Let’s Not Mix Our Priests with Kings

Let’s Not Mix Our Priests with Kings

I suppose that by now you’d have to think he believes the rubbish he spews forth. Its that old British Empire mentality that if you shout louder at the idiots .. then they will understand what it is you are lying to them about. My grandfather had it, if you were black, brown or yellow you just had to be shouted at, louder. The real problem with this King, is with his god. Everything the King says about his god…

Dreams of Green

Dreams of Green

I suppose you can’t really blame Billy Boy for not wanting to coalesce with the City Greens*, apart from the fact that if our election was held on strictly democratic lines i.e. no vote trading, his Party would always have the numbers, coalitions with untrustworthy political friends always seem to degenerate into governments of untrustworthy self-interested representatives; into a clash of lies and one upmanship .. or woman-ship, as the case may be. We only have to look at the…

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…

7 Little Sins.

7 Little Sins.

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…

Utter Childish Contempt

Utter Childish Contempt

Well, Billy Boys railing on about the Kings contempt for Democracy .. and so should he. Lets face it, its not exactly a surprise. The King and his Cretins don’t believe in democracy. The ‘party’, the boys group they belong to, doesn’t believe in democracy nor anything like transparent process. So now our noble King believes he can draw out the inevitable. I’m not one by the way who believes in the King’s usurped divine rights .. shock and horror….

The King Knows.

The King Knows.

“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….

Strangling the Ravens

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 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…
