G'day Possums,
We are so lucky in this luckiest of a lucky country.
We have been belled oops, bountifully
appointed with anointed political officers who are ever ready to make
themselves available to meet the people they so blessed to serve.... no matter
how far out of sight and/or mind they really are.
Prime Miniature du Jour, Scummo, for instance has just completed what could
be likened to a truncated Oral Roberts tour to the natives of The Deep North,
spreading the word of his prosperity gospel and demonstrating at every moment
his genuine suburban authenticity as a counterpoint to the evils of The Red
Terror, Hanson's Noe Notion Party.
In the same vein as the late Roberts and using, in
lieu, The "I Ching," as my copy of the Bible evaporated many years
ago: I opened it at a random page to seek guidance as to Scummo's
progress: Hexagram 39. Obstruction. "Difficulties and obstructions throw a man back on himself.
While the inferior man seeks to put the blame on other persons, bewailing his
fate, the superior man seek the error within himself, and through this
introspection the external obstacle becomes for him an occasion for inner
enrichment and education."

How serendipitously apt... for remember how Scummo's
first pre-selection went "pear shaped" at 82-8 and was then miraculously reversed: and how earlier on being sacked from Tourism
Australia he is afforded a generous payout, and more recently how his unalloyed
support of the besieged Truffles, again, miraculously lands him in the
Top-Job?
Even as Commandant of our
regional concentration camps it wasn't Scummo's fault that people were suicidal
but Labor's, and it wasn't his fault that all around him were telling lies
about the camp's conditions.
Why, even his rival for the Top-Job, Rabid-the-Hun
is on the record as noting these places are a wonderful place for a holiday!

Scummo's
commitment to has flock is such that ever mindful of reaching his people
his empty tour bus is over-flown by his RAAF flight so that next morning the bus can be
utilized as a temporary pulpit from which to descend and spread the word that salvation is nigh.... as long as
you're not LGBTQQIA, Labor, Green, want penalty rates , Medicare, honest banks,
a genuine public service, a proper NBN, a funded NDIS not a "kitty"
for farmers, a funded CSIRO and a
funded ABC!

Having spent quite some energy lambasting Labor's
Willie Shortstuff traveling all over
the country during the past 12 months for his old fashioned Town Hall meet and
greets, the Ruling Rabble has decided that actually talking to disparate
plebians might provide some advantageous publicity.... but knowing their utter
disdain for "the great unwashed" who are not IPA members they will
probably go to the central casting bureau they used last election to provide
some Types: "working", safety vest, overalls, boots (sans Rolex and manicured nails) nurse, uniform, just-do-it 1/2 smile, "pensioner":
Unlined, semi-attractive, slim (Julie Bishop), "Busy Working Mum"
30-ish, 21/2 children (optional 1/2) middle-class, with small 4WD in mock
Georgian house, to attend their vetted meeting with vetted questions and
"canned" applause.
It's happening already Petals: Sabra Lane today on ABC's nobbled
"AM" spent the last 10 minutes of the program sounding like she was
reading a prepared set of questions for Ozone-Hole Hunt's (now the deliriously
incompetent minister of sickness)
factotum Trenty Zimmerframe, who announced yet another enquiry to
further the pretence of caring and looking active, not their usual moribund
selves.
This one is allegedly about sleep patterns for workers .
Possibly to
find a way around penalty rates for shift workers, particularly nurses and
"fireys."

One thing that is certain in all this. It is that The Ruling Rabble's mendacity, cupidity and corruption IS authentic and all fatuous variations on a theme of care for the suburban plight has as much truthfulness as Arbiet Macht Frei had for the souls that passed beneath its falsehood.
Hoo-roo Possums,
Shane.
Not commenting any more just now - it has all got so completely surreal, one scarcely knows where to start. And wtf is Scummo doing with his fly-drive tour of Qld when there is a Victorian election in a week or 2, and a NSW one in a month or 2? We all know the state pollies don't particularly want him around, but you might have thought, with his marketing (aka professional lying) background, that maybe ... No, stop it, you can't make this stuff up, and it makes NO sense, or anything else, for that matter ... Back to the interstices of the State Library and the family history etc - much more rewarding, not to say diverting, these days!!
