Down the Slippery Slope

Shane at Geriwerd

G'day Possums,

Oz slipped further into the abyss of fascism this week and in true Aussie long weekend fashion, few noticed..... so we'll intersperse a  few pics from Geriwerd, aka The Grampians to keep the "long-weekend" mood which is a lovely bit of country to visit as long as you bring buckets of insect repellent.

Bookshelves Brandis has added another scalp to his trophy cabinet having, with support from two boorish Deep Northerners, bullied the Solicitor-General into resigning. 

Brandis has lied to parliament, lied about "consulting" the SG and blames Labor for this resignation when in fact it's what Bookshelves wants.  He wants a lap dog Solicitor General and to control any legal advice being sought. So instead of having impartial advice, Brandis wants the certainty of his own right-wing political thinking.

It remains to be seen which less than suitable IPA apparatchik will get the nod for this  $750,000.00 per annum job.

Deputy Prime Miniature and Johnny Depp tragic, Barnyard Joyce, after prevaricating to the tune of $80,000.00 about its release, has been embarrassed by the contents of a letter the Head of  the Agriculture Department, Paul Grimes sent to Joyce 18 months ago pointing out the minister's lack of integrity in blaming public servants for his Barnyard's own incompetence and misleading of parliament. 
Grimes was later sacked after refusing to be cowed.

Both of these cases warrant the removal of the minister but nothing like this will happen..... in fact a more ludicrous defence cannot be seen than that of Arfah, Da Spiv Sinodinas, (he of 18 times uncertain memory about which banned developer paid whom, what, when he was fundraising treasurer for the liarbrils and get's a "not proven" verdict in a corruption enquiry) blathering on about what a great party, a broad church the Liarbrils are and how Both Barnyard and Bookshelves are beaut blokes!

Truffles, running backward, has announced that there should be laws to stop people protesting and stalling the continued degradation of the environment by quoting his loser of a predecessor, Rabid-the-Hun that Coal is good for us and renewable energy doesn't really work.... except in Spain, Denmark Germany, Sweden, Finland and Norway but we don't want or need to know about that.

Which could be seen as a distraction to the polls which indicate that Truffles' popularity is worse than that of Rabid's which was one of Truffles salient arguments of why 12 months ago, he needed to replace him.

 

Kangaroo's Sparring

A special rapporteur from the UN has criticized Australia's poor protections for Human Rights and its creation of "an atmosphere of fear, censorship and retaliation."  Plastic Attorney General, Bookshelves Barndis replied briefly with what seemed to amount to a, "F***k- off!"

 

Camp-Site, Grampians

Liarbril Party Protection Squad, the Australian Federal Police have decided that there was nothing at all to see in Slipper-gate and that Slippery Pete, Chicken Thighs Brough,  Sleaze-Boy Ashby and Chwissie the Whyning-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect Pyne are all good chaps who don't deserve investigation. Right! 

Do I hear faint echoes of The Horst Wessel?

 

Bunjil and his two Dingoes and the protection required from heritage conscious visitors . 

Ex Liarbril, IPA apparatchik and HR Nicholls devotee and Family First Senator,  Bob-the-Shonky-Builder, Day has decided that he will stick around parliament long enough to make sure he can  crucify the Building Unions he hates by supporting the ABCC legislation.  Regardless of the alleged $32,000,000.00  of liabilities, the $12.5 Millions owed to sub contractors and tradies  and the more than 200 families without the homes they have paid for, Senator Shonky- Bob would prefer to maintain the theoretical and narrow-minded  ideological stupidity that has landed all who have dealt with his business in such a mess rather than actually admit how wrong economically this IPA inspired de-regulated nonsense is.

Someone preparing a PHD looking into the actual outcomes of applying right wing ideological  theory to real life situations would find a trove of evidence in studying the malign prognostications of the IPA have had on various business' over the years.

When the law of the nation is trashed for narrow, sectional party political interests can the law then be ignored?

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane
