“Tyranny usurps the place of equality, which is the soul of liberty, and destroys the public courage.” – Thomas Gordon. How is it that there has become a ‘RIGHT not to be offended’? What does this mean? The RIGHT not to be offended by what, honesty, sincerity, truth? How is it that such a beautiful country full of character, humanity, egality, such a multicultural combination of peaceful experience as we were such a very short time ago … How is…
You have to remember that these true Sons of the Southern Cross have never had to swear false oaths. They’ve never had to stand under a flag of dominion and swear to a god they don’t believe in and a king or queen who promises to rule over them with justice and humanity. Saying that, these Ministers of the Crown, these cowards and thieves would swear to anything … except of course, The Fitzgerald Principles. I know plenty of Aussies…
I really don’t understand why the First Nations people, and the rest of Australia, don’t see that all we need to do to get the country back of its knees again, to drag it back up from under the dirty skirt of this Liberal National disgrace and into the fresh air is to demand a Bill of Rights and then to make a proper Constitution with it. The Aboriginal people who are calling from a voice in a corrupt parliament,…
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…
Ohhhh .. sounds ominous. Unfortunately due to, I imagine, the cuts to Our ABC I only managed to get the last part of the Kings speech from the far west of NSW yesterday. He appeared to be his usual ranting bullying self however. The bit I got was something about “cowards and keyboard warriors .. ” whom I gather, he’s “going to fix next week.” I’m hoping he doesn’t mean ‘neuter’ – like little puppy’s and kittens? By “cowards” I…
I cannot see how I can write about this without bringing the issue of corruption into it. I cannot see a separation. So Izzy, Israel Folau, is being hammered, now, from all sides. I too would have a small bone to pick with Izzy, however that bone is nothing compared to the huge rotting carcass I’d have to pick with the King. Since the bone is smaller than the carcass, lets pick at it first. My problem with Izzy is…
Australia is being compelled to take people of ‘bad character’, so the Mimp for State Security and Deprivation of Conscience is raving to his clique again. Of course, the thing he’s attempting to muddle is medical treatment for our refugees .. remember them, those fellow humans we’ve imprisoned out there on an island that time, we are told, should forget. Now this bad character that ‘His Disgrace’ bandies about is a notion of criminality. What does he fear so much…
‘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…
Its so hard not to judge other people on your values even when you know you shouldn’t. I suppose thats why we’re always trying to find shared values, not so that when we find them we can judge others, but so that when we’re forced into a position of judgement or when we jump into a judgement, we at least have an understanding of the meaning of those values. Much of my life is spent in being judged by others…
