Winter Follies...

Shane in Snow

G'day Petals,

Winter has really hit as the pics this week attest and with the MSM (in some cases funding)  as well as the ABC giving much time to the racist and stupid "One Notion" leader, the country's attention is becoming frozen into pointless fear-mongering and the uselessness of overt racism.

Ahh... but now we have the ruling rabble Mk2.... happily, not only significantly less in number (16) and less competent in this iteration but more divided, fractious, narrow minded and 16 times more  bereft of policy as before.

With the heavy hitters like KPMG and BCA et al, all singing the same refrain from the "free-market', IPA songbook, am I the only one who senses a whiff of early desperation in that the simmering anger in the electorate over the Rabid-the-Hun/Eleventy Hockey/Do-do Dutton /Slasher Ley/Horseshite Cormann cabal has not diminished but has in fact, expanded since the election? 

You might ask now, "Why Hanson?"

Hissy-Fit Sales  (7:30) continues in her Guthrie appealing ways, giving failed 24 YO LNP proto-fascist, Wyatt Roy a free ride on by introducing him as having narrowly lost his seat to Labor ( "but that 10% of the vote went to One Notion....") and not only avoiding mention of his woeful electorate and campaigning performance but also his asinine "work till you're 70" plans. 

Interruptions: Nil!          When is proselytizing for one side, "balanced," Hissy-Fit?

Truffle's then gets another uninterrupted space to rant on and on and on about the deviousness of Labor and their lying over Liarbril policy and other nasty bits.... and... mummy, mummy, mummy I don't like Labor telling on me with facts and fings....  in such a pathetic synthetic manner, he was almost getting to the point of priceless hysteria.

 I suppose we can now add to his incompetence as a politician, lack of leadership skills and policy integrity, Truffles' complete inability as an actor!

If that misogynist Price wants to see hysterical behaviour perhaps he should have a look at Truffle's high pitched bumbling about Labor's "lies" over Medicare.

Oh, now in case you subscribe to Truffle's view on this, just reflect on the fact that self administered blood testing strips have quietly had their price increased by 600%.

Now, where's that lie again?

The ruling rabble's factions are now fighting over their dismally thought through superannuation policy... with Arfuh Da Spiv Sinodinas saying that they will now change the policy they took to the election... if only he could remember it... poor Arfuh!

Turnbull insists this post-election policy back-flip is "fair" and "long overdue".... and this from a  ruling rabble who would have you believe that they are still the best of economic managers...in control, on top of things prudent, measured and actually ....completely dishonest, clueless and incompetent in balancing the Australian people's needs with the demands of big business.

Truffles digs for some loose change and gives $1,000,000.00  (some are saying 2 mill)  to cash strapped Liarbrils to secure his prime miniature-ship.  An odd concept really, the privatization of a free-market party.

Hmmm.. and he's supposed to be economically prudent?

It seems that each of the electorally ditched conservatives will receive a $100,000.00 "re-adjustment" (?) gift .  Why no-one is asking why is a problem....  and true to form, no-one is telling.

So, "Eleventy", you'll be pleased to know the Age of Entitlement  still only runs one way!

On another pecuniary  note, Damien Mantach (he of very nasty liarbril advertising bent) has just been given five years in the slammer for filching $1,500,000.00 from his fellow free-marketeers. This gets mentioned in the media but he's no Slippery Pete, ($900, life destroyed) or Thommo, ($24,000.00, life destroyed) is he?  It will all quietly disappear.. ....unless of course it is discovered that he was secretly a member of the CFMEU.    Mantach'll be out in 21/2 years. Yet no-one is publicly questioning the Tassie branch of the ruling rabble and their role in this piece of fraud, are they Vichy Abetz? Addenda:  Mantach was charged on 15 counts of fraud and obtaining money by deception and pleaded guilty to all charges.  Each charge carries a sentence of between 10 and 15 years. 
Sentenced to 5 when 145-225 was the go?  Even taking into account his marital problems, his confession and guilty plea; this sentence seems generously short............. hmmm.... who leant on whom, here? 

Bloody hell... the Liarbrils are going to make mince-meat of Hanson in parliament... watching her on QandA she's not even out of her depth ...she hasn't even got into the water yet!

The stupid woman was sitting next to Sam Dastyari  unaware he was a Muslim till he was telling his family story of leaving Iran when she blurted, "....but, are you a Muslim?" He then informed her that he was....this dim,  Deep Northern racist is so 'ahead of the game" that she missed all the media coverage of him and his Iranian background and obviously hadn't done any research on the other QandA  panelists either as she seemed utterly unprepared for the obvious questions both from them and the audience.

She can only respond in an animated fashion to populist raving and any serious questions leave her confused, confounded and tongue-tied.

It's also worth remembering that 20 years ago Hanson once held pre-selection for the LNP in Queensland, until Little Johnnie Howard, (under much pressure) had her candidacy revoked because of her racist utterings toward Indigenous Australians and Asian migration.

Just another telling episode in the evidence of the ruling rabble's sorry management skills in the selection of appropriately qualified candidates for Canberra!

Much video footage has been bandied about of the celebratory "party" room as the diminished ruling rabble meet for the first time since their near-death electoral experience... and didn't it look, "all for the cameras?"

If this was Mark Textor's idea, it was another clunker. This lot only look genuinely happy when tearing at the entrails of some mangled social policy or rorting their parliamentary entitlements.

But Hanson serves her purpose. All the rednecks can get their rocks off spreading fear, fright and confusion throughout the land whilst the ruling rabble wring their hands and quietly say, "It's not us... oohh.. isn't she naughty," ...and get on with the real agenda, the implementation of the IPA's  free-market manifesto for the economic and social destruction of a once civil society.

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane
