One of the more despicable things about the King’s government is its abuse if process … Its true, the process i talk about are ones of convention; processes that we as democratically minded Aussies have become accustomed to and not processes with constitutional protections. But, as in Willing Don’s US of A, we didn’t, and don’t, expect that a small group of unscrupulous men will ‘get themselves elected’ in order to be ‘allowed an opinion’ and with the express purpose…
When to do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law … Depending of course, on just who thou art, or as was many times said, the law being an ass often has a King’s head stuck up its arse. So now we have the King informing the House that breaking the law, when appropriate, is in fact a duty; the constitutional law that says, ‘that a minister of the King may not meddle in the law’. Phew,…
Well may you say, we don’t care whether its Constitutional or not! Well, constitutional, unfortunately it is; what its not, is guaranteed nor fair to other Aussies. Yes yes, I hear the shrieks of “Fair! Fair! YOU haven’t been fair to US!” Yes, but that was in the past and while parliamentary deceit and its methods haven’t changed, by now they damned well should have … because the rest of us have! A sop. And what’s more, a worthless sop….
Here we are in the biggest battle to save our very limited Democracy from a corrupting government of Divine Right in Australia’s modern history (and me sitting in one of the biggest dust storms I’ve been in – such a shame that our forefathers found it so necessary to clear the land to the extent they did) and our King is slapping us all down for continuing our fight against his idiocy on a day when people are suffering. Says,…
Censorship is a greater crime than the thing being censored can ever be deemed to be. And when the censorship is aimed at the public by a government that professes Democracy, and it is coerced upon the public broadcaster, then it is a transgression of the public’s right to know! Yes, its true, this is all dependent on the version of Democracy we profess. But I’m assuming that that version does not have a ‘k’ in it. “Those journalists who…
Their whole idea of ‘good governance’ is forcing through legislation. “This bill will become law! This will go through!” etc etc. Doesn’t say alot for the independence of our parliamentary representatives does it. Id suppose that with such bloody minded confidence from the King’s Ministers, that there must be some secret information available that they coerce our representatives into voting for draconian laws with, that for some reason we, the Australian people, are in no need of knowing. Information that…
It’s funny, don’t you think, how a section of Society jumps noisily up and down about the protection afforded to them by Democracy and is silent on the protections Democracy is designed to afford individuality? Also how, Free Speech and Expression is only deigned okay if one happens to be a member of that part of Society. This, of course, is another diatribe on the principles of corruption, and as any of you brave or debauched enough to follow my…
Bill of Rights and a New Constitution the only way for fair representation for Aboriginal peoples. Its in fact the only way for fair representation for all Australians. Yes, so, since we’ll talk and talk .. but not to each other. And since we’ll talk the talk but always above each other, and since, our anti-democratic government will keep passing the carrot to each of us individually – just to have a look, and since, not only does the current…
So, another week passes in Dreamland, and as usual, we’ve had a couple of our representatives who’ve abused the right of Parliamentary privilege and then offered a hollow apology for the abuse … Shameful. What they’re supposed to do – were this a Democracy – is apologize to the people of Australia for their petty corruptions of Democracy, not to other members of the Holy House who, let’s face it, are laughing into each others laps at our expense again….
Well, Madam got her way. Just shows that in the current version of Australian Authoritarian Populist Demockracy holding your breath works. Is it any wonder the kids don’t believe in Democracy. “Reputation is one thing; character another.” – John Clifford. Don Albanese’s had him expelled from the Labor Party. For what? Surely not for holding a dissenting opinion or for making a foolish comment. Like Neil Prakash we don’t get to hear what his true crimes are accusation is enough…
