The mirror's cracked and things are askew...


 
It's Time.



G'day Petals,
most of today's pics are from areas around the route of the present southern sections of the  "Tour de France," The Tarn and Aveyron, taken some four years ago.

Border Farce Commissioner, Roaming Quisling is on leave, being investigated for possibly being a very naughty boy.
Not for the fact that Border Farce incorrectly sent 2 Australian citizens to Christmas Island or that they stuffed up the raid on Victoria, or that journalists personal details were leaked or that the "darknet" is selling Medicare details and police ID online... but into his personal behaviour...Dodo Dutton, allegedly Immigration Minister was a Queensland cop too, so... "nuffin-to-see-'ere?"
As one wit noted, "Brothers-in-Harm?"
Shades of Mandy "Il-Patrone" Vanstone's  appalling ministerial history ... malevolent echoes of the wrongful imprisonment of Cornelia Rau and Vivian Solon. Ms Solon, also an Australian citizen, was wrongly deported to the Philippines in 2001 because immigration officials believed she was an illegal immigrant.
She was later compensated to the tune of $4.5 million.
But Mandy "Il Patrone" still gets to regularly proselytise her right wing political banalities on TV, radio and in the press.
 
The Devil, Death and Eve, Moissac.
Without any irony, a Brit  right-wing think-tank, the Policy Exchange, awarded Truffles Turdball their "Disraeli Prize"  for "...maintaining Australia’s non-discriminatory immigration program..."
Hmmm... that's gotta be up there in relevance to the environmental award to Ozone Hole Hunt!
Chairman of the Ruling Rabble's Climate and Energy Committee, Craig, Kok-Up Kelly announced that renewable energy costs will kill old people because they will not be able to afford to heat themselves this winter. "People will die".. he said, and should have added that, "...their deaths will have nothing to do with our cutting  the pensioners energy supplement," which was put in place by Labor to compensate for the carbon tax.
 
Church, Oradour-sur-Glane
In a moment of genuine humour, failed politician and ex prime-miniature, Tony Rabid-the-Hun, Abbott said after his latest fantastical and egotistical outburst to a small band supporters in what looked to be a beer-hall  that: “The last thing I want to do is be difficult.”
Dominatrix, Bloody Idiot Credlin was in furious support of her best client agreeing; and as the Madam of allegedly the best political brothel in Canberra, also provided sorely needed relief to host, Blot-on-the-Landscape, Bolt by describing (accurately for once), the Ruling Rabble as: “little men with soft, soft backbones, no ticker, no heart and no soul”..... and I don't really think she meant their souls!
Irritated by this dissension taking HIS coal powered limelight in denying climate change and that renewables actually work, Fictions Frydenberg plopped in to observe that Rabid's chewing on Truffles is only going to result in Willy Shortstuff coming out the other end first!
Geez... always blaming Labor!
 
Oradour-sur-Glane
On a positive note, Philip Morris in losing its case has been billed the full cost ( $25 -50 Millions) of their appeal against the plain packaging legislation brought in by then health minister in the Gillard Government, Nicola Roxon which, since implementation, has resulted in dramatic falls in smoker uptake particularly amongst the young and teenagers.

St Cecile's, Albi

Another "own goal" costing business "bigly" by Le Jongleur Roskam's IPA who arguing against the public health interest pushed this appeal.  Geez... they're really bright these Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe: with friends like that, who'd need enemies?

Smoke and Mirrors with Pea and Thimble

G'day Possums,
A few months ago in a moment of public candour unusual for one of the ruling rabble, Rabid-the-Hun's dominatrix, Peta Credlin cheerfully admitted that "The Carbon Tax" campaign waged by them was just a ploy to make it a indefensible hip-pocket election issue. It was all smoke and mirrors!
And now ten years later this travesty of a government has business bodies literally screaming out for one to gain some certainty on energy policy and the investment landscape and environmentalists are wringing their hands in frustration at the lack of any or real determined action on dealing with climate change.
d'Orsay, Paris

Not two days later due to extreme weather and the energy regulators incompetence, South Australia endured widespread blackouts as power transmission lines were felled and the regulator, well, didn't. This event caused even more smoke and mirrors as Truffles Turnbull and Fictions Frydenberg attempted to blame alternative energy for the state's problems only for the two of them to be widely seen as more of a hindrance than help, particularly after SA premier to much applause, justifiably tore strips of Fictions at a press conference. So it was a pea and thimble con to the rescue when Truffles announced Snowy Mountain Mc Scheme Mk#2 by ordering a review into a possible $2 billion project to probably start sometime in the future and probably increase the Snowy's electrical output by 50%.
Rouen Reflection

Basking in the warm inner glow of thinking he'd actually done something worthwhile, Truffles this week announced that the ruling rabble's smoke and mirror deception over the Gillard government's Gonski school funding, (remember "Gonski Dumbski" from Chwissie The-Whyning Pyne, and-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect) program was really just another hoax and so has employed the same Gonski to do a Mk#2 review to justify what looks to be a pea and thimble trick by abandoning the most disadvantaged schools in the north of the country, reduce the outrageous overfunding to private schools a little and mildly increase funds to state schools over a ten year period.... yes, ten years of forward estimates when this mongrel lot have increased the debt by 50%. Better dressed than usual but still another shambles of a faux policy from the ruling rabble…pea and thimble, smoke and mirrors, just the normal “Ooh, look at all the money we’re putting back … but not as much as we cut…or in the same place.” And add another distraction from TAFE and tertiary funding cuts where Australia in now amongst the most expensive countrys in the world for tertiary education.
Cluny Museum, Paris

Chaos, thy name is Truffles!
The smoke and mirror sophistry of the "Debt and Deficit Disaster" they promulgated so effectively against the Rudd/ Gillard government has come back to bite them on the bum because, having no coherent policy except IPA thought bubbles and rather more importantly, no financial talent, the ruling rabble have doubled yes, doubled the debt and deficit. This embarrassing lack of riches has had pretend treasurer, Scummo Morrison inform us that there is now something called "good debt and bad debt". In this variation of a pea and thimble trick the confederates to the shyster (who pay no tax) are going to try and make off with $50 billions in tax breaks whilst schools, health and infrastructure go begging!
I reckon Petals, you can see there's a pattern emerging here.

Lurching from his shambles (again, due to injudicious cost cutting) of a national census to the Frankenstein-esque copper NBN (now six months late and counting) which has Australia now dropping in ranking to around 35th in the world for internet speed but near No.1 for retail cost, we had t'other day, the spectacle... well, no the spectacle didn't happen... I'll explain. In the joint commemoration ceremony for the Battle of The Coral Sea, Oz was supposed to drop wreaths from one of its new, you-beaut, Spanish built, Air Warfare Destroyers. Only neither of the two could make it because someone broke them. It seems that not only can we "not-build-a-canoe" but we don't know where to put the correct oil in the asymmetric drives of these vessels.
"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream....."

Barnyard Joyce, deputy prime miniature was on QandA  t' other night. Kee-rist, he's an idiot....thinks Mandy Il Patrone Vanstone is not right wing, the ABC's full of closet communists, then rants one set of specious "facts" after another. And the looks of sheer hate toward fellow panellist Plibersek says much about the crudity of this mongrel's mind. He also maintained that we have "..a moral responsibility..." to have Adani ship coal to India so that the poor can have electricity. But we have none about casting refugees into concentration camps...

 So it's all a left-wing ABC, is it Barnyard?  Try ABC 7.30, 3/5/17: Leigh Hissy-Fit Sale's tart little aside of  when presenting the news that some private schools would have a little of their funding cut was "...something Labor never had the guts to do..." and she eventually followed up with a nauseously obsequious and pointless "interview" with geriatric Sydney shock-jock, John Laws. And let's not mention the right-wing bias of Sabra Spitty Lane who manages to avoid any balance whatsoever on topics and just propagandizes all the ruling rabble cant.That's "Left" is it "Barnyard????
Petals I'm off, to polish some mirrors to see the 100% of the Australian press owned by the Ugly American, Murdoch more clearly.
Hoo-roo,

Bega Beauties

Shane  at Bega
Shane  at Bega
G'day Petals,




Mrs Wombat and I  took a little trip North to the East coast of NSW t' other day.


To say that it is very beautiful country understates its quality and to ignore eating its Oysters, a sin of omission.



Beginning week two of the election campaign saw the TV "Logies" awarded. On winning the "Gold" Logie, Waleed Ali an Egyptian born Muslim and commentator of acute sensibility began his acceptance speech with, "Do not adjust your sets....." and finished with  "....I'm sure you have an app which will return your colour to its normal tone."
Having been subjected to quite severe and nastily stupid criticism with another contender, newsreader Lee Lin Chin for even being promoted as worthy of a "gong," Ali's later comments as to the importance of the award demonstrated with his balanced and thoughtful approach the reason for his success.
Proving just how worthy of the award Ali was a couple of evenings later, Timmy "Twat -ex Freedom Boy- IPA Clone- and presumptive Member for Goldstein" Wilson was asked on "The Drum" for his opinion on the win.  Unable to entangle his small mind from the "Free-Market" rote he spouts automatically, Timmy's mouth pursed into a sphincter-like dot as he gracelessly avoided Waleed Ali's success entirely and clumsily spat out a "...congratulations to all the winners". If ever there was a compare and contrast test of intelligence, wit and capacity for humanity, this was it; and the contemptible and miserably untalented Timmy, failed. Again.

That same night on QandA forms of the ruling rabble in the guise of Kelly "Shaduppa-Yo-Face" O' Dwyer and Innes Willox, CEO of The Australian Industry Group scored "own goals" when audience member Duncan Storrar simply asked why is it the wealthy get tax cuts and people like himself who are really struggling get nothing? The loquacious O'Dwyer gave an interestingly arcane example of how a $6,000.00 toaster to a cafe owner she knew would create more jobs and Willox whose tie would have probably cost more than Storrar's weekly wage, said that as he paid no tax on a low wage what was he complaining about! 
Storrar reminded him that he paid GST on everything he bought and that made his circumstance more parlous than someone on $80,000.00 P.A.
The audience cheered and smelled capitalist blood !
The upshot of all this was that another audience member set up a crowd-funding site to buy Duncan a toaster..... which has since raised $60,000.00 which he has said he will use for his two daughter's education.
Not only a sublime exposition of the tawdry fallacies behind the theory of "Trickle-Down" economics and the arrogance of those who would promote it but it also allowed the gutter tactics of "The Ugly American" Murdoch's propaganda sheets to be reprised by going into overdrive to besmirch Storrar's reputation for having the temerity to question the Ruling Rabble's "Right-to-Rule".

If anyone now doesn't see how our Democracy works, they really are blind, stupidly blind.
Pambula

"The Ugly American" controls around 80% of news services in this country which perhaps explains why the ruling rabble can feel confident that their hubris and lying will not cause them much grief...Dominatrix, Peta "Bloody-Idiot" Credlin now moonlighting as a commentator on commercial TV slapped Prime Miniature "Truffles" Turdball around a bit by calling him "Mr. Harbour-side Mansion" and suggested that his election tactics are poor. She was happily supported in this  by her lap-dog and ex PM, Rabid-the-Hun who found her soliloquy "....absolutely riveting."
It was not known whether Rabid had a mouthful of onion at the time.
Rabid has kicked off his own campaign with a cohort of the remnants of  "Team Australia", (Warringah Chapter) bedecked in uniform "T's" and wildly cheering as their jut-jawed fuehrer strode amongst them instilling steel into them for the final solution... er, push!

Sophie "Pit-Bull" Mirabella is blaming her own side for "leaking" against her... geez, Soph...  why would they bother... you did such a good job of shooting yourself in the foot two or three times last week that do you really think they need to do that?

In conversation with locals throughout the trip, when the subject of politics came up, more often than not a sense of resignation and even frustration was expressed as to where the country is heading. Sometimes there was mild anger, but with all an expectation that issues like manufacturing, foreign ownership, social equity, health, education and jobs be addressed.

Corryong
Corryong
 That the ruling rabble's grip on power is looking decidedly shaky in their first term and with both Victoria and Queensland having tossed out in their first terms, incompetent "Free-Market" conservative administrations, the future for this less than adroit cabal in Canberra looks terminal.
But if they do manage through the agency of "The Ugly American's"  propaganda sheets to maintain power, there is I think, little leeway for them to repeat the mistakes already perpetrated on the nation.
The simmering frustrations might not as they have in the past, be held in check. The mood is different. 

Hoo-roo Possums,

 Will Cardinal Pell-Pot, The Graceless, apologise to those whose terrible plights he ignored?  No... he knows that that  admission means guilt and has admitted as much. His ambition, the corporate structures and his advancement in a medieval business are more important than ethics, morality and personal priestly integrity.

Henry 2nd is rolling in his grave with laughter that he couldn't fix a similar problem in the C12th.

"Pell shared a house with Ridsdale, Pell sat on a committee of priests who made decisions to move Ridsdale from parish to parish, Pell was vicar for education when Ridsdale was a school chaplain, and Pell accompanied Ridsdale to court when he was finally charged. Pell had more reasons than most to turn his mind to what Ridsdale was perpetrating."' Kristina Keneally on Cardinal George Pell's form for blaming everyone but himself.

Pell was also Rabid-the-Hun's spiritual advisor and confessor.

Deis Irae is coming for both!

Another of Abbott's brilliant appointments bites the dust: Michael Lawler, Kathy Jackson's partner has resigned his $400,000.00 p.a. position as workplace relations commissioner after not putting forward a defence of his nine months paid sick leave to support Jackson in the enquiry into trade union corruption where it seems that Jackson herself might be the only one with real "form."

Remember Rabid-the-Hun lauding Jackson as a beacon of quality in the union movement as she stitched up Craig Thompson over his misuse of $25,000.00 of union funds?
Well she's being investigated over allegedly rorting $1,250,000.00!

It has been widely reported that Rabid-the-Hun in another demonstration of "No sniping" has leaked a Defence "White Paper" to embarrass Truffles Turnbull. Apart from the "loose cannon" methodology, the ruling rabble again demonstrates its appallingly juvenile approach to leading a country and a completely arrogant disdain of service to the nation.

The Australian’s foreign editor Greg "Toady" Sheridan, the author of the report from Rupert "The Ugly American" Murdoch's propaganda sheet, and an Abbott loyalist from Rabid's wall thumping student days , said in a fiercely inappropriate defense that ­Abbott was not his source.... or Capt Catlic Andrews... it was a little birdie.... and it is perfectly OK for the Liarbrils to play around leaking secret documents for personal political purposes.

Even Nikki Savva, hardly a cheer-leader for the left has weighed in with a book co-authored with Laurie Oakes: "The Road to Ruin. How Abbott and Credlin destroyed a Government."  Detailing the complete dysfunction of the first two years of this rabble's rule, much is being made of the "intimacy" between the two and its subsequent alienation of minister and backbencher alike.
That "Bloody Idiot Credlin" opined when asked to resign her position that:  "He couldn't do the job without me," only further indicates the level of this alarmingly evil man's incompetence.  

More evidence of a  mongrel ruling rabble's behaviour which is as tawdry to each other as it is to the country should surprise no-one and further, that the rats are turning on each other on the sinking rust-bucket, SS Liarbril is not surprising either.

This is the IPA dream, a  Free Market and Free Enterprise in action....!

Then there was the farce of treasurer Mk2, "The Drone" Morrison working himself up in a lather over Labor's plan to reduce negative gearing on homes by referring to of a BIS Shrapnel study.
Oops... the report was commissioned BEFORE Labor released it's policy; was not specifically aimed at it; and was full of errors! More incompetence from this policy free, ruling rabble!

The Greens have decided to "do-a-Democrat" and support the ruling rabble with changes to the Senate voting system; a move which will effectively eliminate the minor parties and entrench the Liarbrils as having control of the Senate in perpetuity.

As that worked out so well for the Democrats after Meg Lees supported the Liarbrils bringing in the GST, where in a few years they were wiped out as an alternative party, it's difficult to fathom why the Greens are also hell bent on self-immolation. But it does mean we'll have to be more assiduous in how we cast our vote in the Senate this time around.

Hoo-roo petals,
Shane.

Eleventy's Dreaming

Citizen Shane
Citizen Shane




G’day Possums,

Now that the dust in the burrow has settled on “the trip” and even though much less was shot than last time, I'm well into what seems an interminable “post-process” and able to reflect on what are becoming the salient memories of those six weeks.







Jardin de Plantes, Paris
Jardin de Plantes, Paris The Inspiration for Saint Sa'ens', "Carnival of the Animals"
The Cathedrals seen in Britain; Wells, Exeter, Southwark and the local churches all had a liveliness probably because they are used extensively and are not dank, damp spaces. Also the fact that the architecture being a century or so later in most cases and “English Perpendicular” has found its soaring, full formal restraint which is so different from the “Flamboyant” of French Gothic.

Wells Cathedral Chapter House Stairs
Wells Cathedral Chapter House Stairs
At Wells Cathedral I was hard pressed not to attempt to channel the spirit of Frederick Evans when confronted with the stairs going up to the Chapter House and had a twinge of regret that I wasn't lugging around a Field Camera with tilt and shift movements. It was only a twinge, as the gear I had bagged weighed in at 7 Kg and most was often left in the car for discretions sake. I had wrist straps for both cameras and they proved very useful in that the camera was always “at hand” and not flailing around your neck or protruding a lens in front like some priapic tourist in Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita.”

Scotney Castle
Scotney Castle

The gardenswere beautiful: Sissinghurst, Scotney, Trebah and the delightfully warm Lacock Abbey and even the walk to Petworth House but then nearly every French Village is a picture in itself and Versailles (apart from the selfie-hordes) has that expansive dignity and a singular charm in the Petit Trianon.

Versaille
Versaille

Sissinghurst, Petworth, the Wallace collection, now administered by the State were all from immense private wealth, whereas wandering through the castle at Vitre or the ramparts of Dinan you’re conscious of a formidable awareness of Nation and region and even though The Victoria and Albert in London has a large Artwork Neon sign in its foyer telling the masses “This belongs to You” the Opera Garnier in Paris seems more publicly owned.

Petworth
Petworth
Perhaps it was because the British renounced their Commonwealth, returning to a forelock tugging monarchical system whereas the French embraced Republican Liberty, Egalite’ and Fraternity that restaurant food and service is generally so much better in France?

Wombat Droppings

A chronicle of the demise of Egalitarian Oz and its embrace of Fascism.


Rabid-the-Hun, leader of the ruling rabble, this week refused to deny that when he said, “…we are open for business,…” he meant the business of people smuggling.
It has come to light that in the free enterprise spirit some refugee boats have returned to Indonesia after thousands of dollars have been given by Oz Immigration to the captains of those vessels. This is irritating to those Military and Police in Indonesia who are complicit with this trade, as it will force them to lower the prices for the asylum seekers and pay their captains more. A real win-win for people smugglers.. ahhh, the talent of the ruling rabble.

Coming at the same time as Rabid was floating the idea of sending more troops to the hell-holes from where many of these refugees originate and mounting another four pronged assault on the Human Rights Commissioner Gillian Triggs for suggesting that the Indonesians might stop listening to us on other matters if we continue violating their territory, his Treasurer Joe “Eleventy-Toyota-Killer” Hockey had us all “in the aisles” with his profoundly original observation that we will all need a good job if we wish to buy a house.
Eleventy ignored the fact that there are five people for every job at the moment and that self-employed and contract workers are not welcomed by the banks for home mortgages and that $100,000.00 university debts and a privatised health system and lower wages were not really a recipe for community building.

Pryor Cartoon
Pryor Cartoon, The Saturday Paper 13-6-2015

The $390,000.00 a year Free Speech Commissioner and ex Liarbril, ex “Coot-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe” (aka IPA), Timmy “Twat-Freedom-Man” Wilson popped his head up this week, too. At the Sydney Geriatric Institute he apparently opined that the judiciary should not be the ones dealing with human rights as this could be left to his mentor George “Bookshelves” Brandis or even “Dodo” Dutton but only after they’ve finished assaulting his boss, Gillian Triggs. Timmy didn’t see much use for any thing like a Magna Carta either… other than as a tourist attraction for lefty wimps.
It has yet to be ascertained what proportion of his $390,000.00 remuneration this thought- bubble was worth.

Peta "Bloody-Idiot" Credlin

Full of this spirit of Democracy, Rabid-the-Hun’s advisor, Peta ”Bloody-Idiot” Credlin was reported as telling a press photographer to delete the files she had shot of her. Having of late been less visible monstering her ruling rabble colleagues, this was a welcome return to form that we have missed appreciating in person; although if Rabid’s pronouncements on housing prices, wind farms, marriage equality, security and environmental matters are anything to go by, she is still showing equivalent acumen in her advisory role.

“Dodo” Dutton was at his rollicking charming best, too when the bullying Sydney radio noise Ray Hadley played him a song about Green’s Senator Sarah Hansen-Young’s adventures of being spied on by Wilson Security when she visited the refugee concentration camp on Manus Island.  Hadley has to be congratulated in getting a laugh from the dour faced Dodo even if it was, as another of Hansen-Young’s colleagues Larissa Waters said, “Sexist claptrap!”

It is interesting to note that with all the expensive Royal Commissions going on and nothing of import coming from them that in Queensland and Victoria the new governments are uncovering some very interesting messes that were allowed or were fostered by the previous Liarbril regimes in transport, education, sport and law… and I suspect that the vicious attacks on Gillian Triggs or anyone else who contradicts or opposes this ruling rabble will have similar treatment meted out like that of Hansen-Young; after all, look at the way Gillard was treated by these “adults”.
Much as I said there was a stench in Victoria which is now emerging…. this federal rabble are so  “on-the-nose” in so many areas and the corrupt stink is coming from the very top.

Hoo-roo Petals,
Shane.

Being hung out to dry





being hung out to dry
G’Day  Possums,

Mrs Wombat and daughters 1 and 2 went to a concert t’other night at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The Bowl is a nice open air venue where we and many hundreds of others picnicked and thoroughly enjoyed Smetena’s Overture “The Bartered Bride”, Dvorak’s Symphony No.8 and Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D all encored with The Polonaise from Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin” beautifully played by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.








 
It’s been quite a while since I’d been to a live performance and much, much longer since I’d been to one at the Music Bowl and had forgotten the density of the sound produced and its wonderful clarity in this humid Summer’s night setting.









On the way back to the burrow there were fireworks going off over the city. It was either Chinese New Year, a Chinese invasion, the start of the revolution…or perhaps, all three.


And just one more Ballet Pic from Ballet Theatre Australia… their Group shot.

Wombat Droppings
Or the Sad Chronicle of Oz’s slide from Egalitarianism into Fascism.

Rabid-the-Hun, Australia’s Prime Miniature received, unusually, some good news for once. His propaganda pamphlet in Sydney run by “The Ugly American”, Murdoch, informed the Captain that although SS Liarbril was still sinking, it wasn’t going down as fast.

In material that read more like “Push-Polling” than a real survey and which made some odd assertions from the figures given; this news has cheered the Captain who recently had been strongly advised to abandon ship.

It remains to be seen whether “the-storm-in-a-teacup” over his Party’s federal treasurer threatening to jump ship over concerns about fundraising and the malignant cabal of Rabid’s Chief of Staff, “Bloody-Idiot” Credlin and her hubby, federal director,  “Brain” Loughnane will cause the becalmed vessel to ship more water.

Hmmm... sailing too far to the right, to right? 

Larger waves have appeared though.
News that Captain Rabid was wanting to unilaterally invade not only Iraq but Ukraine, too have been followed by the botched character assassination attempt on Gillian Triggs, 

brandis
Human Rights Commissioner by “Bookshelves” Brandis our Blimp of Attorney General. The complete bastardry of this ruling rabble has been on displayfor 8 hours with their disgusting behaviour toward Triggs. Their total lack of humanity, their total lack of morality and the baseness of their characters is now fully exposed. They have elevated the putridness of their treatment of Gillard to a different plane in this star chamber which looks more like a Stalinist Show trial than an enquiry. These Liarbril are the scum of the earth and are not fit to hold the positions they do.  Then there are revelations that job agencies are rorting taxpayers money; something which the ruling rabble knew but chose to do nothing about.  Another example of the nation being sold down the drain... but let's not forget how Mrs Rudd made her Millions.
And that “Horse-shite” Cormann ignored advice that the National Australia Bank was as incompetent and as bad as Commonwealth Bank in its mis-handling of superannuants funds and did what Liarbrils do best…nothing 
These waves just might be enough to swamp such a dodgy vessel and send it to the bottom particularly if the AFP investigation into Triggs' attempted forced resignation is found to be a criminal "inducement" of a statutory officer.

Attempting to inspire his tattered forces with a call to the Flag of National Security, Rabid-the-Hun, in a mini Nuremburg Rally setting, insulted all the Muslims in Australia to keep the Bogans happy.

flags
picture courtesy Peter Grace.

In an abundance of sometimes rhyming rhetoric containing little substance, Rabid said we’d been too nice for too long and that dual citizens must split their personalities and become “one-of-us”.
Sadly he missed the opportunity to settle the rumours concerning his own dual citizenship.

This occurred just after he’s insulted the Swedes’ capacity to build submarines.

STOP PRESS: Chinese announce collapse of Aussie Flag production due to peak demand by Rabid-the-Hun. Looms caught fire and cheap nylon melted as overload on computerised spinning machines halted production. Chinese Government has announced a reverse 457 deal where 800,000 unemployed Australians will be granted visa's to finish production quota before 2016 election.
Pay rates & conditions will be assured at normal Chinese ones.
Those not accepting this generous offer will be re-educated on Manus Island once the asylum seeker "Illegals" have been sold to Cambodia.

And if Rabid’s Rabble think it’s safe to go back in the water, there’s always the details of the Pacific trade deals, their attempted dismembering of Medibank and the possible tsunami of response to $100,000.00 uni fees…there’s some rough weather ahead.

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane.
