Why MDMA? Cause we don’t like alcohol! We don’t do Ice and we don’t do heroin. We like to relax and have fun and we like to do so peacefully … And, we like to feel well the next morning. Thats not to say that on occasions we don’t overdo it, thats not to say, that on occasions, even the best of us don’t get ripped off and buy bad drugs, but … We don’t like the registered violence that…
? Its a question mark; a mark of ignorance. Usually preceded by a collection of words, it signifies that a question has been asked. Its true that it does not require, in itself, that the preceding collection of words should be answered, though, generally, when one sees this little symbol one jumps to give it an answer. An answer gives the little symbol some dignity .. even to a collection of words that appear to be undignified. So you see…
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…
Such a wonderful World, such a lucky country … I see the Kings decided that its okay for his charity to feed all those hungry Aussies his ministers decrees have thrown out onto the streets with no recourse to .. well, government aid. Shame he couldnt get away with his neoliberal bidding process on a thing like poverty, as he appears to have done with Human Rights and Dignity. What’s gone wrong? Surely the recent massive overreaction to State Security…
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,…
Australian Values? What are Australian Values? Who judges? Are they Peter Dutton’s or Julia Gillard’s values? Are these values Christian Porter’s or Caroline Chisholm’s? Are they Ned Kelly’s or those that threw up the stockade at Eureka’s values? Are they the values of Scott Morrison or the values of Stan Grant? Are they Fred Hollow’s or the values of those thrown ashore at Gallipoli’s? Who judges? Are they the values of John Howard or the values of Gough Whitlam? Who…
Why is neglect not cruelty? I mean, it’s not hard to see that living in an age that prays to gold, how man can ignore anything that falls outside their narrow scope. How we can build little pink bubbles & shore them up with false value. Anything, anything we can use to deny the physical realities of the tangent world – the world that is; from wherever it’s viewed, common to all beings – we snatch at. The thicker the…
I see our Foreign Affairs Dept has prevented an Aussie Senator – one of our elected representatives – from going to have a look at whats going on behind the scenes in our Penal Resort on Nauru .. they say these ‘transitory humans’ are none of Australia’s business! They’re in transit twixt Heaven and Hell … Don’t they wish! They’re in paradise, lost to paradise and moving on. Now, from where I view this World of ours – and I…
“This is where I think in a real national family, the government puts their arm around them, the community puts their arm around them, and carries them through the rest of their life.” – Paul Keating. Well, I’m an unabashed fan of old Paul … Here I take it, he’s talking about using the super-annuation of us that die before we get to use it, on those who hang about to the bitter end. What does happen to the super-annuation…
So, were worried about separating kids from their mums and dads now … a couple a days after we all got together and had another day of false apologies. We are a shameful lot. Hollow Men (& women!) … … And we secretly bring a few kids here into our pure and noble country from our penal resort out in the Pacific .. jumping our pristine shores to keep Pistol Pete happy. Why? So they aren’t subjected to prosecution for…
