What could possibly be the difference of sitting in a place for eight hours while the sun is out and shining, and sitting in that same place when the sun has done its day? What could happen in the darkness that could not happen in the light? “Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it.” – Andre Gide. Give a kid a uniform, and a badge, and their knowledge soars – their knowledge of fear and of…
“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…
Well, only another week for us all to enjoy living like the king. I s’pose we can expect to be bombarded with all these sob stories; our starving refugees and captive backpackers; those millions who’ve been finding out how those of us who are criminally unemployed, sick, injured or just plain old old, survive on a king’s kid’s pocket money. Millions, suddenly going to be relieved of their social burden and thrown back into proper pay at their old jobs…
A worrying week. A young lady – the fact that she’s pregnant is beside the point – gets arrested and led away in cuffs. Her crime? Allowing the freedom of her thought to express itself through her FakeBook page. More worrying; that her State’s coppers turned up at her locked-down home and dragged her from it. How did the security bureau know her thoughts? Well, it appears, she did have the balls to say what she was thinking and perhaps…
After all, he said, being bored is better than being dead. Well, thought I, this chap has some information that I don’t have. This warrants some research. Of course, weren’t no use in questioning the fella further … I mean, who can truly read the wisdom in a set of raised eyes? Perhaps its the wave of the hand? He was very sure of himself. He repeated it twice, and both times to a different question. Is this electioneering on…
The simple fact that neo-liberalism, corporatism (Fascism), the deceitful worship of false gods, is that the false god Profit requires less workers, paying them less, and more policemen to keep these hungry workers in their place. Slavery, whether one wants to call it wage slavery or just a necessity of corporate progress matters not. It is waste. And any assignment of morality to this system, whether by a king or by those endlessly inserted middlemen, is a corruption of morality,…
He talks about freedoms but not rights and he says that we deserve an early mark (which of course is his to give) … Though, we don’t actually get the early mark we deserve unless, unless we download his tracking app! His National Board says we must do this. His National Board, my lord. Have we corporatized our demockracy already? And, he talks of a magical thing called a commonwealth which it is unlikely that a man such as our…
Well here we are. All the good souls, us beautiful people, awaking on another sunny day on the east coast of the land of Nod. The news today – so my wet dog says – is, Special powers. Ha! Special powers from whom? Where? We have a suspended parliament where do ‘special powers’ come from? Show us the docs, the minutes .. who ran this through who? Was there any dissent? By whom? Was it allowed? I don’t believe it…
Furphy Tayor’s been cleared! Thats right, Pistol Pete’s cops say there’s no point in investigating just where he got the forged docs from, or in fact, even bothering to find out if there may be some dirty little squad of parliamentary secretaries, lying lefties or, perhaps, even a king’s butler or two, shimmying about and falsifying public information. This must be a welcome relief for Furphy … rather tiresome having to keep one’s hands up above the table for all…
