How we can distil the will of a whole country into the pettiness of one man and say ‘ it’s ours’ .. Or rather, let that one man say, ‘it’s yours!’? Australia says ‘He does!’. Fiji says, ‘He doesn’t’. So, our Kings off with a bag of our cash to ensure .. or perhaps to convince Fiji that ‘he does!’. Don’t we have those new Jet Fighters yet? Surely we can put more pressure on a small Pacific Island like…
I don’t think that I share a single value with the King or any of his Merry Men. In fact I’d be damned ashamed of myself as an Australian if I did. Of course we don’t actually know what these values, these fair dinkum Aussie values, the King and his buffoons hold and on which they judge other Australians to be unfit to be Australians actually are. On the surface of it you’d have to think that just being a…
Now forgive me for being such a dumb cunt, but why are all of our refugees up on Manus & Nauru criminals? Now we have Air Vice-Marshal Osbourne telling us that these poor people and their children are criminals. Me, being an Aussie, a not so proud anymore Aussie, would just like to know what it is that our refugees have been convicted of? When I was a proud Aussie I prided myself on being up with the news of…
Its a hard thing to be caught in the middle of somebody elses lies. To effectively be used as a tool and therefore become – against your will and in spite of your declared wish – complicit in their deceit. How should you take this? Other than abandoning friendships years in the making there is very little one can do in this situation. This petty neo-liberal society wallows in petty deceits and in petty games … It’s like being at…
Australia New Century started this day, Monday 26th Nov. 2018 Wow, what a day .. you’d think a day after you’d reversed over yourself in your own driveway, you’d keep away from the mail box. Eh? Got to give him a point, he’s ‘aving a go! They think were so fuckin stupid .. dont they? Why should we expect less? Just another expensive day of chain dragging deceit in the good old Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. While the…
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…
A branch secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia and president of the NT Trades & Labour Council, Thomas Mayor, part of the Uluru convention, has been touring the country to help build support for the Uluru Statement from the Heart. “We’ve just had this amazing moment [with the Uluru statement], we’ve been pushing it, and we’re going to get sent to the back of the bus to wait for a republic that does nothing to empower our people,” he said….
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…
Do you think that by sending all our refugee children back to imprisonment on our Pacific Island for Christmas is meant to send a message to ‘people smugglers’ ? Just an off hand question Patti K asked on her Suicide Radio programme last night. Didn’t really get an answer. I mean, there were a couple of deep sighs .. though that could have been the wind too. I like Mr Peters take on this ‘letting the kings god look after…
They are hiding in our truth. Their acts so obscene and sinister that we can’t believe it’s real, what they are doing. This blinds our truth. Think of the line “I could never believe that”. The thing is it seems that we can’t. There’s a joke there. In that “space”. Laughing at us, “they will believe what we feed them”. Television, constructed news, advertising. We block them from our view because they are monsters. Does anyone think it strange that…
