A Time for Reckoning....

Shane Wombat....Vanitas

G'day Possums,

I've been a trifle busy recently and very late with this posting which, in a way is not such a bad thing as it has seen much of the shrapnel from the explosive Tardis-State election result to fall back to earth as well as the smoke and fog of its politicking dissipate enough so that can see more clearly how the landscape has altered and who's left standing.

Not too many of the Ruling Rabble, Petals.

Matty, Thug Guy vacated the leadership and as an indication of how the talent in this cabal is very thin on the ground was replaced by O'Brien, the Vapid. Their primary anointed and Le Jongleur, Roskam's nemesis, Pesutto had had his safe seat kicked out from under him  and Finn, the Pious Lieutenant,  then did a "Henderson" moronically announcing that If the Labor Party and the Greens want to have more women in the Liberal Party, what "... they should have done, is not defeated them," and that, "...it would have been a very good thing if they hadn't run against our women."  

And they still wonder why they lost?

Greendale Landscape in Fog

Even veteran right-wing spruiker, Morticia Savva was dully quiet on "Insiders," but in trying to explain why the Ruling Rabble really loved women, she seems to have forgotten that the only women Liberals ever spoke for wore twin sets, pearls, hounds-tooth pleated skirts, sensible shoes and blue gingham blouses, with a nice little blue scarf, a pink pullover draped over the shoulders and their "sunnies" propped up on their blonde coifs.

Greendale Landscape in Fog

Definite smells of panic are emanating from Canberra as real funk sets in and this Ugly American Murdoch's IPA construct, this ruling rabble, this petty-minded, nihilistic right wing cabal of the most untalented dullards ever to soil parliamentary benches are now achieving the dysfunction of which they had falsely accused Labor since 2011. Their adherence to "Tea-Party" Republican political terror tactics has backfired stupendously well as they had neither the imagination nor wit to carry it off successfully. And for all those jumping ship like the "I-could-live-on-$40.00-a-day" Banks gel or the rorting Asbestos Bishop: they are all still tarred with the same damned brush of being the most incompetent, corrupt and damaging neer-do-wells ever to have office in Australia. Good riddance. It will take a generation to remedy the destruction they have wrought.

Greendale Landscape in Fog

Scummo hastily announces that a "Federal Integrity Commission" is no longer a "fringe issue," but one that doesn't investigate pollies and their staff, which promptly, is howled down by all and sundry. Then Trump-like, says confusingly that the Oz embassy is to have its plaque in Jerusalem but office in Tel Aviv and to show what good guys we really are, we'll return a little of the funding ripped from health and education in the past years and hit the energy market "with-a-big-stick" (made of Balsa wood) to stop their profiteering.... a policy directly at odds with Ruling Rabble capitalism in being willing to ditch their IPA version of "free-market", free enterprise greed, in order to stay alive politically.

Greendale Landscape in Fog

Fiction's Frydenberg shows he is willing to rip up pristine wetlands for 30 Schekels of donor money... whilst Mummy's-Boy, Canavan praises Adani's "...we'll go it alone" announcement of its Galilee Basin coal mine, as "True Aussie Battlers..."

....what he really meant to say is that he's Adani's Little Aussie Butler!

Then a couple of F-35's arrived... at $25,000.00 per hour to fly and a range of only 1500 Km... we seem to have bought very, very expensive home defence fighters.

Who is going to pay for this corruption, this incompetency and damage?  Who will be brought to book? 

Do we start with The Ugly American or his lieutenants like Roskam ?

I wondered the other day how such a destructive Brit turd like Farage would have fared in the C16th. I doubt his damage to "The Crown" and its peoples because of his Brexit push would allow him to sail off unscathed into the sunset... I rather think that Hang, Drawing and Quartering might have been the order of the day.

There has to be a reckoning.... a severe one.

Hoo-roo, Petals

Hanging Out to Dry

Being hung out to Dry

G’day Possums,

The centenary of the 1918 Armistice has passed in appropriate solemnity with French President Macron reminding world visitors and particularly the Septic-Tank Pussy-Grabber, Frump that rampant nationalism requires an absence of morals. 

The sort of nationalism backlash-spawned by the end of a war begun for economic and trade dominance, one requiring authoritarian colonialism and abject racism.

Unfortunately this became abundantly clear here in Melbourne when a loose-minded man deliberately crashed a car loaded with gas bottles, set it alight and proceeded to stab at those who came to his assistance or were just bystanders until cornered and eventually shot by police.

With two seriously wounded and one killed, Ruling Rabble state representative in election mode Matty, Thug Guy (who enjoys Lobster with mobsters) and visiting prime miniature du jour, Scummo (in survival mode) both, we hope secretly, “praised the lord” for such a gifted opportunity and repeatedly declared ”..see, see... black gangs, black gangs ...it’s Muslim terrorism. Terrorism I tell you....." fear and loathing, fear and loathing..."it’s all out of control.. we need more punitive measures, bring back the lash"… deport them all.. "it's nothing to do with that tosh called mental health” etc, etc!

Ballan Memorial 1918 Armistice

Sisto Malaspina, the man killed was a well known and liked co-owner of Melbourne’s Pellegrini’s pasta and coffee bistro: an icon of Melbourne living that has been in Bourke St since the 60’s and would have likely been on the blunt end of overt Oz racism as a migrant here, and would probably have demurred from such attentions as Thug and Scummo were delivering, particularly their spectacularly bad taste visit a day later to offer condolences whilst politicising his murder.

What rankled me Petals, was that Scummo in his usual insensitive “in-your-face” advertorial ranting style was praising a man he’d never met, let alone savoured Pellegrini’s food and coffee as I had on countless occasions... and way back, when you could eat in the kitchen at the public trestle tables.

Scummo’s genuine alright, authentic, too.. A genuine, authentic fake!

Warbuton Landscape

Scoring more “own goals”, Scummo unbelievably announced that commercial TV stations could now beam their tawdry home-grown content into New Guinea and other parts of Asia to “spread Australian soft diplomacy” to counter millions of Chinese Renimbi in the South Pacific.

Only five years ago The Ugly American, Murdoch complained that Radio Australia was broadcasting into Asia and that there had been no competitive tender. Tenders were called and the ABC won… but the contract was given by Rabid-the-Hun’s Ruling Rabble to the The Ugly American. Who subsequently ran the service down till after three years it is no more and soft diplomacy is all on the Chinese side!

Warbuton Landscape

Is it co-incidental that The Ugly American was in the process of divorcing Wendy Deng at the time and the Frumps were being warned against associating with her as a possible Chinese spy?

Scummo’s foreign affairs skills being commensurate with his empathy with refugees has Indonesia not “laughing up their sleeves” at us any more ... it's easier on the haberdashery to do it in plain sight. 

Even the dictator on Fiji is having a go, telling SBS journo’s to bugger off!

“But we are an independent nation...” melodramatically thunders Scummo as even the barnacles are leaving the wreck of the sunken SS Ruling Rabble.

Then there was the truncated Truffles fielding what must have been heavily vetted questions on QandA! 

None on why he made such a mess of the NBN, nearly destroyed the ABC, mangled Medicare, prostituted penalty rates / workers rights, decapitated defence manufacturing, eviscerated education, parched the Murray / Darling and promoted climate change deniers?

All they had to ask in different forms, as if he was wanted back, was, “Why are you no longer PM?”

Pathetic.

Have these Ruling Rabble incompetents wrought anything other than destruction to this country?

Warbuton Landscape

The French military casualties in WW1 were 1,385,300 soldiers. We lost, perhaps 70,000.

Why then do we spend five times more on memorials than the French?

Is it because we are so culturally and creatively bereft that glorifying militarism is all that the white-right-wing have to promote as a national identity is harking back to Federation's “White Australia Policy”?

Hoo-roo, Petals,

Shane.

The Black Hole of the Ruling Rabble

G'day Possums,

As an entity from which no light escapes, calling the current Ruling Rabble (also erroneously labelled the Liberal / National Party Government) a Black Hole is a more suitable description of the most corrupt, incompetent and farcically venal accretion to ever soil the parliamentary benches in this country's history.

Having been sold-a-pup by Scummo Morrison and Rabid-the-Hun, Dodo Potato-Head Dutton engineers a coup to be played out against prime miniature Truffles with Quisling broadcasters in Sydney, Toilet-Boy Jones and Gutter-Mouthed Hadley in concert with Blot-on-the-Landscape Bolt in Melbourne providing a rancid chorus only to see deviousness win the day and Scummo grasping the tattered prize.

Along the way to this "new generation",  ruling rabble women are cajoled, intimidated and browbeaten to vote for Dodo-Potato-Head leaving one, $40.00 -a-day, Banks to spit the dummy and not re-contest a seat she would have probably lost any way, another, African-Gang-of-One Lucy Gichuhi threatening to name names, probably as an inducement to be upgraded in the senate ticket and the miffed Asbesto Bishop playing Will-I-Wont-I as to her vapid future in international shopping.

Sensitively defending the boy's club atmosphere of the ruling rabble, Crackers Kelly told the women that, "....they needed to learn to roll with the punches..." and Toilet-Boy Jones opined nationally that they imbibe "... a teaspoon of cement and toughen up!"  Hypocritically, Slit-her-(Gillard's)Throat Ciobo told us that "...there was no room in the ruling rabble for bullying!"

Then adding to the ruling rabble's deserved woes someone started leaking info as to Dodo-Potato-Head's mates-rates for Au Pair's  visas on humanitarian grounds while denying that same humanity to refugee children self-harming in the concentration camps of Nauru and Manus Island.  Dodo-Potato Head  returned fire claiming that Labor's Tony Burke had requested a visa for an Islamic preacher who, much like the now ascendant "right" of the ruling rabble, thinks homosexuals should be exterminated, only to have Burke say that this information was withheld from him by Dodo-Potato-Head. Now, given that Dodo-Potato-Head  is an ex-Deep North Copper I suspect he'd know a fair bit about writing witness statements and confessions a-priori.

Truffles meanwhile has left the building, resigned and tripped off to NY leaving his seat of Wentworth to its own devices in coping with its bye-election and taking a huge swag of his popular vote with him. So much so that polls are having Labor 50-50 with the ruling rabble and historically within reach of taking a seat they have never ever won. Truffle's son has said that Truffles ".. fought the stupid but stupid won", and has gone into bat for Labor saying they would be a much better investment than the ruling rabble. When asked to appear on The Ugly American Murdoch's Fox in Oz, Sky News he responded that "... he would rather spend time with his children than with old white men off their meds!"

Down in The Tardis State, Premier Dan-The-Man, Andrews like the ruling rabble's state cabal, has thrown convention to the winds and released thousands of documents relating to Matty Thug Guy's expensive frolic in Ventnor early in his reign as un-planning minister. Seems that Matty, who had a reputation for ignoring advice, did so regarding this matter, and cost the taxpayer nearly $3,000,000.00 instead of $250,000.00 as advised by 3 senior council in order to save his own skin and job. I've mentioned this many times before in posts and it is good to see evidence of just how tawdry and nasty this little Thug, Guy is: apart from Lobster lunches with alleged Mafia types and other dubious land re-zoning deals as well!

Ahh, Petals, The Ruling Rabble now being federally "managed" by a Happy-Clapper adherent to "prosperity xtianity" a philosophy which I doubt  even Jesus would recognize, a ruling rabble being infiltrated by oddball types of Joseph Smith loopiness, a ruling rabble still being misguided by the idiocy of the IPA's selfish anti social agendas, a ruling rabble completely out of touch with the realities of not just the country but the world...... what else can you call where we are at but a black hole?

Hoo-roo Petals

Shane.

All Aboard...

Shane Railing

G'day Petals,

short snippets from the Tardis State (Vic) where all used to go backwards but pundits, (mostly The Ugly American, Murdoch's shills), are postulating that we may soon return to a monotonous ennui which only the Ruling Rabble can manifest.

Matty, Thug Guy, opposition Don for the Ruling Rabble, fresh from having Lobster lunches with what police allege are Mafia figures and costing the state millions in compensation for his land sales frolics has launched his cabal's election campaign with a two pronged assault on Labor. The first is a lowest common denominator, racist dog-whistle campaign against Africans, promoting fear, xenophobia and hate: negative qualities the Ruling Rabble has in spades as they seem to find positive and progressive thinking far too subtle and arduous.

Under cover of "Laura Norder" these right-wing Free-Speech-For-All hypocrites, when pushed to explain their policy in detail constantly fall back on slogans to define their parody of democracy and really might be better employed by first putting their own house in order as another NSW Ruling Rabble MP has just resigned after revelations in an ICAC inquiry involving a multi-million dollar property deal with Chinese developers.... and then there's this....

The second prong in their attack is public transport: they are going to build an extension to the Cranbourne line. Well, isn't that just fine?

 Considering it was their pin-up boy, Boof-head Kennett who closed it down 28 years ago as unviable, that  piece of history  sort of took the gloss off competing with premier Dan Andrew's achievements in the transport sphere.

Andrews has also announced that education was to be a priority if he's re-elected, recently noting that 128 schools need to be built  to cover population growth. It really was a pity that Boof-head when premier, 28 years ago closed 128 schools in his ideological jihad against teachers and state education.

One thing you can be certain of Possums, is that whenever the Ruling Rabble are elected, future proofing the state comes a very poor second to paying their dues to their supporters and consequently services to the public are degraded to a point where it takes years to redress the balance.

In the federal circus, Barnyard Joyce has been has been found not in breach of his travel entitlements because he was "on-the-job" at the time. But we all knew that anyway.

Serial fashionista and part-time foreign minister Asbestos Bishop, raised eyebrows when virtually implying that her Ruling Rabble was to be credited with organizing the team saving the Thai boys trapped in a watery cave. It is understood that in her flick of the head to moue at the TV cameras, her 15 cm  gorgeous designer drop earring smacked her jaw and she was temporarily stunned which explains another of her cringe-worthy moments.

The AFP vehicle seen outside The Harpy, Cash's office is understood not to be there to finalise their nine month investigation into her leaking media department but to seek advice as whether to have celebrity chef  Calamari Calombaris  pay his staff appropriately. This was fruitless as it seems that the address is, in effect, a retail outlet for white-boards and The Harpy who has shown no interest in wage justice, except for herself could not be found.

Mummy's Boy and foreign citizen from the Deep North, Bruiser Canavan fronted "Insiders" today to spruik his coal qualifications and his concept of The National Energy Agreement  which Truffles and Fiction's are trying to cobble together ...I had an image of him that his brain looked like a little kid running around a very big but almost empty toy store grabbing at whatever took his fancy and mumbling something about it then putting it down anywhere and picking up something else and mumbling on.... goodness it's obvious he knows the jig is up... all he spouts is drivel!

Just like Bookshelves Brandis appointing 72 of his Ruling Rabble cronies and mates to administrative positions just before the last election, Scummo Morrison has seen fit to fiat a Ruling Rabble staffer as Secretary to the Treasury and another staffer to a top position in the Productivity Commission. Contemplating the near disastrous fiscal situation this incompetent Rabble have managed to produce in the past five years and the blatant political stacking of key advisory bodies, if  Labor wins the next election, one might expect that the Night of The Long Knives could well look like the Teddy Bear's Picnic.

Hooroo Petals,

Shane.

How low can they go?

G'day Possums,

 today some pics from the RAAF Museum at Point Cook where we, Mrs Wombat, daughters and son-in-law repaired to after a scheduled gift flight in a Tiger Moth was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Golly, the Ruling Rabble are not only just office boys to the IPA. Now, with Tardis State opposition leader Matty What's-a-Green-wedge Guy, they are also foot soldiers for the Mafia mob.

Tiger Moth Point Cook

Having supped the cray and sipped the Grange with what Vicpol term "a senior mafia figure" who's been banned from racecourses and the casino, Matty has spent three days refining his account of not really knowing or wanting to take election funds in discreet amounts to dodge electoral law from the Dodgy Bros and after sacking his too locquacious staffer organizing the deal has referred himself to IBAC for absolution. Given that this body, due to when the ruling rabble were messing the state up, had over-watered the plant turning it into a toothless tiger, the ploy is just a cynical bit of window dressing attempting to avoid the obvious. 

Matty, like your party, you're bent: and if you think you can continue to run a Laura Norder election you will look more like a character from Komedy Kapers than a seriously valid candidate for premier.

Avro 504, Point Cook

Interestingly, the mobster with the lobster is the same Maddaferi who was allowed into the country by the then immigration minister Mandy, Il Patrone Vanstone back in 2005 on "humanitarian" grounds. Noted, not only for his alleged involvement in murders, drug running and stand-over tactics he apparently was also a generous donor to a ruling rabble slush fund called "The Millenium Foundation."

Now, if you're taking money from the Dodgy Bros what are you giving in return?

How low can the ruling rabble go?

Supermarine Walrus

Pretty low actually ..... federally, they have instigated a non binding, voluntary postal survey that is going to cost $122,000,000.00 ( where's a budget emergency when you need it?) so that those not the least bit interested in marriage equality will have a say in who can and can't, rather than the parliament doing what it's paid to do and voting on it, because the ruling rabble are hopelessly enmeshed in internecine factional warfare.

As the rules pertaining to elections will not apply, open slather has been accorded to the haters, trolls, homophobes and other narrow minded fundamentalists to spew forth without fear of litigation.

First cab off the rank rank was the alleged xtian, Lyle, Sleaze-Mind Shelton who was fairly drooling over the opportunity to vent his putrid medieval religiosity on a national stage. He was backed up by failed priest, and failed Prime Minister Tony, Rabid-the-Hun Abbott who was overjoyed at being able to conflate freedom of expression, political correctness, safe schools, and marriage equality into his negative and venomous three word slogans of bilious hate. He was following by Bronny Kero/Chopper Bishop (she who should be but is not, dead yet) alerting us to the real dangers being faced by cats, dogs, horses, sheep and possibly Kangaroos, and hades forbid, Wombats if the vote is "Yes" .

This shonky postal vote is just another weapon in the arsenal of dissension fostered by the right-wing to obscure their real agenda: capitalist domination.

 

FB2 

Adding to this little distraction are a swag of other improbity:  the rampant corruption surrounding the National's leader Barnyard Joyce's Murray-Darling water theft, the stinking mess of dishonest EPA officials and their response to re-cycling practices, ministers being paid monies by firms they are going to work for when they leave parliament, before they leave parliament, corruption from the top in our nascent SS, the Border Farce, the failure of some parliamentarians to rescind dual citizenship and then ignoring convention and not stepping down, more blood on ruling rabble hands from the concentration camp on Manus Island, banks aiding and abetting the illegal transactions of criminals and terrorist groups and the ongoing rorting of parliamentary entitlements... all of which strongly indicates that this nation is falling apart under this ruling rabble and Truffles then has the temerity to tell us he's a strong leader!

Perhaps he was referring to his odour?

Hoo-roo Petals

...and a horse on a skate board with a pupil makes as much sense, too.

Breaking Through...

Shane Breaking Through

G'day Possums,

 Well, at the beginning of Week 5 after a truce of sorts in week 4 the breakthrough has happened: though only slightly, the ruling rabble have fallen behind in the polls and their pretend leader "Truffles," popularity is also trending down.

So much so that he has put out a cloying little piece of hagiography extolling the humility and tribulations from his early life to where he made his Cayman account fortune.

I wouldn't doubt that this will only provide further material for the satirists, as the privilege of having $300,000,000.00 and believing only in "The-Free-Market" sort of precludes any real contact with the world of the other 92%. But that remains to be seen.
#‎LNPliar‬ ‪#‎auspol‬ ‪#‎ausvote‬... it's started within an hour of release...

He also showed what a democratic fellow he was by not only turning up to a celebratory fundraiser for far-right Adelaide fruit-loop, Cory "Bestiality" but also visiting the Once-Tardis State of Victoria, to fan the flames of dissent among some volunteer "fireys" having a "spontaneous" demo about all things UNION!

 

Pelicans Demonstrating, not flying

A hundred or so CFA volunteers and their professionally "hand-made" signs all extolling the same theme: Union, "BAD," "Free Labour "GOOD  went rallying against..... what? "We're afraid we'll be taken over by the union!" 

How?

Well, no-one has yet been able to explain that.

All 1100 brigades? Or is it just a relatively minor dispute about the running of the 35 mixed outer suburban stations and a rather interesting set of ambit claims?   

The Liarbrils had been stalling on dealing with this (and at the cost to the household fire levy of $21,000,000.00,  2011-14) as they did with the Ambo's and have now conveniently whipped it up as a distraction for their barrenness of policy at both State and Federal level and the fact that their polling is sliding?

 

All-a-Twitter

Matty, "What's-a-Green-Wedge" Guy' with smarmy IPA smiles behind Truffles at the circus said it all.... whose "surprise" visit,  playing the defender of the working class was just too-too Herald-Sun, "Ugly American" Murdoch press to be believed!

Pity that the poor applause and many folded arms for Truffles was a trifle telling.

Who wrote this farce, Blot-on-the-Landscape, Bolt?

CFA volunteers should be careful they're not being misled into another "Truffles Turdball,"  Godwin Grech moment of farce.

 

Merimbula

Helping the cause of confusion and lack of clarity in this matter was "Un-Environment Minister",  Hunt who opined on radio that if the CFA is "forced-into-a-deal" by the unions and Labor won office, electricity prices will go up and it will be the end of civilization as we know it ,  although even though he didn't seem to know any detail about this EBA, "they're doing a deal, they're doing a deal!" was his strident message.

 

Froth and Bubble

He was less concerned at the news of Chinese being brought in on 457 Visas to take Australian jobs as this was probably part of the Liarbril's Jobs'ngrowth scheme as an adjunct to the Free Trade Deal with China and he couldn't provide answers to the questions put as that only distracted him from being "On-message, on-the-same-page and singing- from-the-same-song-sheet" and his normal irrelevant self.

 

Dodgy Deals

Pambula

Things is Hottin'-Up now.... the fireworks are about to be set off... I think the stink of funk arises from the conservatives....and Psst... we have a new local candidate. A possibly delusional one; well, he's called himself the "Bolt -of-the-West" an ex councillor and scribe for local rag, is running as a "National." I assume it's only to provide preference votes for the Liarbril candidate against Labor's Shadow Health Minister, Catherine King.... more later...

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane.

seeing the Prospect before us

G’day Possums,

Shane on September

Some rehearsal shots …performance stuff will be up soon.

Emma, jump

We’ve produced another video and seeing it on the “Big-Screen” for the first time was quite an experience.

Da BIG screen

The lens quality of it was very good and segments which deliberately had no sound, generally, worked. What took me by surprise was a quality, something akin to scale in sculpture that became apparent in one or two sections.

Ally and Jack

Making a sculpture you are always aware of the pieces’ intended destination; the light, reflections and any other factors that affect the way a work is visually altered by its environment and therefore altered aesthetically.

Laura, jete

In film it would seem to be rhythm that best equates with sculptural “scale”.

Olivia and Gus

When the rhythm is “out” it’s almost as if the mind drifts away from the narrative by presenting another thought (or no thought at all) until the original rhythm is picked up and you are returned to the journey.  Like scale, rhythm is inherent in the structure from initial concept through to final title and any deviation or hic-cough in the flow disturbs the viewing experience, which is quite literally magnified on the big screen.

Timing, composition and relationship to previous and following scenes all seem to be part of this rhythm mix and a somewhat instinctive faculty in balancing these elements, important.

A complex business but enjoyable to tackle…. Video may be seen at…..

Wombat Droppings

Prefect Pyne the Whyne

Christopher “The Whyne” Pyne got caught out lying to camera again…ABC had a lovely time, I think, refuting his bullshit.

Shades of, “I-didn’t-meet–for-an assignation with Ashby.”

“Rabbott” has promised that the Liarbrils will definitely “STOP-THE-BOATS” in their fist term….yeah, right… and bangs on about not being a divisive government…which although untrue, sounded fine until you started reading a Mal Brough (oops, there’s that Ashby coot again) fundraising menu on FB and realised that the new definition of BOGAN is “Member of Liberal Party”!

Rabbott

Joe “What-a-Feeling” Hockey feigns a four-year-olds’ pout and whinges, “BUT SHE CALLED ME FAT, mummy!”  Or in other words.. Oohhh, look over there …a rabbit!

Steve (Smack-em-down) Ciobo, Liarbril, Q’land opines that people are lining up to “slit Gillard’s throat”…. Hmmmmm such delicate language skills that as Tim (Queer-Coot from IPA) Wilson says “…..is just the hurley-burley of politics”. Really Tim?… Not offensive ? Not inciting others to similar comment?

Alan “Bondi” Jones is still doing his malevolent and execrably putrid best on radio, this time over “Menu-Gate”, blaming the victim for playing the gender card …sort of like blaming the Titanic passengers for drowning themselves.

One of his shock-jock ilk  (Sattler, Perth) was suspended ( late news ...his radio station sacked him) for his offensive comments to the PM’s face on radio but you have to wonder when the Liarbrils and their conservative media will reap the whirlwind of this legitimisation of hate they have been so adept at cultivating and sowing.

‘Tis a pity that their policy development doesn’t receive the same attention but then, any distraction will serve their purpose in hiding the truth of their plans.

Here in the State of Tardis (where-All-Goes-Backward), Failed ex-Premier Jeff “Bully-Boy” Kennett (The Dorian Gray of Tardis State politics) uninvited, put his hand up to be the saviour of the under-performing Melbourne F.C.

One M.F.C. supporter said succinctly, “I’d rather we kept losing”.

A sentiment more widely appreciated than “Bully-Boys’” exploration into cognitive dissonance. But then, this syndrome seems endemic in the conservative side of politics.

$70,000,000 is being spent on incarceration modules on railway stations and more prisons; this being announced at the same time as pretend premier Dodo (Inutilus Rusticus) Napthine doesn’t announce cutting $2,500,000 and effectively closing down successful programs for marginalised youth.

Well, at least there’s accommodation for them and a bonus for the privatised prisons if they don’t re-offend within a certain time. A scheme, by-the-way, poo--pooed by the sentencing and parole authorities as open to rorting.

Perhaps a scheme thought up by ex-Liarbril Member for Frankston, Geoff (“Fiddles”) Shaw?  Who is still under police investigation…. allegedly.

The new $3,000,000,000 freeway to nowhere that solves nothing is going to be a win-win for the developers. The taxpayer is to pick up the tab if road usage isn’t as predicted!

Dontcha just love the economic competence and forward thinking of the Tardis State Liarbrils?

Build a 30 km rail link to the airport? Nah, too hard.

Matty (“What’s-a-Backhander”) Guy, State of Tardis (where-All-Goes-Backward) mis-planning minister t’other day praised “Bully-Boy” Kennett as being the saviour of the Art Deco, Regent Theatre.

My research indicated that it was the late Rupert Hamer, Premier at the time and not btw a friend of Kennett. And let’s not forget the bans by the Builder’s Labourers Federation for three years, stopping Lord Mayor Ron “Casino” Walker (friend of “Bully-Boy”) from demolishing the place.

Matty was at the time a staffer for “Bully-Boy” so, in best IPA fashion, is probably re-inventing history to praise his mentor.

State of Tardis (Where-All-Goes-Backward) Liarbrils have just celebrated 100 days since deposing Big Bird Baillieu ( Silveretail Incompetens). There has been a lot more noise but the policy has remained unimaginatively retrograde.

Cheers Petals,

Shane
