Leprosy or Herpes... Your Choice.

G'day Petals,

It has transpired that The Ugly American's minions led by Sydney-sider radio Quislings Toilet-Boy Jones and the Gutter-Mouthed Hadley have had marginal success with their machinations bent on destroying the tenure of prime miniature Truffles.

Unfortunately The Ugly American being now geriatric and his far right supporters in the Ruling Rabble (Rabid-the-Hun, Cap'n Catlic, Andrews, Tarantella Fascisti-Wells and the Mindless Torquemada, Sukkar ) being at any stage less than able, had their preferred candidate, Potato-Head Dutton outflanked by Truffles in, for once in his political career, some deft footwork and Scummo Morrison was elevated to be the right's next sacrifice along with his altar-boy Fiction's Frydenberg. Instead, the Potato-Headed patsy and his creepy little running mate, the Dickensian Ozone-Hole Hunt were left out in the cold.

Scummo's Running mate, Asbestos Bishop must have been out jewellery shopping when the vote was held as she only garnered 11 votes other than her own and more embarrassingly, none from her Far West rabble "colleagues".

Truffles' ineptness was on show earlier in this shambolic week when he bizarrely rose to second the Willie Shortstuff no-confidence motion in his tenuous rabble as Plibersek was arriving at the despatch box... to wit, she quipped "You may second it if you wish".

Chief wrecker, Rabid-the-Hun emerged from the party room meeting saying “....we have lost a prime minister, but there is still a government to save”.... meaning that getting to the right of Genghis Khan he thinks would be a tolerably good position and that he hasn't yet finished destroying any semblance of "centre" in the now fatally fractured Ruling Rabble.

So our new prime miniature is the Happy-Clapper and dog-botherering hypocrite,  Scummo Morrison. The bloke fired from Heading Tourism Australia for bullying and abusing staff, the same bloke unable to win preselection to the seat of Cook (lost 80 - 8) and then mounted a vicious and untruthful campaign against the winner to gain it, the same bloke who has been in charge of our concentration camps for refugees and had people die under his "care" and as treasurer, tripled the country's debt, flat-lined wages, increased under-employment, presided over growing inequality and says that the current Royal Commission into banks "...will be a waste of time ...nothing to see there..." and a climate denying, coal wielding aficionado bloke who thinks that by giving $60 billion in tax cuts to those who pay no tax, particularly banks will solve all our problems.

So this Possums is "the new  generation" of Ruling Rabble "leadership":  a generation likely to accede to the far right, be in the thrall of the putrid IPA and tell that "they're there for us..."

A right-wing coup by any other name, eh....Leprosy or Herpes... Your Choice.?

Hoo-roo Petals, fight on

Shane.

How Putrid is My Valley?

G’day Possums,

How putrid is my valley?

Just when you thought these ruling rabble types couldn’t get any worse, there they go, demonstrating once again that “lower than a Snake’s belly” is for them a pinnacle of achievement.

The Great Barrier Reef Foundation has confirmed one of its board directors Stephen Roberts, an investment banker has been charged by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for allegedly playing a part of a criminal cartel during a $2.5 billion deal and will step down as he faces criminal charges for cartel conduct.

One Marine biologist Charles Veron (the godfather of corals) has lost $60,000.00 from American donors who saw that the ruling rabble were being so munificent to private organisations and was perversely told when he applied to the GBRF for ¼ of 1% of what they hold for research that they had no money available.

Sniff, sniff… Truffles on-the-nose...Fictions Frydenberg…..inept..again!

With growing public anger at electricity prices providing windfall profits to energy companies and ruling rabble incompetents feeling electorally insecure, Notional Party Leader, What’s-his-name, announced that plans are afoot to force these privatised electricity companies to lower their prices or face Truffle’s wet-lettuce wrath as the bankers did before the RC set to excoriating them.

In a move decidedly opposite to “free-market” theory What’s-his-name has also inadvertently admitted to what most of us knew all along….privatisation of essential services is a failure-bound certainty for commonwealth.

Katherine Murphy on the Drum made it clear too, that the claim of cheaper power was actually a $150 fall if your lucky, not $500 as Truffles has, like his predecessor Rabid, wrongly claimed.

The outgoing public service chief, John Lloyd, breached the public service code of conduct by “failing to uphold the good reputation” of his agency when he passed research on to the Institute of Public Affairs, the right-wing think tank, which he used to lead.

The merit protection commissioner, Linda Waugh, has concluded that Lloyd should have considered that his action would look like “a political action … to build a coalition of support for his views” when he passed the document to the conservative

Waugh submitted the report into Lloyd’s misconduct to the parliament’s presiding officers on Wednesday, his last day in the role as Australian public service commissioner, but the conduct was not considered as being of “sufficient gravity” to warrant a recommendation that a sanction be imposed.

Golly, isn't it nice to know, in reality how venal these IPA apparatchiks are.....where are the sanctions against their continued erosion of democracy?

Head of the trustee responsible for NAB's super funds told the royal commission she never thought stealing from customers was a crime.

Really, sweetheart…oh, really?

Desiring nothing but solitude, privacy, understanding and money Barnyard Joyce has released a ficion book about the travails of a poor white country accountant who becomes victim to an evil woman... err, women and who subsequently loses the glittering prize of credibility.

Finding that his TV spectacular, “On Remaining Private” was enormously successful in that no-one watched and that his current squeeze is possibly a little demanding, Barnyard is back out harassing the public presenting as a pathetically misunderstood has-been who will surely be investigated by a Federal ICAC over the Murray/Darling shambles, ministerial clumsiness and other dubious dealings when removed from office.

Justice looms for the Beetroot!

Alan, Toilet-Boy Jones, Sydney loud-mouth, has suggested that both Barnyard and Rabid should be made special ministers for drought and natural disasters… Where did Toilet-Boy get that idea, the urinal wall?

“That's two horsemen of the apocalypse…” quipped one wit.

Do Dodo Dutton and Asbestos Julie make the other two?

So many candidates, so few positions.

Fraser The Arse-hole, (he defecates from both orifices) Anning unknown 3^rd candidate on the Noe Notion senate ticket who achieved a grand total of 19 out of a possible 3,000,000 votes and subsequently replaced the hapless Mal-Addled Roberts who fell foul of citizenship rules has provided compelling proof for a vetting system for political candidates be introduced.

Arshole subsequently jumped ship after refusing his leader, Appalling Hanson’s demand he stand aside for Mal-Addled to continue spewing his odd empirical wisdom’s over us all and slithered off to frolic with Katter The Cracked in the Deep North.

Well, he has given his maiden speech to the senate.

Politically, factually and historically inaccurate but more importantly, ethically bereft, Arse-hole’s fetid offering have appreciably lowered the bar for Australian political discourse continuing a trend begun by the Ruling Rabble’s Little Johnny Howard some 30 years ago and salaciously grubby enough for The Ugly American’s Murdoch gutter press to have paroxysms of joy in “reporting” their faux outrage whilst promoting his ideas.

Effectively, his anti-intellectual desire to gain notoriety, recognition and possibly 38 votes at the next election, has further opened the window to race-hate, gay bashing and misogynist rants being normalised as “free-speech” and countering his vile simplistic fascist ravings will just be viewed as “political correctness.”

Isn’t amazing what so called “conservatives” destroy to gain individual power?

The ruling rabble are the speed humps to progress, the boom gates to reform, the unmade road to the future.

Hoo-roo, Petals,

Shane.

Our Eroded Democracy...

G'day Possums,
The Murdochracy of the Ugly American is ramping up its venomous assault on Labor after the bye-election results didn't do the ruling rabble any favours.

This week alone, snide comments and asides from ABC  "news-readers" and panels loaded with right-wing commentators have been added to with copious airtime afforded to "Buzzfeed" Blimp, Alice Workman via the ABC's The Drum and Insiders to  hammer Emma Husar into the dirt over what seem to be pretty minor office civility infractions particularly when compared to similar activity in Michaelia, The Harpy Cash's office. Except in Cash's case, it isn't a newly arrived Yankee online gossip sheet digging dirt but the Australian Federal Police who are finally talking with the Dept of Public Prosecutions about criminal behaviour emanating from The Harpy's Office which, allegedly, they have been investigating for months. (Psst they the AFP are STILL investigating Kathy Jackson's apparently light fingered touch on union finances three years after they have started...)

Also being diminished in public consciousness by these  Buzzfeed irrelevancy's is the effective privatisation of not only the public service but also the CSIRO Marine Division with Truffles and his hapless Non-Environment minister Fictions Frydenberg unbelievably beau-gesting $444,000,000.00 to an almost unknown outfit of six people to "Save-The-Barrier-Reef" by putting umbrellas over it.

It's ironic isn't it? Let's save the Barrier Reef and destroy democracy at the same time by gifting $1/2 Billion to your business mates...???? Pure IPA agenda. Pure IPA desiccated thinking where civil society is a commodity to be purchased to make a profit. And let's assume, too the money is not returned under "commercial-in-confidence" bullshit as party-political donations in 12 months time....

Truffles and his inept Health Minister Pangloss, Hunt have been brought undone in attempting to "sell" the benefits of a digitised health record system by a health bureaucrat telling journalists that the pair's assertions that the system was secure was wholly innacurate. Thus providing another fine example not only of the Ruling Rabble's fiscal but policy incompetence as well.

In a moment of delicious schadenfreude and karma Sydney Shock-Jock Ray Hadley whose "Tough-on-Crime" and more severe sentencing regime diatribes regularly assault the ears of our northern neighbours, often accompanied, aided and abetted by ex prime miniature Rabid-the-Hun, Hadley blubberingly announced publicly that his policeman son had been "done" for Cocaine possession.

Now Petals, don't think I'm not sympathetic to the sons alleged "mental and addiction problems" , I am....(except, if I'd been caught "in possession" and pleaded mental health I'm pretty sure I'd stlil be incarcerated in goal) but when these mongrel lying right-wing would-be opinion setters, these vile castigators of the unemployed and homeless are found to have not just feet of clay but are wholly composed of mud then, good, bloody good!  Feel the hate for all you poisonous rantings,Hadley.

And before you go please read this beautifully written and heartfelt plea by Richard Flanagan....
