Mugs and Shots

Shane Mugshot

G’day Petals,
In an online conversation with Canadian photographer John Smith I was surprised with his awareness of what is happening in Australia, particularly with “Rabbutt-the-Hun” and Christopher ”The Whyne-and-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect” Pyne. He then said he’d come across a series of mug-shots and saw that some looked like our less than esteemed “leaders”. I had a look too, and Voila…. John was correct… I hope you find these amusing and exhort you to have a look at a Canadian’s blog as a thank you for his interest in Oz.

The Carbon Pricing Scheme has finally been destroyed by the alliance of PUP Bogans, La-La Far Righters and the Mindless Liarbrils…. whose celebration of its demise was like a pre-pubescent’s end of school flour fight. It made me think that they must live in a very small, very insular bubble; a space not connected to a real world of humanity but something constructed, ordered and devised just for them to feel secure before they are forced to grow up and acknowledge that as real adults, they have responsibilities to a sphere larger than the hip pocket.
 
Squizzy as Pyne
Squizzy Taylor ..how appropriate!
But suddenly we are having a real climate change debate where the denier-a-saurs can’t be invited. Will “Direct Action” work? Will it achieve anything like the 20% reductions in emissions the Carbon Pricing mechanism did?
In these arguments there is no questioning of whether Climate Change is real but which is the most effective way of ameliorating its real effects.
Climate denier-saurs are finally made extinct by their own machinations.

Can "Rabbutt-the-Hun's" mind work in anything other than cliches? Referencing the murders on the Malaysian Airline flight MH17 in interview with Fran Kelly, (ABC “Insiders” 20-7-14) "the Hun” said, "... there were 36 that Called Australia Home...", “…. we will work purposefully, methodically, continuously…” and; “…. Big countries don’t intimidate small countries…that is wrong…”
Is this man is very, very sick?
The use of a Peter Allen song and subsequent theme for Qantas (who btw, is cost cutting and trying to offload its aircraft maintenance to Malaysia) is not just bad taste and appalling judgement but salient to this man’s psychopathology

It seems to indicates a mind lacking any empathy with the reality of the situation particularly when this mongrel prime miniature again brings his daughters into the equation by relating how they had flown from Europe on flight MH-17 some weeks before….So what! So had hundreds of others. What was this supposed to achieve, identification with the victim’s families or just drawing attention to his own little world?
His body language was noteworthy, too. A flat hand, mostly palm down in rhythmic down beat time to his halting 2-3 word utterances: “Now, Fran…what we um have been doing… we have been um…been doing …is methodical, purposeful and consistent…um er, getting the job done… er, Fran.”  In other words, “Fran, F***K Off, we will do whatever we want!”
His answers indicated that while listening to the question in detail “Rabbutt” processes only those elements he can respond to from the repertory of catch phrases and slogans that suit the IPA agenda. The answers have the rhythm of the learned, the memorised and practised stock phrase: oddly, quite like the rhythm of saying the psalms.

Cory Bernardi

Gerard “Sydney Geriatric Institute” Henderson perched on the couch of “Insiders” like a malevolent Gargoyle opined that “Rabbutt-the-Hun” was leading the world in his criticism of Putin’s lack of humanity. 
Oi… what an inflated juvenile view of their own importance these Liarbrils have… as if Putin would care what mosquito bites Australia had in store for Russia.
When the European Union, Britain, and the USA together start criticising, Putin MIGHT listen to them….but as the Europeans need Russian gas ……….
And why would Putin listen to humanitarian blather from a little country which has a 2/6worth of trade and that has re-introduced C18th type prison hulks to incarcerate refugees or bullied a despoiled Timor-Leste over the Timor gap oil reserves?

Tony Abbott

They talked of being "grown-up", having policy's, being organised, inclusive, collegiate, caring, full of vision.... it didn't take a genius to work out that they had none of the discipline, maturity, imagination, intellect, humanity or just plain "couth” to be any of these things.... they were and remain a rabble, who are quickly sending Australia to a top league laughing stock as the economic "White-Trash" of Asia.

Warren Truss

These barbarians, (what else can you call them?) are deliberately trashing the country and its future. Ruling according to the dictate of the IPA’s (Coot’s -With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe) miserable medieval, right wing “free”-market theories.
I heard their Head Troll, Roskam, “Plonker#1”get well and truly “worked over” on Faine (ABC 774) by wives and members of Vic. Ambulance, when showing to the Ambo’s pay and conditions dispute all the empathy of a Scrooge trained accountant.
He made me wonder if his humanity is delivered in small amounts via an ATM.
Needless to say, even though some of the talk-back on Faine’s program (ABC 774) silenced him and there was a hint of doubt becoming apparent in his voice you know that this right-wing ideologue never conceives or accepts that he can be wrong and he and his Murdoch/Rinehart funded ilk is what is destroying this nation soul.

Winking a train wreck

Shane at train wreck
G’day Possums,

Too many years ago when this Wombat was more lithe, svelte, fitter, unwrinkled and agile he was a dancer. I only mention this because tonight I’ll be off to a re-union of a whole lot of people who were taught or directed by Betty “Sparkle Darlings” Pounder and searching through images to post online that I shot during those years has re-ignited many memories.
Memories which are the antitheses of today’s Wombat Droppings: “Winking a Train Wreck”.

Ballet Theatre Australia
BTA rehearsal
Tap with Olive Wallace, ballet with Ted Miller,  contemporary with Betty Pounder and then a couple of shows and tours around Australia performing in the chorus. It was a formative experience.

Ballet Theatre Australia
BTA rehearsal
There is something in the dance and theatrical experience that is whole.

It has a reality in its “play” which nothing else comes close to matching; and a sense and awareness of others that is truly social and rarely replicated in “real-life”.

Ballet Theatre Australia
BTA rehearsal
The spatial sense that is exquisitely dance and its total movement quality, is never challenged by kinetic sculpture, which is mundane by comparison.

To work, it must have an inherent honesty….. which is now why we now view a train wreck in......

.....Wombat Droppings.

Going round the bend recently to visit Geelong, the Prime Miniature (for and of the “Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe,” the IPA) “Rabbutt-the-Hun’s” train was derailed by Federal Police who, (it was asserted) alerted him to the possibility that they couldn't guarantee his safety from the ire of Geelong students who were now less than sanguine over the probability of having to paying $60,00 –$200,000.00 in fees, in perpetuity, for a degree in Barista-ology. 
So he re-routed himself to Melbourne for a couple of talk-back interviews.

This had three results.

1/ It forestalled Tardis State “Where-All-Goes-Backward,” pretend Premier, Dennis “Inutilus Rusticus” Naptime (attending in Geelong to open a new venture) from causing “Rabbutt-the-Hun” more physical damage than the students were capable of as retribution for wiping at least 5% off the sagging Liarbril vote in the forthcoming Tardis State election because of the horror Federal budget.

2/ It allowed many Tardis State natives to hear clearly and then to see (via you-tube) with utmost clarity the emotional and intellectual abyss “Rabbutt-the-Hun” inhabits.
“One-Term-Tony” as he is frequently now called, fully exhibited for John Faine’s audience on ABC’s “774” a winking sleaze factor wholly incompatible with the office he is said to hold.
Not that this should be news to anyone but it’s another and more salient episode in this boorish politician’s history of less than funny gaffes.

3/ Slipping the points at “774,” he shunted himself off to a rival station, the Liarbril, Reactionary-Aspirational-Bogan minded, 3AW. 
Thinking he had at last finally achieved the right platform at this cross-road was no salvation.  Unloading his baggage here turned out to be a confession too far and it was more like dumping the dirty washing of the wrong client, in the wrong order at the wrong laundry.


Getting your own budget facts confused in detail can sometimes be excused but making it obvious that you cannot explain why the poorest in this land are to be paying for the richest went quite a way in stoking the boilers of dissent. 
 In making obvious to all how un-christian, anti-social, mean-spirited and IPA-market-oriented the rails these Catholics would have us travel,  many in the audience were letting off steam.


Which is possibly why Matthius “Horse-Shite” Coormann thinks that we like frogs as the water warms to boiling, will “get used to it all and accept our fate..”  of being reduced to the status of serfs.

Then, as if it were not possible to get better came the news that Speaker of Parliament Bronwyn “Call-me-Madam, Pompador” Bishop was inviting us all for a knee’s-up in the Taxpayer funded Speakers Dining room. For only $1500.00 a head you can aid the Liarbril cause in banning all other political parties from the lower house.
Please bring your own brown paper bag or if you forget it, see “Arfa-da-Spiv” Sinodinas… just behind the Great Hall’s third pillar on the righ; Password: Sydney Water.

Which was followed by the exciting revelation that Rabbutt-the-Hun’s“ daughter, Frances will not have to pay $60,000.00 in tuition fees at the academy she attended when a director (and Liarbril fundraiser) discovered a long forgotten Scholarship, which like Cinderella’s slipper, was not available to anyone else.
Slipping on the rails were two others choice pieces of traffic:

!/  Yank, Bill Morrow, recently appointed to head up the copper-wired downgraded and  bastardized joke of a NBN  has been named in a legal action as “allegedly putting profits before safety and being subsequently responsible for one of the largest utility disasters in Californian history".

And 2/   Sir Michael Hintze appointed by Joe “Cereal-Toyota-Killer” Hockey to oversee the government’s Financial System Inquiry has had to repay the British Gov. $43,000,000.00 in back taxes.

He should get on well wif “Arfa-da-Spiv”!

And perhaps Frances can design the Finance System Logo… I’d start with a design idea of a  Hand-in-a-Pocket.

Cheers Petals,
Shane
