Politics In The Pub, Was To Do With The Plight Of Our ABC

May Day, a call to the World to put things right... Ah, another room full of the Left Wing, so it seemed, with Politics In The Pub, was to do with the plight of Our ABC another target for the Tory Ideologues, there was Penelope from the Friends of Our ABC and Quentin Dempster of State-Line fame, I watch both editions, live, and then Richard Ummm, Nope, was it Philip Clarke then? The 2BL mornings bloke, he's alright spose for the perceived joviality required, having had the Political Castration applied to gag freedom of speech, and with Quentin's précis of the recent history, some of dreadful facts were drawn out, and some of the wonderful visions for what it should be came from Penelope, she has balls, and a most enthusiastic audience...

Some Chuckling And Heckling Style Remarks Broke Up Some Of The Sombre Moments

And of course I was thoroughly entertained with the company, particularly one extremely lively and quick witted left wing socialist and most avowedly atheist woman, what a character, so some chuckling and heckling style remarks broke up some of the sombre moments...This woman had little corrections to make, and a few hurry ups, to most things said, like she'd had a Celtic hero Quentin to name her son after, for which he was ungrateful, and she was saddled with Marie and felt the same, she had lived with the ostracism of being a Cave Hermit and delighted in it, she was a delight herself...

A Bloke Who Was The Dead Spit Of Ian Plimer The Geologist, But Turned Out To Be A Punter Going To The Trots

It was spitting rain, found the place in company with a bloke who was the dead spit of Ian Plimer the Geologist, but turned out to be a punter going to the trots in Harold Park Pace-Way, kept on wanting to ask this bloke about the geological history of Glebe, and he kept up with comments like Nuh, he'd never heard that the Glory Seeking Toady Dog had brought up Gambling as to be inquired about, so gambling can be blamed for all the Tory Treasury ills... He had the form guide tucked under his arm and just a wet shirt, and didn't notice the rain in that stomach churning frenzy, in a hurry to get the first bet on... Spose he gambled on not catching his death of cold...

Indiana Jones Look Alike Turns Up, With The Hat And All, After Doing The Picket Lines At Jabiluka

Another Indiana Jones look alike turns up, with the hat and all, after doing the picket lines at Jabiluka, the new Uranium Mine proposal these Tory Buggers want to push through, he was inviting one and all to take the trip and got all these, Oh I wish I could replies, but he'd been there, and had the tan to prove it spose, a quiet achiever... The mine construction starts around 7May98, but The Day After construction actually begins there's a Rally 16:30 Sydney Town Hall Steps... He hadn't yet heard about the tailings dam which burst over rural farms in Europe and was diverted by a National Park's levy banks, and had responsibility laid on the former miners, since defunct, and the rest of the poison was washed out to sea ok... Goin' fishin' got my tackle by the door...

Uranium Side Effects, Those Things On The Other List Of It's Properties

This follows on from seeing a soldier's family deformed from his attending the Tory A-Bomb Tests in Central Australia, the poor things have all got missing bits of genetic code and suffer all these Abnormal Abomb-inations, dreadful deficiencies, Dad's balls had been smashed by Uranium side effects, those things on the Other List of it's Properties...

The Coming Set Of Weekly Meetings Looks Pretty Good, They Have Some High Profilers Lined Up For Some Deep Thought

Who was there, I didn't know, some familiar faces stood out though, just don't know them, and the Pub has this little theatrette with a lot of comedy shows afterwards, and the coming set of weekly meetings looks pretty good, they have some high profilers lined up for some deep thought topics like the Waterfront, MAI, Education, Timor and Papua, Blair's Britain, Telstra, so it appears to be a gold-mine for lefties to get into a bit of solidarity... Then comes Capitalism, Children, Work, Health, Native Title, Unemployment and the Little Bigoted Twit's Election Triggers with Margot Kingston and Bob Ellis... Pretty good eh...

Those Songs I always Sings With Houie, But With Another Set Of Words Entirely

And the show opened with a few Songs from a Union Choir, a rousing rendition of those songs I always sings with Houie, but with another set of words entirely, made up half the time, was good... For the real words one of the Faeries came up with a Union Songs Index... One of the Singers was saying to me how he was gonna pull up the breakfast announcer on some Union Historical Facts that had been sullied and gone unchallenged, but I was bound to repeat that these people had to toe that even-handed line...

From The Tory Detractors The Swinging Sword Dangles Over All The Necks And A Vasectomy

However with all the good will and intent for the Health of Our ABC from it's supporters, from the Tory Detractors the Swinging Sword dangles over all the necks, like harangues from that All-Stone Media Minister who is all nark... He's a doctor? Every time he can he gives them a vasectomy with those laser eyes, Murdock's Moore Park Pictures could put him in some horror flick... The Creature Who Destroys Public Property...

The Crucial Issue, Maintaining The Independence Of Our ABC

So the power pressures to adhere to some Balance Of Views works it's way through people's minds, just comes a lot easier to some breakfast announcers than others, understandable when your livelihood is put at risk all the time, when you feel like that, is when you need your collective action union, to protect you... It's easy to be critical for those who don't live with that enemy at the top, but we all do really with this mob in power...

It's Their Nightmare, It Spooks Them, Boo!

How would a complete National Strike Shutdown supported by all the National Unions have changed the bargaining situation with the budget cuts? They know how powerful Unionism can be, that's the fear they feel, they have a Shoot It, Weed It Out mentality, a phobia of the collective voice going against them, so they bring out the dogs and fascist tactics and try to kill the union, it's their nightmare, it spooks them, Boo!

Protected From Imports Made In Lower Standards Of Living

For christs sake all people want is a decent standard of living, was thinking how this century had half spent under Protection and half under Free Trade, so the sixties can be compared to the nineties say, well I would rather the opportunities in life that were there when Aussies were protected from imports made in lower standards of living... The idea was to be self sufficient and independent, able to live on your own resources... A great diversity of products home grown, now you're another sufferer in the sameness of Global Monopolies, even getting their hands on your Power and Water! They've already put their chain stores into every little community and killed off the local competition, what the hell is this madness?

The More You See Of Free Trade You Realise It's One Of Those Reverse Meaning Descriptors They Use, It's Really Slave Trade

The only people to profit from Free Trade are Global Executives, what a hopeless joke they are to the welfare of mankind... And the Lower Living Standard countries are forced into savage cash cropping schemes to service their exploiters, the more you see of Free Trade you realise it's one of those reverse meaning descriptors they use, it's really Slave Trade... Like Economic Rationalism is really Just Plain Madness...

Guarantee A Fully Funded Independent Untouchable Institution, Like The Judiciary, Who Can Speak Without Fear Or Favour

Back to the Public Broadcaster and her trubbles, money and the politics interfering to extort some pain for being on the Tory Black List... That's the crucial issue, maintaining the independence of Our ABC funding, somehow the Constitution has to guarantee a fully funded independent untouchable institution, like the Judiciary, another pillar of Free Media, who can speak without fear or favour... Every true democracy has to have the National Broadcaster to reflect and expose and entertain the National Character in all it's facets...

What Ghouls Those Fisher-People Are, Fancy Gloating Over The Death Of A Beautiful Endangered Creature

Images that stick in your mind, there was the other Murdock newspaper came back with Houie from the doctors, had a picture of a young girl in the fishing pages, holding the dead body of a long sea creature whose struggle for life was lost to humanity, what ghouls those fisher-people are, fancy gloating over the death of a beautiful endangered creature and then try to dress it up by some naïve pretty young girl, images used to cover up their cruelty, and they call it sport... Thing is, from their incredible stupidity, it's the little girl who's future welfare is put at risk, what a world of dopes holding onto their rods and reels and cruel hooks, if only each fisher-person could be dragged from the water by a hook in the mouth and have their photo taken for the newspaper... Yibida Yibida Yabba yabba do, or whatever that cretin in the beanie goes on about... Hex Runt... Give him a kiss and throw him to the sharks, or are they extinct by now...

Paul Mcdermott Of Good News Week's Version Of What? We May Never Meet Again?

Favourite song at the moment, has to be the Paul McDermott of Good News Week's version of what? We May Never Meet Again? Every time I hear it, the magic of music, funny how some things just grab you, but that fella can sing, he's got a fabulous way of singing and that show is an absolute must, they had it on in the Pub but couldn't hear it, missing your weekly dose of clever politics from Good News Week gives withdrawal symptoms... Speaking of which, ask yourself what will it be like when Australia is thoroughly Addicted To Imports and they fail to arrive? Can't afford any more, sold off all the Family Silver to pay for them, and then out of cash, how are you gonna get your import fix then?

The Call From England Chasing Up The Family Tree

Just got the call from England chasing up the family tree, there were the questions of the parentage and names and dates and siblings, all to do with the inheritance, at last, here it was, the connection, but no, wrong branch of the genealogical tree, damnation...

Someone Reading Robert d'Bruce, A Little Girl Addict Throwing Up, Two Young Blokes Considered Their Options In Life

Coming home in the train there was someone reading Robert d'Bruce, the thickest book, was a trilogy, said the hero beat the English, but the legacy lives on while a little girl addict was throwing up down one end of the carriage, her eyes were spaced out somewhere else, poor thing, left out, turned to drugs... On the way in, two young blokes considered their options in life, education, jobs, marriage, mortgages, they were pitiful too, finally joked how the aspirations of their contemporaries didn't amount to much, they would reach their pinnacle to be in The Audience of the Footy Show, I reckoned it would be The Channel Nein Show with Roy and HG for me...

This is Living...

A Complete Slap In The Face For Little Blundering Bully And His Cohort The Clown Wreath, They Just Have To Go

The High Court comes down in favour of Australian Unionism, just the one Conservative C Stacked QC from Queensland showed his rotten soul, but then the perceived bias he has is already well known, a complete slap in the face for Little Blundering Bully and his cohort the Clown Wreath, the whole Failed Tory Govt just has to go, you can't have a decent country with Little Conniving Con-Artists running the important issues, what a stuff up this caper turned out to be, all that wasted time and money, and acrimony splitting the community, the pain of stranded goods brought on by an Uncaring Tory Cabal, and the violence, the Tory Dogs on Chains, and the threats, still being uttered to ignore the High Court, even with the Tory Stooge they appointed... Not one little trick will escape the Media Feeding Frenzy, this issue will be picked to the bones... Lost it, every stupid trick the Tories pull has splattered all over them, they just keep walking into the fan, thank god, ha, the Baptist one? The most silly one...

News That The Unions Withstood The Intimidation And Won The Battle In Law And Justice Will Go Around The World

And the news that the Unions withstood the intimidation and won the battle in Law and Justice will go around the world, they'll hear how the Unions defeated the non-unionist contract slave labouring Exploiters, it's a magnificent moral victory and the hero comes through as John Coombs, the nuggety leader and strategist from the Maritime Union of Australia, a real hero for me now, and all those others who've stayed solid and held the Picket Lines and supported one another in these Wharfie Wars, the Little Draconian Drip ought to be dropped, he hasn't got far to fall after all...

$250m Of Public Money, Dangling As The Carrot To Tempt The Redundancy Takers, Isn't That Money Owed By The Bosses?

And in the wash up, there's this $250m of Public Money, dangling as the carrot to tempt the redundancy takers, and some will, but that money is just a bribe ain't it? And isn't that money owed by the Bosses? Why should taxpayers pay off the Bosses debts? What infamy will descend over this one... Spose it will make a feast at the Lawyers Picnic again, as it always does, Lawyers are after all in the Strongest Unionised Closed Shop there ever has been in the history of the Universe... Keeping all the quids from the pro crows...

Competition Will Only Come When Everyone Has Their Own Union To Belong To

Real competition will only come when everyone has their own Union to belong to, to maintain their strength, United We Stand, Divided We Fall, United We Bargain, Divided We Beg... Don't forget that...

The Unions
United
Will Never Be Defeated...

The Tory Conservatives The "So-Called Liberal?" Party Of Queensland, Their Voting Preferences Flow On To Wun Nazi Nation

Now, who prefers Wun Nazi Nation as against the Labor Party, the answer is The Tory Conservatives the "So-Called Liberal?" Party of Queensland, they prefer to have their voting preferences flow on to Wun Nazi Nation with all the racial overtones and extremist right wing red neck's version of politics, just shows how closely aligned they are anyway, after saying they never wanted racism in the State Election, that BoreBludge is a terrible example of the type you get from that side of politics, a question, stand up all those Tory Conservatives who want to spend the rest of their lives treated like Aboriginal people? Or any of those others on their black list...

The Labor Branch Stacking Story, That Is A Terrible Thing

Saw the NeinSunday had the Labor branch stacking story, that is a terrible thing, you can imagine the smart operators manipulating that system and the tactics used, like one bloke found all these spits on his back, and one woman had all these cigarette burns on her jacket, that's what you get down amongst these recruiters, the labor politics doesn't have the grass roots it should, that's what can disintegrate these parties, where's those crucial issues you draw the line on, spose it's good in a way to have a little dissension as against civil war, but then how the hell can you get major change? You can't, there has to be public opinion first, but then look at the bunnies the Tory Conservatives have pulled out of the hat, unsupported crap ideas... Dunno, think I just went round in circles then...

The Euro $, Are All The Little Diverse Communities And Languages And Cultures Going To Go?

Don't know what to think about the Euro $ too, are all the little diverse communities and languages and cultures going to go? And having your own money, and own ideas about some things? Is that all going under in Europe? Francais? Welsh? Gaelic? Do they all want to be Clones? What good comes from amalgamations gets lost if they're too big, was like putting all the Unions together, they lost their personal appeal, maybe lots of smaller equal sized constituencies would be better, wonder if cities and their regions be left to run things their own ways? River Catchments... I like the diversity idea, small and self sufficient in the long run would be best, Globalism is looking more and more monstrous...

Do They Swing These Pendulums Too Far? Too Much Amalgamation Will Make People Feel Stifled

But then the ease of sharing in a Common Community would make it nice for travelers, one currency, a new language will evolve you'd reckon, from English, be good to wander about without passports and borders, and yet the Neo Nazis are fed up with foreigners already? Do they swing these pendulums too far? Too much amalgamation will make people feel stifled, and then Boooom, it'll be on again...

Job For A Surrogate God Could Be Governor Of The Euro Bank

Well it's all gone wrong, fiddling about at the edges wont help, politics has got it's head stuck down a worm hole of Eco Ratism and can't see the whole picture anymore, it only takes a revolutionary, god forbid... Actuoooolly been thinking what a good job it is to make a good god, like you don't lissen, you don't do anything, just ignore everybody, and don't have to go anywhere, and sit around doing nothing, all day, everywhere, laying around in heaven all day, well that'd do me for a job... Actuooooly the real job for a surrogate god could be Governor of the Euro Bank, the same job as god really, as for doing bugger all, all day, every day... He'd be the person with no past, not from any of the major groups, and trusted? Sounds like our president to be...

The IMF World Bank Living-On-Self-Interest Banker Comes Along All Smiles With The Toady Treasurer Dog As His Pal

And now the IMF World Bank Living-On-Self-Interest Banker comes along all smiles with the Toady Treasurer Dog as his Pal, all in favour of a Consumption Tax on the Poor, and Toady doing his Noddy act and all the other Tory Drips following suit... Same as Indonesia doing crazy things to the mass of the population by cutting all the confidence in prices overnight, that's dropping a big rock into the pool... Nothing like a few suggestions from the those holding the strings on the Rescue Package, so who's running things for Indonesia? For Australia? The Little Idiot and his Toady Treasurer, don't clap just nod...

Science Week, The Attitude To Fact, Or Fantasy

Science Week, the attitude to fact, or fantasy with religions and superstition, there's been a lot of the good speakers trotted out, Dr Karl and the new Quantum Bloke, and there's a Press Club address by Science Writer-Physicist Margaret Wertheim? Making pretty brown-eyed good persuasive argument, even the aesthetics of all the so far for now understood structures in the universe, as well as the way our lives are affected far more than any other influence, apart from all those fundamentalist miracles all the dumb time... Maybe Science ought to provide more solutions to the known problems too, before it's too late...

They Really Can Mount A Good Union Rally In Melbourne, Fantastic To See The Crowds

See that huge Anti-Tory Tally in Melbourne, packed streets again, they really can mount a good Union Rally in Melbourne, fantastic to see the crowds streaming back down the streets, right through the centre of Melbourne, I remember being in a couple of those marches, to make the difference in the ballot box, that's what has to be done, kick these Tories to kingdumb come... Just boot them out once and for all, don't ever let these dumbos back in again, they're just a pack of Little Blithering Twirps... Ineptitude, the history of the Conservative Tory Govt in Australia in one word, ineptitude, a horrible hopeless joke... Anybody speaking out in support of them you can be sure is a drip...

Labor Is Going To Pre-Empt The Race Debate With A Population Policy, Get In Early With A Long Term Set Of Ideals

So Labor is going to pre-empt the race debate with a Population Policy, get in early with a long term set of ideals, rather than let the Tory's Dogs-of-War loose on the Scape-Goating of the poor and miserable and dysfunctional, so what is a good Population Policy, attract Socialists and Unionists and encourage right wing red necks to go live over there in Globalism? Sorry but that's their tactics just chucked back at them, spose it's a long time to have ever seen such a divided nation as Australia is now, is what you get with a biased unbalanced self-interested and corrupted hodge-podge of weirdo policies? Seems inconceivable how this Competition Crap and Privatisation and Free Slave Market Globalisation has ever got this far, the TV figures show the top shows are American Sit-Coms, that means situation comedies, the universal morals settings brain wash, oh dear...

Science, It's Too Hard To Learn All Those Theories And They're Supporting Evidence, It's A Lot Easier To Dumb Down

Thing about Science and Creationism is that they just don't want to believe the science, it's too hard to learn all those theories and their supporting evidence, it's a lot easier to dumb down and say shucks hey it was good enough for my daddy then it was good enuff... for dumb down and dumber... Bout someone time someone asks them to prove it...

How Has Privatisation Helped? Where's The Proof?

So prove it, how has privatisation helped us? Where's the proof? How scientific is this economic rationalism, where's the evidence of happiness and full bellies and all our wants satisfied? Where's the results? We all know some executives are getting heaps, and there's a lot of big profit announcements, and the stock market is chock full of idiots waiting for it to crash, seems to be a lot more dissension and trouble and hard times following on from the downsizing and the small towns dying off and no careers any more, part time boring servant work, nothing being made or built and created, so what's the proof then, having Dog as treasurer is proof it doesn't work...

Have Everyone Fighting Amongst Themselves, Scatter Some Seed From The Mansion, And Pig Out...

One of the features of this Tory Govt also is the Divide and Conquer style of life, by driving these division into the workforces and businesses within Australia, having the various groups scratching at one another, it's working right around the world, like I Can remember the Free Trade panacea spruiked as making peace the only option, whereas the result is the pain has spread over the whole world, instead of some places with a cohesive society able to look after themselves, the whole world is getting dragged into this lowering of standards to World's Worst Practice, it's based on Divide And Conquer and have everyone disorganised and fighting amongst themselves, while they scatter some seed from the Mansion and pig out... Toad is back in Toad Hall, and he's got all the home invaders with him... That's what a Tory Cabinet Meeting is like now... Do they still have them? Are they talking? Looking over their shoulders a bit?

The Quite Frankly's Appeared In The SMH Letters To The Editor

Images of the hard to forget variety, have noticed a lot of pictures in the paper showing the progressive appearance of the Clown Wreath, and what a funny lot of pics they are... Today in the SMH they had another photo, a series of charicatures are appearing, have to laugh, he's a goner just by looking like he looks, and so is the Little Sour Cruel Hard Hearted Crusty Ummm what's the word, he's a puppety thing, he splutters and has that hurry up set of "Ummm"s he makes, too soon, when someone speaks, like Get On With It I'm Not Listening to You anyway... Ummm Ummm... and the Quite Frankly's appeared in the SMH Letters To The Editor, ha, and some Welsh visitor did a burn of the Union Jack! Was excellent, The Welsh White and Green with Red Baleful Dragon, she used a word for it, I have that flag in his set of symbols now... Some flags are so definitive, that's the whole trubble... Some good letters appearing more lately, the tide has certainly turned...

A Good Question, The Dubai Mercenaries Got 76 Emergency Passports No Questions Asked? What?

Yeah, that's a good question, the Dubai Mercenaries got 76 Emergency passports by a phone call to ring someone in the PM's Department who arranged with Current Affairs Department, Golliwog's mob, to do it, No Questions Asked? What?

How Come They're So Eager To Float Off All The Tax-Paid-For Assets?

How about the Government float some local manufacturing government businesses, nurture them, eventually float a 49% private interest, and slam the tariff doors shut? How come they're so eager to float off all the Tax-Paid-For Assets? Seems we're in the biggest rip-off of all time going on, a few people will end up owning everything, whereas once we had A 51% Government Say on the boards of oil companies and airlines and banks and such, and services and jobs were part of the equation, it could all be Questioned in Question Time, ask now and you'll be put on hold... forever...

Try And Open Up A 60's Style Factory In Secondary Industry, A Small Universe Of In-Sourced Everything

Ever wondered what it would be like to try and open up a 60's style factory in secondary industry today? Say like a protected appliance company, like Sunbeam used to have in Sydney, in Campsie, there it was once, a thriving local manufacturer, big employer, long careers, self-interested in it's survival, a small universe of in-sourced everything, having the ability to do everything it could for itself...

A Lot Of Things To Do

The Sunbeam factory had a lot of things to do, it had the raw materials to purchase and inspect and pay for, there's a lot of jobs and skills right there, and purchasing meant prices contained a tariff tax to make sourcing a Protected Australian supplier competitive, it had the warehousing and stocking and controls and re-ordering systems to manage, then the huge factory floors of presses and extrusions and paintshops and toolmaking and maintenance people, electricians and plumbers and engineers and draughtsmen, they had a heap of apprentices, some who stayed on, every conceivable job was there to be done, the finished goods store, deliveries, and the sales orders, the advertising and promotions, the research and development, the marketing world, the accounting and financial management, the Administration, there were middle management jobs, tea ladies, a canteen or two, there were career paths and promotions, and the local communities were fed the 5000 pay packets every week, there were reducing working hours and longer leaves and more security, there was a guard on the gates without a dog or a balaclava, and there were other jobs offering higher wages or new experiences in the papers to tempt you, but you could be happy where you were, it was good friendly workforce of mainly immigrants, had a social club and a Company Picnic and a Xmas Party, the Unions kept you well fed and contented mostly...

The Big Philosophical Question Was Built-In-Redundancy, The Throw Away World Had Yet To Get Into Stride...

There was a network of Sunbeam Service Shops as well, all over our beloved Australia, providing jobs far-flung into the country areas, more little businesses to repair and service and trade-in and upgrade, and there were the branch offices in the capital cities, more jobs, the big political philosophical question was this idea of built in redundancy, the throw away world had yet to get into stride... Oh that it were so again, and we all know the answer, maintenance is an on-going good idea... Making rubbish is stupid...

They Used To Say We Can Get These Cheaper From The Third World, But It Cost Us So Much More

Then the tariff's were dropped and Sunbeam closed down... Christ knows where they all ended up, all that talent... On the Downsized Redundancy Worthless Suicidal Heap, that's what's piling up on the door of Short-Sighted Free Slave Trade... Makes you think, wondering how an increase in tariffs now would be a scream, they used to say We can get these cheaper from the Third World, but it cost us so much more when you look around today, freedom of choice, a cheaper mix-master or suicidal misery?

When Sunbeam Was In Campsie It Was A Gold Mine... Gone... Poof! Bad Luck Kids...

The tax debate would be best in the long run to re-introduce tariffs, the temptation for businesses to start up as suppliers, to reintroduce protected competition in our own back yard, but how do you get another Sunbeam set up overnight? The land? The Subsidy? The Courage for a Government to support local manufacture? Even Sunbeam was US owned, bought and sold and gutted by asset strippers, just like Australia with Telstra going, but when Sunbeam was in Campsie it was a gold mine... Gone... Poof! Bad luck kids... Back to the Bong...

As Far As Everyone Is Else Is Concerned, I Know Nothing About This

Whisper-Whisper-Whisper, Plot-Plot-Plot, push back chair, hold up empty innocent hands, and say, As far as everyone is else is concerned, I know nothing about this, you're all out on your own, if anyone asks me it will be: Quite Frankly I know nothing about it... OK? Now listen, to the tapes, who's taking notes? Who's covering their own arse in this dog eat dog competitive world of Eco-Rat Cowboys? Ha!

The Denuded Hills Of Italy Sliding Down In Slithering Dark Mudslides

Like the denuded hills of Italy sliding down in slithering dark mudslides... This Tory Government is going under... Wow did you see that mud come down the street, all that wet goo, burying it, the story of ancient "civilisations" all over the planet, farming masters of deforestation, particularly the Biblical lands, buried in their own stupidity, like so it is for the Tory Government in Australia, getting buried in a great pile of slimy dark Un-Australian Behaviour...

Annihilated In A Black Hole... A Sign That The Tory Government In Australia Has To Go

And it's an Omen! The Flash of Power from the Ancient Days when the barely born child Universe had a Black Hole Swallow another Heavenly Body and squeeze the energy out of it, like Squashing a Lemon, and the Earth just got a splat of juice in the eye, only took 10 billion years to get here from where it happened, only lasted for less than a minute... Annihilated in a Black Hole... It's a sign that the Tory Government in Australia has to go, that proves it, you can't compete with that...

Quite Frankly, I Hope Nobody Ever Watched Those Old Cowboy Movies Where I Got The Gun Slinger Idea From

Believe me, quite frankly, you can quite frankly believe me as against when I'm not that is, quite frankly, I just hire others to do the dirty work, hope nobody ever watched those old cowboy movies where I got the idea from, quite frankly, you know the one where the crook hires a gang of gun slingers to terrorise the decent people out of their rights? The Littlest Gun Slinging Out-Sourcer had Red Kezza asking a few pointed questions about that boring Wharfie business... But hang on, quite frankly, we've been paying $1k a day to our Contracting Consultant Dr Web Weaver to keep our names out of this, all's he did was come up with The Dogs On Leashes and dropping Employment Companies into the Harbour, cripes is that what you get on contract services nowadays, quite frankly, that must be why the Private Maintenance Contracts on Navy Ships is questionable... Hmmm, have to give Dr Web Weaver a roasting, where is he? Hiding from 6/7ths of the High Court?

Aren't You Feeling The Pain Kerry? Quite Frankly, Kerry, I Wish I Could Shut You All Up

Couldn't hear from the Benelong diverted flight overhead, and screaming suicides all over, but I wasn't lissening, it was the 7:30 Report? Can't stand Little Chalk Screeching Aircraft Noises spreading the pain... Poor Red Kezza had the Hot Seat again... Quite frankly, I don't know anything about it, quite frankly I told them all that at all the conspiracy meetings we had, it's probably in the transcripts, quite frankly, I'm still following the script, Dr Web Weaver thought of everything, well he's paid to... No, no one got a nod and a wink and all those passports and $250 million ok'd by me... Aren't you feeling the pain Kerry? Quite Frankly, Kerry, I wish I could shut you all up...

Once I Put The GST Burden On All You Battlers While I Reduce The Income Tax On Us Little Trust Businessmen, You'll Feel The Pain...

Was good to see the Little Stonewalling Twit hard up against it... Quite frankly my leadership of this nation for one and all is bored with causing the pain on just the waterfront, health, education, child care, welfare... Your Our ABC ... ad infinitum... My little government is determined to spread the pain around for everyone to suffer, like I did so far with everything I've done, up to date... Streuth, where's my flack jackets... Once I put the GST burden on all you stupid battlers while I reduce the income tax on us Little Trust Businessmen, then you'll all feel the pain, don't you worry about that... But that's my own little mad idea that I told you I'd never do, while I give little mad grins, quite frankly... That's if I'm still here, I may only have a Little While To Go... I hear a nasty Toady Dog snuffling behind me... Cept for the boring aircraft noise...

Relaxed and Comfortable

India Makes A Loud Noise, Thumps The Table With Atomic Weapons, What Do They Expect The Fear To Do?

Bang-Bang-Bang and India makes a loud noise, thumps the table with Atomic Weapons, what do they expect the fear to do? Solve the problems with threats? What about compromising out some decent peace? Same Religious Right Wing Law and Order crap screeching out the punishments to come, the inevitable retaliations and mutual destruction, and what for, some Fundie Madness again, the imposition of cultures, the barrel of the gun wrong-headeness, another generation to have to go through the pain and suffering for a few mad buggers, typical...

What have we got these weapons for,
if we don't use them?

 

That Cocktail Party Flavour Of Grovellers, Typified By The Toady Tory Treasurer, Making Excuses, Covering Their Arses

Bring in the Clowns, saw the Our ABC Four Corners with the most impressive Liz Jackson, do the IMF International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, Globalised country doctors who can't fix anything but big developer deals like damning the Yangste, had that cocktail party flavour of grovellers, typified by the Toady Tory Treasurer, making excuses, covering their arses, a terrible distortion of what these Regulators were meant to do, now they are staffed with Cronyism and Back-Scratchers, like the salaries of Capitalist Executives, sorry but the World is being taken to the cleaners by these cowboys...

The New World Order Has Imposed A Whole World Of Misery

The IMF Intervention in Indonesia was the wrong way round, coming to the bailing out of banks rather than pump priming the people and stimulating the grassroots businesses, and there will be the inevitable collapse of the propped up Capitalist Puppet Government, seems the New World Order has imposed a Whole World of Misery, look at the USA, the most protected Economy in the world insisting on everyone else opening their economies up to be raped, having the seats and say on all the Executive Boards running these World Bodies, may not be the Great Conspiracy of all time but is coming close, where was there ever another one? Only Imperialism and Colonialism seems to have made worse history...

Cut Your Protection And Pull Down The Walls And They Come In And Rob You Blind...

This time it's what's to come, the future has a hopeless bleakness, can anyone imagine the IMF coming to rescue Australia? Rescue the Little Battler? Ha... Cut your Protection and pull down the walls and they come in and rob you blind... And dress themselves up in dinner suits and pretend to be civilised, just saw the report from Sudan, starvation, so pitiful, wonder how long a World Banker would last out there?

Can You Believe The Philippines? The Popularity Of The B Grade Movie Bungler?

And it's not all imposed from outside, can you believe the Philippines? The Popularity of the B Grade Movie Bungler? The Ronnie Star Struck Reagan style President, the monumental naiveté just boggles your mind, but then look at Australia supporting the Tory Cretin Government here.... Jeeeeeeesus h christ, but then John Pilger came up with a new book launch, pointed a few fingers and made some sense, he's not all conspiracy theorist, but can see through the thinning trees... Used to think he drew a long bow once, but now you hear these things reflecting back from the Heretics that come true...

The Diversity Of News And Comment

Some interesting little facts stuck in your mind too, like the historic Imperialism of the Queen was blunted, with Sovereignty held by the People's Representatives from the Community, the Monarchy having to act on Parliamentary advice, was pointed out the way external powers held by corporations have No-Way any such sanction acting for us, the National Australian Sovereignty is in the hands of the Opinion Making Media, the King-Makers, un-elected and forever free from responsibility and driven by their own sweet featherbedding ways... And then the diversity of news and comment, was said that NSW once had 158 News Outlets at the start of the century which have been whittled down to just 16 for the whole Nation, plus the CUoA of course, small gods willing... Ever noticed how biased the Wharfie War coverage came though the Dock Murderers Media Arm, wasn't that the Catholic Knight Corp who hammered the Unions in the UK?

Each Small Ineffectual Country Forced To Sign Up For The Political Imposition Of MAI Contracts, Sign IT! Or Sanctions...

And the Giant Mergers, banks, cars, telephony, food! The swallowing giants reconstituting the Monopolies that holds everyone by the throats, what will we end up with? The Big Business Bank? The World Car? The World TV News, all Privatised, No Choice? Open up some more diverse business and be taken to the cleaners by the MAI Contracts? Having each small ineffectual country forced to sign up for the political imposition of MAI Contracts, Sign IT! Or Sanctions...

Divide and Dominate,
On Your Back,
With The Whip Hand...

All This Crap And Drivel About Stealing Away Billions Of Dollars From The Needy To Make A Profit, To Smirk About

God they make ya sick, all this crap and drivel about stealing away billions of dollars from the needy to make a profit, to smirk about, like the Toady Treasurer he is, basking in the glow of Holy Market Fundies who haven't got a clue what happens next, who leap about in knee jerk irrational economic systems that have no clothes, all jumpy from catching the contagion that will definitely come, the crash we're all waiting for, and through being chained into the Dog Eat Dog Globalised Capitalist System, and now we're about to be sucked into a complete lifestyle meltdown, there's a black hole for commonsense at the centre of it, all this crap about being tied into the world economy when you don't have to be, giving themselves up, surrendering to the corporate genie of rocketing executive salaries, the policies of envy, with caring philosophy and environmental ethics tossed out the windows, what a spew... That Little Silly Grin is being replaced by a Big Silly Grin as well, where's the bucket...

They Call It A Bonus To Dangle The Bag Of Plunder Looted From The Welfare State...

What a hopeless joke, at the Press Club the Tory Toady Treasurer was doing the Three Little Pigs, how the wolf blows down the houses of straw and sticks and comes up against the brick house, well the Dork never mentioned that the Brick House had been sold and privatised and gone into foreign ownership and was empty for lease cause no one could afford it cause they had no jobs, matter of fact the Pig Business in Australia is being dumped on from Canada, and will disappear soon, so it will be just Three Canadian Pigs... Dickhead he is, what a hollow victory, they call it a bonus to dangle the bag of plunder looted from the welfare state... Anyone who votes for these cretins is one...

Instead Of Taxing Luxuries More Than Necessities He Advocates Taxing Everything For Everyone The Same

The Tax-Mix-Switch, he reckons it's not set in stone by the Baptist Moses, so instead of taxing Luxuries more than Necessities he advocates taxing everything for everyone the same, so the poor buy their necessities with all they have to spend and pay the 25% of their money, the 25 times wealthy buy their necessities with just a minute fraction of their money, maybe 1%, so the poor pay more, it's harder on the poor, and the reason they've all done it overseas is cause it was rammed down their necks and they all hate it, and these Tory Toads are trying to ram it down our necks which will be difficult cause we're being choked at the same time, and strangled trying to get a laugh out of it... That is a hopeless joke then...

What Happens If Japan Folds? Blah, Blah, Just Grin Cause It Looks Like I'm Getting The Messiah Treatment, Haw Haw Haw Shucks...

In answer to what happens if Japan folds, We'll never know how John Hewson would have gone cause he's never been there and done it like I have... runs under the belt, I do things in the face of difficulties, you have to just be there to to to bash through, blah, blah, I'm terrific, and lucky to have inherited the system installed by Labor that we all admired, blah, blah, blah, and I'll dry up now into a big long silence to decide if I'm playing my cards right, don't want to hear Arrogant come echoing back, and I thought this was a good Paul Impersonation, blah, blah, blah, better make an inane joke and grin knowingly, that seems to work somehow? How come no-one's applauding and cheering everything I say, hope I get a Yellow Power Tie just like Clown Wreath got, blah, blah, blah, grin the cowboy grin cause it looks like I'm getting the Messiah treatment, haw haw haw shucks... Has the effect of making me flick through the other channels, the audience looked for the old fashioned windows, what's the opposite to having everyone eating out of the palm of your hand...

The Japan Question It's All Factored In, Heh, Heh, Smirk... That Now Takes Over Quite Frankly From Don't You Worry About That

The Japan question asked by Hewson, remember him? The Mad Baptist Eyes, cripes now it's more snaky... But poor Toady Dog was so lame, embarrassingly lame attempt at humour at odd times which aren't funny, and there's that strangled squirm in the audience... It's all factored in, heh, heh, smirk... that now takes over, Quite Frankly, from Don't you worry about that... The Smirk has that relaxed and comfortable feeling that Boris Yelstin or the Indian A-Bombers gives you... Be interesting to see what the Labor Soapboxers say about this most bizarre Press Club Dog Day...

Extra Money? Dividends From Reserve Bank Trading? Making Bets In The Big Game, Playing In The Holy Markets

And now the Suspicion? What? There is a sniff of a secret little arrangement with the Reserve Bank? The gold was sold, there is this extra money? Dividends from Reserve Bank Trading? Investing in the Money Market? Our Reserve Bank making bets in the Big Game, playing in the Holy Markets, there's Nugget Combes turning over in his grave for one, haven't there already been insider trading conflicts of interest raised around the Board? Well there are now, and the Toady Smirk's remark was Heh heh heh The Reserve Bank can print money... But they don't tell me anything about it, it's no touchy... like Dubai is ...

It's all factored in, heh, heh, heh...
translation: Sell Sell Sell!
spin doctors: Don't Panic!

The Indian Pollies Say It Makes Them Feel Good, To Stand In False Security, And To Feel The Fool's Paradise

The sight of the Madness of the Indian Fundies putting their people in the path of thermo-nuclear retaliations, a round dome forms, looms and collapses in a spurts of dust, but underneath is the vaporised rock, the molten rock, and the radioactive elements, emitting, emitting, unstable off into eternity, looks surreal, but one of those things detonating overhead on these over-populated centres would be, well there has to be a new word for it, dunno, it's abominable, while the Indian Pollies say it makes them feel good, to stand in false security, and to feel the fool's paradise, short-lived half lives ahead, bluddy drips .

The Uprising In Indonesia, The Inevitable Deaths And Riots And Destruction, Makes You Appreciate The System In Australia

So, as we are swamped from the worlds beyond our control, being the tail of the kite, the Uprising in Indonesia, the inevitable deaths and riots and destruction, why break everything? And the Exposure of Television beamed around the world, the tanks are in the streets, and the ebbing President says he will move out into the background to be nearer to god, how do you extricate the Emperor without bleeding, and where is the alternative, makes you appreciate the system in Australia, how the only weapons are words...

Shadow Boxing Again, There Is No Way The Tory's Real Back Room Agendas Can Ever Be Aired Truthfully

So Kim's thrust to bust the hollow balloon of the Tory Toady Treasurer made the speech in the Budget-Reply anti-climactic, but it was interesting to hear the Yellow Brick Road analogy, seems we're into shadow boxing again, there is no way the Tory's real back room agendas can ever be aired truthfully, so you have to conjure up what happens with them, the series of balls-ups so far speak for themselves, the Opposition to the GST seems to be major tactic, they not only reduce the taxes on Luxuries for the Wealthy while increasing the tax on the Necessities of the Poor, they want to reduce the Income Tax for the Wealthy as well... Hypocrisy for Battlers to live on...

Cruelty And Meanness Of The Tory Budget To Attack The Kids Again, Derision And Breakdowns In So Many Lives

Coming out of the Cruelty and Meanness of the Tory Budget is this little gem to attack the kids again, there's a 30% youth unemployment and families with just $23k incomes will be losing support, so they have hit the powerless again and it will create the derision and breakdowns in so many lives... Can you imagine the strains on these poor people, and then having their sons and daughters further deprived and driven into the depths of misery at a time when life should be rosy... Surely young Australians will realise, you have to mobilise your friends to spread the idea and vote these Tory buggers out...

No Details And Vague Smoke-Screens, Answer Is, Don't Vote For The Little Leaderless Loopy Tory Twits, Ever

The Opposition is mounting, there are so many fronts to fight them on, and it's shadow boxing again, the Tory Trick again this time is to drop the Tax Package out close to the election date to avoid analysis, like they did last time, no details and vague smoke-screens, answer is, don't vote for the Little Leaderless Loopy Tory Twits, ever... Saw the Tory Toad's Smirk on the wane as well already, that look they got when The Sweetest One left them in a broken heap after the Hewson Messianic Mess... Toady's Time will come... Tick Tick Tick...

The Pond Wont Be Still... How The Hell Do You Straighten Things Out Now?

The Prevailing Ailing President of Indonesia pulls the Dumb-Down IMF rocks from the Pond, withdraws the Price Rising Decrees, the IMF Interference, but the pond wont be still... More waves... How the hell do you straighten things out now? A new miracle cure of Two Party Democracy, a social welfare state? Ha, while the Chinese small business structure is scapegoated, burning down the resources and warehouses, looters and all, all you do is wait for the Anointed One to emerge from the Armed Forces, terrific system, and then the Muslims wouldn't be too popular with the Right-Wing Religious Bigots in the USA, so suffer, suffer, suffer... Get an Aussie Parliament installed, that'd be My advice...

Chasing Down The Soeharto Cronyism Path To Enlightening The Bellies Of Millions

Where's China? Will the Asian World Tiger take control of itself? Will India settle down? Or is this just the beginning, after all China is chasing down the Soeharto Cronyism Path to Enlightening the Bellies of Millions, makes me think there's a generation gap about to be filled in with the experience of World-Wide disruption, wonder what twelve months will bring...

The Sticky Fly Paper Of Capitalist Cronyism Is Having All The Hangers-On Shook Off

How did it start? The Holy Market sold Indonesia down the drain, so the sticky fly paper of Capitalist Cronyism is having all the hangers-on shook off, lots of people will be wondering where their next meal is coming from, says a lot for the New World Order, however for all those self-sufficient peoples who can look after themselves, life goes on regardless... Must feel good to be immune and inured from all this Globalised Mayhem and Havoc, anyone for Independence?

The Aussie Tax Package For The Future, To Nurture The Children In... Raise Tariffs

OK, then, the Aussie Tax Package for the future, to nurture the children in... Raise Tariffs, make a fortune to re-introduce industry for the kids, just change the goals from fighting in the corruption of competition, and turn inwards and look to ourselves and re-instate the Australian Sovereignty, and tell these sneering Eco-Rat Pollies like that Goofy Dog Treasurer to drop off, they seem bent on destroying and enslaving the poor Aussies, are they some sort of National Disease? Wish they'd go take a pill, and the Little Dill with them...

That Drip All-Stone Thinks He Can Ministerially Monster Our ABC With His Dumb-Down Bias Inquisitions, Rack Off

Jeeeeeeeeeeesus christ and how the hell that drip All-Stone thinks he can Ministerially Monster Our ABC with his Dumb-Down Bias Inquisitions, he ought to Rack Off, and you want to come to the rescue for Freedom Of Speech, and then these in-house blathering air-heads drive you up the inane wall... Have just one thing to say to the Sydney Breakfast Announcer and particularly the Drive Time Announcer, Cool-It With The Yahoo... two things actuooooly, Grow-Up as well, for christ sake get someone with some depth... There are all these wonderful people from Our ABC all over the world and yet in Sydney, well it's tsk tsk tsk... Have to see what's going on in aus.media-watch NewsGroup... Sorry Auntie, wherever did that name came from? Not Auntie Jack Tearing Your Bluddy Arms Off was it...

Be Proud Public Broadcasters With Depth Instead Of Blah Blah Redneck Radio Ratings Chasers? Give Us A Break...

After all that time with Mad-Mike-Muffling and now it's the sound of the audience shaking it's head that no one hears, they do now though... Thank lower case gods for Radio National... Like why can't they all be proud Public Broadcasters with depth instead of Blah Blah RedNeck Radio Ratings Chasers? Give us a break...

And I'll have more to say about that
parrot later...

 

Viagra Makes You Go Blind

Cripes this tops the lot, Viagra makes you go blind... 'Tis about time for my first Otter... So funny, it inspires Toady's humour too, head first down the stairs, Ahhhhhhhhhh...

I did it My Way...

The Law And Order Politics, Penalties Are Ineffectual When You Live With No Tomorrows

A day of pet politics thanks to Our ABC and Quentin's show did the Law and Order Refute, the investment in children to avoid the Law and Order bidding war, reasoning put back in the face of the screaming outrage to disarm that Red-Neck Zero-Tolerance nazism, so suddenly there was all this sanity, the independence of the judiciary at stake, like popularism politics pushing their wiles on their perceived enemies with out the judicial independence, harsh political punishments thought to correct the problem, but it doesn't, jailing their opponents is next, these youthful deprived targets they discriminate against have no idea of the Law And Order Politics, penalties are ineffectual when you live with no tomorrows...

The Horror Harvest Placed Squarely On Child Rearing, And Their Stark Staring Mad Drug War, Which Is The Root Of All Evil

That is not the Community Policing I have in mind, I like it when the cops are there to help get people out of trouble, not into it... So Prof Alan Hayes from Macquarie Uni put it all so well, the reaping of the horror harvest of family breakdown and child neglect, placed squarely on the failure of punishment, it all starts much earlier with intensive child rearing and the Media, and turns full circle back on the policy makers and their stark staring mad drug war which is the root of all evil, and how social policies investing in the children is by far the most cost competitive way... What's the sound of blowing in the wind?

The Feeling That Kids Were To Be Loved And Guided... Jail Them And Then What Are They When They Come Out? Chastened?

We've been barraged with local violence stories from Private Media news/drama/entertainment ratings chasing, you have to start fixing ferals with babies first, and putting kids away for punishment periods wont work unless they are educated to adopt a social role which can bring back the feeling that kids were to be loved and guided into a promising future... Jail them and then what are they when they come out? Chastened?

they wont build no schools anymore
they wont build no hos-pit-als,
all they build will be prisons, prisons,
I am a pri-son-er... I am a pri-son-er...

 

Such A Relief To Hear Groundswell Commonsense Opinion Getting An Airing, Only On Public Broadcasting ABC

Today there were some excellent other pieces on My pet politics, and the Financial Systems Holy Markets that rule the roost without reason, just rumour contagion, there are some excellent arguers come to light, was on Radio Eye was it? And then Robin Williams of the Science Show was having the latest explained about colliding galaxies, and then genetics cloning with the field of 100m competitors all being the one person? Makes for such a relief to hear that groundswell commonsense opinion getting an airing, only on Public Broadcasting Our ABC ...

So Much Criticism Of The Whole Tory Mess Now... But If Aussies Are One-Eyed-Mad-Racists Then That's It Anyway

Saw one story that the Little Historic Twit always reckoned the times would be right for the Tories because they'd Set It Up that way, that this 1998 Budget was the crude ploy sweetener prior to the election, but there seems to be so much criticism of the whole Tory mess now... But if the Aussies are one-eyed-mad-racists then that's it anyway... So they must reckon that these other Double Dissolution trigger issues will let them put the Wealthy's Tax Cuts in, that's what they're ultimately after, to put tax cuts in for the Upper and Middle Incomes while the Poor pay more in GST, it's just bias to their side of politics...

One Girl Stapled An Extra Clause To The AWA At The Privatised Commonwealth Employment Service And Was Rejected

And GentlePeople, the new privatised CES has MUA style out on the twig Employment Companies to Drop In The Harbour, and Tory AWA's are non-negotiable contracts, and there are legal actions under way, one girl stapled an extra clause to the AWA at the privatised Commonwealth Employment Service and was rejected, so much for boss/worker negotiations, has a "any nine hours in 24" clause! Those individual stories will sink in hopefully... And the Unions held Frank Sinatra from leaving Australia once till he apologised to the female journalists, Hookers! The Unions had A Voice then...

Australia's Richest Anyone Who Pays Tax Is An Idiot Man Paying Nearly 50% Of His Income?

Did you see the crack on Good News Week how bracket creep had moved wage earners into the higher tax brackets? About Australia's Richest Anyone Who Pays Tax Is An Idiot Man paying nearly 50% of his income? Ha... Indexed tables are the answer anyway, Keating indexed them once...

A Popular Consensus Would Form, One Day You'd Have A Model Of What A Lot Of People All Think..

The Opinion Surveys always have me thinking, once had an idea of a huge hierarchical data base with pathways through connecting up your beliefs in a relational chain, everyone interested could then connect themselves into the structure, clicking on their own preferences, and when it gets to say Industrial Relations they can click off the ideas already there, or add in another idea, that way the most popular ideas firm up the pathways, and a popular consensus would form, one day you'd have a model of what a lot of people all think...

An Artificial Intelligence, It Wont Converse With You, But You Can Read Off The Opinion

It could be the future way, the idea for people having their say, so that it teases out the most defining issues, you could go way down in philosophies like Animal Cruelty and Social Conditions and Future Planning and the Guardianship of the Planet... Imagine if millions eventually put their thoughts in? And when a bottleneck appears it would naturally break into two paths of thought, you would have to take the fork way back as laid out in the main principles to be able to proceed to what you really want, if they want to develop an Artificial Intelligence then that is the best way for something useful, it wont converse with you, but you can read off the opinion, and it would be populated by the elite thinkers who could bother to put their set of clicks in...

Connect Up The Principles On Top With How To Get To Have All The Details Forming At The Bottom

Some branches in the hierarchy would die off for lack of support, others would grow strong with others following the same thinking, it would connect up the principles on top with how to get to have all the details forming at the bottom, it's how a brain works anyway you'd think... And would emulate a baby from beginning with a blank slate which contains the potential, and then it grows with information, makes decisions and reaches conclusions and can change it's mind as more information arrives... The Internet has that potential with all the technology there, that opinion could be extremely valuable to some people y'know... And for updates you could be invited in to some disputed areas to recast your votes, it could live almost, reflect opinion very rapidly, it's coming with these Nein MSN sites too... The voting on the Wharfies doesn't have the finesse that I had in mind...

Things Would Be Better Than Having Polluting Cotton Dumped On Us From Slavery Overseas

On Self-Sufficiency in the Protected Trade from Imports World that everyone with money to spend seems to have a perception of anathema, undeserved in my opinion... Say if shirts made of Aussie Hemp were made here by a factory in every state or region competing with styles and colours and fashions and humour, and not competing with people's lives and trashing the Environment, things would be better than having polluting cotton dumped on us from slavery overseas, Sneakers From Slave Trade Sweatshops pays less per day than it costs to live on, like $1 to $2.50 for a $3 day living standard, stand up all the Competition Fundies who want to work like that? Anyone for Union Protection?

A Conservative Contagion, And Socialism Has A Bad Name! Like Keating Inappropriately Wore Arrogant...

Where can you hide? Only place to go is the future, now... Who has long term plans? Only Greenies do spose, and you would expect that criminal anti-social behaviour in the ferals would only be cured by social welfare states in the long run, the very nature of this competitive system is to maintain a fight for survival so they get what the sew... sow? Anyway the Tories Capitalist Competition unstitch the threads that hold society together, and now it's spread all over the world, a Conservative Contagion, and Socialism has a bad name! Like Keating inappropriately wore arrogant... And what's missing is that loud voice going against them, they're getting away with it, wish we had another Voice to drop them in it... Hope Labor with Kim and Sheryl and the Light on the Hill does something ... And for heaven's sake put the Greens in the Senate at least...

Atheists Have The Most Honest And Respectful And Peaceful Law-Abiding Record In The History Of The Universe

And I would like to point out that for atheists and heretics and the irreligious in general, the cleanest slate in history, the lack of wars and pogroms and genocides and crusades and inquisitions and conversions and ethnic cleansing and every other anathema of racist holocausts, have you noticed hardly any of them were on behalf of Atheists? Ideological Systems have done a few too though... Do you realise Atheists have the most honest and respectful and peaceful law-abiding record in the history of the Universe? Bless 'em all...

Intellectuals Saying What They Think Out Loud Where Everyone Can Hear, It's Only When Retired The Noddies Become Free

Heard a discussion about intellectuals saying what they think out loud where everyone can hear, and how it's only when retired that Judges and Academics and Pollies and all the other hanger-ons become free, the feeling of having to toe the line felt by journalists, but some Intellectuals are expected to speak without fear or favour, particularly from the tenured jobs, where there's no legitimate threat, it's just perceptions, like they asked how many judges come out of the closet? How the Public Service is fearful now the permanent heads are lopped off... A world full of Noddies... But the real interest was in the free ranging opinions and thoughts and concerns and predictions and being apart from the flock, and prepared to be, so I had to lissen in...

Thou Shalt Always Obey Gravity, And We With Our Atoms Are Tiny Impurities In A Vast Universal Sea Of Neutrinos

And now it's the Mind of the Physicist Mathematician, Professor Paul Davies, and the Man in Black putting the postulations, talk of Nothing-Buttery where closed minds prevail, and Reductionism where they miss the whole point, and whose science is it anyway? Wha? Making out Europeans discovered Science? Scuse me... Science is cross-cultural in fact, and trans-ethnic, and universal, after All my 1^st Commandment, xtians and muslims included, Thou Shalt Always Obey Gravity, and we with our atoms are tiny impurities in a vast universal sea of neutrinos, that's us...

Paul Davies Is Concerned We Might Be Returned To A New Dark Age Of Ignorance And Superstition... Cripes

Then, are science people new priests? Is there a TOE, Theory of Everything? And about the contrary religions, well science puts it all up for discussion, openness, and disproof, beat that, but it's hardly the whole story, same old stuff, but Paul Davies is concerned We might be returned to a new dark age of ignorance and superstition... cripes, that's why I reckon one Public School System is so vital, they say the most prolific groups at Sydney Uni are from sects, probably by being mentally manipulated in these cult schools, privatised and subsidised stupidity as against lunacy, the moon is a scientific fact, that's ok...

Not Having Ever Watched Any Aussie Neighbours, Or Any Bossy Pommy Blue Light Cop Shows, Or Any Idiot USA Sitcoms

Oh yes, the guilt of never watching anything dramatic, violent or soapy, I finally forced myself to sit through a whole show, well there's this Seachange thing on Our ABC which is just so fully painted out contrived, and complicated, and full of visions, the coastal village, and it's wrestling with a plot, like there's things going on different from any of those other shows spose, however not having ever watched any of those Aussie Neighbours things, or any of those insufferable bossy Pommy Blue Light sneering cop show things, or any of those idiot USA Sitcoms, and the one which came and went and never did see, was The Show About Nothing they reckon, but it was always on when the news was on, Seinfield? Found out more about it dying off than ever in it's lifetime, but this Seachange thing has a different quality, an Aussie flavoured thing... And now it seems to have given the ratings a bump against 60 Commercial Minutes, a new saga commences maybe...

Human Evolution And The Long Story, And It Was About Tails

Yes, I have been talking to Houie about human evolution and the long story, and it was about tails, like the original families had tails for the trees, came down with fires for protection, and then no tails? You'd reckon it's cause having tails is vital for the trees, but means you can get caught and killed on the ground? Like the very first families were doing genocides, the only animal on earth to do such things... It's built into us all then way back... Cept for some of us who kept our good hearts but still lost our tails... Thank small gods...

The Definition Of Poor. It Seems That The Poverty Line, As They Call It, Is Set Way Too Low

From a Faerie, And something that needs to be looked at, the definition of poor. It seems that the poverty line, as they call it, is set way too low. It hasn't been adjusted to take into account all the items this government has whittled away and abolished. We now have the working poor and the double income poor, as well as the unemployed and the pensioners. And the average income, whatever that is, maybe that's really poor as well. Where do you go to find what their definition of middle income is?

The GDP Has Got A Competitor The GPI, General Progress Indicator, Takes Into Account The Costs

Well, there is a new measurement, the GDP has got a competitor the GPI, General Progress Indicator, takes into account the costs, uses 23 factors based on the Environment and Social Impacts and measured progressively over time, put alongside the GDP from 1950-96, it rises almost in accordance until the 1970's then it drops away dramatically, half as good, things have got worse than better, the GDP is a farce...

The Little Shrimp Squirming On The Barbie As "Ill-Informed Financial Dealers" Drop The Aussie Dollar In The Drink

So what happened since the 1970's? The Tariffs were torn down, Protection made out the Enemy, instead we got the buzz words from the Economics Religion, an Unscientific load of crap shooting guesses... 'Tis the new Mad Priesthood, Free Trade ideology, Competition killing off of jobs, and Restructuring killing off careers, and Downsizing for puffing up Profits, Outsourcing to isolate and put you on call, and Deregulated Economical Rationalism where everything is cheap but no one can buy it, Socially Engineered Insecurity and Unemployment Pools to make people beg, as a result a miserable world teetering on the brink and heading for collapse, thanks to the Holy Market and Free Hand of Traders, players in the Big Game, having the Little Shrimp Squirming on the Barbie as "Ill-informed Financial Dealers around the other side of the World" drop the Aussie dollar in the drink... What a shock... Who do they think they are doing that to us... Oh it's just that you're not the flavour of the month, or hour, just dump a nation wholus bolus... Bye Bye Indonesia...

The First Use Of The Bomb Now Will Start A Chain Reaction... Religious Executed For Insulting Other Religious, Charming

History is making sweeping changes, the big crash is nigh, all the embroidery will be swept away soon... What crash? Wall Street, Japan and Europe, and us... The dollar? Yes, you'll need US dollars one day and something else the next... Or the bomb? The first use of the Bomb now will start a chain reaction... Religious in the Sub-Continent are executed for insulting other Religious, charming... Which way does the wind blow from India/Pakistan border? Cripes they aren't far from the rest of the World really, are they... So many things ready to crash it seems.

Running Things On The Cheap... And The Very Next Day There's A Derailment On The South Coast

Even our trains up the Blue Mountains, the ex-rails boss reckons they're not maintained in the cost-cutting conservative world, and there will be a catastrophe for running things on the cheap... And the very next day there's a derailment on the South Coast, an old bridge and a goods train have a fatal meeting...

Having One-Man-Bands Running Things Isn't The Best Way To Go, So It's Just Musical Chairs In The Mad House

The Indonesian President is making news, and more news, going, staying, sitting back, and nothing is happening, and the apologists for him including Paul Keating coming out from retirement, saying how this situation is dramatic history, and how we should stay engaged... Seems to me having these One-Man-Bands running things like God-King-Emperors isn't the best way to go, so it's just musical chairs in the mad house... How about a new system of Parliamentary Democracy, the Aussie Model... Meanwhile the G7 plus are doing golf stories... Each to his own self interest then, divided we fall... Craaaaaaaaaaash...

Gareth Would Make A Good PM Y'know, Labor Has A Front Bench Full Of Talents For That Matter...

Gareth Evans at the Press Club, making sense, Labor reckons selling Telstra is not in the National Interest, an asset going from being owned by all Australians to a minority, as well with a proportion of foreign ownership, some $20 billion in foreign hands and some $700 million every year of dividends going overseas as against being spent on Aussie Schools, Hospitals and Infrastructure, and he cruelled the GST, and he pointed out the philosophical differences from the Tory's Divisiveness... Gareth would make a good PM y'know, Labor has a front bench full of talents for that matter... As Deputy PM Gareth Evans towers over the Burgermeister Tim, actuooooly Gareth isn't appreciated enough... So Gareth explained the balancing act with taxes, and makes commonsense for the entire broad community, and expounded a Labor view on the Tory tactics and problems, how the Tories have loud voices in their own constituency raised against their policies...

A Vision For The Campaign

As a vision for the campaign, can you imagine how Kim and Gareth And Sheryl and all the Labor campaigners will swan it with support, lovable Kim doing the crowds of workers cheering, big hearted and honourable, spreading goodwill in shopping centres, good vibes ought to be expected, caring and sharing and security, and a more open and ad hoc set of reassuring sound bites, while the Little Riot will be faced with jeering voters everywhere he goes... Should make wonderful news pictures, so the Little Flack Jacket will be bunkered down in hiding, unloved, unwanted, and unhappy, sneaking from one Redneck Radio, to another, doing the back doors and escape routes, with all those irritating camera angles, good eh, and wearing the silly grin on tiptoes, last time they had secret itineraries and secret announcements, now it will be the Little Where Is He?

Every Tory Issue Will Be Destroyed

During the Campaign Every Tory Issue will be destroyed, The GST will be damned, Wik will be shamed, Telstra will be Publicly Loved, The Discriminated Races will be embraced, And Education will have kids outraged, Forests Parks Reefs crying out for Protection, And Mothers are fuming, The Elderly are nursing a grudge, Guns are cocked up, Big Business and Banks blamed for rural desertion, Privatisation Poo-Poohed, AWA's will provide horror stories, And Unions will be seen as Salvation, Economic Rationalism will be Politically Incorrect... So if this thing has all the committed already decided, just the flaky disinterested will be swinging the marginals, our fate is in the hands of image-makers, such is life... You can just see it happening... Remember how Hewson caught the egg?

The Queensland Campaign Kicked Off, Labor Has Got Every Chance, It's A Crooked Culture The Q-Nats Have Entrenched

And the Queensland campaign kicked off today, Labor has got every chance with Peter Beatty, he has a big hearty appeal, and talks straight, and the Q-Nats are so conniving, even the crooked Police Commissioner Pimp was let out of jail unrepentant still, it's a crooked culture the Q-Nats have entrenched, how can they possibly tolerate that Monster for Prisons! That Nats Bjelke Peanutson brown paper bag anti-people culture, even the High Court Capital C stooge caught a dose of it, makes Soehartoe's cronyism the model for aspiring Q-Nats, just hope the word is put about how distrustful and misrepresenting they are, that style of politics is the wedge in divisiveness, and with preferences for Wun Nazi Nation thrown in makes them all the more dangerous to decency...

A Government Being Shadowed By The Opposition... Indonesia Should Try It...

By the time I finish reading this statement you will be wondering how to get rid of Dr Habibe... So there he goes, charming, an election might get some other groups into the parliament, but that One Rich Family Party will think it has the right to rule still, as it was in Australia, till the Working Class Labor thought it could rule, like the educated think they can rule, so there are other alternative governments vying for support now, it seems to work in Australia, having the actual government being scrutinised and criticised for everything, just about every little thing they do, at any time they can swap places, and at any time they can replace the Prime Minister, and there isn't any god-king-president sitting up on the hill to worry them, it's a good system, a Government being Shadowed by the Opposition... Indonesia should try it...

Ex-Chief Justice Brennan Will Be Writing A Book On Just What It Is, The Essence Of The Sense Of Duty You Need

The retiring Ex-Chief Justice Brennan thinks so too, to be free a nation must respect the Separation of Powers, particularly the Judiciary, from the Legislature and Administration, in an interview with Maxine on Lateline, Justice Brennan went through the changing perceptions with the RedNecks raging over some Judicial decisions on the Native Title and such, he reckons the Court should never put spin doctoring on it's judgments and should never enter the Political debate, he prefers the Media to employ well-informed and critical Journos to do it, like David Marr say, does excellent pieces, like he painted out the changeover in the NSW Supreme Court, still with the wigs... But Ex-Chief Justice Brennan will be writing a book on just what it is, the essence of the sense of duty you need, Duty that's the word that Profit has in competition... It's Duty for the Necessities of Life, and Profit for the Bells and Whistles if ya ask me, and they did, at Politics in the Pub!

The Trick Is Draw Up Electorates Containing Evenly Balanced Numbers Politically... For Democracy To Work

Trouble is, in Indonesia, drawing up the seats? Like if they have 200 million population, then one seat for each million would have a 200 seat Parliament, the trick is draw up electorates containing evenly balanced numbers politically... For democracy to work you have that 50-50 split in the electorate where one party can get roughly half, and they can expect small swings to change a Government, a long time off, unless imposed, funny how the Japanese work within the Constitution imposed upon them and have never changed it... In NSW the redistribution involved in reducing the seats has brought to notice how crucial political boundaries are, and how class and money and address creates a political apartheid in the Sydney suburbs, makes for interesting arguments about being associated with certain other neighbourhoods, what a snobby pompous lot they are the Noddys, Quick get out the poisonous lawn moaner, the Joneses will think we rent...

Land Developers And Drains, And The Soil Turns To Acid, Poor Dugongs, The Orangutans Of The Sea...

The Dugongs dying off, big pale sea-grass munching grazers, a cross between a dolphin and an elephant, and the Acid Soils killing the lot, it's goodbye Great Barrier Reef now, what a debacle of Tory Environmental Management, the land developers, farmers, and drains, expanding farms and building resorts, and the soil turns to acid, the poor Dugongs, dead meat in the fish fights, gill-netting injuries on the bodies and the fishos say It ain't us, we fish at night so no one sees us killing them... The Great Competitive Spirit of Self Interest and looking after yourself and let the rest go beg... Poor Dugongs, the Orangutans of the Sea...

Was This The Way To City? Yes! Ha, Hope So... He Says And Was Friendly Enough...

After leaving the pub, that walk past the open houses, up to where the buses run... Some people waiting in the night, tourists, backpacker style spose, and me being half sozzled, so Scuse me, and started to ask for directions, the Lost in Space ploy, and the pommy girl was still speaking, Sorry to butt in, Sorry, but was this the Way to the city? Yes ha, hope so... says the bloke with those Shrinking England accents, and was friendly enough... Which city? I say, and he does a double up laugh, must've been stoned, he does a good laugh though, and that broke the ice, was fun, I really enjoyed hisself tonite...

She Sparked Up And Sidled Over Close, I'm A Welsh Girl, She Smiled And Lit Up Like A Warm Glow

They asked me what he was, and she sparked up and sidled over close, I'm a Welsh girl, she smiled and lit up like a warm glow, You should be in a choir... and she started talking, christ knows what she said, I was enchanted... That lilting sing-song accent, and she went up at the ends...

Were Your Parents English? Yes Mate! He Says, Oh Dear, Well That's Probably Your Problem Then...

She was with two Pommy Friends from little old England, they were joking about life and talking about some sort of clash with authority, I go the boy in a quizzical way, Were your parents English? Asks I... Yes Mate! he says in Orztralyun, Oh dear, well that's probably your problem then, says I from being a Colonial victim hisself... And then he was even more Matey... The Little Welsh Girl spoke to me for ages and I couldn't understand a word, but nodded, and smiled, and looked into her eyes, and her face...

Where'd I Been? Down The Glebe Pub, It Was Politics, I Like That Sort Of Thing, It's Fun, A Political Animal...

Oh yes, they asked me where I'd been, Down the Glebe Pub, it was Politics, I like that sort of thing, it's fun, a political animal... And they wanted to know what, Well it's a rant and a rave, you know, a place to get On The Soapbox...

Actuoooly It's Subversive I say, A Plot! It's All A Big Conspiracy

The little Welsh Wish sat next to me, across the aisle on the bus... So you're a politician then are you? She cajoles with her voice, Ha, not really, but struck with whether he really is or isn't, No, not really, it's just that I enjoy people who think along similar lines... Actuoooly it's Subversive I say, A plot! It's all a big conspiracy to overthrow... Ummm someone or other, but who? Doesn't matter, whoever's causing problems... a lot to rant and rave about... plot the next revolution, ha... too true...

Gave Her A Special Bye Bye, Wonder What She Was Talking About All That Time

And I teased her, and joked with her friends, and won them over, and they talked to me all the way back, about Sydney sightseeing and such... But the Welsh Girl was just mind boggling, and she liked me so much, all that laughing, gave her a special bye bye, wonder what she was talking about all that time...

Funny How Tonight They Were All Talkative, Saw Me Let My Hair Down

This was after meeting John, a bloke who had an Alan Alder Mash-ed look, after leaving another bloke, a sort of Formula One Manly Supporter with braids, who also wanted to have a beer, was desperation for company spose, funny how tonight they were all talkative, saw me let my hair down, and before that another student-teacher got talking as well, even to the extent of owning up to having an Indian in his family tree, to which I recounted my Maybe-Perhaps-Chinese grandfather, and which started a giggly conversation then, so it seems another world down there...

Waved At The Education Activist From The Union

And waved at the Education Activist from the Union, she was good, she had sat across the way and was big and concerted, very epitome of strength, I gave her an acknowledgment, she shoots back, Hey, you're being bold, or words sounding like that, she had me confused with someone else...

Found So Many Smiles And Nods Tonight, Just Having Fun, Real On The Wink Stuff, That Pleasant Mockery And Gentle Insult...

But then by going there, found so many smiles and nods tonight, probably from talking animatedly with John, he's a town planner environmentalist something, from Melbourne, did all the politics, and sorted out religion, and football even, so made a sort of contemporary friend in him, seems ok... Eventually did a sit down meal of Thai snacks and salad, was excellent... I was everywhere, cute, and expressive and silly and just having fun, real on the wink stuff... that pleasant mockery and gentle insult...

The Dire Straits Of Higher Education Suffering Under The Profits From User Pays Tory Regime

Down at Politics In The Pub this week they did the dire straits of Higher Education suffering under the Profits From User Pays Tory Regime, and what a debacle they've made it, there was Vanessa and Adrian, two leaders with a Union connection, the only ones it seems to care about the slash and burn nonsensical policies of the Cruel Mean Regime, but Van represented some 600,000 Uni Students, a force in themselves, look at Indonesia, who was it who had the guts to stare the Cronies down?

The Joy Of Like Minded Souls Makes For Such A Haven In The Umbrage

Ah the joy of like minded souls makes for such a haven in the umbrage, met some wonderful people, and I Can only recommend and commend the People who care enough to go and support the overthrow of the Coalition Carnage... The speakers were excellent, and those from the audience as well, seems we are not alone in our outrage... And the meals are excellent and the Guinness sipping went down well, and stayed down, after the regurgitation following the wedding last week but who wants to bring that up...

It's Wrong To Let The Profit Motive Enter The Halls Of Education, Part Of The Motherhood Necessities

Some of the horror stories coming through show disappearing courses, over enrollments, the demand for "Job" courses, the oversupply of Law students, and the freezing out of Humanities... The Nation has to put Education back into the Public Domain of Investment in our kids, it's wrong to let the Profit Motive and Competition enter the halls of Education, these are part of the Motherhood Necessities that must never be treated shabbily and cheaply... Same as Health and all the other aspects of the Welfare State being dismantled privatised and killed off, it's criminal... Just heard that Labor announced a complete review of the entire education stuff up, the kids and their parents had better vote Labor...

The Burgermeister Tim Saying As How The Free Trade Talks Were Failing, They Were A Pack Of Cheats, Said Tim

From Abroad, over in Competition Cuckoo Land, came the disappointed tones of the Burgermeister Tim saying as how the Free Trade talks were failing, they were a pack of Cheats, said Tim, and there never would be a sloping of the level playing field, a slanting at the table back towards Australia, what an insight, so for every hopeless result coming from this flirtation with deregulation the voices of derision are winning the war of words, giving up commonsense for the Holy Market looking after us, will shortly be the dumb-dumb label these Eco-Rats will wear, put there by history, the real story of the last 25 years is being writ, not a pretty picture, bring back the Golden Years of standards and regulations... Ah, the heretics are proving correct...

The Little Apology For A PM Not Sorry, And Being True To His Word For Once, He's Not Sorry, Besides He's Not Finished Yet...

Australia's Sorry Day, the acknowledgment of black armband history, the genocide bound up in the Stolen Children, the heirs to the land taken away to be disconnected, controlled and absorbed, but it's not over, the land grab goes on with Wik, the Little Apology for a PM not sorry, and being true to his word for once, he's not sorry, besides he's not finished yet...

Batons and Dogs?
Vote Labor, Security and Jobs...

 

What Has Been Achieved So Far By PH? Bugger All, Just A Media Romp, Horrifying Poll Figures For The Wun Nazi Nation

And now the re-run of history on the racist theme, the election in Queensland showing horrifying poll figures of support for the Wun Nazi Nation, scary to think this country has that hard core extremist rat-baggery, and too silly to see, that core support is mirroring the dissatisfaction of the New World Order Policies, it's the frustration with Globalisation being misdirected, headed off into scape-goating the labels they can hang on other people... Thing is, in a democracy, with the election complete, what the hell will happen with these people being elected, like what has been achieved so far by PH? Bugger all, just a media romp, and tottering from Wun dopey exposé of their ineptitude to another...

Expel People... And That's Their Modus Operandi, All Through History, Publicly Decry And Blame

The Wun Nazi Nation who can only agree to despise and threaten and make life a misery, the only positive thing they ever do is expel people... And that's their modus operandi, all through history, publicly decry and blame, lock them up and then the final solution seems par for the course, then afterwards they say We never meant it...

I'm sorry, so sorry...

 

How Can These Wun Nazi Nationists Negotiate Anything? Medicare? Finance? Management? Wonky Wuns At The Helm?

So Banana Benders better put Beatty in as Boss, or lose all respect, be the butt of buffoonery, like how can these Wun Nazi Nationists negotiate anything? Medicare? Finance? Management? Where will Queensland end up with Wonky Wuns at the helm, maybe sweep in some ridiculous penalties for bashing the deprived, that wont work, Queensland will fall apart with Wuns in the government, a terribly dangerous experiment...

Gun Lobby Insecurity Will Be Far Less Threatened From Labor Than These Right Wing Militants

Stick with Labor to save you, the Wun Nazi Nation will have Fringe Loonies destroying the everyday security of the State... So the Gun Lobby scaredy cats insecurity will be far less threatened from Labor than these Right Wing Militants, the Masters of Conspiracies, the very thing these terrified gun slingers are afraid of, the irony is palpable, they cause all the trouble through history, they always pop up at opportune moments, the Australian system is far better changed from within the established party structures, we don't need a Right Wing Mad Disunited period to go through on top of everything else, besides to get Protection back in place it's best done without racist overtones bleeding the arguments dry...

Be reasonable, vote Labor, who cares? Labor cares...

Some Areas Of Life Did Not Fit In With Having Market Forces Elevated To Some Universally Applicable Orthodoxy!

Was impressed with the New NSW Chief Justice Jim Spigelman, how some areas of life did not fit in with having market forces elevated to some universally applicable orthodoxy! Which means keep your Holy Market out of Public Services... Excellent, he is, and he went to list some of the duties of a lawyer, and he's right, seems these Madcap Holy Marketeers fail to see anything but bottom line type brainless reflexes...

A Sort Of Mantra, The Outsourcing Of All Government Roles In Our Lives, Cept For Executions! Oh Hahaha...

There were a few preachers of the new religion on Our ABC Lateline, did ya see that... cripes, it's like a sort of mantra, the Outsourcing of all Government roles in our lives, cept for Executions! Oh hahaha, but this Kiwi would keep the AllBlacks! Aren't they privately owned anyway? So they see it as the society of taxpayers will get everything dirt cheap by letting people scramble for the contracts, the cheaper the better, like they threw work tickets to the un-unionised Wharfies way back, here's the chook food now scramble and scratch for it, that is the kind of society they reckon is what we should aim at, one bloke went so far as to say there didn't seem to be any Responsibility or Standards that could be applied, but he said that would come, yeah, when it's scab is peeled off, like that Ambulance "Service" in Melbourne...

That Mad Speeding Foot Flat On The Accelerator Who Cares What's Ahead Sort Of Attitude

This is the right wing swing that's eating the world out of house and home, this is the Holy Market, let the cheapest prevail at any cost, it has that mad speeding foot flat on the accelerator who cares what's ahead sort of attitude, like those turkeys letting Atom Bombs off, it's like they have no vision, don't they ever look at the consequences? Their eyes go to some bottom line, leaders are supposed to know where they are going, ask this mob and it's Oh we'll let the market decide... They're bluddy mad...

If Those Other Fundamentalist Freakos Have It Why Can't We, After All We Are The Chosen Ones, God's On Our Side

The pretty picture now of the New World Order, seems it's as simple as this, the World wars ends up with Christians having the bomb, then the Jews have it, and now the Hindus, and so what about the Muslims? And once all the other religions start asking, the thinking goes that if those other fundamentalist freakos have it why can't we, after all we are the chosen ones, god's on our side, all we've got to do is wipe out everyone else, just have our religion our language our culture and our skin colour, in fact our race? But then watch out for human genome type casting, we're all related eventually... Nah. Best go on perceptions of racial bigotry and stereotyping, they're bluddy mad too...

The Welfare State, That's The Way To Be, Looked After From Cradle To Grave, Safe And Secure In The Arms Of The Nation

Another social evil of the GST too is the way it corrupts, every time you pay it, so many times, the temptation to avoid it, and once it corrupts it's like a contagion, the "It's 25% cheaper without a docket..." "It'll cost you more if you want a receipt..." The cash economy will expand into a black market at every opportunity, the Avoidance is why these tax rates go up in every other poor sucker country who have it, and some people end up pocketing heaps that should be going into the Welfare State, Ah the Welfare State, that's the way to be, looked after from cradle to grave, safe and secure in the arms of the nation, sharing and caring... At least it could be put back on the table for the pendulum to swing towards...

More Burning, Government Sanctioned In The Name Of Growth Economies, Seems We Are Facing A Dilemma

Keep seeing and hearing more disaster stories about the environment, there are the temperatures in India apart from the Thermal Nuclear Emissions, over 50 degrees Celsius, and no power to run air conditioners! And the deforesting of Canada, pulping forests with what we know now is incredibly stupid, the fires in Central America choking, the drying Amazon, how clearing leads to lack of tree transpiration, lack of rain, drying out from all the forest edges and death... And then more burning, government sanctioned in the name of Growth Economies, seems we are facing a dilemma...

1998 May 29, Friday, 23:31

Much The Better For Being In Politically Parallel Company

Had another good time tonight, Politics in the Pub... The supper afterwards developed again into a talk-fest so it all went well, so much the better for being in politically parallel company, even met a Keating fan and stickler for the Free Trade to help everybody idea, but having changed back to protection it was like, is it all really up for grabs, where does the idealism coincide nowadays, so fractionalised, but it's such a pleasure with these people, it's the diversity that makes it thrive too, cause there was a diverse little group there swapping opinions and querying, so it should be...

The Big Boys, Big Maps, Big Business Aren't Talking Of Freedoms, They're Talking Monopoly And Winner Takes All

The spokespeople for these subjecated inhabitants of islands in the Archipelagoes ranging across the map from Asia to Australia, and the SMH came up with a map detailing these many lands, many peoples, languages, cultures, and the poison of religion, just a few of them lucky enough, determined enough, to have their claims for independence and recognition heard, so the spokespeople travel from forum to forum, pleading their case, seems like the big boys with the big maps and big business aren't talking of freedoms and self expression, they're talking monopoly and winner takes all...

This Disintegration Of Indonesia Is Their First Real Opportunity To Be Set Free From The Yoke Of Perpetual Imperialism

This disintegration of Indonesia is their first real opportunity to be set free from the yoke of perpetual imperialism, aren't we all though, aren't we all becoming pawns in a bigger Globalised world, isn't that the Big Brother principle, just call it Big Business, who is telling Indonesia what to do? Big Business... Who is listening to the gods? Seems Pakistan, and India, just toss a few nuclear bombs into the religious mania, like the latest mantra goes, let the market sort it out, terrific...

The Vacuum Of The Dutch Seized By Indonesia

Lot of people at the Politics In The Pub forum, had a xtian sister doing the plight of Timor, and then the colonisation in West Papua, and the untold story of another little forgotten country Aceh? Where the whole island became owned by Mrs Soehartoe and her child? The vacuum of the Dutch seized by Indonesia, and the WestWorld nod and a wink to allow Timor to be consumed, poor sad downtrodden, ignored deserted and abandoned people, same colonial system imposed, invade, take, clear, destroy, banish, terrorise, and exterminate the original people, so it was hand around the bucket...

A Mass Miss-Perception Of National Pride, Doing War Dances With These Sort Of Weapons, Cripes

Street scenes from the Sub-Continent, jubilation, song and dance and gunfire, bonfires and huge crowds, can you believe it, the nationalism? A sort of mad posturing, like it's sport, seems like something out of the movies, and in a way it is, a mass miss-perception of national pride, doing war dances with these sort of weapons, cripes, like when you see News Grabs of these tribal people's wars armed with automatic annihilators, the complexity of technologies far beyond their means and so easy to operate, like the proliferation of bomb making recipes and drugs and transmission of dangerous capabilities into irresponsible hands, the Internet unstoppable, and the only action taken is over porn, hells bells... To top it all off Ginger has split the Spice Girls... Anyone got a spare bare midrift?
