“Be doers of the word, not just hearers that deceive themselves” (James 1:22, Matt 7:24) How do you effect change when you need help to do it but so many of the people who you need the help from say they are not prepared to help until the change is effected? Australian schoolchildren took the first step this past week, they decided to opt in even though they were told that they weren’t allowed to. That’s called rebellion. And rebellion…
What a week we’ve had … Finally. It seems that this week Australia woke up and remembered that though we’re not a democracy, we keep getting told that we are a Democracy. Not since the 1960s,70s and 80s have we witnessed democracy in action. And who’d a thought, the children of the 2020s! After the past few decades of pathetic pandering to self interest of their Mums and Dads .. the kids, at last, broke through the cotton wool barrier….
I remember marching up Manly Beach .. sometime in the late 1970s .. we could do that then without the supervision of a department of State Security – no listening devices or phone cameras being waved in our faces for the future benefits of a government fear campaign – the particular occasion I’m remembering was a grand community march to have the North Head Sewage outlets removed. We didn’t achieve that but the government did come to the party and…
Whats is this? I read this morning that some of the PC Greens are raving about an anarchist segment of their party of purity ‘enforcing’ ideals on others. No. Can’t be. Anarchism doesn’t allow for the forcing of ideas, views, conscience. That sounds like Fascism, divine right liberalism. Sounds like Pistol Pete and his new king! We really should stop all this ignorance and this corruption of terminology … Ever thought about going back to the history books, darlings? I…
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…
Such a wonderful World, such a lucky country … I see the Kings decided that its okay for his charity to feed all those hungry Aussies his ministers decrees have thrown out onto the streets with no recourse to .. well, government aid. Shame he couldnt get away with his neoliberal bidding process on a thing like poverty, as he appears to have done with Human Rights and Dignity. What’s gone wrong? Surely the recent massive overreaction to State Security…
II’v just been having an interesting discussion with an old fella I once met mowing his camp spot up near Moree … He says the reason us youngsters believe all this Climate Change bullshit (here I think he means- Human Enhanced Climate Change) is because we fuck around with the time all the time. It started of with whether the sun was shining through the hole in the Cenotaph down in Victoria at the 11th hour this morning. I said,…
He’s a mega tosser ain’t he, Our King? Up there in his Big Blue Bus munching on carp, spreadin’ the news .. given us what we want. He’s a listening, he’s a hearing and he’s a doin – gawd help us! What a look. One right tosser. No wonder the backpackers love im .. an icon, our elected King. King of the Regions. One right tosser. Hope he takes that bus through Dickson .. Pistol Pete can whack a few…
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…
“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…
