“Well,” he said, “its good for all of us. The King’s mob are gonna keep givin’ us lots of free money … ” He’s a toothless old Queenslander rattling around on the margins of existence, ablaze in a marooooons jumper and today he’s all up in arms about Princess Popular’s corruptions and the great benefit the King’s been to old fashioned Aussie ideals. One more reason that us over 55s shouldn’t be able to vote on the plans for the…
Alan ‘the Tick’ Tudge has dismissed judicial commentary on his abuse of Human Rights as mere twaddle. He says the judge was only giving his opinion and that his opinion is wrong. “No man has a right to pry into his neighbours private concerns and the opinions of every man are his private concerns … But when he makes those opinions public … when he once comes forward as a candidate for public admiration, esteem or compassion, his opinions, his…
Governments don’t give ultimatums to the people, its the other way around. “In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better that a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides.” – Heinrich Heine. No matter how powerful a government believes itself to be, if we say we are a Democracy…
Their whole idea of ‘good governance’ is forcing through legislation. “This bill will become law! This will go through!” etc etc. Doesn’t say alot for the independence of our parliamentary representatives does it. Id suppose that with such bloody minded confidence from the King’s Ministers, that there must be some secret information available that they coerce our representatives into voting for draconian laws with, that for some reason we, the Australian people, are in no need of knowing. Information that…
Can’t possibly imagine what its like to see Old Joh Mumbles turned into a hero of the Lost Tribes. To see the the ‘Party of the People’ praying away at the shrines of the neoLibNats. To see those little gnomes suddenly gushing out of their darkened homes. “Nothing is to be gained by submission to base oppressors; they flatter, and fawn, and coax, like crocodiles, for no other purpose, than to allure their victims to a more certain destruction.” –…
All the talk about getting kids back into a love and a desire to play Test Cricket … Talk wont do it. What they mean is how do they get the crowds back to the long game? How do you teach kids to build innings or to learn the nous to take wickets when you’re being belted all around the neighbourhood? I hear that today in Junior Cricket – and in Australia, juniors I’m told, don’t play red ball cricket…
They’re moving in on the old liberals within the neoLibs New Party. It’s an old trick .. butter em up and give em un-winnable positions within the Party Hierarchy or a sinicure. It’s been said that, “the first person that mentions Hitler loses the argument”. Old fashioned cover up thinking .. (and I’m trying to win an argument). While its probable that the neoLibs New Guard don’t exactly worship the man, their political machinations pay homage to his methods. Time…
II’v just been having an interesting discussion with an old fella I once met mowing his camp spot up near Moree … He says the reason us youngsters believe all this Climate Change bullshit (here I think he means- Human Enhanced Climate Change) is because we fuck around with the time all the time. It started of with whether the sun was shining through the hole in the Cenotaph down in Victoria at the 11th hour this morning. I said,…
Seems the solution to any form of Climate Change – helped along by humanity or not – and subsequent ‘people movement’ is in legislation. Well, it’s worked before … More law. Pity we cant eat laws, we must have banks and banks of old overlapping decaying meaningless laws stored away in silos by now. How long have we been conjuring up laws, man made artificial laws? Let’s give it .. oh, say 15000 years – sure, perhaps God only gave…
