What possible reason can Australia have to move our embassy in Israel from beautiful down town Tel Aviv .. on the beach .. to Jerusalem? What possible benefit can this be to us here in the Lucky Country? Sounds downright dangerous. To the man in the street it appears sheer insanity. Inanity. I can’t believe that it’s only about a petty cling to power by the King and his brood of vipers … Surely not? I mean it can’t be…
Ahh, fluff. I’ll get howled down for this one as well, as usual. What is the go with the aboriginal people and rubbish? Why, wherever I go, beautiful or ugly places, city & country, mountain & beach, why do they teach their children to chuck their discarded fluff out of the car windows? I’ve watched a few lovely kids playing in the trees today – mum and dad sitting about having a smoke – then just as we’re all ready…
Horror, Horror Shock Shock* It’s a shocking thing. Today I’ve had to watch two groups (couples both) rummaging through the garbage bins here at a road side rest stop – coke, bits of Macca’s, my old hommus etc – right now there’s a fella here eating my old hommus while his mate upends the other bin. This I’d imagine is a direct result of Christ Porter’s ‘Stick of Dignity’ & his Cash-Cow Welfare system. The vehicle they live in comes…
Just as I was resting up for the rest of Mental Health Week, the King endorses Corporate Advertising on OUR Opera House – this is outrageous! Outrageous – the whole worlds for sale (by those who don’t own it!) & we can’t even look after our refugees, the mentally ill, the old and the sick. Outrageous! We can’t give our children an equitable & equal education – Outrageous! What’s this event he’s trying to sell us? One of the biggest…
Once upon a time I wasn’t the type of person who got ripped off … It wasn’t possible I’m too proactive, always a jump ahead of the game. Or so I’ve been in my past lives. Now, everyone wants to rip me off. It’s a condition of Neo-liberalism of course, something to be proud of it seems, something to boast about to your mates. Once the vendor of their swollen goods finds out that I have a condition – an…
Mate we don’t recommend you go off the main road. Well, four years ago you gave away maps with just that recommendation. I think it was called nature tourism .. and it’s not exactly like I dont look like I don’t know what I’m doing out there, in our nature, now does it? It’s closed now, he says, we dont maintain it anymore. Well you never did anyway. Forestry did. It’s dangerous it’s not safe, it’s for the public good…
What do you do when you find a law that’s on your side? You exploit it! A wobbly old fella reeled into the Narrabri Info Shack on Sunday morning, he’d been expelled from the Wee Waa Showground – apparently because the kids needed it for their kids little Pony Club and sick wobbly old single men are considered to be a danger to the kids these days. I was waiting to see if I could exchange an old book for…
One of the consequences of getting in early and picking a nice secluded spot away from the noise and bustle in the world of free camping is no matter how hard you try not to, you must share. And no matter how small and secluded and away from the the moving city your spot is, if the moving city likes the look of your spot then the moving city is coming over to join you. It’s an exercise in sharing….
Ahh, I moved, RN. Suicide repeats. The new approved ABC .. no one there, employees cost money. Miss Mandy’s discussing trade – the trade in ideas! She doesn’t have many herself these days. She never really did, she was a senator for libertarianism under Little Johnny. Today also she says, ‘ .. if you don’t envy someone with more, a better position in society than you, then there is something wrong with you.’ !? I think that was her thought…
When cowards hide in authority, the world is lost. The wounds allow to fester, like a splinter beneath the skin. The wound becomes inflamed and wars begin as the red rises. We have looked to our elders in their higher wisdom. Here, in this example you find the truth (that must couple with understanding and comfort) of what authority means. It is where we look to those of the greater wisdom of our environment. For we seek to learn. It…
