I mean, really ?... Is this is the rank level of your journalism?</div><div>It's not only the leftover's stale-male rabble but the women also who are constantly vile of speech and thought but are supported by so-called journalists like Annabel Crabbe who obviously spends far too much time in Hissy-Fits Sale's orbit, who penned a piece insulting the fiancée by listing her "achievements" and then being negative about Albanese's previous marriage. It was putrid stuff from what was, once a fine writer and commentator. And another, Maley of the SMH headlines her column with, "Albo's "recruited" a wife! " These scribes are a disgrace!</div><div>But then all these right-wing trolls have to deflect from the scandal of Potato-Head's quite probably, criminal mismanagement of asylum seeker monies which has been judicially reported on but which all of the media are studiously avoiding. The Specious One Speers on what is now a Ruling Rabble love-fest with a failing "Insiders" ( more than halved the audience so far in his tenure) spent 18 minutes detailing Labor's supposed failure because 18 boat people arrived in WA but a trifle over one minute on Potato-Head's fiscal perfidy. One!</div><div><br /></div><div>So too with Barnyard Joyce's latest inanity. All the excuses in the world are flying from the mouths, pens and other orifices of scribes supporting Barnyard who was filmed on the ground ranting into his phone after falling off a planter box in Canberra's main drag late at night. Drunk as a Skunk , Pissed as a Fart, absolutely hammered... but not out for the count in their books ... he could still be deputy PM one day. </div><div>As Phillip Adams cutely commented, "He was always noted as a good retail politician ... I just didn't know it was for Dan Murphy's!" And the current deputy leader of the Nats? She was forced to admit after some wayward thought and speech at a parliamentary enquiry that she'd imbibed a couple of glasses of wine before the meeting. </div><div>That our opposition decision makers are moral and ethical vacuums seems of no concern to The Ugly American's media minions but it's ok to attack the PM's engagement? </div><div>It's hard to fathom, beyond the politics of envy, to make everything a ploy to make all about a good government seem bad. Play everything as a negative and mis-report facts, carry stories slanted a particular way, use selective language and generally lambaste good work.</div><div> It certainly is beyond time that a Royal Commission in to the whole media is long overdue!</div><div><br /></div><div>Hoo-roo Possums,</div><div>Shane</div><div> </div>shane wombathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868927927934463796noreply@blogger.com2Dales Creek VIC 3341, Australia-37.5233356 144.3038258-37.53695006861345 144.28665966230469 -37.509721131386556 144.32099193769531tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123262395279115724.post-18342217624261895052024-02-06T15:58:00.001+11:002024-02-06T15:58:26.298+11:00<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO0nNBl3mUY5cvPAvbvPJHm3mWh7NmvnojagGaRUGMOCpo3nNHdKswU482g3CpSC_1WlvDP7wspaPXbSKTpbcki-heChcrDq7b0ZelxZbsUNuq3jPOVOfhoVz_BFAMBk2h3mJxKKl0PyNyHncs4ByHoqypawZfRjIqUjY3Q2jTRP6ZD8sV8JYPOf9L-50j/s602/Shane%20w-Sculpture_edited.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="398" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO0nNBl3mUY5cvPAvbvPJHm3mWh7NmvnojagGaRUGMOCpo3nNHdKswU482g3CpSC_1WlvDP7wspaPXbSKTpbcki-heChcrDq7b0ZelxZbsUNuq3jPOVOfhoVz_BFAMBk2h3mJxKKl0PyNyHncs4ByHoqypawZfRjIqUjY3Q2jTRP6ZD8sV8JYPOf9L-50j/s320/Shane%20w-Sculpture_edited.jpg" width="212" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Shane with new sculpture</span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></span><h4><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></span></h4><h4><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="text-align: left;">It's been a long time between drinks.</span></span></h4></div><p></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>The last post (<span style="font-size: xx-small;">pun intended</span>), was the day following Albo's Labor, the Greens and "Teal" </span><span>Independents</span><span> rout in </span>comprehensively eliminating the vile Scummo and his Ruling Rabble-Hellsong-IPA cabal from further rorting the taxpayer, lowering standards of behaviour and making a mockery of parliament.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>Much, </span><span>on that front,</span><span> has happened since and I will detail some of the events later in the blog.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I've started making sculpture again and have been exhibiting on a regular basis at a newish local viewing space.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>I suppose the impetus came from a real need to create things again and to let loose with a range of materials not just figurative pieces as had been the pasts main </span><span>oeuvre.

How the hell did we get here?....Easy. Federally, a total lack of leadership: corruption from the highest to the lowest levels: sheer incompetence and: a supportive, biased and compliantly Murdochratized and corrupted media.
Sounds Trumpian?... you bet!

Yes, that one.
Scummo the Liar's backgrounding against Higgins probably brought a wry smile to Michael Towke's face; and the Liberal women who attended the Higgen's &Tame's rather large rally for women at parliament house looked quite uncomfortable, understanding for once that they were, generally, not amongst their normal milieu of Pru's & Tru's.</span></span></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpuhcdZItpkjV15v3SH8xrLgBI6JVP7Y-0ifX_u2CjIulCPFF-bdiXg8QVdPjpaDcgk_Ot9q8o3lfy3tJOqCSoxG0A6zYkZZOTo0x_V74ObdgZb6YijKrcLrvlGU27bW4L1hlM14weJylJVIl4CvBHoDWm1_Bg4SIE-Q_yeeoZJNXxz-DldoAAE3DQjA=s393" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="278" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpuhcdZItpkjV15v3SH8xrLgBI6JVP7Y-0ifX_u2CjIulCPFF-bdiXg8QVdPjpaDcgk_Ot9q8o3lfy3tJOqCSoxG0A6zYkZZOTo0x_V74ObdgZb6YijKrcLrvlGU27bW4L1hlM14weJylJVIl4CvBHoDWm1_Bg4SIE-Q_yeeoZJNXxz-DldoAAE3DQjA=s320" width="226" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj__E5jMDLxLjcwXfK0Apubz-vga0E54vJ2uvuQuWvbTlv4yRMd_ntoMIAQbYTp6bJhC0UaNIGydOaI7fJFO9cl3ss4E8fnodmgpWSYwDj5Cj2sWq6RZiOPRYVh3c0VmHs1Ew2hCar4zmpG-d3qEii9__6vUDeEQrDtq42WzFExYxVR_9ZXh-xTktMHrQ=s774" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj__E5jMDLxLjcwXfK0Apubz-vga0E54vJ2uvuQuWvbTlv4yRMd_ntoMIAQbYTp6bJhC0UaNIGydOaI7fJFO9cl3ss4E8fnodmgpWSYwDj5Cj2sWq6RZiOPRYVh3c0VmHs1Ew2hCar4zmpG-d3qEii9__6vUDeEQrDtq42WzFExYxVR_9ZXh-xTktMHrQ=s774" style="display: inline !important; padding: 1em 0px;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black;"> Aided and abetted by the Mudochracy, a "turned" ABC and promoting Scummo the Liar's politicking over covid that "Labor premiers bad, Liberal premiers good" the tin-foil hatted, anti-vax , fascists literally hit the streets, particularly in Melbourne where Dan-the Man had stopped Covid but was being hounded as Dictator Dan for his success. </span></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj__E5jMDLxLjcwXfK0Apubz-vga0E54vJ2uvuQuWvbTlv4yRMd_ntoMIAQbYTp6bJhC0UaNIGydOaI7fJFO9cl3ss4E8fnodmgpWSYwDj5Cj2sWq6RZiOPRYVh3c0VmHs1Ew2hCar4zmpG-d3qEii9__6vUDeEQrDtq42WzFExYxVR_9ZXh-xTktMHrQ=s774" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black;">Sydney's, St Gladys of Binchicken (Saviour of the Nation according to Clueless Coorey of the fin revue) soon reversed that as she did in every other state successfully tackling the virus, by sending forth tainted emissaries to join her crusade of "living-with-the-virus-your-lives-are-not-as-important-as-the-economy-peasant."

it's been another three months between drinks Petals and the reason

repetitively writing such a negative essay each week…. and often on

much brighter light on these culprits, their “activities” and

has occurred to me that although the IPA/Ruling-Rabble/Hellsong cabal
of Scummo from Marketing lacks many things: talent, vision, honesty,
creativity, manners and empathy just being a few, it does have two
things; unknowing perseverance, and in inordinate abundance: hubris.</span></p>

Covid-19 re-regulated the way we live and interact perhaps we were
too busy to fully notice those two characteristics (I ‘m loathe to
call them qualities even though Scummo from Marketing probably would)
…..but since we’ve all had to step back from our lives, much like
the skies being bluer and the stars crisper due to fewer planes
exhausting the air those other things have become much clearer too,
particularly the latter.</span></span></span></span></p>

hubris pushed along by unknowing perseverance has been like a
tumbling, coalescing gas slowly becoming more rank the more visible
it becomes as it envelops and fuses the country into a fascist state.

<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it's
been a while between drinks.... the year opened with the nation in
crisis and at closing, is as started but with the crisis
deepened, ‘though it's re-assuring to know that one thing has
been constant... our Pentecostal excuse for a Prime Minister, Scummo
of Bunning's Marketing is again, nowhere to be seen during the

<p style="line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being
in a regional area the lockdown was not as harsh as it was in the
Met. areas and we had limited travel. Patience was in the mood of
things and people were more accommodating… the roads were nearly
vacant , masks were awkward and uncomfortable but I could remove it
regularly, not like many workers who were sentenced to hourly use. </span>

<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Life
was quieter and I began to enjoy the clearer bluer skies as I turned

much damage on the country.</span><p></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><br />
<br />
</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;">
</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
Covid lockdown of Victoria (or Hookturnistan under our "Dear
Leader", Dan-the-Man) produced some really hilarious moments: as
when Wine student turned Murdocratic feral, Rachel the Blatherer had
Dan Andrews explain the nature of "intimate" relations in
answer to another of her asinine questions during his 100 days of
continued press conferences…. Or other journalists laughing at the
pretensions of Peta, Drink-Driver, Credlin the Credulous in her quest
to “get” Dan.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Content
(on the surface) to let the bile coming at him from all sides wash
around him Andrews gained much support from the public through awful
times by being there and answering all that was put to him and being
responsible. A demeanour not lost on his critics particularly when
Covid was effectively suppressed with no cases for 60 odd days due to
the strictures put in place and much to the rabid anger of the
right-wing shills who had been braying that that couldn't be done.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One
of the saddest things to see was how the Vic. ABC has been
bastardised into a bilious opinion service not a news one with Dicky
the Wanker Willingham leading the chorus with anti labor diatribes
whenever he opens his mouth. But why so very quiet on ex police
commissioner (and Liberal member) Ashton who didn't want Vicpol
involved in hotel quarantine or Scummo who suggested the firms
involved?</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Congruent
to this, the beatification of Gladys the Gormless was taking place in
NSW. The premier had according to Scummo of Bunning's
Marketing, (making one of his rare appearances after surfacing
from under a pew at 7 Stapleton Ave.) made her State the "gold
standard" for all things Covid....which was in contrast to her
putrid performance in lying to ICAC, her cosy-ing up (Rachel
Blatherer now knows what Dan means) to a disgraced colleague and
funding his errant ways, rorting the public purse, mismanaging
infrastructure deals, holding pressers only with selected Murdocratic
propagandists and running away when things get a bit hairy. She's
given herself away about the depths of her ideologically driven
premiership. Her "pressers" are a wonderful example of how
not to run anything.... but she's a "shoe-in" to best
Jacinda Adern in the popularity stakes... according the what used to
be a reliable newspaper but now just a tripe-fest of Ruling Rabble
talking points owned by 9.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As
with most of Scummo of Bunning's Marketing announcements spin
preceded reality and Covid's taken off again mostly due to Gladys the
Gormless no doubt taking advice from Scummo who is probably only
looking forward to the "Rapture" not the welfare of the
nation.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Needless
to say the same vituperative questioning which greeted Andrew's every
presser was not to be seen....Gladys can make a real shambles of her
"gold standard", she can make medically wrong statements,
give conflicting and confusing advice, contradict her own CHO (whose
a very tame Pussy) and the attendees I cannot say journalists, say
nothing.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This
resurgence of the virus has because of the incompetence in NSW, all
the hallmarks of being even bigger than Vic's nasty episode. I'm sure
Peta the Credulous, the Drink Driving One will be there to find the
answers for her devoted ....follower.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Such a
year: The Priapic Tudge, “</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
am honoured to be appointed as the Minister for Education and Youth
in the Second Morrison Ministry.” T</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">he</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
swearing-in ceremony was virtual – a fitting end to 2020. Ooohhh..
thinking of all those svelte first-year-out graduate teaching gels..
?...Phoaaaooooaaaah!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Virtually
every system failure can be sheeted back to privatisation. Aged care,
employment services, NDIS, vocational education, hotel quarantine,
refugee detention, MDBP, electricity generation, ports, private
health, private schools, banking & finance...the list is endless.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
private operator set to take over Adelaide's train network in January
will not have enough staff to operate a full service, and will rely
on taxpayers’ money to fill the shortfall.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cyber
bullies and online trolls could be slapped with huge fines of up to
$110,000 under world-first laws to be introduced by the Federal
Government.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Online Safety Bill will make it illegal to post “seriously harmful
content” on websites and social media, such as death threats,
revenge porn and comments that intentionally “menace, harass or
offend’.</span> … which may make it hard for The Ugly American’s
rags to feature their very offensive front pages during elections….</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given
the chance to find “a new way” because of Covid, the Ruling
Rabble / IPA / Hellsong cabal have instead “doubled-down” on
their regressive and anti-social neo-fascism. </span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It will
be an interesting year because they have set and are continuing to
set agendas which will blow this country to bits… they have blown
up trade with China, blown away tertiary and secondary (state)
education, gutted and cowed the only once independent news service,
mangled MediCare. They have shown criminal cupidity in financial
matters and now are widely seen as the most corrupt federal
government in Oz history.. they will reap what they sow… it’s not
the rapture they will face.</span></p>

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..

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

since 2013 the selfish overspending, rorting of entitlements and travel

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It’s been a while since posting.
Renovations in the burrow being one excuse although again, the real truth is
that it’s depressingly difficult to keep repeating a constant mantra detailing
the incompetence, malfeasance, cupidity and abject corruption of
The-Liar-From-the-Shire, The Happy-Clapper-Prime Miniature Scummo from
Marketing and his criminal cabal of the Ruling Rabble who continue debasing the
nation. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">But with weekly gaffes, revelations,
leaks and stumbles it would be remiss of me not to chronicle just how the
country continues to be violated by these mongrels.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Fresh on the heels of his disastrous
empathy lacking displays during the bushfires (still ongoing, despite current
torrential rains and flooding) and his overtly bullying demeanour came the
double whammy’s of Barnyard and the Joycettes getting their band back together
by trying to upstage Deputy PM, What’s-’is-Name for the main gig and an enquiry
from the outgoing independent member for Indi Kathy McGowan to the Audit Office
as to why Fishnets-that-Batter’s daughter, the hapless Gorgon Downer of-the-IPA
was, as an aspirant candidate, handing out thousands of dollars of taxpayers
money in novelty cheques to sporting clubs with no parliamentary member
present?</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Mummy’s Boy, Canavan and Ploddy O’Brien
decided that preferring the noise Barnyard made was stridently better than the
muffled mouthings of What’s-’is-Name so formed their own trio and made a failed
audition attempt to wrest the main gig from him. Failing, Barnyard then
lurchingly and leeringly fronted cameras to warn What’s-is-Name that he was
loyal but dangerous and What’s-’is-name responded by wishing Mummy’s Boy,
Canavan a good rehearsal and giving his job to Pitts...where it has duly gone
...and saying too, what no-one believed; that he was in full control of his
rump of a group.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Concurrent with this fracas of rural
non-entity, ego bashing came news that under pressure, Annie Oakley McKenzie
was forced to jump under the bus driven by Scummo from Marketing for her
“non-illegal, eligible” spending of hundreds of Millions of public money to not
aid the “miraculous” election result and that the Federal Police, admitting
that An-us Taylor was too canny for them dropped investigation of a forged

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The increasing absence of goodwill and the Ugly American's media
Murdochracy's attempts to normalise Scummo's plastic money-cult religion (more
akin to the "Cargo-Cult" which developed in New Guinea after WW2) has
I think, made people begin to feel like the tolerated but not loved companion
in a relationship that's foundering. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And therein
lies the problem... to be disengaged because you dislike politics in one thing
but to disengage because all feels hopeless.... that there is no future is very
dangerous....Scummo may believe his fantasy cult's millenarian
"end-times" bullshit but it may actually be closer for him than he
thinks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

their right mind gives flying fuck over what Scummo thinks any more? Time after

His purported "faith" is a business scam and his ethics are as
shallow as his empathy which has to be "coached." But then, he is the
leader of his party...which speaks volumes not only of their "talent"

<span style="font-family: Alef;">Way back in 2011-12 when I wrote the
headline banner for this blog </span><span style="font-family: Alef;">I was, to a certain extent, a little “tongue-in-cheek” about the “…..
inexorable descent into fascism.” but it now seems that that the statement was
quite prescient. </span><br />

close to collapse, up pops Angus, no, not the bull, but Taylor </span><span style="font-family: Alef;">(the only similarity being that both are full of shit)</span><span style="font-family: Alef;"> of "Grass-gate",
"Water-gate" and now "Clover-gate," who has again blithely
perverted parliamentary truth and legal codes of conduct in attempting to
secure his wife (more on her later) the position of Lord Mayor of Sydney. It
seems that Taylor “The Anus” thought that a bit of “black ops”, document
altering and forgery, about travel expenditure might be a good way to embarrass
the present Lord Mayor, Clover Moore at her forthcoming council elections.</span></div>

to note that for once a Sydney professor of climate science has stuck his head

“policy” for what it was. Bullshit!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Akin to Thunberg’s
deliciously blunt speech to the United Nations which has seriously riled those
automata of “the right” by succinctly pointing out that their authoritarian
destructiveness toward the planet in the pursuit of profit is futile if mankind
is to have a future, people now seem freer to simply express their alarm at the
mess being perpetuated for future generations.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">As the climate tipping
point is being reached so too, it seems, is the level of disquiet by the masses
of young who are now ripe for what could be revolutionary action in order to
wrest control from those lukewarm politicians, lying media propagandists and
the corporate criminals responsible for ignoring the facts that scientists have
been consistently putting in front of us for 50 years.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Spouting their
unintelligent conformity to IPA, Murdoch, The Ugly American and Koch bros.
denialism and piling in to viciously attack Thunberg has not only resulted in
fully exposing how threadbare their arguments are (and have always been) but
also how little they are doing and unproductive they are in addressing the
existential threat facing us. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In recognising the very
real threat that the honest plain speaking of the young Swede inspires for
change out came the usual cabal of character assassins, not singly as is usual
but en masse which has had quite the opposite effect to what they were probably
hoping for. They drew attention, all too clearly, not to any error in Thurnberg’s
pronouncements but only to their own elitist narcissism and malignant
aggression in having only one mode of action; destruction.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Fearing
the Bogan Happy-Clapper, Anti-Christ<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>was getting deserved bad press by the sheer lack of enthusiasm in his
Pacific debacle that was being displayed by the Ugly American's media, Sydney's
Turd from 2GB, Toilet-Boy, Jones employed his famous double play where he
distracts attention with a "look-over-there..." comment but which also
gains the narcissist the notice he so desperately craves from his dwindling
audience of geriatric racist, misogynists. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Calling
for Scummo's minders to advise the Liar-from-the Shire to tell NZ's Jacinda
Ardern that she should have Scummo "....give her a few back-handers..." and have a "...sock pushed down her throat..." by having the temerity to question Australia's commitment to amelirorating climate change, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Toilet-Boy
thus added to his already replete lexicon of misogyny and hate speech and
basked in the notoriety of his foulness when called to task, with the insulting justification that he
had meant to say "stick a sock in it"...and that he, once again
victim, had been "wilfully misinterpreted".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">But
advertisers who must have thought otherwise began to desert 2GB and management
warned Toilet Boy that if he insulted Adhern again his contract was void by applying</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;"> the old 375 -strikes-and- you're-out, rule! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">So, Toilet-Boy, hero to the last, apologised to Ardern, "...like a man..." in the hope of stemming the tide of receding revenue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">But
