Watching the Demise of The Lucky Country

G'day Possums,

just when you thought our corrupt Ruling Rabble couldn't get any worse along sputters Covid-19  to show once again just how incompetent they are and their whole raison d'etre is, in practice.

Running out of medical gear like masks and testing kits because we now manufacture very little, and our chief medical research body the CSIRO has been financially gutted to keep Our Biggest Miner, Gina's and The Ugly American, Murdoch's play-thing The IPA happy in evolving an uncivil society, The Ruling Rabble are now concerned that the public hospital system will not cope with the numbers of sick being anticipated. Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that since their ascension in 2013 the public system has been relentlessly drained of funds and the slow dismantling of Medi-Care by increasing "on-costs" to "out-of-pocket" expenses for patients is causing people to avoid seeking attention as they cannot afford it and viola.. not getting tested.

Now, dilly-dallying over whether to allow students to stay in school and after calling for no public gatherings of more than 100 people, Prime Miniature Scummo, the Happy-Clapper from Marketing attended one of his Plastic Religious Concerts of some 3000..... Oh, hang on... that was the day BEFORE this particular dictum came into effect and the school students, well they might as well stay in school, as this Rabble have managed to mangle the broadband network so badly that it ranks 65th(?) in the world now (down from 4th) and would probably collapse if they all went home to use it together, if they could get on it. But the private schools, particularly the Catlics are giving him a single finger salute on that one as the parents of the Pricilla's and Bamber's are  keeping  their darlings safely ensconced in their middle class bubbles.

Home Grown

Once upon a time,  a very good Prime Minister, Paul Keating, said that governments can alter society and how it operates.

Well, for the past 30 years the relentless proselytising by the Ruling Rabble and its IPA propaganda wing that the aspirations of the individual are paramount has finally created its malignant actuality.

Hundreds of people stripping supermarket shelves bare, panic-buying multiples of white-goods, meat, canned and packet foods with altercations breaking out and in one instance, a stabbing occurring. Bus-loads of people vulture-like, descending on regional towns 100 km from their homes to do the same there, literally saying to those in the regions, "Fuck you Jack, I'm ok!"

We witnessed some of this locally, so went home and picked home-grown.

Scummo has the hypocrisy to then, like a school master say, "Stop it, just stop it, It's un-Australian." But as he was responsible for sports-rorting $300,000,000.00 of taxpayer monies to buy an election 12 months ago...... and since 2013 the selfish overspending, rorting of entitlements and travel allowances from this parliamentary Rabble has been nothing short of appalling in its unethical behaviour: so it's a complete farce that the scribbling minions from the Murdochracy praise his "straight talk" from one presser!.

But then, what other action can you expect from a population supinely fed the rightwing Murdochracy's  mantra that "socialism-bad capitalism-good" and also understanding that the law only applies to them and not those in power?

Since 2013 we have been witnessing the dismantling of a civil society and this week, the first large cracks appeared and chunks fell off... the IPA must be so pleased with their handiwork.

Hoo-roo, Petals,

are we just to sit back and watch this country's demise?

How did we get into this Shit?

G'day fellow serfs,

There's an irony of monumental proportions in the alleged Chinese aphorism: "May you live in interesting times".

The  Australian economy, perilously entwined in China's grip has now been presented with their latest innovation, the Covid19 pandemic and its corollary, the shutting down of supply lines, disruption of  commerce and reduction both populations and pollution in a most direct manner: death!

This has thrown up some interesting Antipodean behaviour; behaviour which hasn't been seen here for a long, long time.

People have been panic buying toilet paper and paper-towel rolls, some, thousands of rolls of it, leaving bare shelves and little to nothing for those who have immediate needs and can ill afford even single packs.

Hospitals, both public and private are being pilfered of bottles of alcohol hand sanitizer from hallways and wards:  visitors are stealing material meant for staff hygiene and patient safety, and these ill-disciplined, mongrel acts are now accurately defining, in depth, what we really are as a nation. 

 How did we get into this shit?

 

A visitor

Think: ex-Liberal Party candidate removed for racist comments, Pauline Hanson.

Think: Liberal Leader Little Johnny Howard refusing to criticize her after she won her seat as an independent.

Think: Channel Nine promoting the misogynist, racist and brutish Sam Newman to an audience of the lowest common denominator in "The Footy Show" and giving it voice.

Think: Little Johnny, again,piggy-backing on Hanson's racism, refusing refugee entry from MV Tampa and Peter Reith policizing the Navy and lying about "refugees throwing their children overboard".

Think: Pacific Solution" devised by The Butcher of Fallujah, now Senator, Molan.

and think too: it was all eventually acquiesced to by Labor!

Think of the union-bashing, the increase in a police state, the dismantling of Medi-Care, (people are not getting tested for the Corona Virus as they cannot afford the out-of-pocket costs) think of the growing inequality of the education system, the gutting not only of the ABC and CSIRO but the stackings of the AAT and Fair Work with Ruling Rabble apparatchiks.

Think: of The Institute of Public Affairs and its 100 Point Plan, much of which has been at least, partially implemented.

Think: Capitalism, Dog-Eat-Dog, and a return to a feudal state.

We have the most incompetent and corrupt government the country has ever seen and a Murdochratized media who will not report the truth plainly before them, journalists just being a vehicle with which to have Ruling Rabble talking points repeated and not questioned.

A Federal Police Force which itself is lead by a corrupted officer whose only role it seems, is to do Ruling Rabble bidding.

We've seen and heard their gross incompetence during the Bushfires. We know they still pathetically deny the reality of Climate Change and we are now experiencing their confusion and incompetence all over with this Corona Virus and yet are still allowed to refuse to answer for what they have done and are doing even though we are now fully aware of their fiscal mismangement and corruption. 

 

Excellent camoflauge.

Trust has evaporated with the rise of the aspirational bogan, a species well nurtured by the Ruling Rabble but who now are demonstrating where the selfishness of libertarian policy leads.

With wage theft ignored, poverty increasing, and systems breaking under relentless right-wing, neo-liberal pressure, a perfect storm is about to descend on this country.

We have just seen the first manifestations of a broken society and  have no-one else to thank for it but The Ugly American, Murdoch, the Liberal and National Parties and of course the IPA or, as I prefer to collectively call them, The Ruling Rabble.....it's the first wave of the tsunasmi about to break over us

Hoo-roo, peasants,

Shane

 PS something nice and something I'm quite proud of having produced.
