Well, how do you keep up? Remember when this disgraceful priest was appointed by his Party to be the guide into our future? No? I suppose it was such a very long time ago now … Before the last election. Of course,thats how these men measure time. There is that time when we are coming up to an election when they are perfect upholders of the rights and character of all Australians and our inclusion in the free world, the…
I suppose its called testing the waters. Seeing what reaction our kids give when their government arrests foreign correspondents covering a major environmental catastrophe. No, not an act of gods, like a cyclone or a tsunami .. or a neoLibNat government but a man made disaster like Adani – I’d imagine there’s not going to be much of a reaction.

(I’m sure there is enough…

It’s true, for some this would be ranked as a Utopian garden, but I dont even get fake news, although much of what I do get it would be preferred if I felt it was fake .. if I could be content for it to be fake. I do…
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…
