Forget Conciliation And Arbitration, Just Bring In The Stormtroopers, Wiping Out Unions Is A Form Of Cultural Genocide
Back from Yum-Cha and all that goes with it, was good in the city today, that old original Yum-Cha down in China Town that runs right through, followed the Dragon and bungers for the New Year, didn't get a little red envelope, more's the pity, always good, and then missed out on all the news, the violence, 'twas a killing at the Casino of sorts, and a Wharfie Farcical War Rock and a bus window, and a woman Stormtrooper in hospital, and a legal threat, so the Industrial Relations Policy of Idiots is in vogue now, beat them down tactics, forget conciliation and arbitration, just bring in the Stormtroopers, that's supposed to get them votes, what a tragedy... What a travesty... Wiping out Unions is a form of Cultural Genocide, and we're always, perpetually on strike against Cultural Genocide...
Get Together And Say Unless You Pay Us Fairly, So We Can Live Decently, We Wont Allow Anyone To Work For You
The Union movement since the industrial revolution started has dragged a decent living out of the owners, managers, directors, the bosses who always pay them as little as possible, crumbs to their labourers, they think they deserve a lot more themselves and try to give as little as possible, so what do worried workers do, they get together and say Unless you pay us fairly so we can live decently we wont allow anyone to work for you, that's a strike until there is an agreement, until the powers of both sides of the equation equalise in an agreement to get the work done...
Killing Off The Union Power Is An Obsession With This Bossy Class Of People, It's Like A Religious Crusade, 'Twas Ever Thus...
Killing off the union power is an obsession with this bossy class of people, it's like a religious crusade, 'twas ever thus... Once a group of people get riches and control and power they inevitably gorge themselves... Houie always points out the Unions are your only hope, makes all the difference when someone answers the boss back...
A New Code Of Conduct Being Put About By The Bosses Of Competition, Countries Who Sign Up To It Lose Their Autonomy
Speaking of which there is a New Code Of Conduct being put about by the Bosses Of Competition, countries who sign up to it lose their autonomy, was said on Our ABC Radio National it's a big issue when it hits the fan and these Tories might be signing it all away, ironic with their UN Conspiracy theories, to bow to the global capitalists...
What If Those Atlantic Currents Start Doing El Nino Flip Flops, A New Pattern In The Atlantic, And Freeze Europe...
That Larsen Ice Shelf crack off has another eventuality, like there is a warming above normal in that part of the ocean, so a warm current might be running, and it's part of the Atlantic, those European coastlines are warmed by a current, what if those Atlantic currents start doing El Nino Flip Flops, a new pattern in the Atlantic, and freeze Europe... The Skate Across the Channel Due to Competition, Competition... Maybe they'll never lift a finger to defend Nature till they get bashed over the head with the weather...

The Little Apology For A PM Opens Up The ConCon Laying Down What He Wants To Do Anyway, Regardless
The Little Apology For a PM opens up the ConCon laying down what he wants to do anyway, regardless, searching for words to make it more dull, what an inspiration... Then why have it at all, cause he stumbled into it on the run in the last campaign, and then tried to duck it, with the Un-Australian postal vote... A Jovial and enthusiastic Kim Beazley demonstrates immediately why he is approved as preferable PM, he's persuasive and correct... Pushes the Appointed President model with a simple timetable that makes sense...
A Selection Of Humanity With Opposing Views, Ostensibly Intelligent But Following Different Logics...
The Luvly Old Parliament House, beautiful colours and greens and golden browns of real wood, it should have been copied for the House on the Hill no one likes... Green seats with all the familiar faces, Malcolm TurnBull impresses, seems there's the sledge hammer steam roller of the Pros over the Amateurs, it's novel though seeing and hearing a selection of Humanity with opposing views, ostensibly intelligent but following different logics... Interesting that out of it comes shows of hands which accept and reject so fast... The interesting issues are the Preamble wording and the Bill of Rights talk, that's the gutsy stuff... They'll horse-trade an Appointed President for a Preamble of Rights and Acknowledgments, I would expect...
Every Time They Play Up They Get Smacked... The New World Discipline...
Meanwhile they're polishing their barrels with Saddam in their sights again, vision of piercing bombs to incinerate biological and poisonous weapons bunkers... Is Saddam just kept there in Sanctions as an example? Like Cuba too, every time they play up they get smacked... The New World Discipline...
A Push Polling Question, Do You Want To Vote For The President?
A little thought on the Elected President, it's a push polling question, Do you want to vote for the President? And the eyes glaze and the image of their patriotic ideal forms in their vision... Yes of course, but what if it's someone who you loathe gets in? One of Them? Who're ya gonna call?
1998 February 3, Tuesday, 20:40
He Commands A Huge Swag Of Votes, He Has The Public Support He Tells Them
Faces in the ConCon crowd, there's burnt up Queensland ones, like pumpkins, and old ones, Lord Mayors who want their own Kings back, and young ones with hope, and determined ones with pink streaks, but then there's another face, the rich young handsome suave smart banker, and man of money, and the picture of success, putting his saivour fair upon all those around him, and he commands A Huge Swag Of Votes, he Has The Public Support he tells them, I got more votes than you and this is a democracy, and they say You arrogant bastard, and he is, and he smiles in grudging acceptance, but this perception of Malcolm's for the best outcome for Australia is more important, out of his Patriotism, 'Tis Indeed, and he presses his case, but I luv him, Malcolm is so good to have there. Can you imagine it without Malcolm, he's part of the furniture now, if you've got any well polished furniture that is... Malcolm's like one of them Lovable Rogues you have for President in the USA... Clintonesque he is...
A Landslide Then For Malcolm, With Paul Keating As His Vice President And Then Two Wimmin
Well my vote is for Malcolm, he's make the best President by far, head and shoulders and everything else above the rest, Malcolm for Inevitable President, it's Ok I've got the only vote, he's the only one who reads it... A landslide then for Malcolm, with Paul Keating as his Vice President and then Two Wimmin, the Male P H says Wot's Gender Equality? Cripes be like an Aussie Royal Family, President Bloke with Vice President Sheila, and President Sheila with Vice President Bloke, Maybe alternate then, MF one year, then FM next year etc... Same for the High Court every fourteen years, that's two lifetimes...
Internet, And In The Opinion Polls, And Instead Of Voting At The Booths, It's Who Wins The Opinion Polls, The Inevitable President
Maybe whatever they do there'll be a vote on the Internet media, and in the Opinion Polls, and instead of voting at the booths, it's who wins the Opinion Polls, the Inevitable President, that's who we'd get, and it would be an image crafted in Media... It is now...
Who Is That Mysterious Guest You Invite In Every Night To Watch And Listen To?
What does the Constitution say about the Media and it's influence? Who is that mysterious guest you invite in every night to watch and listen to? Eh? Who? Did you elect the guest?
He'd Be A King Or She'd Be A Queen, Nothing Like Turning Back The Clock...
They had to listen to the drafters of the rules doing the codification, couldn't see an end to it, like how many scenarios are there to anticipate, if the PM gets a bad Twitch is that grounds for dismissal? Just a Little Twitch would do if ya ask me. So then they said no rules, or maybe some rules with a bottomless pit beneath the last one, well what about the senate being able to dismiss? Shall we kill off the Senate anyway, bloody unrepresentative swill where Tassie gets 10 seats same as NSW? You'll never kill off the Senate in a referendum, so then we have this person popularly elected and there's unwritten rules, wonder what he could do? He'd be a King or She'd be a Queen, nothing like turning back the clock...
1998 February 4, Wednesday, 10:23
Thinking On Patriotic Flags And Symbols And The ConCon Designing A President
Thinking on patriotic flags and symbols and the ConCon designing a President, and then images, take Ayre's Rock, previously Uhlaroo, and now once again, Uhlaroo, it has a flat top, a few people can make a difficult climb to the top, but once they're up there they're all on the same level...
Having The Power In The House Then Is What We Have Here In Australia All Flattened Out At The Top, Like Uhlaroo...
So imagine that Uhlaroo represents the People of Australia like Colourful Crystals in Rock, solid and together, Ha, and on that Flat Top are the Elected Members, a big bunch from all over the country, all there together, all equally voted to the Top of the Heap, the Parliament... And have to decide amongst themselves on what to do about things, there isn't a single person above them all... So imagine The House on the Capitol Hill then, same thing, the Members supported by the Shoulders of their Supporters, Parties of People gaining the more Members, and the Mound represents all levels of support and opposition support... Having the Power in the House then is what we have here in Australia all flattened out at the top like Uhlaroo... They get together and Invite One Person, that they trust to hold, The Reserve Powers, to be the Head of State... They can also get someone else if that one goes wonky...
The Party System Underpins Those At The Top
The Party System underpins those at the top, it's evolved that way in the Australian 100 year history... And climbing up there to the top is over everyone else's backs, that's reality, and anyone can drag you back, should they want, but others may propel you on, and in the end they support their favourite candidates on top, they keep them there, without support they just sink back, but that flat top is nice idea...
So Uhlaroo Symbolises A Picture Of That Heap Of Aussie Humanity
Like the Rock itself the people within and on top are of different colours and political make-ups, it's a collective of votes, a lot of diversity which make up the whole, So Uhlaroo Symbolises a Picture of that heap of Aussie Humanity, It's a dangerous climb y'know, has a lot of slippery steps worn smooth, and some steep bits, so you don't deviate from the correct pathway... Can you have sex on the way up Houie? Oh my word yes, sex will be compulsory... So you get a cross-section of Aussie society, the top half and the bottom half... That's right Houie, the bottom half have to be looked after, and led to a decent life for the good of the whole, not an ill-informed headlessness... That's true sir....
This Flag's Even Simpler, The Golden Rock In The Middle Of A Green Australia... Make A Good Story For The Kiddies...
So make Uhlaroo the Symbol on the Flag, a Green Flag with a Golden Uhlaroo, it has Roo in the word as well... That's right, the Flag makes you think about what you do symbolise, spose, the Aboriginal Flag is so distinctive for them... The new flag was trubbling me, wanting Aboriginal Dots to represent the many little things making up the whole...Dots so kids could paint it, maybe we need one of those, but this flag's even simpler, the Golden Rock in the Middle of a Green Australia... Make a good story for the kiddies... But it would be ok to put your own kangaroos and other animals on it for occasion...

Could Be Official Commemorative Flags With Emblems For Different Events
So there could be Official Commemorative Flags with Emblems for different events, like one for the Olympics, and then one for the day when we Fix Up The Rivers... Avoid having people hurt by times moving on, dying for the flag with the Emblem on it, while someone else dies for another Emblem, and make for a diversity of grief, as well as joyful Emblems, but with the basic kiddies flag underneath...
The Green And Gold Uhlaroo Flag, And As Well They Can Have An Official Commemorative Flag To Clutch To Their Heart...
That old flag can be tucked away and still brought out on occasion, and will be anyway, everyone can have a flag which appeals to them in this diverse land, they can love the basic Emblem of Australia, the Green And Gold Uhlaroo Flag, and as well they can have an Official Commemorative Flag to clutch to their heart... This will of course not include any other nations flag and say 10% of the area, and be agreed upon in the Flat Top Parliament, Ha... The Green Flag's Gold Dome would also represent the Mound in Canberra, another flat topped symbol, you can go up on the roof and jump up and down to your hearts content...
ConCon Is Suffering From Information Overload, Lost Sheep, Then Along Comes Gareth And The Resolutions Committee...
The ConCon is suffering from Information Overload, so many papers to keep track of and some Sinkers Hand Holding for the Lost Sheep, then along comes Gareth and the Resolutions Committee... All the Ideas will be resurrected and put together and explained... Which is what the ARM's speakers did, We propose this, because... And it's all laid out, ARM have all the logic and realism on their side, in order to get their passions accepted, that's the way of convincing argument...
Prayer Doesn't Work For The Umpteenth Time
BTW prayer doesn't work for the umpteenth time as the lethal injection proves once again, there must be a pile of unanswered prayer around... So that pitiful clownish face of Ms Axe Wielding Carla Faye Tucker is no more than an image to haunt George Bush Jnr. at least, there she goes Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye...
1998 February 4, Wednesday, 14:30
Discontent Would Gravitate To The Reserve Power For Consideration
The Reserve Power Enigma, as against Codification, to have the Black Hole to attract the concerns and worries... Discontent would gravitate to the Reserve Power for consideration, and if there was a reason raised to wield that power responsibly, the issue would be discussed, everywhere in the Media Opinion, and Poll Driven once again, so the Reserve Power Use would always be fully questioned and examined, without trying to fit it too some prior definition in the coding, a lawyer's delight... But the actual Use of the Power, the decision to use the Reserve Power would be debated on it's own particular merits... Horses for courses...
Dismissal By House Majority... No Joint Sitting, And Let The Power Wielders Wear It In The Democracy Of The Next Election...
Having a rogue President removed by the Power of the House is best too, Dismissal by House majority...no joint sitting, and let the Power wielders wear it in the Democracy of the next Election... They are Responsible for it all, no one else... That's what they're all equally elected for after all... Just a matter of who gets in for the chop first, same as it is now, cept the President would know and might sack the Parliament.. Uh-Oh... President Resign Simultaneously? No President, no Government? Who's running the country? Could 2/3 Majority overrule their own sacking? Just asking...
Putting Of Names Forward For President, The Scrutiny That Would Be Applied
One interesting quandary beside the point is the putting of names forward for President, the scrutiny that would be applied, to begin with An Aura of Prestige, a person seduced with the honour, and the temptations to influence and advocate and demand, till the smearing starts and Demolition of Reputations becomes the Blud Sport... Another instance of when the ballot box only comes way at the end of being Publicly Chewed Up And Spat Out, put on trial and executed in the Media Spotlight... Who would put their names forward in such an event? Who would reject being nominated?
Would Take A Lot Of Convincing Away From The ARM...
Eddie McGuire was clear and fair and challenging, said OK I think we've got it right in the ARM and there's these other ideas, well then put them together and show how they'll work, he had a reasonable and good perspective to reserve and await and consider but would take a lot of convincing away from the ARM... I think so too...
The Statuesque Aboriginal Lois O'Donohue Lecturing The Cross-Section Of Australia On Their Behaviour And The Theatrics
And the favourite image that will remain with me, of the statuesque Aboriginal Lois O'Donohue lecturing the Cross-Section of Australia on their Egos and Behaviour and the Theatrics, Professor Craven WA Lawyer hasn't won me over, not so smart really, takes the doom and gloom too far... Shooters have PEP above it all in a neat clean and tidy Dictatorship to clean things up ethnically and all spose... Bow Tie and Loudmouth suits O'Brien like that Tommy Pommy with the Fez... Geoffrey Blainey complaining of the Advocation of Issues and the Conscientiousness of Governor-General Sir William Deane and the conduits for public opinion they assumed... Nifty Nev took exception to the perceived slur... Ha...
Lois O'Donohue's Wish To Be Recognised, And A Respectful Prologue With Acknowledgment Of Aboriginal Habitation
But Lois O'Donohue is not relaxed, not like Some about the Republic... She wants changes now, soon as possible, to be recognised at the Olympics with a proper flag... And a Respectful Prologue with Recognition of Aboriginal Habitation... And to put things in The Next Century's Perspective there was Neville Bonner's Song in the Old Parliament House, like Gatjil Djakura's own words...
Only In The Senate Chamber The Greens Get A Decent Voice... Consultative Endless Tinkering, She Says It's Hopeless
And then out of all the babble comes the voice of the true sanity, Christine Milne the wonderful Greenie from Tassie, voiced the frustrating lock out from the Power, but that's why I have hopes for the Senate, and minority parties, it's only in the Senate Chamber the Greens get a decent voice... Consultative endless tinkering, she says It's hopeless and wants a Livewire President and the Constitution re-written to do Green things, but how to capture the vote, directly via the media filter... Hopeless indeed...
Christine Greenie Milne Lamented Losing A Wonderful Opportunity To Renew All Our Attitudes, And Be A Model To The World...
Christine Greenie Milne quoted some Alice In Wonderland at work in the Chamber, and she lamented losing a wonderful opportunity to renew all our attitudes, and be a model to the world... Well I agree wholeheartedly, but this Place is a Piece of WestWorld, a Dumbed-Down Democracy... Raising the level of debate to consider the long term future is dwarfed by mediocrity in the apathy and the cynicism... But Good on ya Christine Milne, she made the right noises...
1998 February 5, Thursday, 13:15
A Biased Judgment Against You... What Do You Do? Appeal To The Next Unstacked High Court?
Perception of Bias where you don't get a legal value judgment... The Ultimate Court makes a biased judgment against you... What do you do? Appeal to the Next Unstacked High Court? With a series of Tainted Judgments the Reputation of Justice smells through the whole judiciary, impeccability is barely enough... There is just the risk of Bias being present... It was Biased Judges who put their own victims away in the holocausts... And besides it is not wise for a High Court Judge to not exclude himself at least to have no taint... Well he's there judging if Aboriginals are getting a fair go, and he's already given opinions going against them, a suspicion of bias is enough they say, even if he is a straight bat, and he is of course, not made out of a picket fence, more of a compound...
Another Model, A Spirit Of Compromise
Another Aussie, Jason Yat-Sen Li, has another model, a spirit of compromise, a panel of gender balanced people are nominated in public forums, the 2/3 Majority approves of them as candidates, they get put to the people, the House Majority appoints and dismisses them... There you are, another option, has the element that the person is trusted Bi-Partisan by Parliament to hold the Holy Grail of the Reserve Power Enigmas... I was thinking about that too... How does a popular person react when the Parliament rejects them? Just slink away? While someone less popular gets anointed?
1998 February 5, Thursday, 19:42
One Option Only And The Words As Recommended By The ConCon
The Little Spring a Surprise says Ask them: If you do want a Republic do you want 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and then match that with the Status Quo, and Malcolm says Just one question thanks...Ask them of the Republic, and say This ConCon recommends this one method... No choice or ratings game, it will destroy the meaning of the vote... Fun ain't it... Malcolm said he wanted the one option only and the words as recommended by the ConCon, it has to be one only, I would vote Yes for a republic generically, but No to a popularly elected monarch, so there...
Uncharted Waters, Having This Capital C On The High Court Make His Own Decision To Qualify Himself?
The Lawyers say these are Uncharted Waters, having this Capital C on the High Court make his own decision to qualify himself? Should the High Court decide on the disqualification then? Seems a bit rich...
The New Century And The Monster Of The Media, The Little Stacker Of The Decks Putting Cronyism On Our ABC, Board...
Speaking of the New Century and the Monster of the Media, there is the Little Stacker of the Decks putting Cronyism Kroogha on the Our ABC, Board... The Tories explanation So the Public wont have to worry that it's LeftWing... jeeeesus... So along with the Crony Chairman to poison the Board, there is another political appointment, Right Wing Conservative So-Called Liberal Party ex-President, Packer's defacto, and Dog's Pal, and probably nods and smiles knowingly about Media Mogul's Tax Bills, which Murdoc-Media avoids paying all over the world it seems... And says For all the trouble we Tories cause, well, that's unfortunate... Yet walks on Public Streets we've paid for, and then picks up a Public Funded ABC, cheque as well... Seems unfair...
1998 February 5, Thursday, 22:13
Someone Who Never Opens The Bottle Of The Royal Prerogative, The Reserve Powers, It's Like A Genie
So pleased with the ConCon being on, it's a real buzz, all that high faluting fiddling with the Holy Grail, it's like the Black Hole, like an atom bomb in a football to toss around, but very carefully, they say look, Who can we trust to keep this thing bottled up, keep it plugged, someone who never opens the bottle of the Royal Prerogative the Reserve Powers... It's like a genie...
Everyone On The Same Level, They Draw Lines In The Rock, The Ground-Rules... They Have Several Circles
And the Uhlaroo Symbolism, to take it further up there on the Flat Top, everyone on the same level, they Draw Lines in the Rock, the Ground-Rules... They have Several Circles, and the President with the Holy Grail of Reserve Powers in his hands sits in one circle. And they say: Now don't put one foot outside that circle. The High Court sits over there in that other circle... The Big Circle has the Members of Parliament, all in together, the LeftWing, We're over here, The RightWing, they're over there... So everybody is told Now don't ever tread on our patch or any other circles, from inside or outside, or theirs. And they trust the President to:
Hold the Holy Grail and just sit there and
cut ribbons
until we can't govern ourselves,
then fire us, please...
What They Told The Old Royals Through History? Go Ponce About But Don't Ever Tread On Anyone's Toes In The Political Lines
So ain't that what they told the Old Royals through history? Go ponce about but don't ever tread on anyone's toes in the Political Lines, Just stay out of it... But when this Popular Elected Person sits there puffed up with glory he or she might open the bottle, let the Genie out, start dancing across the lines... Chop, next... It's a funny old world eh...
Without The Boss Up There In Head Office, They Got Together To Govern, From Amongst Themselves
History of the Aussie Method had
the Constitution for the new Federation drawn up under the Colonial Style of
the Times, the Office of the Head of State was set aside for the Absent
Monarch, the Royal Power of the Empty Office, the new House of Representatives
met and without the Boss up there in Head Office, they got together to govern,
from amongst themselves, the majority set up a little king, the Prime Minister
and his Departmental Ministers to Govern, the other side in Opposition set up
the mirror image to counter the Government, so with the Big Circle of the House
where all the Equally Elected Members were diffused with the Power amongst
themselves, they governed and opposed from within the House, and it's been
perfectly good, both power structures of the Alternative Governments are under
challenge from all the other Members... Imagine the Big Circle Of Power with a
little trickle off to the Head Office, a tiny circle of power on the Head of
State desk, for odd occasions the HOS comes in to work, like in a deadlock,
uncorks the bottle says, There shall be an Election, corks it up and
goes back out to the Garden Parties, in the House the Power forms the big
bubble, diffused through every member, some members give their power to their
leaders, so larger bubbles form within the House, a set of opposing bubbles,
while the Boss ain't there the Power is wielded in the House...
1998 February 6, Friday, 13:42
Being Typically Yobbo Australian, Like Those Two Characters Up In The Box In The Moppet Theartre...
With the Day of the Dickheads being the vogue, was funny, Malcolm describes the Characters interjecting and pointing fingers and loud-mouthing, and being rude, and being insulting, and being typically Yobbo Australian, were like those Two Characters up in the Box in the Moppet Theartre... Firstly we had Alfa's Family History, about a lot of fighting and killing queens and things, and demanding men in coats, then Bruce RSL Queeny moves that the new President must not have Dual Nationality... Spot on... Bye-Bye Pommy Lizzie...
The Extremist Voice That Catches The Attention And Disturbs The Peace...
The other Dickhead is the Dangerous Geronovsky, the Russian Contender for their Presidency, going to extremes over Iraq, saying as how they need atomic bombs to protect themselves... Look where Dickheads take you, it's bad enough being taken along to the Holy Market without going to war over it, but that's the Extremist Voice that catches the attention and disturbs the peace... And thank christ Bill Clinton is there... And not some RightWing Redneck...
Barry Jones, To Refocus The Debate At One Point Says, Hey, We're All Ethnic...
Then the Brilliant Barry Jones, and he is, to refocus the Debate at one point says, Hey, We're all Ethnic... which diffused things it seemed, cause talk had been of Symbolism, and this ConCon really was all about Symbolism, the changing images, no longer Colonial, moving to Cultural Diversity, then an Aboriginal voice pops up with I don't feel like I'm Ethnic... So truly the perception is that they are a special case...
We All Did What We Did To The Missing Neanderthals, So We All Have A Murky Past, And We Are All Truly Ethnic
However no one's perfect, when the Aboriginals arrived here and brought with them what Humans had done in Human History on Earth, it turns out We all did what we did to the missing Neanderthals, so we all have a murky past, and we are all truly ethnic wanderers and inter-minglers...
Need To Be Specially Treated
But I reckon the Aboriginal Civilisation pre-Colonial was far more in accordance with the Natural Health of the Land, Rivers, Sea and Air, and this Colonial Influx has destroyed their Standards and Culture and had performed a shameful genocide upon them, so the Aboriginals need to be specially treated to make up for it... Besides they are a lovely people who need help in this modern world where some people are still denying them their rights... The same as women need special treatment because they have the children, they should be assisted...
That Word God In The Preamble, And Proud Atheists In The Face Of These Mad Godlies... Perhaps In Lower Case?
Oh god it's that word God in the Preamble, and proud Atheists in the face of these mad godlies... Fundamentalism pops it's ridiculous head up, well being in Awe of the Unknown doesn't need to be couched in God, Christine Milne said a Spiritual Dimension is a suitable expression, the moral dimension of the xtians catcalling breaks out as usual, often... Pat O'Shane shows such indignation with the Right Wing Godly Rabble... And then perhaps god with out the almighty should be in lower case... god, a tiny little lower case god that isn't almighty, would be ok for the prevailing idjuts...
Our
generic god who isn't almighty,
thanks for everything you never did,
now go away, forever and ever,
amen...
1998 February 6, Friday, 19:46
The Persuasion Game In Drawing Out The Consequences, What Then? Ask The Questions They Find The Answers To
Out of it all there are the little heroes like Christine Milne, Mary Delahunty and even Wendy Machin, she seems to display a patient and considerate side, and knowing what's best, she's in the persuasion game in drawing out the consequences of the Direct Election Model, she does what I found as the only way, What then? Ask the questions that they find the answers to, as you take them down their own paths of discovery, they think up the reasoning themselves, it's amazing, the conversions coming across to ARM are evidence of the false paths being rejected, it's looking good...
The Young Woman Stood Up And Admonished The Bruce And Alf Moppets, Everyone Admonished Them, So What Do They Represent?
Some other good people too, an interesting new element where the young woman Bell stood up and admonished the Bruce and Alf Moppets, was excellent, just about everyone admonished them it seems, so what do they represent? Bossy Finger Pointing Rude Insulting Monarchists, as always? But that Old Chamber, Green Carpet and Golden Wood, housed the Attitudes Ages Sexes And Dispositions of quite a cross section... words between groups who would normally never speak, this is remedying many poor perceptions...
Airing, Honing, Bending, Hammering And Ear-Bashing An Idea Into Shape... Constitutional Change On A Massive Scale...
Inadvertently the Little Policy On The Run Twit has stumbled onto a winner, if not magnificent tactic, in airing, honing, bending, hammering and ear-bashing an idea into shape... It's Cajole and Persuade and Convince, and it's not over, the People's Convention Idea should be put to work on Constitutional Change on a massive scale...
1998 February 7, Saturday, 20:23
Snow At Nagano For The Winter Olympics Kick Off, Was Magic Kingdom Stuff, Being A Sucker For Patriotism
All that Traditional Japanese Clothing that came out for the snow at Nagano for the Winter Olympics kick off, was magic kingdom stuff, the giant logs from the forest raised to be the gateways to the Four Seasons. With entrance from the North South East and West, the tradition going way back... Those bells under those sweeping rooflines, in the pagodas, using the swinging log method, look at the trouble they went to with bell ringing once... Lovely Sound in those Bells and Gongs... that music, feels so patriotic sometimes, had it today with the Olympics opening in Japan, and they played that wonderful music, was fabulous, funny how my patriotic blood has been stirred up this ConCon Week...
That Muppet Reference At The Concon, Dear Oh Dear, If That Ain't Just What Houie And I do
Have a confession, that Muppet reference at the ConCon, dear oh dear, if that ain't just what Houie and I do, everyone secretly does you'd think, there is a TV there for Houie, and so I put it on to see the ConCon, and for the whole session they're enchanted with it, every speech and nuance and they really do the Muppet thing, another version of the Grumpy Blokes in the Boxes, we're a hundred thousand times worse than poor Alf and Bruce, and there all the others to pick on at the ConCon, like there's Flo too... Delicious time to vent your spleen... Everything the delegates say that's off, gets poo-poohed, and the good bits are all nodding, in wonderful agreement, and making tea, and pigging out something dreadful...
1998 February 8, Sunday, 14:29
President Bill Clinton Asking The Little Apology For A PM To Declare Another War On Iraq, To Remove The Threat
There's President Bill Clinton asking the Little Apology for a PM to declare another war on Iraq, which seems to be a tactical move to remove the threat of massively destructive weapons, fair enough, makes you realise what a King that President Clinton is, they have let the President have the Royal Prerogative and he Rules like a King, no one can Question him in Question Time like they can in Australia, where every sitting in Australia's Parliament can have the PM overturned...
Parliament, All Equally Elected, Far Better Way To Go, Australia Should Be The Model For The World,
The USA is really a Kingdom, here in Australia we've got no king, we only have Parliament, all equally elected, far better way to go, Australia should be the model for the world, Question Time is what it's all about... The Alternative Governments eyeball one another every day and scrutinise and pick... And Rant and Rave... People who think the wielding of that Power is going to be unchallenged at every turn are getting monarchical rule. And here in Australia there are all these Whingers about the Roughhouse it becomes at times of heated debate, and then at other times the heart and soul of the nation is brought out... That's the great thing about passion in our Aussie System, they can shout at one another directly in the eye... And shed a tear at others... In the USA all eyes are on the President...
Our Country Is Run By A House Of Representatives, The USA Is Run By A Royal King And Queen...
In the USA the President is always in veneer, that's where the American Constitution is wrong, they made a terrible mistake to let the President have the Reserve Powers of the Crown, they should have kept the power in the House of Representatives, we did in Australia, it's a far better system than having a One Man Band with his Appointees, all un-elected, our Appointees come from and through the House, and appointees can go too, our country is run by a House of Representatives, the USA is run by a Royal King and Queen... They just change them every few years... You still end up under a mad king sooner or later, like Ronnie, you don't have the same risk of getting a completely mad House, anyone who calls Parliament a Mad House has rocks in their head... So the Little Aussie PM goes and consults with the House before he commits to war, thank Lower Case god for that...
The Irony Of All Ironies From The Aussie Public Opinion Polls Is The Model Of Direct Election Getting Monarchical Power Back
And so the irony of all ironies coming from The Aussie Public Opinion Polls is the Republican Model of Direct Election getting monarchical power back, read maniacal... What all that bloody Alf Medals Garland history was for, to get rid of King and Queenly Power, keep them out of the governing picture, has to stay put behind us... What a travesty it is, all based on misunderstanding the way it works, rather than what it's called... Australia already is a Republic with Power in One House, the USA is a monarchy with Royal Powers vested in a President... They're mad...

The USA Was Formed By Europeans Escaping The Monarchies And Papacies
Just as well the ARM are sticking to their principles. 'Tis a good thing this Freedom from Monarchy, like Freedom from Religion too... The USA was formed by Europeans escaping the Monarchies and Papacies, looks like the less well informed Direct Electors at the Concon are falling for the two card trick, Australia never should go down that madness path again...
To Lose The Best Prime Minister Ever, Paul Keating, Was Due To The Aussie Power In The House System
The greatest disappointment in the Aussie System was to lose the best Prime Minister ever, Paul Keating, that was due to the Aussie Power in the House System, if the Direct Elect President/King model was in vogue he'd still be there perhaps, but with a hostile house, it just doesn't work as well, there is no ambiguity with having the Little Reduction of Workers Rights there though, more's the pity... And with Paul Keating the sensible wisdom of the ARM Appointment Model was Simply the Best...

Like With The Dismissal, Where Fate Brought Politics Up, And People Took Sides On Things, Wasn't That Don's Party?
There's something funny going on in this debate, wonder if it's one of those watershed exposures going on in the whole country, like with The Dismissal, where fate brought politics up in peoples faces, and people took sides on things, wasn't that Don's Party? And now this President Elect debate has people saying things out loud, only to discover that someone they love, or like, or barely tolerate, or despise, are actually on the other side of the debate, do you reckon there's little voyages of discovery being taken... Little wedges hammered into relationships forever, or alliances for life...
3 People To Choose Between, So One Would Be Labor, And One Would Be Tory Conservative, And One Would Be A Greeny
Looks like the 2/3 rule is in anyway, that's all that matters, all the fuss will die away when the only nominations are OK'd, I would still vote spose, you'd have 3 people to choose between, so one would be Labor, and one would be Tory Conservative, and one would be a Greeny, they'd have to pick the Greeny to be safe, besides the Greeny would be the only one possible to get 2/3, sounds pretty weird really...
So I am Over The Other Side Of The Generation Gap, Jeeesus... Who Would Have Thought It...
The generation gap, been seeing it more and more, the young opinions aren't going to give in, they'll rebel, and reject it all, they do too, a sweeping Overrule It All, but they don't follow the CUoA link... So just a few expected hits, and by dropping opinions on those GuestBooks means there is a desire for opinions to stay held rather than be changed, the perception of the fuddy-duddy it is... So I am over the other side of the generation gap, jeeesus... Who would have thought it... How do you ever ease the process, the only way is self revelation, ask enough undermining questions till their stand collapses...
Cutting Ribbons Is Rubbing Shoulders With The Establishments All Over The World, Trade Fairs And Corruption Attempts
The job of the Aussie Umpire UnWeilding Referee President is to be ceremonial in the main, and to be the king in the Constitutional Crises, but Cutting Ribbons is rubbing shoulders with the Establishments all over the world, putting on garden parties and hosting dinners and dreaming up speeches, and staying on the straight and narrow, means moving in the Realms of Big Business, Trade Fairs and Corruption Attempts, so it's just the job for me, Ha, no it's a specialised hodgepodge job and being popular with the Aussie electorate as some sort of hero figure, the king with no power, how can they be one and the same... A Split Personality... How about the vetting? Want to be vetted in public? Sounds revolting...

Three Candidates With A String Of Ands And Ors And Points, The Design Where You Add Another Twist For Every Turn...
The ARM is saying to the Direct Electors, Come up with a workable model, and they now have Three Candidates with a string of ands and ors and points, the design where you add another twist for every turn... Oh well, a few more will realise soon... Nifty Nev gave the example of New Zealand changing their System, because the people popularly supported the change, well they'd support Free Ice-Cream too if asked, remember how the NZ Parliament disappeared for months to make the pacts?
Today Will Be The Day Of Acrimony Again At The Concon, The Timetable Is Squeezing Out The Direct Election
Spose today will be the Day of Acrimony Again at the ConCon, the timetable is squeezing out the Direct Election cause they can't come up with a model that has the guarantees, they have to codify the System to do it, they can't find the Wisdom of Solomon to do it, it's a luvly thought, we'd all luv to Elect Our Favourite, but what are the Rules? The Direct Electors can't write an acceptable set of Rules... No one can...

The Little-Chief-Of-War-For-All-Of-Us Tells The Commander In Chief, The Governor-General Sir William Deane, What To Do
As another incidence of the current conventions is the Iraqi Commitment where the Little-Chief-of-War-For-All-Of-Us tells the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, the Governor-General Sir William Deane, what to do, exercising power through the Head of State, and not by the Head of State... So we're going to war... Under what flag this time? The UN flag? Or the Stars and Stripes, or the Uhlaroo flag, ha...
A Broader Support? No? Bad Luck Indeed, There Is No God, Another One For The Unanswered Prayer Pile...
The Hon Vernon Wilcox CBE QC (Safeguard the People) is at the other end of the competency scale, far be it for him to say so, but must have a mantelpiece something like Mr Doug Sutherland (No Republic-ACM), Lloyd Mr Lloyd Waddy RFD, QC is an ARM plant... After all that blustering, the Waddy words are on side... The Most Reverend Peter Hollingworth AO, OBE and his sad story of running into the Power Blocks, it's bad luck... No support is a unorganised voice from the wilderness, not even a seconder, a broader support? No? Bad Luck indeed, there is no god, another one for the unanswered prayer pile...
The Committee, And The Voting Bypass, Like Sheep Through The Gates...
Ms Andrea Ang was Absolutely Fabulous and followed on from of the ghosts of the past... Professor Trang Thomas AM for President... Gareth The Hon Gareth Evans QC Welsh MP from The Committee, and the voting bypass, like sheep through the gates... Those sheep sit over there in that corral while these sheep decide which way to go, then join up for a final fling at it...
Tactical Voting... So The Monarchists Have To Decide Whether To Support One Of The Models Or None, Stay Out Of It...
Thank goodness for Senator the Hon John Faulkner to expose their tactical voting as they see fit, Aha, like in the early rounds they got a 25% leeway allowed... So the Monarchists have to decide whether to support one of the Models or none, stay out of it... The model the Monarchists put through will be their choice to train wreck the ARM model... Don't think I would trust their choice, but then they might support ARM, bet they do... So the State Of The Nation rests in their hands??? Not with Gareth Evans of the silent Welsh, Gareth will think of something, he's really running it... They're not used to democracy this mob...
The Power Blocks Will Be Discussing Things, Eyeballing It Out
Now the Power Blocks will be discussing things, eyeballing it out, the Direct Electors have to realise they've missed the boat by not having the answers, So Professor George Winterton talks to Malcolm Mr Malcolm Turnbull (Australian Republican Movement)... And then the Little Apology for A PM broadly supports Malcolm... Some talk of a Direct Electors walkout, not too smart in a democracy, a good move is to have this list of referrals of dropped out amendments, a good move to keep the dream alive... Will be a long list it seems...

Voicing The Cultural-Diversity, Doing The ConCon And Dancing...
What the goodness is going on. All these people you never knew are suddenly voicing the Cultural-Diversity, doing the ConCon and dancing...
What Makes This Place Have A Soul That Worries About What's Best As Well As What Would Be Nice..
|
Miranda Devine, she reckons there's a power clique and don't trust the people... Well there is, and it's what makes this place have a soul that worries about what's best as well as what would be nice... |
|
The rebellious young, was it Dannalee Bell? A young teenage girl dislikes the grass mound and the power in there, where is she gonna put it? Dannelee Bell isn't an old person singing god save the queen she's not into that... but she's into consumerism? |

Victoria Manetta army officer, was duty service and commitment, to the way it is... but she meant it... whatever it was... |

Following The Long Established Practice Of Doing Up The Bosses Office, As Time Goes By
Talking to Houie about the Enigma Of The Missing Boss, they're just following the long established practice of doing up the Bosses Empty Office, the glass box that was the office of the head of state, where the queen never was present, so was completely out of the picture, just fixing the office design without it mattering too much who was ever in there so changing the look of the Bosses Office, dress it up like Australia, take down her portrait, and put up an Aboriginal Dot Painting... But making sure whoever has the Office does nothing, never has to come to work, everything is done for him/her on his/her behalf, and through his/her in and out tray... The Holy grail of the Reserve Powers stays bottled on the desk... The Occupant is out, just wanders around cutting ribbons... Make it Australian looking, give it an Aussie flavour that's all, we don't want people sticking a monkey in there is all...
The Consensus Of State Has Arrived, The Moment When The Signatures Were Read Out, The Aussie Cross-Section Was There
A signed model, all the Big Names on it, Aha, done... stitched up, the ARM has Aboriginal Dr Lois Louwidja O'Donoghue on it, so finally it's Lois and Gatjil Djerrkura who lead on the Bi-Partizan Model, and the young Austral-Asian-ABC Girl, Ang and the young Austral-Asian boy Jason Yat-Sen Li, and the Aboriginal runner Ms Nova Peris-Kneebone, and the purple shirts of the Church, and Bishop Pell of the Catholics, and Archbishop Wotsa HollingsWorth of xtians, and the Labor Men And Wimmin, and the Lousy Libs finally signing up in the shadows, and the consensus of state has arrived, that was the moment then when the signatures were read out, the Aussie Cross-Section was there, a tear in the eye for the young ones, they've got a new country now with a proper new image constituted at it's heart...
The Bi-Partizan Turnbull/Keating Model... Congratulations Boyos, It's Spot On, Simply The Best...
The Bi-Partizan Turnbull/Keating Model is what it is, congratulations Boyos, it's spot on, Simply the Best... But best respected for having the Power in the House... Most desirable if ya ask me but no one ever does... Better stick with Bi-Partizan Model... The Uhlaroo Method nevertheless... I signed up with a tear, such a moving moment, would love to be there, imagine jumping up and down on the Mound, maybe this should be Foundation Day... They must be hugging and clapping and cheering and crying, a little troop of people marching in to sign up, each one welcomed...
It's Still Australia But Has Just Renewed It's Soul And Values And Matured And Faced Reality
Maybe all the Monarchists ought to sign up too, make it unanimous... After all it's the very essence of how the Power is applied, you have to agree with it or be treasonous in the long run, you have to give your renewed allegiance, it's still Australia but has just renewed it's soul and values and matured and faced reality, it's the Celtic renewal where you toss your bundle of troubles into the fire and become renewed... So the one who ought to sign up is Bruce Grumpy Ruxton, when he signs they should get a picture of that for history... Natasha will talk him in to it perhaps...

Stirred The Dragon, And The Union Movement Will Raise Up Now And Spread, Capitalism Needs Some Competition...
The Unions are waking up from the latest Prick from Wreath's Wharfie Wars, he's stirred the Dragon, and the Union movement will raise up now and spread like wildfire in the fight, maybe stir some Global Unionism against the Exploiters, hope it wakes up properly, and begins to get the standards right... Capitalism needs some competition...
So Now It Will Be We The People Instead Of Whereas The Queen, Good On Ya Gareth, Ha...
A second Preamble cause the first Preamble was in the Act but outside the Constitution having been introduced in English History... So now it will be We The People instead of Whereas The Queen, good on ya Gareth, ha...
There Was Someone Putting Atheists Down, Well Atheists Are Stuck For Words...
Then we leave that Almighty stuff out... Yippee, there was some anti-atheist talk too, someone was on about humanists and smearing them, weird, was on a crusade that one, there's so many voices raised in tolerance and multi diverse support but there was someone putting Atheists down, well Atheists are stuck for words...
The Preamble Is For The Values We Argue About Socially, In School, In The Village Malls, It Should Be In There
Now it's If the values flow through the Constitution? Will the values go on? No says Gareth, and he seconds the suggestion, ha, it was him. Haha, that's what they were waiting for, cut them off at the pass... Jesus, the things that can done in the name of values, but can they be tested? Against what? The preamble can't restrict the Parliament, nothing can, but the Constitution Clauses judged in the High Court, but then what do the High Court judge it by other then with all of the above, plus anything else you can dream up...So saying these values should be taken into account, like free Ice Cream would be eaten spose, I reckon the preamble is for The Values We Argue About Socially, in School, in the Village Malls, should be in there, as they are today, the Legal fights would be between the bits further on, and beware of incorporating the scriptures, only for obeying a bit, it's got to be Aspirational for the Ideals, and has to be Conflict Resolving in the Cultural Diversity, it has to say everyone gets a fair go that's all, now try and define that...
Was Ludicrous Said Malcolm, Was Putting The Flag On Trial Before There Was Even A Challenger...
Oooo Gareth versus that Whitlam Firer, he's a Sir David Dismissal Thomas, he missed out getting the flow through effect of the preamble by missing out altogether... the flag and the coat of arms shit it was... Yippee the flag was lost, ha another sweet one, was ludicrous said Malcolm, was putting the flag on trial before there was even a challenger, was ridiculously out of order said Nifty Nev... Well there's the Uhlaroo flag...
Will You Stay As Our Queen In Queensland? And She Says I Only Act On The Advice Of My Prime Minister Tony Blair, So Ask Him
The Colonial States, the colonial hangover, should scrap the whole thing, and put in River Region Catchments, stuck with Stupid Pommy lines ruled across a map... So the Queen has to be asked, Will you stay as our Queen in Queensland? And she says I only act on the advice of my Prime Minister Tony Blair, so ask him, So Tony will be asked if the Queen can stay as Queensland's Queen and Tony says Well she's really our Queen and not your Queen really, you're even further down the commoners list than we are... So in Queensland they'll have to do something about it off their own bat, don't ask Joh...
The Bi-Partizan Model Pops Up... So We Have Sheep... Being Conciliatory But Look What They've Done To The Countryside
Day 8 the Summary, the Bi-Partizan Model pops up... Jeff swanned in, Republican Broad Agreement, and the ACM will vote as a block against every model, a solution which saves face then, aren't they funny, it is like sheep with them... so we have sheep... being conciliatory but look what they've done to the countryside, just can't help it...

The Holy Grail Genie In The Bottle Will Be "Incorporated By Reference" Or "Continue To Exist"
And the ConCon went on, capturing the minds, specially mine, but the little anecdotes pile up, is a fabulous part of history, and another one the Reserve Powers amendment, the Holy Grail Genie in the Bottle will be "Incorporated by Reference" or "Continue to Exist"...
The Little PM Has Insisted On A Furfy Vote Within The Convention? The Model Against The Status Quo... Why?
There's a furfy as well, the ConCon was to recommend a Republican Model to be put in a Referendum, now everyone votes in the referendum to go to the Republic or remain unchanged, the Little PM has insisted on a furfy vote within the Convention? The model against the Status Quo... Why? So what? It's the result of the Referendum that will count...
All In One In On These Big Things...
Well this is just a wish, but it would be a good thing that there was a unanimous acceptance from the convention, all in one in on these big things...
1998 February 13, Friday, 10:58
The Diversity Discloses The Adversity So Close To Home... There Were A Lot Of Strange Bedfellows So To Speak...
Consumed by the ConCon, I barely had time to come up for air... There are times when the diversity discloses the adversity so close to home... Well Bishop Pell put the motion for the Bi-Partizan Appointment Republic and very well said, cept for his accolades for Not-so-sure-bet-Jeff, so there were a lot of strange bedfellows so to speak... What a bugger it is when the bluddy Archbishop says it all so well, how are ya sposed to pile accolades upon them, bloody hell, but seems Pell did do a job in his speech...
Speeches Ran On Into One Another, All The Colours And Hues And Smudges, 'Twas All: I Believe Dah De Dah De Dah
The speeches ran on into one another, all the colours and hues and smudges, 'twas all: I Believe dah de dah de dah, some warning of dire threats, some waxing lyrical for future generations, and some carrying on the Paul Keating humour, In the race of life always back self interest cause you can be sure it's trying...

Phil Cleary and Pat O'Shane took it to heart, but had nothing on paper...Moira Rayner had it on paper, but no one would read it... |
|
Another arrogant Dog act, dropped one on Malcolm... But Malcolm merely said Yes everything can be ignored by Parliament, at their peril... As it should be ... |
|
Arch Bishop Hepworth cheered on by Father Flemming the other Religious Raver... You can hear the weirdness come through in the words of these other fundamentalists though... |

Peris Kneebone had been to 29 countries and this was the best one... |

Gareth Magic Evans said: If I prayed, I'd pray, that this goes through... |

Moved by Malcolm Turnbull the Father of the
Republic, |
My Choice For King And Queen Of The ConCon Were Malcolm Turnbull And Christine Milne
Well my choice for King and Queen of the ConCon were Malcolm Turnbull and Christine Milne, the Republic being that first snick, from here the renewal of the Constitution could be opened up, this is the first small step, it's a long road to get this way of living turned from being a runaway horse, you have to turn it at the top and they've done it... Christine Milne has the future vision, and Malcolm Turnbull did the job... It's only true patriots put the big picture first... Another tear is shed for the Birth of the Republic...
A Little Bit Of Power Thrust Down On The Ground From The Big House To Thrash Around With
Makes you appreciate being an Aussie, being in on the Convention, was fascinating, entertaining, interesting, amusing, and historic, was quite an event, the whole thing had a little Bit Of Power thrust down on the ground from the Big House to thrash around with and come up with something, and they grasped the opportunity and wrung out this Bi-Partizan Appointment Republic, ha, but it will work ok, the lessons and exposure of the ideas behind this question of dressing up the power, included how you distribute it, but commonsense for the CommonWealth won the day, and that was put back in the bottle...
The Clear Majority Is Based On Abstentions But The Little PM Accepts It To Be Put...
The voting took a strange Spit-The-Dummy turn, the pile of votes going against the wishes of the Direct Electors brought out the sourness, the bad losers Whinged and wouldn't vote, it was Yes or No and then they Abstained... The Clear Majority is based on Abstentions but the Little PM accepts it to be put... it was a clear choice then, for him, said It would be a travesty not to Put It To The People... Well Paul Keating was doing the same thing with leadership...

Patriotic Lumps In Throats Got To Everybody, A Sense Of Achievement And Happiness And Pride
At the end, the hugs and kisses and tears and Patriotic Lumps in Throats got to everybody, a sense of achievement and happiness and pride, these feelings ran through all the interested Australians, it's in the human nature to take your home country to heart, the new nations soul was on display and it was done with hugs and kisses, arms went around shoulders, comforting words of acceptance and the idea that the things which bind people are sourced in something bigger than themselves, individualism gives way to the greater good... Was good to see...

At The Phony Cricket Played For Grudging Appearances, There Was The Sight Of Dog's Balls Being Hit For Six, So Should He Be...
The next Thredbo disaster is on, The Conservative Party Conference, the Tories have gathered to plot their nefarious schemes, reduce the tax on the rich and put it up on poor, unemployed, the services people, and retirees, scandalous, and at the phony cricket played for grudging appearances, there was the sight of Dog's balls being hit for six, so should he be...

The Shopkeepers Are Scapegoated And The Rich Families Are Pushing It To Deflect The Responsibility
Cultural Diversity, what a joke, in Indonesia the blame is being put upon the Shopkeepers who have a Chinese connection way back, they are scapegoated and the Rich Families are pushing it to deflect the responsibility, and the poor peasants are fodder for propaganda... Where will that end, who knows, riots and massacres are not the answer, when things get tight they drag out their prejudices, so Soeharto has failed miserably to rule, another propped up dictator will have to go... Better have Paul Keating go and arrange Soeharto's replacement...
In Iraq, The Prospects Are For Clouds Of Gas And Anthrax Drifting About And The Capital Laid Waste With Atom Bombs
And in Iraq, the prospects are for clouds of gas and anthrax drifting about and the capital laid waste with Atom Bombs, the merest hint of attack from Iraq will unleash such a retaliation that any normal person would be horrified into backing down, but not the madness in the dictatorship, if only there would be an overthrow in Iraq to put some government of reasonableness in power, to dismantle their crazy weapons policy and make for peace, otherwise the way it's going the devastation from mass destruction weapons will be on display for those left to see... Why? All that oil money foregone to make germ warfare, those decent Iraqis ought to have a change of government, quick...
Another Stuff Up, They Want To Tax The Poor More, And The Rich Less, And What Tax Are Globals Paying? Bugger All... Tax Them!
Tax, what a bluddy hopeless joke this is to become with these mad Tories to deliver another stuff up, they want to tax the poor more, and the rich less, fancy having to go through all that debate again, jeeesus they're a pain, they've stuffed up education, health, jobs... They've ruined our reputation over racism, they've bludgeoned unionism, our only protection other than the ballot box, they've made life miserable for the old and the young and everyone in between, now with their taxation madness they want to create black markets, red tape, massive tax evasion, and introduce tax in spending on everything, food! They want to tax food, and rent and every damn thing you need to live on, and meanwhile the tax on luxuries comes down, cheaper Rolls Royces so the people pay more for their bread and eggs and milk, what a joke they are... And they argue that caviar isn't taxed, well tax it, and what tax are Globals paying? Bugger all... Tax them! How about a tax on turnovers in the Globals bank accounts, make them pay...
The Skim Of Ideas Off The Top Of The Head? Knee-jerk, Reflex Reactions To Simplistic Propositions They Ask
The Polls are reflecting the attitudes in the electorate, so they say, but isn't it just the skim of ideas off the top of the head? Knee-jerk, reflex reactions to simplistic propositions they ask like Do you want to vote for the President? Who doesn't, till they see the result is anathema... Maybe Polling might work for gauging the general support in politics, but to say the Direct Election polling is accurate is a media beat up, it comes directly from simplistic questioning...
No One Screamed In The Streets For Downsizing And Competition And Dumping Cheap Imports On Our Businesses
It arises from the general malaise and dissatisfaction with Economic Rationalism, a philosophy imposed on the public, no one screamed in the streets for downsizing and competition policies and dumping cheap imports on our businesses, so the public have a deep resentment for these Tory ideas, and like in Indonesia the intolerance is being misdirected and scapegoated onto the unemployed and ethnic groups and desperate escapes like babies on welfare, this Tory government should be chucked out and thrown away, they're hopeless...

Beautiful Golden Sun And Crisp Air, The Day The Aussies Leave For The Theatre Of War, Hoping For A Good Show
The first Autumn flavoured morning of the year, beautiful golden sun and crisp air, the day the Aussies leave for the theatre of war, hoping for a good show, what a ridiculous conflict that is, sights of people getting gas masks... The human mind filled with experiences and reasoning so diverse and at odds... A strange thing it is... Tempted to go out into the river valley again and do the rounds, been a while, tempted to seek out something more interesting to do, sights to see, tempted to review renew and discover...

The Bush Has Done Miracles In Recovery, So Many Small Lives Soaking Up The Rains And Sun
Went walking, took Pooch, the bush has done miracles in recovery, so many small lives soaking up the rains and sun, no canopy left from the fires, browned off fallen leaves carpeting the hollows, green lush shoots everywhere, all sorts of plants taking advantage while they can, amazing how green it all is, and the sea breeze, and blue sky, was beautiful out there today...

Another Walk, Beautiful Day, So Tired So Sore, Jeeesus All This New Life Around
Did another walk, beautiful day, so tired so sore, jesus all this new life around apart from one neighbour's baby girl being so cute, and then another is expecting, and the little baby kitten next door that's the centre of attention, so clucky so sad there's no wife here and pregnant and making this place a home, what a tragedy, have to take the walks somewhere else even those in that little booklet would be better... Lost interest in most everything else including the Journal, what's the point, never mind...
A Billion And A Half Profit From Telstra, It Should Be National Income, Now It's Going Into Private Pockets
Seems to be a collapse forming in this Mad-Mad-World, the system of Capitalist Private Ownership has failed the world... I still reckon the Needs should be nationalised, and the Bells And Whistles privatised only, even South Australia has a political move to sell off the Electricity, it's madness, and today there was a Billion And A Half Profit from Telstra, it should be National Income, now it's going into private pockets, after they fiddle the books with executive salary rip-offs, and besides they've cut the workforce, downsized people out of pay packets...
Why Aren't Minerals Part Of The National Estate? Mines Ought To Be Nationalised Too
And another thing, the Minerals In The Ground, how come these Claims are made to Own it, and privateers take it out? Why aren't minerals part of the National Estate? Mines ought to be nationalised too, they've closed down mine after mine, killing off the unions, and killing off the towns, when the time comes to reopen these mines you can bet it will be attempted to introduce un-unionised workforces, it's a blatant tactic, and these Big Global Miners walk away, leaving the townspeople in the lurch, carrying debts, and remaining Unpaid Breadwinners, well confiscate the mine, nationalise it, and if the foreign Global Exploiters ever come back into the country jail the buggers for ripping us off... There that feels better... And make it Compulsory Unionism in all Workplace Agreements, that feels even better...
A Promotion For Dog, More Like Dog's Droppings, What A Load Of Baloney That Was
Saw Dog's Pal Kroogha, the new poison on Our ABC, Board do a promotion for Dog, more like Dog's Droppings, what a load of baloney that was, and then Dog hisself did a tax number on the querulous Maxine on Lateline, was weird, so silly using Little Huff And Puff Straw House analogies, what a turkey he is, the aspiration to be Prime Minister, Dog's Pal reckons Wharfie War Wreathy doesn't come in the same class, that'd be right...
The Rich Pay Less Income Tax While The Public Pay More Tax On Their Council Rates, Electricity, Gas, Schooling, Childcare, Petrol, Their Purchases In General, And All Their Services, Etc, Etc...
Dog reckons he can swing the GST in for his rich classy fair weather friends, he has to sell the idea that the Packers pay even less income tax while the general public pay tax on their council rates, their electricity bills, their gas bills, their schooling expenses, their Childcare, their petrol, their purchases in general, and all their services, why don't they just introduce a Services Tax on the Black Economy...
A Small Percentage Collected By Computers On Every Bank Withdrawal Has A Charm
Besides another Debits Tax based on a small percentage collected by computers on every Bank Withdrawal has a charm, and gets the Globals into the bargain, and kills off the Accounting and Lawyer leeches... Look at the administration and evasion of the GST, while the banks could be nationalised to become the Public Service and Tax Collectors they should be... I would love to never have to go through another tax return...
Wipe Out The Whole Taxation Industry Overnight, Well Why Not? A Simplistically Appealing Idea, Complexity Thrivers Would Hate
Heard this percentage would be as low as 0.33% and would collect more than 180 billion a year, well why not? And would wipe out the whole taxation industry overnight, well why not? The big worry is that the Parrot even favours it, so they reckon... A simplistically appealing idea that all these complexity thrivers would hate... And it would work in the Internet World... Make banks do it, nationalise them, simple, tell all these Privatisation freaks to take a leap...
Subsidising The Not So Sure-Bet-Jeff's Casino In The Wonderful Melbourne, And Dish Money Out To Sweetheart Projects
And what a scandal, apart from all the crooks and robbers who fiddle the books in Queensland, there's talk of subsidising the not so Sure-Bet-Jeff's Casino in the wonderful Melbourne, spose they would qualify for the Environmental Condition of the Yarra, where the Tories spent 90% of the funds on their own Electorates, calls came for the Auditor General to investigate, the Tories sold the People's Telephone industry, the biggest money maker in history, and dish the money out to sweetheart projects in their own backyards, jeeesus they're a rotten lot, no wonder they push for those abortion laws, if only there was a pre-natal Tory Test...
See Saddam Pat Little Kofi On The Head And Smile While He Threatens Something Ridiculous..
The UN Secretary General and Saddam to have a Foreign Affair, maybe Saddam will take a longer cup of Kofi than we all expect, what if Saddam takes him hostage, a diplomatic coup, see Saddam pat little Kofi on the head and smile while he threatens something ridiculous... If the result ends up with NatanYahoo leaving Beirut blasted flat with a nuclear weapon, it will be an almighty lower case god mistake...

Cleaning Up The Mess, In Queensland They'll Be Better Off With Labor Than Those Cronyistic Cretins
Cripes, it's true, I have been severely castigated, been dwelling on the morbid, trying to think of the good things, Ummm, spose it's a wonderful thing to have the BoarBludge Premier Sex Lust and Degradation Cabal heading for the dustbin of history, Queensland Ministers of the Crown can't help carrying on like they're the church up there, looks like the Outspoken Opposition Labor Leader Peter Beattie will be cleaning up the mess those Tories always leave behind, even if things are parochial and isolationist in Queensland they'll be better off with Labor than those Cronyistic Cretins they get with the Nats, after hearing all the abuse they chuck at the Feds the Banana Benders can't still support crooks in their own state... The overdose we've all had of the Tories has been enough, Labor is what you need when things are getting tough, the last thing you need are Pollies who wallow about in expense accounts and feathering their own nests...
Kerry Kennel Dragged Out Some Numerology, Shades Of Nancy Reagan, To Do Little Winston's Plus 15% Horror Scope
A quick flick past Midday on Nein had the Little Wind Up Grin talking to Kerry Kennel, they dragged out some Numerology, Shades of Nancy Reagan, to do Little Winston's Plus 15% horror scope, the number eleven came up, and he smirked like something out of Alice in Wonderland, so maybe it's November we have to wait for till the chop... All that time to choke on their own vomit, yuck, could just spew...
Electricity On The Block In South Australia, That Olsen Character, Was He In The Adam's Family?
And there's the Electricity on the block in South Australia, that Olsen character, was he in the Adam's Family? So he's Lurching towards defeat too, this Privatisation stuff must have such an appeal to those who like to get their hands around the People's Necks, all through history the Privateers have striven to acquire the Monopolies, they'd build their Castles on the River bends in Europe to dominate traffic, the revolutions to wrest power from the hands of these Robber Barons have been the theme of history and now it's happening again, what can you do nowadays without Electricity? Necessities are Governmental responsibility, Privatisation is a crime, whoops, it's like lights out, everything is getting black again, sorry Jules... Damn, there is no forgiveness, forgot...

Seems Adolf Was A Lazy Bugger Who Slept In And Did Nothing But Talk And Waffle
Hitler's underlings doing the dirty work... Seems Adolf was a lazy bugger who slept in and did nothing but talk and waffle, the bright eyed racists took up the Weed-Them-Out ideas and put into practice the deadly exterminations, and on the assumption of Doing-It-For-The-Fuhrer and The-Master-Race, the same vague interpretation of Nixon's Watergate burglars, and Reagan's Nicaraguan Colonel Bimbo arms dealers... Turns out the Nazi Secret Police weren't spying in every window, but just a few officials were flooded with gossip reports, quiet letters dobbing in those neighbours in every street who didn't fit in, the ones who never did the Heil-Hitler, who never sang the songs, who were the wrong kind, who just didn't belong, they got weeded out...
They Are Asking For Phone-Ins Now, Spose Anyone Can Expect To Have A Camera In Their Face Instead Of A Gun...
Take TV Current Affairs shows and you'll see the same thing... They are asking for phone-ins now, spose anyone can expect to have a camera in their face instead of a gun...
The Same Racist Flame As Always Is To Have The Native Title Petrol Chucked On It, The Wick To Be Lit
The racism on the streets came from the nastiness already there, a secret letter to the Secret Police and then see the poor souls dragged away, weeded out for neatness, there's always something basically simple in these monumental tragedies of history, that same racist flame is here in Australia, flickering away on Talk Back Radio now, a tacit approval from the Little Bigoted Twirp, the same racist flame as always is to have the Native Title Petrol chucked on it, the Wick to be lit, these religious people out in the country towns are pointing out the obvious... Denying the Aboriginals their dignity, and all the other unemployed rebellious ill-informed minds turned to scape-goating the racial targets, when they start the riots they wont be screaming curses about a GST... Should be good for the ratings...
If The Pro-Lifers Are Handed Over These Babies To Look After They Would Claim They Haven't The Resources Either
Abortion and why the fuss... Heard another perspective on this terrible debate stirred up in Western Australia, seems that idea of advancing technology of humidi-cribs making the foetus viable at any age brings out some unpalatable attitudes, the woman who wants to run her own life and cherishes her motherhood and plans it to fit in best with her energies and resources and health and lifestyle, to provide the best for her child conflicts with the motherhood idea of others who see the same responsibilities heaped on mothers who can't cope, it's a motherhood values conflict, if the pro-lifers are handed over these babies to look after they would claim they haven't the resources either, the kids aren't wanted constructively either way... It's their own genetics they're dealing with in their own way...
No One Likes Others Interfering With Their Most Personal Inwardly Held Grievances And Despairing Decisions
They say Hitler had a letter arrive that asked if it would be ok to get rid of a deformed child, the underling official took it upon himself, based on Hitler's ravings, to set up that huge institutionalised infanticide, of killing off, weeding out, the master race... Started out as a private family decision driven by euthanasia to be kind, to put it out of it's misery type thing, and ended up as wholesale set of racist conditions for life, three crosses on the official form and you were dead... No one likes others interfering with their most personal inwardly held grievances and despairing decisions, some things are personal and other's should butt out...
Dignity From Honest Contribution Of A Persons Time And Talents, And The Only Way Is Unionised Lifetime Security
The only answer is dignity from honest contribution of a persons time and talents, and the only way is unionised lifetime security, after an education in decency and opportunity to develop individual talents, this idea to have computer geniuses in careers for everybody is pie in the sky, maybe two in a hundred will be any good at it, unions ought to snatch back our industries that employed the whole range of human talents, not just a few technocrats, don't import any of those things that ordinary Australians can make with their own efforts, under their own conditions of employment, set by collective meetings of democratic unions, it's about time for a social revolution, this new generation of Australians ought to steer to the left, drop all this competitive claptrap, and get collective cooperative social standards back on track...
Workplaces And Why The Abysmal Attitudes... A Little Bit More To Imagine...
Say you never imported anything but ideas, never exported anything but surpluses, workplaces for all our own needs, clothes, shelter and food everything produced for ourselves, factories as extensions of homes, with kitchens and lounge rooms with books and computers, canteens and luvly proud tea ladies, cooks and nurseries, kindergartens and teachers, some nurses and doctors, nutritionists, ethnic food days, and inspectors and regulations, some sporting facilities, security for life, genius for innovation applied to make less work, more glee, your occupation is the less onerous as is possible, your unionism creates these standards of living, the environment isn't stressed, you aren't stressed, your kids are only minutes away or can be with you, there is the community and company and sharing and tribal life, a place for the old and young, retirement would be part of the landscaping and story telling, there is the natural discipline of the community, and the lure of learning for the child to be adult within the company of the widest role models, social pressures on standards of behaviour to catch the falling angels, no intolerance when there's enough to go around, it can be done, it was going that way back in the post WW II days till the Free Traders and Eco-Rats got their way and Capitalism built more Star Wars Weapons to have the Commos capitulate, and then the terrible swing to this RightWing Madness...
Live In The Richest Caringest Sharingest Good Life, Cradle To Grave Welfare, The Socialist Life That We Were Heading For...
For the New Republic, The Commonwealth of Australia, then to look inwards, to it's own needs and desires and wishes, to be the model for the rest of the world, set the standards again, Australia went from the highest living standards to this rotten decaying polluting rip-off uncaring mean and lean and hungry society these turkeys promote, why can't we be fat and lazy and featherbedded again, tell all these hard work wankers to go live overseas and compete in world's best practice, see how they end up when they are old and tired and useless and cast off, once they're out of the way we can live in the richest caringest sharingest good life, Cradle to Grave Welfare, the socialist life that we were heading for... For example look at the good conditions the AMU has provided for it's members, and why isn't that story put, because the media never told it till it became Hot-Goss, but you can read it here, ha...
Painters And Dockers, The Desperate Workers Of The Not So Golden Olden Days Of Wharfie Wars
The Waterfront and the deadly Painters and Dockers, the Desperate Workers of the not so golden olden days of Wharfie Wars, a now elderly gentle well mannered leader of a faction, a principled crim, who said The activists who shouts and threatens were not the worry, it was The Silent Waters That Ran Deep types, if someone was to be done in, Just go out and do it, you don't ever tell anyone... Chillingly effective, but not a good lifestyle, the old survivor of the killings, after fifteen years jailed for murder, didn't recommend it, goes around the schools in Melbourne and tells the young kids the story of his hard life, something they'll probably never forget, wasn't on Nein though, their Frontline had a girl with thighs narking her mum over dole stuff and a boyfriend, it rates the viewers, looked like cheque book gossipy garbage...
Time Waves Will Carry The Iraqi War III Out Into The Universal Vastness On The Photons Of Light
The Universe out there and the trials and tribulations down here... Why is there a Looming War, like all the other pointless stupid wars in history, and now another one, the time waves will carry the Iraqi War III out into the Universal Vastness on the photons of light and EMR, and spread it's news throughout the Cosmos, the sights of another war flashed out to be seen by distant Stars and Worlds, wonder what they'll wonder about the human race, what a bunch of bananas...
A Hole in the Floor, A Six Inch Lead Door,

Enjoy The Defrosted Freezers, Get Fit Running Up Fire Stairs, Press Your Nose Up Against Automatic Doors
Oh to be in Auckland now that Privatisation's there, enjoy the defrosted freezers, get fit running up fire stairs, press your nose up against automatic doors, have the checkout girls quickly run up a tally on your suspect goods from darkened shelves, wander past the uncontrolled intersections and enjoy cheerios with security police, wait interminably while the power cables are brought back from skimpy maintenance practices with the Efficiencies of Executives lolling about on 36% per annum pay rises while electricity maintenance personnel are downsized by 66%, a predicable result of the necessities being monopolised by irresponsible private enterprise...
Some New Neighbours To Lap Up The Corporate Rip-Off Good-Life In The Swanky Self-Congratulatory World Of Failed Bosses
Or sit back in the Court Cases as the Law Suits are brought against the Private Power Company, watch the share price drop through the floor as the Nationalisation calls join in with cries for heads to roll, and wear a peg on your nose or a gas mask when the frozen container loads of farm produce rot on the wharves, don't worry about work, businesses will be collapsing all over the place, and besides people will be too weak from hunger and dehydration when the water pumps fail, is that the sewerage backing up? Oh and the Petrol doesn't pump, jeeeesus, my car wont go... It's a wonderful thing Privatisation, but Skasey will be getting some new neighbours spose to lap up the Corporate Rip-Off Good-life in the swanky self-congratulatory world of failed Eco-Rat Bosses in the non-extraditionary palaces of Club-Med... I can't skip the country cause the airports shut! Cripes! What's a Corporate Crook to do these days...
Let There Be Light The Private Management Said, Light Fingers In The Till And Stuff The Public, What A Turn-Off...
And now in Queensland, the strangest set of circumstances in the Power Industry where four major breakdowns are blacking out the BoarBludge Nasty Nats, since Joh Bjelke-Peanut took the Unions out... Let there be Light the Private Management said, light fingers in the till and stuff the public, what a turn-off... You can expect the Super Salaries to be refunded by the Execs though, out of a sense of fairness you'd expect, if they survive the Hospitals going off-line... Whaddya mean the kids are hungry and crying and TV wont work, what is this the End of the World?
Don't Blame Us, We're Just The Right Wing Style Small Government Who've Ducked All Responsibility
Spose the Privatisation of Electricity will go on the back burner of Public Utility Power in NSW, least it works... And when the Public asks the Government why, they point the finger, It's them, they're responsible, don't blame us, It's the Pass the Buck Power Company... Don't blame the Government, we're absolved, we've washed our hands of it, we've spent the money, we're free and clear, we're just the Right Wing Style Small Government who've ducked all responsibility, damn, can't get any hot water in the ensuite, and the fridge is off for my Fluffy Duck...

That Infrastructure Of The Nation That's Going, The Bones And Flesh And Blood Of A Loving Living Creature With Soul
Taxpayers have built roads, railways, tramways, telephones systems, electricity grids, hospitals, schools, banks, airlines, public broadcasting and the post office, the taxpayers have built a civilisation, with a Capital City, town halls, the huge investment in Constructing a Standard of Living and Lifestyle, and there have been publicly owned insurance companies, and subsidised rural co-operatives, and it's that infrastructure of the Australian Nation that's going, it's like the bones and flesh and blood of a loving living creature with soul, now it's privatised, they've amputated the limbs, and ripped out the heart and lungs, the internal organs put up for auction, the eyes and ears destroyed... They've killed off the whole living body of the nation, the country towns have had all the pay packets cut off, starved of nutrition, they are dying, the cities are clogged, stupid traffic chaos drives the people to rage, they spend time the same time traveling as working if they can find a job, this is the wonderful world of profit driven competition and globalisation, what a damnable madness...
This Heritage Fund Is Used Buy The Sydney Harbour Foreshores Off Themselves, What On Earth Is Going On
The taxpayers bought and paid for the Telstra Telephone Company, put all the wires in, connected up Australia, the Tories sell it to themselves, dish out the dough to all their cronies, keep the profits, and then this Heritage Fund is used buy the Sydney Harbour Foreshores off themselves, what on earth is going on, and the peoples brains are filled with utter crap from the private media, and the public media is scared stiff of saying boo lest they are called bias, what a joke...
Who Is Still Smirking? The Little Bigoted Twit For One, And So Is That Idiot Dog
And who's laughing all the way to the disappearing bank branches, past all the emptying out child care centres and closed factories and dried up tourism, who is still smirking? The Little Bigoted Twit for one, and so is that idiot Dog, panting around sniffing for droppings, and then they are going to drop this taxation crap on the public, who smiles about that? The Rich, and who's being taken to the cleaners? The Little Battlers who ring up Talk Back Hate Radio Idiots and bitch about welfare, they're copping it, and don't even realise, what a pack of duds these Aussies are today, fancy having opinion polls show any support at all for such a mess, spose they deserve it... From Houie's army days, the Tory's National Anthem:
If I had the wings of an angel, and the balls
of a bush kangaroo,
I'd screw everything in creation, and send the results to the zoo...
With apologies to the Roos of course...
Close To The Hallowed Halls Of Power And Politics, All The Shops And Infrastructure, Parks And Bike Paths, Cooler Celtic Weather
Been thinking about Canberra, deserted, killed off by the wholesale Public Service sackings, the Tory downsizing, cheap housing in a laid out city, close to the hallowed halls of power and politics, all the shops and infrastructure, parks and bike paths, cooler Celtic weather than the frenetic cities, it's all there, be nice, must go and see Canberra and buy a nice house... Settle down away from those stinking raging mad cities... Tempting, to be free to be able to go somewhere... Any invitations would be most welcome, to leave the traffic rat-race behind, what a bliss...

Murder Becomes The Option, Kill Off The Competition Is The Order Of The Competitive Day
Another triumph for Competition Policy where a road accident produces a flurry of Tow Truck Operators racing to be first on the scene and win the prized work, ultimately to win every time though it's best to eliminate all the other Operators, so murder becomes the option, kill off the competition is the order of the Competitive Day, then someone suggests regulation, what an anathema, or a co-operative, sacrilege, business will be booming then for Funeral Parlours, so the hearses will be following up on the Competitive Business Opportunities, nothing like being a dead set winner...
Lowering The Taxation On Casino Losses, Never Mind The Legitimate Business Out There In The Real World
Good to see Sure-Bet-Jeff begging for lowering the taxation on his mate's Casino losses, but he got rolled or tossed trumped or dealt out whatever, never mind the legitimate business out there in the real world, whatever planet Get-a-Life Jeff comes from you can bet your schools and hospitals it's too boring for Jeff, next stop the Greek Islands let's hope, be odds-on he'll come out a loser...
Some Things Are Done For The Duty To Public Life, There's Some Things Done For Profit
There's some things are done for the duty to Public life, there's some things done for Profit, letting these Profiteers invade the Public Services is the problem, they see themselves in distorted magnificence, and the General Public are reaping the benefits of the Privatisation, the Electricity debacle couldn't have come at a better time to turn the tide, the story of the Electricity Commission of the 1950's came to light, how the private suppliers after WWII had been plaguing the lives of New South Welsh-People with Black-Outs and Brown-Outs which brought production losses and living standards to it's knees, so the Public Service took over to instill the proper duty of care in the very necessary needs of reliable power supplies, such a good reliable service provided in the following years that the Privatisation Leeches are gathering to suck the life out of it, thank christ for Auckland and Queensland showing it all up...
Speaking Of Voices And The High Priests Of Media
Another prediction on the wish list came true with Richard Aklund getting the Media Watch spot, should be good, he has always caught I'm attention with his impeccable style and presentation since his day on Late Night Live, being a voice on the Law and all, speaking of voices and the High Priests of Media, there was on Our ABC, Lateline the discussion of the Drudge Report, the Internet being another source, and I took a thoughtful look at it, seems rumour has it that Matt Drudge has set the dogs running, Freedom of Speech always under the hammer, as well as Opinion being shaped by perceptions of what pleases Private Media Owners, and then who has the monopoly on Interpretations of Events, like Maxine and the Hogg Report pushing the NSW Electricity into the hands of rip-off artists, just where are all these people coming from? And there's Geraldine fronting up on Compass pushing a certain pedophiliactic church, be nice to hear people say what they really think... Only I know best, ha...
Insist On Collective Wishes, The Power Comes From Being In A Union, You Get Together To Be Stronger
United we stand, divided we fall, and Kofi Annan is the temporary for now hero, United, the United Nations of the World get together to insist on their collective wishes, the power comes from being in a Union, you get together to be stronger, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the European Community, the Collection of Gangsters in Russia, the Capitalist Communes of China, just don't do it in Melbourne on the Wharves when the Tories are doing their dirtiest to wipe out a Union of Maritime Workers, under attack from a Federation of Farmers Acting United, oh no, the workers are to be divided and conquered and sued and have their homes confiscated, there goes their ticket into a Tory Nursing Home...
The Undermining Of Science Brought Into The Light, As It Drowns In A Sea Of Privatised Education And Lack Of Brains
The Press Club today had the undermining of Science brought into the light for a quick gulp of air, clutching at straws as it drowns in a sea of privatised education and lack of brains, lack of vision, lack of profits, lack of students lack of interest... And lack of remuneration and flight to positions of tenure where an academic can get a bank loan, another Tory debacle, the crisis in Science being starved and killed off like the Unions, while fundamentalist funding in private schools gets money thrown at it... god help us...

Gone Into The Black Now, 82 Years, Created A Stir In The Big Pictures Did Bob Santamaria, Can't Help Liking That Man...
So it's Goodbye to Bob, Vale to B A Santamaria, Bartholomew Augustine, he reckoned the worst thing was the erosion of family values based on the reduction of the Male Wage, in today's terms, the Breadwinner Has Been Dudded, and the whole decaying debacle stems from that, too true, the Symbolism Of The Traditional Family has a strength within it, that has gone, and with that, the Cohesion Of The Society, spose he's more right than most, and he never voted Tory and always Labor or DLP, can't help thinking he was too smart to believe in god, but preferred to, cause of the cohesion in the morals, the opiate for the masses, he has gone into the black now though, 82 years, created a stir in the Big Pictures did Bob, can't help liking that man...
Bob Says Labor Has Lost It's Constituency, Has To Scuttle The Eco Rat Theory... Pump Priming To Absorb The Unemployed
We have sold the Political Sovereignty of this Nation to the market, and they dictate a pool of unemployed to lower wages... And Bob reckons we have to turn in the opposite direction, so do I... Downsizing while executive salaries are 148 times the ordinary worker... As Kim Beasley's Dad said Labour was the cream of the working class, is now the dregs of the middle class, Bob says Labor has lost it's constituency... Labor has to scuttle the Eco Rat theory... Right... Keynesian pump priming to absorb the unemployed, build something, patriarchy power in Government would go a long way to reinvigorate the spirit, to rebuilt the creative minority who have lost influence, just keep doing it...
1998 February 26, Thursday, 12:41
Driven By That Nagging Caring, And Steering A Middle Course Between The Capital S Systems
Wow, Bob Santamaria filled the papers and news and radio, so he was strange to have become such a Voice, he must have seen the dangers of the monoliths, the Communistic State dominating, and the Capitalistic Monsters Monopolising, and saw the dangers in both, but slept with the Church Ruling the Morals and Inciting The Divisions, he must have been driven by that nagging caring, and steering a middle course between the Capital S Systems, but would never compromise, judging by all the splits and dissension in his wake...
Lately He Put It So Well, The Horrors Of Globalisation, But, He Was Too Intolerant Of The Impurities Of Human Nature
As I recall his weekly tirades had an absorbing quality at the time, but his later reconciliations socially with the old foes made him out as the loyal and patriotic crusader, so when lately he put it so well, the horrors of the Free Market and Globalisation, selling our soul to the Holy Market, so I was drawn to the history of the man, and for his insight gains the respect due, but, he was too intolerant of the impurities of human nature and diversities of morals and standards, he too had a scary quality of imposition of that fearful fundamentalist style intolerance, pity cause he could talk up a storm...
1998 February 26, Thursday, 20:11
Whether We Can Make Detrimental Laws Like They Did In Nuremberg And Sth Africa, And Once Before In Australia
The Questionable QC with the Capital Conservative C has remembered being perceptibly biased, or so says the evidence in a letter has come up, and the Questions of Darryl, didn't you know? And the Whitey Heron, he must've known, and so the scheme takes you to the Little I Don't Want to Talk About It, Talk About It, Talk About It, Talk About It, so we better move on, Questions in Parliament? What's the answer? Senator Bolkus says it's whether we can make Detrimental Laws like they did in Nuremberg and Sth Africa, and once before in Australia and Tasmania and WA and everywhere else spose...
Free Trade Wins? Best For Whom? Some Place Where They Work For The Least Possible
Thing about Free Trade to ask yourself is, Who benefits? And in the long run is it true that the Best Way of doing something wins? Best for Whom? Some place where they work for the least possible, and if those people in that other country work for even less they get the work, So Who loses out? You've got a business which produces the cheapest product spraying it out all over the world so that no one else can make them at all, unless some other country gets more desperate and invites the business to have the work for even less, where they may have to use other forces to keep it cheap... Is that Free Trade then, you end up locked in a factory to work for nothing...

Back To The Farm And Vegetable Gardens, A Noble Aspiration By Any Measure Anyway
The war's been postponed, the High Court Questionable judge is highly questionable now, the weather keeps destroying human intrusions into nature, the Little Bigoted Twirp keeps making me sicker, and obituary of Bob Santamaria keeps being rewritten, now they say he stood for Back To The Farm And Vegetable Gardens, a noble aspiration by any measure anyway, and the Mardi Gras of Tolerance is on, it despairs me though, how the arty farty types over-act their freedoms of expression, the Adelaide Arts was less thought provoking than more excruciating embarrassment, where has the cleverness gone, some band like Oasis gets @^#%$ words splattered all over out of being obnoxious, and if those histrionics of arms punching the air and fingers saying one and great screaming expressions of winning, along with hugging and preening and posturing and interviewing people with physical prowess's far exceeding their mental abilities in slathering idol worship, and now there's more of it with winter sports in the media guides already... Anyway I am sick of the inequity of it all...
Will ya still feed me. When I'm sixty-four...

Facing Fears of Mortality, Don't Work You're Wasting Your Time
The vanguard of facing fears of mortality, don't work you're wasting your time, better get yourself into doing what feels good cause there's not going to be much more time left, and drop out, why not, there's nowhere to go but misery in their world, too long dead to be working for goals, if you can just get that next meal, might be the last anyway, it is with Houie, any time...
The Universe Knows
And the universe knows, seeing as how there's this consciousness in our little animal heads here on earth and seeing as how there's a big difference in thinking, from a chook to a Tory, so to speak, to Einstein, so the capacity is there to have a range of smartness, so then how far up the scale does it go...
Another Stage Of Possible Intelligence, If Only We All Took That Step And Smartened Up...
This little third rock has us doing this thinking, but seems the smartness range can only extend up, so there's something smarter than us, at least another stage of possible intelligence, if only we all took that step and smartened up... That's a big if, if ya ask me...
The Universe Lives Belief, It's Only A Belief, But If It Lives It Fits
I believe in a god that does nothing, oh dear such fun, thinking again tonight about The Big Question, cause there's a show on Our ABC, says how they put the theory of the big bang up and it remains to be shot down, and more and more observations fit in with it, but even Houie spontaneously jumps to The Universe Lives belief, it's only a belief, but if it lives it fits those other observations, the early hydrogen helium proved one thing and the expansion theory keeps expanding it every day, streaking outwards so fast... Or is that an incorrect perception...
What About That Flirty Devil-May-Care Attitude To Have
The Arts Pageantry, Feel My Body Touch The Brain, what about that flirty devil-may-care attitude to have, that take or leave it, so what, come and get it look, challenging someone to do it good, promising them the ultimate experience, Fire Light Celtic experiences, not that it was no good, there was a lot of fire in the night down in Adelaide that was good...
