Hanging Out to Dry

Being hung out to Dry

G’day Possums,

The centenary of the 1918 Armistice has passed in appropriate solemnity with French President Macron reminding world visitors and particularly the Septic-Tank Pussy-Grabber, Frump that rampant nationalism requires an absence of morals. 

The sort of nationalism backlash-spawned by the end of a war begun for economic and trade dominance, one requiring authoritarian colonialism and abject racism.

Unfortunately this became abundantly clear here in Melbourne when a loose-minded man deliberately crashed a car loaded with gas bottles, set it alight and proceeded to stab at those who came to his assistance or were just bystanders until cornered and eventually shot by police.

With two seriously wounded and one killed, Ruling Rabble state representative in election mode Matty, Thug Guy (who enjoys Lobster with mobsters) and visiting prime miniature du jour, Scummo (in survival mode) both, we hope secretly, “praised the lord” for such a gifted opportunity and repeatedly declared ”..see, see... black gangs, black gangs ...it’s Muslim terrorism. Terrorism I tell you....." fear and loathing, fear and loathing..."it’s all out of control.. we need more punitive measures, bring back the lash"… deport them all.. "it's nothing to do with that tosh called mental health” etc, etc!

Sisto Malaspina, the man killed was a well known and liked co-owner of Melbourne’s Pellegrini’s pasta and coffee bistro: an icon of Melbourne living that has been in Bourke St since the 60’s and would have likely been on the blunt end of overt Oz racism as a migrant here, and would probably have demurred from such attentions as Thug and Scummo were delivering, particularly their spectacularly bad taste visit a day later to offer condolences whilst politicising his murder.

What rankled me Petals, was that Scummo in his usual insensitive “in-your-face” advertorial ranting style was praising a man he’d never met, let alone savoured Pellegrini’s food and coffee as I had on countless occasions... and way back, when you could eat in the kitchen at the public trestle tables.

Scummo’s genuine alright, authentic, too.. A genuine, authentic fake!

Scoring more “own goals”, Scummo unbelievably announced that commercial TV stations could now beam their tawdry home-grown content into New Guinea and other parts of Asia to “spread Australian soft diplomacy” to counter millions of Chinese Renimbi in the South Pacific.

Only five years ago The Ugly American, Murdoch complained that Radio Australia was broadcasting into Asia and that there had been no competitive tender. Tenders were called and the ABC won… but the contract was given by Rabid-the-Hun’s Ruling Rabble to the The Ugly American. Who subsequently ran the service down till after three years it is no more and soft diplomacy is all on the Chinese side!

Is it co-incidental that The Ugly American was in the process of divorcing Wendy Deng at the time and the Frumps were being warned against associating with her as a possible Chinese spy?

Scummo’s foreign affairs skills being commensurate with his empathy with refugees has Indonesia not “laughing up their sleeves” at us any more ... it's easier on the haberdashery to do it in plain sight. 

Even the dictator on Fiji is having a go, telling SBS journo’s to bugger off!

“But we are an independent nation...” melodramatically thunders Scummo as even the barnacles are leaving the wreck of the sunken SS Ruling Rabble.

Then there was the truncated Truffles fielding what must have been heavily vetted questions on QandA! 

None on why he made such a mess of the NBN, nearly destroyed the ABC, mangled Medicare, prostituted penalty rates / workers rights, decapitated defence manufacturing, eviscerated education, parched the Murray / Darling and promoted climate change deniers?

All they had to ask in different forms, as if he was wanted back, was, “Why are you no longer PM?”

Pathetic.

Have these Ruling Rabble incompetents wrought anything other than destruction to this country?

The French military casualties in WW1 were 1,385,300 soldiers. We lost, perhaps 70,000.

Why then do we spend five times more on memorials than the French?

Is it because we are so culturally and creatively bereft that glorifying militarism is all that the white-right-wing have to promote as a national identity is harking back to Federation's “White Australia Policy”?

Hoo-roo, Petals,

Shane.
