Madam Lambie’s Dilemma.

Madam Lambie’s Dilemma.

I hear its a growth industry now, the neoliberal ideal … One may pay for compassion. Hugs. Its the new take on what one may deserve. Those that can afford it can get much. Friendships, respect, love, all doled out to those depending on what they can pay. Sympathy, that’s for the devil – thank God. Imagine, sitting across a government desk while its discussed just how much respect and compassion one is due at any present time … ‘Well,…

New Furphies in the Making. Or, the Power of the Science of Enquiry.

New Furphies in the Making. Or, the Power of the Science of Enquiry.

Well I’m not going to wade through all the latest guff of Furphy Tayor’s. Standard Australian Government Claptrap … Lies and poor maths … Taking us all as fools and sweeping the muck back under the crowns on the alter. … Though I should mention that it’s us who pay to keep the muck under the crowns! What I will say, is that far from being proud to have such an ignorant and draconian crowd of thieves for a government,…

The Gluttony of Choice: Holidays in Heaven or Hell.

The Gluttony of Choice: Holidays in Heaven or Hell.

“What is with these people? Why can’t they leave the poor fella alone?” said Coon Jazz through the smoke haze. “Leave who alone, Col?” I answered. “What the hell you mumbling about?” “Slomo .. jeez can’t the poor fella have a holiday … These people … Jeez, everyone deserves a holiday!” “Scomo, I think ya mean Col. Though I get your point, he’s certainly the epitome of slow motion in inaction … At least when it comes to the things…

Take Away not Sorrow, for it Feeds the Soul.

Take Away not Sorrow, for it Feeds the Soul.

Just to think that it wasn’t so very long ago that we could drink unclean water, unconsecrated water more correctly. Its true that only 100 years ago that water, although perhaps unclean, wasn’t full of the contaminants of progress; our plastic, insecticides, herbicides, our cast off wire and flaking chrome, our coal dust and heavy metal tailings and our dead and dying. Back then we had no need to see water as a basic human right. Back then we only…

Twas Even a Thicker Band of Thieves Gather’d.

Twas Even a Thicker Band of Thieves Gather’d.

Awfully crowded in the right armpit of God these days, ain’t it any wonder our King sits on the left. Tough Tony’s party sure sounded like a hoot last night … Ah, to have been another blowfly on the wall. Reports are that Tough Tony’s thanked the King for ensuring, through the use of miracles, that his government goes down in history as the most progressive, and economical, the most procedurally thick bunch of bangers since Little Johnny waded in…

And the Moon is Made of Greening Cheese.

And the Moon is Made of Greening Cheese.

It’s funny, don’t you think, how a section of Society jumps noisily up and down about the protection afforded to them by Democracy and is silent on the protections Democracy is designed to afford individuality? Also how, Free Speech and Expression is only deigned okay if one happens to be a member of that part of Society. This, of course, is another diatribe on the principles of corruption, and as any of you brave or debauched enough to follow my…

“You Earned It, You Worked Hard .. its Not Welfare.”

“You Earned It, You Worked Hard .. its Not Welfare.”

I see the World’s told the King that he’s missed the point. What a joke, as if we here in the Lucky Country couldn’t have told them that without a great big convention. How on earth do we here let him get away with it? We should turf the idiot out. Its one thing having such an ignorant and hypocritical little man lording it over us here at home, but for us to allow him to get up in front…

A Few Wild Swings.

A Few Wild Swings.

Not to be seen nor wished to be heard? With reference to a well writ article – in another tome of Social Conscience – Independent Australia – on the King’s wisdom with regard to limitless futures and his bent take on science and technology, dribble-down and progress. And bringing in the inevitable relation of said bents on the health of his proud and brave nation. … And his Ministers Fighting Fund for Ignorant Personal Interests – the NDIS and its…

A Conscience on Fire.

A Conscience on Fire.

“Woe to the lukewarm. Shame on him who is ashamed. Woe to and shame on him who is ashamed. The question here is not so much to believe or not to believe. Shame on the man who would deny his faith to avoid ridicule, to avoid being laughed at, to avoid being branded a fool. The question here concerns the man who does not trouble to find out whether he believes or does not believe.” – Charles Peguy Well, I…

Inside A Cocky’s Breaches.

Inside A Cocky’s Breaches.

Far Right press steps into the government breaches and accuses GetUp of exploiting children in their concern for man-made climate destruction. No not true, can’t be … the children are using GetUp to protect part of their future. Despite the fact that our government of Divine Right have done everything possible to dumb down the education of our children, and to induce as much fear as possible, and apprehended risk into the expression of their concerns … their demanding of…
