Selling the farm.

G'day Possums,

I've been spending a bit of time by the seaside and Bay taking pics for a competition so they are peppered through today's rant.
All of them were shot on the lowest ISO I could set: 50 and I also had a neutral density filter washing off 8 stops so that I could achieve the slow shutter speed necessary for the types of reflections I wanted off the water in bright sunlight. Most exposures were around f22 @1/2 second.

So it's Australia Day... or Invasion Day if you think the indigenous inhabitants were dispossessed from their land but whichever side of the fence you're on the country is now in a decline from which it will take generations to recover.
Because the most incompetent ruling rabble ever in this country to have a pretense of governing,  has in the past 2 1/2 years virtually wiped out heavy manufacturing; the result of this lack of capacity  means that Australia can now be classified as the newest of 143 countries to be termed "Third World."
What an achievement!

Malcon "Truffles" Turdball-Fop, our newest of 6 Prime Miniature's in 5 years has told that we are in the most exciting of times and that we are going to be very innovative, creative and wildly successful.
Which is difficult for some of us to believe as he's still following the policy agenda written by the "Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe" (IPA). Ripping apart public education, ripping apart Medicare, ripping apart the ABC, the CSIRO, Defense Building, Environmental Standards, Alternative energy development, outsourcing the public service to Thailand, sacking tax office investigators, failing to chase up the 600 companies who pay no tax and literally selling off the farm to the Chinese and developing new Coal Mines.

No advanced nation on earth became advanced from a position of supplicant!
No nation became advanced without a balanced economy of food and material production which  balanced with trade. Every nation which relies on raw material export for its prosperity is wholly vulnerable to market forces.
Which is exactly what the Quislings of the IPA promulgate in their distorted version of sound policy.... policy which suits its donors like "The Ugly American," Murdoch, "Our Biggest Miner,"Rinehart, assorted Tobacco companies and probably the odd Polish Land-Mine Manufacturer, People Smugglers, Drug Dealer and of course, Tax Cheats!

The Sheeple love "Truffles." They don't seem to mind that prosperity for them will be harder to achieve. They seem ignorant of the fact that we have become under the ruling rabble in 2 1/2 years the White Trash of Asia!

Ex Prime Miniature, Rabid-the-Hun has, 1#  Said he'll recontest his parliamentary seat for preselection and 2# Is off to The Ugly American's Home to prosletyse to Anti-Abortionists and anti Equal Marriage wowsers.
As for "1" there will be so little "talent" in the Liarbril Party that Rabid is a "shoe-in" for pre-selection, which in reminding us all what a nasty, venal and corrupt lot of mongrels they are is to Labor's advantage and for "2" The "Merican's of the ilk he'll be talking to just might find him more erudite than Trump or Palin and invite him to stay!

Senator Eric "Vichy" Abetz (Uncle Otto's Great Nephew) and one of Rabid's most rabid supporters has been frothing at the mouth attempting to convince us that Rabid should be returned to the Front Bench.. as he's "... only public service in mind..." Which sort of begs the question: how did Rabid accumulate wealth to the tune of $80,000,000.00 in 22 years of parliamentary attendance?

Hoo-Roo Petals,

P.S.  Call me a "Jeremiah" if you want but having just watched the news and seen what we call "celebrations of Australia Day"... I couldn't help thinking that there was a tone of desperation in the sheer number and variety of festivities. Then a military man  (retired), as Aussie of the Year who has made ONE call on gender issues has been nominated by a writer of historical self-portraits (Fitzsimons) as our first President of a Republic...I feel a fit-up!
I also  feel that the desperation implies that we, well and truly, have lost our way in the miasma of commercialist pap, advertising and spin!

And that Mitch Hooke, a mining advocate who was responsible for a campaign against fair taxes being paid by this destructive industry get's a gong ....shows how bereft of social consciousness this ruling rabble still is... what a farce. What a joke they expect us to believe in! It's a wonder they didn't give an OA to "Kero-Bath" Bishop for services to transport!
Vale, Australia you had potential once...

..and it's only January

G’day Possums,



In another blow to the democratic process it has become known that both the recently resigned technology writer for the ABC, Nick Ross and “Lateline” presenter Emma Albirici were effectively gagged from criticizing Malcon Turdball-fop’s outdated, overtime and cobbled together NBN technology’s as a too expensive mess. 
Apparently anytime Turdball-Fop appeared on "QandA" critical questions both from the audience and online about the NBN have been vetted.
What's that you say about the "Left-Wing" bias at the ABC? And to see why Ross and Alberici were muzzled ......  http://www.abc.net.au/technology/articles/2013/02/21/3695094.htm

The cost to the nation not just in monetary terms but of progress in health and education just to appease the wishes of “The Ugly American” Murdoch is another disgraceful indication that this ruling rabble are really just the puppets of vested interests. 

 It almost as disgraceful that Turdball-Fop has interests in 2 overseas companies who are rolling out systems similar the Labor plan he has dismantled.
This is the act of a Quisling.
Public education has been gutted of $600,000,000.00 and this innovation pretender is cutting alternative technologies back…but it’s a great time to be a millionaire!

Sussan “Flappy-Mouth” Ley Minister for Un-Health has decided that if you have cancer, diabetes, kidney problems or anything else, you will have to pay for any pathology tests you may require. In another demonstration of her unsuitability, (she is Sports Minister as well) as a human, “Flappy-Mouth” criticized Labor for instigating the investigation into the doping scandal at Essendon Football club which has resulted in 34 players being banned from playing for twelve months. Like many of the ruling rabble, ethics is not something she is familiar with.

Stench is bubbling to the surface with the TPP, too. It appears, as details slowly emerge, that “Reboxetine” Robb has dudded the nation; but then he is a Liarbril so what else do you expect?
There will be far fewer jobs than have been touted and it is expected that a 0.02% growth in the economy will result. Allied with Investor Trade Dispute Mechanisms the country will be stuffed.

Uncle Otto’s boy, Eric “Vichy” Abetz and Kevin “Medieval” Andrews are stirring the war pot to make themselves look brave and patriotic….but not relevant.

“Barnyard” Joyce has announced he’s ready for the leadership of the Notional’s. I’m not sure why he wants us all to return to an agrarian feudal system run by 457 visa workers on $2.00 per hour when Turdball-Fop is busy implementing Rabid-the-Hun’s IPA directives to replicate early C19th social, medical and industrial practices but many laughed at his ambition.... but not at the $1,300,000.00 he spent in "entitlements"!

Speaking of Rabid… he still thinks he’s go some clout and has offered Mr Peta “Bloody Idiot” Credlin  (Brian Loughnane) as a candidate for Ambassador to the Vatican… perhaps this is a way to hide him from the fallout that is bound to happen when thuggish ex campaign director Damien “Light-Fingers” Mantach hits court to defend himself from the allegation that he ripped-off the Liarbril Party in two states to the tune of nearly $2,000,000.00?
Mr Credlin would be able to keep another hiding there, Cardinal “The Graceless” Pell company or perhaps help him with his tours around the place as he is too unwell to return to Australia to face the RC in child abuse.
Sort of makes Thommo’s $6,000.00 fraud look trite!

And then we will have the pleasure of waiting to see how that Liarbril doyen of the Union movement, Kathy Jackson and her dubious B/F fare over the $2,500,000.00 she is alleged to have filched…..

And it’s only January!

Hoor-roo Petals,
Shane
