The Head of State of Australia, the Australian Governor General is the ex-Anglican Archbishop and he protected paedophiles more than once and appeared on TV saying it was the 13 yo girl's fault who instigated sex with her Priest, then the Governor-General confessed that he had bad judgment, and then said he was sorry for covering up child sex abuse but didn't make amends to the victims at the time, preferring to protect the church's money and paedophile's jobs with kids, and he gave a string of other obtuse reasoning to wheedle his way through the scandals and protect his plush job, where we also saw him do smarmy pick-up lines with a redhead at a function, his persona being the socialising and big-spending renovations specialist, who has his own personal butler with the job?
He was appointed by the bad judgment of the Little Bigoted Twit who now advises the Governor-General to tough it out... Meanwhile, the decent members of the Aussie Public are crying out for the sacking and charging of this dirty old man who has the role of Australian Head of State and the duty to make a judgment on when the Parliament needs to be sacked as in the case of some deadlock situation, and the power to order an election, so this bungler of cover ups is holding the Royal Prerogative of the Australian Constitution and is a completely disreputable drip, as well as one of the manipulating xtians, the Little Bigoted Twit hasn't sacked him yet, I hope he stays on for ages and just fries...
As well, as a proper Australian Governor-General charged with protecting Australians from bad governments, he should have sacked the Howard Government for all the Unconstitutional and Unconventional ripping up of Civil Rights and illegal war on Iraq and the interference of politics in the defence forces, but he's a weak snivelling idiot, just like the person who appointed him, and is beholden to the Little Conniving PM, and makes the loss of the referendum on the 2/3 majority Bi-Partizan Parliamentary Appointment model all the more an indictment on the stupidity of the Aussie electorate... So they got what they deserve...
Clang Bang Ploomf, shut down on another chapter of life in the old Mercantile pub, when the band called it a day, or at least the driving force amongst all that talent, so there goes Greg O'Brien, he used to put on a fabulous show, like he was a natural wizard and would do so much ad hoc taking the mickey, he would reduce to farce anything pompous and make suggestive little outrages with all the grrrls got up on stage for the Tamborine lesson... His monologues went into realms of the ridiculous and somehow came out the other end in giggles, he is truly a classic...
So looking back over the years of Finn McCool at the Merc brought back so many hazy memories of some of the greatest days of live music you'd be likely to see anywhere, with Mark Oates on the magic fiddle, doing the most fantastic pieces, he'd climb up on the band railing and still play like a genius, he was the inspiration for me to play the fiddle too, and then Dave on the Banjo and his songs, all those classic pub songs, and he looked so cute in someone else's hat at times, there was once Max on the bass, with that laconic style from the flower power people times, and then the replacement players who'd show up to fill in on the fiddle, like the late Reverend Ray Schoeffel and Steve....
So an era closes down, and people move on and go away and change allegiances and so it goes on, even the mood of the place has changed over the years too, the tourist traps and attitudes, the lack of locals and the prices, the poker machines and the wars, and then SARS, the crowds reduce, sad though the way that band went out a bit unsung, cause Mark was overseas and although it all gelled again after a few beers, it will never be the same, so it's bye-bye to the Merc, my old church, and to all the people I met there, the a-bomb pilots, the casino owners, the politicians, the lost wives club, the lonelies, and the bar flies, and the characters dropping in from the country for the pub in the big smoke, and the fun, so many laughs and delving into the answers on how to run the world, was a great pub, such a pity...
So Simon Crean's Speech in Reply hit the airwaves and finally stirred up the old Labor passions I reckon, he touched on ideological viewpoints and put forward the universality of the things that make a civilised society with emphasis on the Health Education and Environment, he sounded good to me, had a bit of punch and could put down that idiot dog sitting opposite, so I reckon Simon has cemented his way into the Lodge and if he can put his foot on that Labor Right Wing clique pushing the wrong way he'll make it...
And he put things in a way people could hear it, that speech had a flavour I haven't heard form Labor for ages, he put the division into it, between rich and poor, business and workers, and the ideology of health and education for all, simple straightforward what Labor stands for again, and he mentioned a RiverBank for the Murray Darling where saving the river would get a look in, the speech was punctuated by cheers and clapping from the gallery and in all the right places as if these people could actually hear what he was saying and showed real enthusiasm, so that should catch on and this generation should get to hear Labor's lost voice, cause Simon said what he said, a New Deal, and he said it with passion and strength, and a lot better than anyone else they have...
About time for a Whinge, although it looks more like the New World Order is in the muck, having brought mayhem and disasters all over, plus the Holy Market Economy shenanigans, like Australia wants to give away self interest for becoming an American whore, submitting to Free Trade and US Military Bases, the war on Aceh by the Indonesians goes unmitigated, that is disgusting letting that old Empirical Set Up hold sway, there's the madness of Bush and his Visions and the imitators in Australia using words like Mission...
So the Little Missionary cops this gloating over in the media, quite unreal, the media is abysmal in Sydney especially with Silly Sally Baloney doing mornings, it's a scream, like she is such a gossip dope from the Leafy Libs, and the Dick on Drive is just completely hopeless, it is so adolescent and the people who call in are such dunderheads, and the contrived laughs are such drivel, it's hopeless, and whenever he chucks a willy it's so dumb, like someone should make him go stand in the corner and just shut up forever... And it's on Our ABC, it's a crime...
So apart from screaming at the media, what else? The only voices of reason are doing the rivers and environment and the preoccupation with terror laws and rorters, the monumental reaction to that tin-pot dictator in Iraq, the brooding silence and then threats from some whacko fundies of Islam, the deterioration of standards in the world...
It's because there's a right wing new world order, it's been inculcated now for some 30 years ever since Aussie Labor and USA Democratic parties got into bed with rabid capitalists, that's when the rot set in, lissening to dimwit economists, the corruption of crawling up bosses bottoms has been the catalyst, so unless some new wave of politics sweeps through, this generation is doomed, they've taken away all the education and health and aged care and left ordinary people out to rot...
The word I was looking for popped up in a long interview I heard with a bloke who'd grown out of a stutter and went into theatrics and directing, he said he'd been through certain stages in life, but used that primitive word for religion which says a lot, primitive, that's it, he said how primitive religion was and then moved on into art and philosophy and acquired knowledge, so that religion was exactly primitive to him now, so true...
That horrible man finally bit the dust, the Governor-General of Australia really turned your guts with his stupid denials and wriggling about on TV, denying rape for christ's sake, apart from Paedophile cover ups, I never want to see his evil blonde blue eyed handsome face again, what a debacle, sad thing is he resigned, I was hoping he'd swing there on the noose for ages and let the public burn...
And the Archbishop being appointed by the Little Bigoted Twit is probably the best thing he ever did, to put paid to church and state arguments, as an Anglican he made everyone else shitty against him, and Anglicans don't need any help to go to the bottom of the class lists, like they've got the Jensons? In Sydney, two of the biggest drips ever...
And then the bluddy Republicans of Australia want an elected President again, cripes they're stupid, the most important thing about Australia is that we are a Parliamentary Democracy, not a Dumb Presidential Democracy like those idiots in the USA have, they have a four year King, the very system that took thousands of years to throw out...
Now in Australia we have a Parliamentary Democracy where the Parliament Governs we only need an Umpire-General as Governor-General, he/she doesn't Govern at all, , someone who only has the power to kick out a deadlocked Parliament, otherwise the position is ceremonial... Why can't such a simple concept get through their stupid heads...
That's why only our Parliament should appoint their Umpire cause they all should agree on who can be trusted as an umpire over them, it's the Parliament that holds the power in Australia, the mob of them are all voted in democratically, and one member of Parliament becomes Prime Minister with the other member’s support... That's the way it works, you don't have someone sitting in a White House doing whatever they presidentially or regally like, our Parliament can kick out the Prime Minister any day of the week and anoint another one... As well as you don't have a divisive religious leader popped into the role beholden to the Prime Minister as in this case...
