I wish it was possible to ignore the world, to find some sort of sense in the hermitage of ignorance. I wish that silence gave me the pleasure that it once did … I’m not born for this new world. I live in a box but somehow bringing down the shutters and flooding it with artificial light doesn’t work for me … no matter how hard I try I can’t understand how it works. This new world seems like a…
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….
While we’re talking terminology & since our promotion, and love affair, with technology so increases that most important entity Profit – which is perhaps our greatest love – and since this technology makes it so much more productive to make a buck with much less bang .. don’t you think its time to rename unemployment & homelessness? As technology increases profit, and the use of technology to make profit equates, naturally, to unemployment which in this New Australia equates to…
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…
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…
