.... joining the blowhards

Shane at his new desk

G’day petals

I’ve got a new desk and had a bit of a make-over but more of that later in Wombat Droppings.

Here is some new ballet stuff from the rehearsals and mid-year performance from Ballet Theatre Australia.

Being the first ballet shoot since returning it was interesting to me, at least, just how different it felt after six weeks of shooting landscapes, candids, architecture and other tourists.

 

It felt nicely fresh and I was a little surprised …very relaxed.

The performance shots are in B and W as I found the lighting disjointed and the colour, well, garish…. Sepia suits the rehearsal stuff…

Wombat Droppings

or  Australia’s slide from egalitarianism into fascism.

…or if you want to watch it on video, here’s the address… and the reason for the make-over.

It seems that our Prime Miniature, Rabid-the-Hun Abbott is motivated solely by the need to destroy Labor’s Faux-Leader Bill Short-Stuff and pretend he’s securing our borders as well as shirt-fronting “Death-Cults” abroad. 

This seemingly punch-drunk ex-university pugilist appears to know nothing except is how to start a fight and if you think it’s a good idea to have Rabid sideline the judiciary and have some-one with the intellect of the ex-Copper “Dodo” Dutton deciding who can or can’t be Australian… be afraid Petals, be very afraid.

The Ruling Rabble apparently poll quite strongly amongst the unaware on the issue of national security so all Rabid has to do is campaign hard on the promise of Keeping-Australia-Safe, so in constantly talking up terrorism it really suits his political objective to make most Australians feel very, Very Unsafe.

But given that Rabid-the-Hun’s record of NOT keeping promises is, the only exemplary point of his rabble’s administration; feeling safe from this English liar’s plans to create a sort of Fourth Reich Down-Under, is a problem in itself.

It’s horrifying to think that all this was planned…(well, the detail …. in the past 5 minutes) was from the “Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe” (the IPA) Handbook.

It was some 2 years ago that I wrote of this rabble’s possible election and postulated that their following of “The Coot’s” Policy-Thought-Bubbles would result in the degrading of “Civil-Society”.  Well the rabble’s been elected and, Voila!

 Now we have to look on as we suffer a further diminution of the nations humanitarian standing as Rabid–the-Hun is “open for business” like people smuggling which brings us closer to a genuine and serious Diplomatic confrontation with Indonesia whilst the rest of the world sees us as being morally bereft.

It seems too, that our Prime Miniature, can't hear his Pope’s encyclical on climate change for the noise of the Wind Turbines.

Having “discussed” Joe “Toyota-Killer-Eleventy” Hockey’s acute aesthetic revulsion of these symbols of the future with Sydney shock-jock Alan “Toilet-Boy” Jones, Rabid decided in another dictatorial “captain’s call,” that we shall have a Commissioner for Wind Farms.

This commissioner, probably as impartial as the Speaker of the House, “Kerosene-Pompadour” Bishop, will, likely only listen to the 12 or so people who complain of the imagined deleterious effects of these “aesthetic monstrosities”, and then, ignoring all 23 previous studies into this alternative energy source will, one by one, close them down; thus keeping faith with the Coal miners who funded so much of the Liarbrils election.

In an effort to distract the public from these first two “droppings,” Dis-Education Minister, Chwissie ”The Whyne-and-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect” Pyne has laid a third by indicating that the government believes it has a particular responsibility only for independent schools and no time for public schools.

“The Whyne,” implied that, in returning to a medieval model of education it would save us from having to soil our dainty fingers counting out the pittance public schools get and it would also give the States something to do in their spare time. Only the privileged should be funded by the taxpayer!” 

Besides, as the poor don’t drive cars…. Only have to get a good job to buy a house and obviously don’t need medical attention or pharmaceuticals, why waste money on educating them?

Let them eat cake!”

What pile of droppings, eh?

Hoo-roo, Possums.
