government interference Australians would be running around free and happy. They…

King Threatens Continued Corruption.

King Threatens Continued Corruption.

When a government threatens a people, whether it be with lies or big stick physical therapy .. then the people have every right in the world to defend themselves from that government. Tis true, that the Corporations have this same right too – but then they’re part of the system and can afford to fight both the people and the government, they dont have to fight very hard as the government fights their battles for them. An election is where…
