The Way Ahead

Shane In the Red Centre

G'day Possums,

the last brief post for 2018.

Mrs Wombat, self and No: 2 daughter + b/f travelled up to Alice Springs to congratulate No 1 daughter and partner on the arrival of their first child.

We house-sat, Cloe the Labrador-x a charmingly boisterous 12 month old pup, took in some of the sights, visited galleries, enjoyed the meat and service from Milner St Meats, re-discovered Mateuse Rose' and decided that The Tropic of Capricorn and points further north hardly qualify as habitable places for civilized beings.

We heard many complaints from shop owners and managers about Truffle's third-rate NBN, experienced being vetted when buying alcohol and also when granted admission to venues based on skin colour alone.

 

Iconic Red Centre Tree.

Started the trip at Melb airport standing near Rolex Robert's, Deep North Ruling Rabble rorter, happy-clapper, right-wing apparatchik and electoral manipulator whose bland indifference to the masses swirling about him only seemed to confirm  he's in it for what he can get out of it. 
And to justify that last comment..... " MP Stuart Robert Expenses 2018 Jan-Sept=$377,904.27 Not including Oct-Dec, Also not including Salary. #auspol 2017 Expenses: $559,130.68 Not including Salary By end 2018, This MP will have cost us over $1Mil expenses in 2 years with NIL NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT.".... where's the tumbril? 

 

But is it Art?

Which was different to the return flight from Adelaide to Melb where Michaelia The Harpy, Cash fouled the cabin atmosphere and presented a very different persona to the manic one she most often exhibits in parliament. 

At the luggage carousel as solitary as the very plain teenage wallflower at her first dance The Harpy was allowed a clear few metres of space by the public who stood cheek by jowl retrieving their own baggage. Perhaps it was the lack of whiteboard which made her look as lost and a little nervous or it might have been the anticipation of a ribald question about "Sugar-Daddies", Barnyard overdoing the family issues, Potato-Head Dutton's ludicrous spread in the deep north's Ugly American's Murdoch version of Völkischer Beobachter as Potato Head shat all over Truffles to prove what fine political instincts HE has! Or perhaps it was our useless G-G not being able to budget successfully like the mythical good upstanding fiscal conservative. Whatever it was, the black Patent Leather stiletto jack-boots with bling on the toes did nothing to ameliorate the image.  

 

Space

Ah well, we'll probably be rid of both of these impediments to a thriving country by next May.....hopefully earlier..... but there are so many of them and then there's the lieutenants like the beady-eyed Roskam of The Coot's-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe and the idiot propagandists like Bolt-the-Dolt who make the idea of Soviet style re-education camps seem a tolerably good idea.

Hoo-roo Petals,

there's much work ahead in 2019.

A Time for Reckoning....

Shane Wombat....Vanitas

G'day Possums,

I've been a trifle busy recently and very late with this posting which, in a way is not such a bad thing as it has seen much of the shrapnel from the explosive Tardis-State election result to fall back to earth as well as the smoke and fog of its politicking dissipate enough so that can see more clearly how the landscape has altered and who's left standing.

Not too many of the Ruling Rabble, Petals.

Matty, Thug Guy vacated the leadership and as an indication of how the talent in this cabal is very thin on the ground was replaced by O'Brien, the Vapid. Their primary anointed and Le Jongleur, Roskam's nemesis, Pesutto had had his safe seat kicked out from under him  and Finn, the Pious Lieutenant,  then did a "Henderson" moronically announcing that If the Labor Party and the Greens want to have more women in the Liberal Party, what "... they should have done, is not defeated them," and that, "...it would have been a very good thing if they hadn't run against our women."  

And they still wonder why they lost?

Even veteran right-wing spruiker, Morticia Savva was dully quiet on "Insiders," but in trying to explain why the Ruling Rabble really loved women, she seems to have forgotten that the only women Liberals ever spoke for wore twin sets, pearls, hounds-tooth pleated skirts, sensible shoes and blue gingham blouses, with a nice little blue scarf, a pink pullover draped over the shoulders and their "sunnies" propped up on their blonde coifs.

Definite smells of panic are emanating from Canberra as real funk sets in and this Ugly American Murdoch's IPA construct, this ruling rabble, this petty-minded, nihilistic right wing cabal of the most untalented dullards ever to soil parliamentary benches are now achieving the dysfunction of which they had falsely accused Labor since 2011. Their adherence to "Tea-Party" Republican political terror tactics has backfired stupendously well as they had neither the imagination nor wit to carry it off successfully. And for all those jumping ship like the "I-could-live-on-$40.00-a-day" Banks gel or the rorting Asbestos Bishop: they are all still tarred with the same damned brush of being the most incompetent, corrupt and damaging neer-do-wells ever to have office in Australia. Good riddance. It will take a generation to remedy the destruction they have wrought.

Scummo hastily announces that a "Federal Integrity Commission" is no longer a "fringe issue," but one that doesn't investigate pollies and their staff, which promptly, is howled down by all and sundry. Then Trump-like, says confusingly that the Oz embassy is to have its plaque in Jerusalem but office in Tel Aviv and to show what good guys we really are, we'll return a little of the funding ripped from health and education in the past years and hit the energy market "with-a-big-stick" (made of Balsa wood) to stop their profiteering.... a policy directly at odds with Ruling Rabble capitalism in being willing to ditch their IPA version of "free-market", free enterprise greed, in order to stay alive politically.

Greendale Landscape in Fog

Fiction's Frydenberg shows he is willing to rip up pristine wetlands for 30 Schekels of donor money... whilst Mummy's-Boy, Canavan praises Adani's "...we'll go it alone" announcement of its Galilee Basin coal mine, as "True Aussie Battlers..."

....what he really meant to say is that he's Adani's Little Aussie Butler!

Then a couple of F-35's arrived... at $25,000.00 per hour to fly and a range of only 1500 Km... we seem to have bought very, very expensive home defence fighters.

Who is going to pay for this corruption, this incompetency and damage?  Who will be brought to book? 

Do we start with The Ugly American or his lieutenants like Roskam ?

I wondered the other day how such a destructive Brit turd like Farage would have fared in the C16th. I doubt his damage to "The Crown" and its peoples because of his Brexit push would allow him to sail off unscathed into the sunset... I rather think that Hang, Drawing and Quartering might have been the order of the day.

There has to be a reckoning.... a severe one.

Hoo-roo, Petals

Shane.
