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…
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 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…
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…
‘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….
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…
‘Sick people’ – slipped up here, they mean criminals – on Manus Island and Nauru will be sent to Christmas Island, not the mainland, under new medevac laws, so the minister of fear and loathing says. This seems a bit rich, a bit of a waste of cash, isn’t the mainland closer? Pistol Pete’s pretty free with the Kings cash these days, he must have one hell of a stash fenced off on one of his pristine white beaches. Pete, here’s…
If our elected government is ‘suddenly preparing for an influx of refugees’ requiring a medical transfer from our island prisons, then doesn’t that mean that they, our government of wisdom, KNOW that most of these refugees are sick and have been requiring medical treatment for some time? Christ says, “The assessment that would be required to see their suitability on security and criminal grounds for entry into Australia wasn’t conducted, is being conducted now,” he told Insiders, and somehow this…
Lord, the words men must die for. Must we really be lied to so continuously? What is it with this mob of neoLibNats and the English Language? Why can they not answer any of our questions? Is it possible that they don’t have the answers or does one just get the impression that their answers, like their obfuscation and their corruption of our values is unacceptable to the vast majority of Australians? Can you imagine Christ Porter, Pistol Pete and…
