G’day
Possums,
No: 1
daughter and I went back to “the-other-side” last weekend and visited an
exhibition in St Andrews.
On the way
we stopped off to look at the first Wombat burrow in Hurstbridge, which
sadly, time and present occupant/owner seem to be taking their toll.
If you
have the time next weekend, visit Baldessin Print Gallery in St. Andrews. 90
Shaftsbury St. Saturday 30th
Nov and Sunday 1st December
There is a
tantalising mix of photography, photo-gravure and mixed media with works by
Silvi Glattauer, Karen Goldfinch, Tess Williams and Paul Hails where the
artists approach to image making is very stimulating.
(My
apologies for the reflections on these pics of mine.)

Then, I
went off to photograph an early rehearsal for a new ballet “The Red Sails” a
fairy-tale work that had me thinking “Red-Shoes” meets Federico Fellini in St.
Petersburg.
It has,
even at this unfinished stage, a dreamlike quality and an exuberance, which
indicates that the cast enjoy the choreography and the story line which augers
well for a performance that I’m looking forward to photographing.

Wombat Droppings or the Low-down on Oz politics
Having
insulted the Indonesians, Malaysians and Papua New Guineans when in opposition,
prime miniature “Rabbott”, now unable to grasp the fact that leadership is his,
continues in his thuggish ways and makes matters so much worse.
It is
interesting to note how many times Bogan behaviour and the Liarbril party and
its apparatchiks seem to coincide.
Piers
“Toad-Hall” Akerman’s recent slagging off at Labor deputy leader Tanya
Plibersek’s warranted verbal disdain of Scott “Drone” Morrison’s inability to
democratically answer questions in parliament was he said, the rantings of
Labor’s. “…Shrew-de-Jour”. Hmmm….his arguments may have had more weight if
“Toad-Hall” hadn’t been “done” for allegedly sexually harassing his 5
female staff earlier in his “career”
and having to pay costs to another woman (Shirley Stott Despoja) on a similar
matter.
Then there
was the defamation action of $200,000.00 awarded against him for "The
inaccuracies of fact by the defendant [Akerman] on this topic are gross".
“The Drone” Morrison, (his nasty side
already mentioned in another post) Steve “slit-her-throat” Ciobo, Cory “Beastiality” Bernardi and “Rabbott”
himself and his misogynist, bullying Uni behaviour… and Liarbril “strategist”
Mark Textor’s brilliant soothing of international tension with his Boganisms.
This is
not a government but a right-wing-bogan rabble.
Liarbril,
Fellow-Traveller from the ABC, Leigh “Hissy-Fit” Sales continues her own inept
frolic, this time trying to divert attention from Pyne “The Whyne’s" lying over
breaking promises on Gonski school funding by conflating and badgering/blaming
Labor leader Shorten over “Rabbotts’ foreign policy stuff-ups; showing all the manners of an Australian cricketer and then, like the
love-child of Alan “Bondi” Jones, shutting down loquacious “far-north” pollie,
Bob Katter when he refuses to further the mantra she wanted to run.
And lets
not discuss another lacklustre Q and A with a celebrity…. an American Comedian
who, in answer to a very dull question said, “…some people might not find me
interesting…”.
He was
correct.
Sales’ interview
was so riveting, I can’t remember his name!
I imagine
that with her wit, empathy, charisma and objectivity, Sales is being groomed as
a possible Liarbril candidate to further the tradition of Sophie “Pit-Bull”
Mirabella.
Here in
the “Tardis-State” (Where-All-Goes-Backward), Pretend Premier, Dennis (Inutilus
Rusticus) Napthine allowed his chief mouthpiece for concreting parkland,
destroying homes, habitat and communitys for a one-shop-solves-nothing
“East-West” tunnel folly, on talk-back radio to bat for his side.
Poor chap
had quite a few talk-back maidens bowl him over and he only convinced many that
something really, really STINKS with this whole project.
Geoff
“Fiddles” Shaw, alleged rorter of govt. car allowance (ex Liarbril) berates
parliament, “… as being a rabble”… geez Geoff, isn’t that “Pot calling Kettle
“black-bum”? And how about using your parliamentary privlege, Geoff, to attack the Magistrate deciding your case? Ethical use of seperation of powers?
Inutilis-Rusticus’
Speaker, sends two Labor pollies on a six day holiday (in a five day
parliament) in order to restore democracy… and not to avoid speakers'
manifestations of competence…or otherwise... hmmmm. Louise "Dozy" Asher manager of Government businee said,"Look over there, a Rabbit"
Once upon
a time, Liarbrils were Assistant-Managers to “Big-Business”.
Now, I’m
afraid they are rather less than Office-Boys.
And let’s
not discuss IBAC’s interesting turning over of turds from Peter “I-Know-Nuffin”
Ryan’s tenure as Police Minister…..or the fifth Chairman of the Building
Authority to resign in two years… or the Ambulance crisis… or the hospital
waiting lists….or the court waiting lists…or the shambles of appeals tribunal. Ahh, Liarbrils… such Good Managers, so Economically Responsible….
Can anyone with half a brain, really believe this any
more?
Cheers
fellow Echidnas, the bad news is… It’s all too late!
