When a government threatens a people, whether it be with lies or big stick physical therapy .. then the people have every right in the world to defend themselves from that government. Tis true, that the Corporations have this same right too – but then they’re part of the system and can afford to fight both the people and the government, they dont have to fight very hard as the government fights their battles for them. An election is where…
Do we know what is our community? This is the crux of the question of just who can represent us in a Parliamentary system. We should assume this Parliament operates on democratic principles and when we can’t assume that, then we, us, the community members, must ensure that it does. I have written and debated within myself from one end to the other of this now flat Earth on this single subject – integral representation. The quality of the debating…
Don’t we wish. The problem here is that we haven’t been able to get the kids on board to the actual greening. It only takes a short walk through a camping ground to see that whatever it is the Greens have been doing since the days of old Bob Brown .. education through action isn’t one of them. Infighting and coercion through Political Correctness seems to be the main policy of the Modern Green – party politically, that is. It’s…
I must have a fair go, and lest I be accused of not giving a fair go to all, and just in case my political bias is too obscured by my humanity, my belief in democracy, equity and equality and of course, my rabid Republicanism .. I must give a fairer go to the King and his Dragoons and to the Greening of Australia, and I must expose, therefore, these others who would rule on our behalf this lucky country…
Here we are again, into another year of this wonderful 21st Century. In Australia were going to be crowning another King – lord god almighty let’s hope its not the same one .. or at least let’s pray that its not another one from the same clique as our last three Kings have come from. Let’s bring back some integrity into our rulers. Lets make them answerable to us … Hell, let’s make Australia a democracy, let’s make it a…
Ours .. aint it? I mean this dosh the neoLibs – the poor Nats just dont get a look in these days eh – are going to jump up and down about saving the country .. its actually our money, taken from us in order to provide the things we need on a collective basis. You know, from those according to their means, to those according to their needs. Is that the ideal? This ‘budget surplus’. How do we get…
Billy Boy, the King says you’re not talking to the right people! He says you’ve got it all wrong .. he says that ‘mainstream Australia’, thats the “Christian majority” have a different idea regarding just what injustice and tolerance are … He says justification of intolerance are what Aussies want. Says its fundamental to a true Aussie character. He says corruption also is tolerable as long as its Pistol Pete’s – and Christ’s – version of it. However … He…
Corporativism, Neo-liberalism and Australia in the 21stC – just paradise .. aint it? I’ve been caught by the corporate month. I thought I had that all sorted … 28 days. That old fella up at Vittoria was right, were fucking about with the time too much. No wonder we’re all so confused. Gives one a whole new view of the world having to rely on the moon to tell the time. A few dark clouded nights and .. well, you…
I see that we’re robbing funds from the NDIS for drought relief. Thought Barney the Dunce had all that sorted … Cormann said the NDIS was currently undersubscribed but “if demand was higher in the future, the budget would accommodate that in the same way as we do for all our demand driven programs”. Confusing lot of nonsense as usual. Matty the Mop says it’s no problem. Not as many disabled people as he was told there were, that’s the…
Well, seems I’m back travelling with the Trogs .. watching the bush be stripped of its future soil just to build a little fire to watch. I don’t suppose anyone’s ever going to want to plant anything here again? Them’s the breaks. Gotta get born earlier. It’s not surprising that the Kings Minister for the Earth can only think in terms of filthy lucre – it’s their primary excuse for not doing anything. Cash! Not enough for this not enough…
