How Good is That?

G'day Petals,

Well, it's all over, bar the shouting... How Good is that?

The electoral commission had received hundreds of complaints about dodgy political advertising, accepted that 87 were in fact dodgy... and did nothing.... How Good is that?

Labor thinks The New Member for Chisholm Gladys The Caiman, Liu  needs her political advertising dissected... which if Boris the Buffoon in Britain gets lumbered with jail time for his alleged  political  untruths, then Gladys The Caiman might be a little concerned as to her future, too.... How Good is That!

 Uncle Warren Entsch in typical Deep North fashion and as "Reef Envoy" has declared that the Great Barrier Reef doesn't need saving but plastic needs collecting and that children would probably be better off doing that and not suffering "the child abuse" of being "coached" about climate change in their schools... How Good is That?

Killing two birds with one stone,  it seems The Liar From The Shire, Prime Miniature, Scummo, has decided to banish what passes as excuses for moderates in the Ruling Rabble and expel Arfur The Forgetful and Fifi, Slasher Fifield to overseas postings and fill their senate positions with fore-lock tugging right-wingers in the shapes of The Killer of Fallujah, Molan and failed Corangamite candidate Sarah The Mouth, Henderson. Arfah and Fifi will respectively, impersonate roles as Ambassador to Washington and Diplomat to the U.N.

Arfah no doubt will re-exercise his financial expertise to coach President Comb-Over in the Dark Arts of forgetting how your tax affairs and donations are  handled and Fifi will apply his considerable experience in eviscerating public body funding and shifting it to The Ugly American's coffers.... How Good is That?

Sri Lankan "refugees" arrive at Christmas Island..... but their timing was out by a week.... .  Bugger , no wonder they were shifted off , back to whence they came so quickly.... I wonder how much they were paid for this stunt by the Ruling Rabble who do have "form" in that area? 
Potato-Head, true to form, blames Labor...How Good is That?

An Ugly American beat-up, a fake news story about Willie Shortstuff's apparently simmering ambitions for leadership is far more interesting than the reality of a Zimmerman-Molan stoush as the Killer of Fallujah fires back that he's not "dishonourable."

Ex Ruling Rabble party president Zimmerman said Molan led a below-the-line campaign which “showed no respect for the democratic process” and as Ruling Rabble hierarchy look to introduce rules to disqualify candidates who "go rogue"...."Killer" denies that he's a rogue and spits another dummy.

Forgiveness in The Liar from the Shire's plastic religion has meant that Stuart, Wanna-Cheap-Rolex? Robert is to return from his Truffle's imposed purgatory to further mal-administer the NDIS, have the taxpayer fund his extraordinary internet fees, and provide remuneration to "independent " candidates at local elections,as you do if as straight as adog's hind leg... he will be joined by rehabilitated estate agent Sussan Whimsy, Ley no doubt looking to further her property portfolio as she sashays about the country perusing waste.

Ignoring the constitution and proselytising about enacting "Religious-Freedom-So-We-Can-Be-Rude-To-Whoever-We Want-Whenever-We-Want", various limited imagination bigots like Ferrari Mussolini Ferravanti  and Hitler-Youth, Look-a-Like Paterson are getting their Rosaries and tithing sheets in a knot as in true IPA logic, they salivate over expanding freedom by diminishing it........How Good is That?

Oh, and not forgetting another IPA "sleeper," Timmy Twat, Ex Freedom Man, newly minted and fatuously self-described as a "Modern Liberal" who sat as quietly as church mouse lest he attract attention when Marcia Langton (QandA, 27-5) excoriated Ruling Rabble ministers who congratulated The Egged-Anning on his racist speech. It is a repeating habit that on real social issues these plastic "freedom warriors" have very little to say. Perhaps, in reality, they just don't care for social justice? How Good is That?

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane

Stupid is As Stupid Does

Torn Dream

G’day Possums,

welcome to the Wake!

Scummo believes in miracles.

I don’t.

I believe that six years of relentless “bagging” of Willie Shortstuff and six years of daily lying about Labor’s policy’s from the Ugly American’s comics have had the impact required.

I believe that spending, it is said, $80,000,000.00, just to provide a leeching of votes to the Ruling Rabble by Clive The Obscene, Palmer in return for mining approvals worth billions is corrupt.

I believe that the repeated lying as Fictions Frydenberg did again on “Insiders” that removing a subsidy from 4% of very wealthy people is a tax on all, is corrupt, too.

I believe that 50% of this nation cares more about tawdry concocted television like “The Bachelor” than it does about the impending crisis of climate change becoming more manifest.

I believe that when someone who claims to be a xtian can oversee the deaths of refugees in concentration camps, who lies at almost every direct question about policy, who is a bully and whose social justice mindset is skewed by an imported, self serving “prosperity gospel” mantra, is a hypocrite who is not to be trusted.

Australian Imagination and Future

I believe that 50% of this nation has no idea what they in reality, voted for. They obviously don’t care that the ABC will be further dismantled, that public hospital services are going to become less efficient, that public education will be privatised and that their wages will be further eroded.

I believe that this 50% thinks they know what they were voting against but what they chose were lies, untruths, fabrications, misrepresentations and falsehoods…. but no policy. They are political illiterates who have no concept of consequences.

Corruption at the highest levels has been normalised, lying has been normalised, rorting the parliamentary expenses system has been normalised too, but 50 % of the population didn’t care about these putrid signals preferring instead to agree to the myths propagated that Labor are incompetent economic mangers when the opposite is the case.

The world has become a darker, more malevolent and narrow place as this re-elected Ruling Rabble incrementally choke off any semblance of progressive thought or action in their inexorable pursuit of their corporate nirvana, a fascist state.

Hoo-roo petals,

Shane

Invitation to a Wake.

Shane following the Money

G'day Possums,

like-minded Possies are invited to celebrate here, online, on Sunday May 19th, the death and possible obliteration of the Ruling Rabble who, collectively, have blighted this countries future, its reputation, social fabric and economy.

If you had watched ABC last Monday night: viewing first, the human induced disaster of the Murray/Darling, followed by seeing the crumbling of University board's ethics collapsing under IPA thought-bubbles of a "market economy" ( happily implemented by the Ruling Rabble) and then taken time to reflect on the historic shambles they have deliberately made of the NDIS, the 3rd rate NBN, the dismantling  of the car industries, the disembowelling of the CSIRO, health, education, industrial relations and the ABC, you may well have felt very depressed.

But then, Willie Shortstuff offered in his answers to questions on QandA  what looks at least like a vision for the future, offering a positive alternative, a broader, fairer space in which to breathe and to grow, rather than again soporifically accepting  that more of the same:  the very dark, musty and venally selfish place we're presently inhabiting nationally, is really satisfactory.

Earlier, surprising all the nay Sayers, Willie, had widely accepted "wins" in the first two "leader's debates", and while not eviscerating Scummo, exposed his bully-boy and then his Ruling Rabble as being as I've said for the past six years, a policy free vacuum running on slogans, hype, smoke and mirrors for their donors and ultimately for their own self interest.

First having established superiority on policy grounds and then presenting as an interested and engaging listening type with genuine human concern for the nation and its future, people "educated" by years of the Ugly American Murdoch's 20,000 negative articles and references to Shorten, suddenly found that in reality the opposite of The Ugly American lies was true.

This was too much.

An Ugly American shill, Anna Caldwell (Sydney's, Daily Terragraph), posing as a journalist, vomited up an article purporting to show Willie Shortstuff's (according to the Ugly American) well known duplicity in seemingly distorting a narrative about his dead mother's life and career in order to sound more human and approachable.

Well, as one of the main biased propaganda arms of the Ruling Rabble, The Daily Terragraph  found very quickly that it had kicked an "own-goal" of such proportions that even Ruling Rabble seniors began admitting that it was "all-over-red-rover" and that this marked a definitive turning point in the campaign. It also opened a floodgate of pent up resentment toward the The Ugly American's comic's  biased, lowest common denominator  distorted reporting ,its untruths, false equivalents and jaundiced world-view and factually sloppy column writing with past reporters and even current ones, expressing disdain for its editors low journalistic standards and irrelevance to the truth of what it writes nationally.

Interestingly, The Scum-Herald propaganda unit here in Vic where the Ruling Rabble are desperate to shore up once safe "blue-ribbon" seats from wipe-out, chose not to run Caldwell's pathetic ordure, showing at least, some sense of self preservation.

All of which happened Petals, in the week when American Diplomatic cables released from their time quarantine, provided evidence that in 1974 the not then American but still very ugly, Murdoch issued the directive to his Australian editors, "Kill Whitlam !"

How times don't change.

There followed next day the third debate where an initially flat Shorten eventually overhauled his opponent by dint of policy and finished him off with a couple of bon-mots, the best being when asked by the moderator, "How will you stop the revolving door of prime ministers?" answered drily, "When we've won this election."

If the Wake on the 19th isn't to celebrate the excision of the Ruling Rabble cancer from the Australian political body we will then be faced with a corrupted fractured party in power again, one which has normalized rorting of the entitlements system, normalized corruption, normalized lying on policy, acceded credibility to the far right and religious fundamentalism, degraded human rights, evaded personal financial scrutiny, has no interest in public education or the public broadcaster and wants health privatised like the 22 of its party who adhere to corporate interests / IPA ideas and not a national one.

Times will be far darker than ever before experienced.

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane.

Ps

for Scummo..."He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak."  Montaigne.

May Day, May Day or Mayday

Shane in May

G'day Possums,

What a confusing time. Should we be celebrating a May-Pole Dance with the Olde Worlde May Queen, the marching May Day Socialist Workers or because we're in dire straits, pleading for assistance, mayday?

All three probably.

The dancing pics are not only to illustrate but lighten the mood.....some-what.

 May pole dancing certainly suits the Nationals as it involves a lot of tripping about and weaving in and out in circles; a very similar action to their voting decision to "preference" The Red Terror's Noe Notion Party at the May 18 election. Their leader, Mc What-His-Name, justified this rank judgment on the basis that they had similar interests.

Now given the recent publicity for two Noe Notion candidates, this would indicate the Nats not only have an interest in bullshit but sleaze as well...apart from Barnyard Joyce's antics, that is.

Arabesque and piano

Steve Dickbrain, Noe Notion Leader in the Deep North, self proclaimed "family man"

 as well as second place on the Senate "ticket," fresh from attempting to woo the woeful NRA to become involved in Aussie politics so gun laws could be watered down, has been seen during the same trip to the Un-United States cavorting with a stripper, fondling her breasts, placing money into her briefs and making sexist and lewd comments about the strippers.

Dickbrain has resigned but his name will still appear on the Senate ballot paper, so like-minded lewdies, misogynists, and gutter brains with no respect for women can now find a candidate to match their immaturity.

His apology note requested in a gloriously funny Freudian manner that "...the pubic  leave him alone..." 

Noe Notion Candidate for Leichhardt, Randy Ross Mac.... who didn't "front" for the voting ticket ballot draw, was also  missing from a candidates’ debate and whose election corflutes haven't yet appeared, has probably been too busy..... posting captioned selfie images of himself groping strippers in Thailand to his FB page. 
You really have to ask , what was Mc What's-His -Name thinking?

Single foot.

 These genuine expositions of quality have upset The Red Terror, as watering down gun laws was a vote-winner with the "boy-o" morons but groping strippers and bad mouthing them although certain to appeal as well, could well make the women's vote problematical and give a "tone" to the party, which is well, as grubby, tasteless and as shabby as it actually is.

Publicly "tearing-up" as a "victim" at the frustration of losing her 21st candidate in unusual circumstances, she vented her anger at the media who "had unfairly targeted Noe Notion where others had been let-off-the-hook in similar circumstances" but made no mention of the unfortunate criteria she has for vetting the low-lives, bankrupts, ning-nongs, fruit-cakes and possible serial killers she consistently selects for candidature.

Could Jimmie The Sleaze, Ashby slither into being the next leader or will that role be mangled by ex-Labor Rat and the seemingly cross-eyed, Loopy Latham?

Oh, the fetid sordidness of Noe Notion..... and although bitch-labelling the putrid cabal is easy, it's worth remembering that she was once a Ruling Rabble candidate!

Jump

And they haven't been too flash on their pre-selections either Petals, losing three candidates to Sec: 44 of the Constitution and another to anti-Islamic, anti-Jewish fantasy/conspiracy rants. There are others earning the wrong sort of publicity, too which puts them "in-the-gun". One for views linking same-sex marriage to paedophilia that are just, rank: another whose views on Safe-Schools Program are viciously partisan and plain wrong: and a third who has spouted the bullshit that private schools are much better than public schools. Whereas in fact , the reverse is true.

Well may they call the Ruling Rabble a broad church. But it is a crumbling one, an irrelevant ruin.

 

Pas de Deux

As Handie Andy Hastie found out when trying to make the churches in WA support his right-wing notions that religious freedoms are somehow under attack for them being constrained by good manners in not being allowed to discriminate against those not to their taste, at least one priest told this RWNJ with an "interesting" military past, to bugger-off.

But then, Handie Andy is in another bit of bother, shooting himself in the foot by lying to the press about a meeting at a racist rally he had with Ultra RWNJ  and fascist, Neil "Thick-Skull" Erickson,  who's also claiming by-the-way, that the Ruling Rabble not only put him up to, but paid for his harassment of then Labor senator Sam Dastyari in public.

A broad church, indeed!

I think that calls for a Mayday. And then a May Day March,

Hoo-roo, comrades,

Shane.
