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…
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…
“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…
Why is Fascism infiltrating the National Party? Because that’s how Fascism works, by infiltration. Why the National Party? Because it’s a small dying Party holding on to the coat-tails and trailing in the wake of their brother party of false value and self interest the nLNP. History … It’s repeating. Fascism thrives on ignorance, self interest and complacency .. and it judges that the mass of man are sufficeintly consumed with false interest and are sufficeintly cowed by deceit and…
I see our Foreign Affairs Dept has prevented an Aussie Senator – one of our elected representatives – from going to have a look at whats going on behind the scenes in our Penal Resort on Nauru .. they say these ‘transitory humans’ are none of Australia’s business! They’re in transit twixt Heaven and Hell … Don’t they wish! They’re in paradise, lost to paradise and moving on. Now, from where I view this World of ours – and I…
The process is the issue – the ends do not justify the means. This government, these neoLibNats, show absolute contempt for democratic process. “Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we…
Want to get a few things down before Suicide Radio becomes seriously suicidal a little later. Last night we had Patti K discussing Viagra, breast pumps and tampons. All excited she is when she gets a chance to be a fearless honest journalist and push her rabid right wing Feminism on any man that can’t see a problem with being .. well, a man. She has only daughters – daughters of freedom. Of all people she could do with a…
“For me there is only the travelling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel – looking, looking breathlessly.” – Castenada’s Don Juan. Unemployment, sickness & homelessness as a lifestyle choice .. it’s an interesting NeoLiberal concept – dont you think? A lot like saying that old age is a lifestyle choice… I think it’s…
Well here I go again, pissing into the wind while it cries Mary to me – Clare Mary (not her real name of course). I am busy, all boxed up, kangaroos waiting to be shot in the corn. But my, hasnt Suicide Radio been fun the past coupla days? Have you ever noticed how much King Shnot – in his publicity shots – looks like Benito Mussolini? Do you think he tries for this look? I’m deciding whether I am…
“They’re just using their numbers to play politics.” Ahh, to use a standard phrase of Miss Mandy’s, ..’ well hello, durr!’ … Ain’t that the name of the game these days? How is it we can accept this sort of ignorance from these neo-liberal cretins? No wonder our children are so heartless, so disinterested in what’s going on in the world. This claptrap is the neoLibs answer to the fact that a parliamentary ethics committee ‘apparently’ made up of Greens…
