Pell-Pot... Beckett, you are not!

G'day Possums,

well, it seems that one of the last edifices of Australian civil society, the Catholic Church has been shown to be rotten from the top down, too. Joining the finance and banking sectors, treatment of the elderly in nursing homes,  endemic violence against women, the appalling conditions for incarcerated indigenous youth, the anti-environmental stupidities in the Murray-Darling. 

The Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse has claimed Cardinal George Pell, who has been convicted on 5 counts over two boys, as a paedophile and is awaiting sentencing.

"It's a sad story and it wasn't of much interest to me" said Pell-Pot (*2) when asked how much he knew of his priests paedophile activities, betraying his dismissive clerical arrogance and also, as parents of his victims have told "....his sociopathic lack of empathy" as he didn't seem fazed by the fact that 7% of his clergy were serial perpetrators.

 Le Thoronet

Shades of... “You do not, have the power to command bishops.”* railed Beckett to Henry 2 in 1162 as the king attempted to pull the clergy into judicial line on similar matters.

The enraged howls emanating from The Ugly American Murdoch's shills over his Pell's conviction had ex prime miniature, Little Johnny Howard in the lead, and Miranda The Mad, Devine followed by Blot-on-the-Landscape, Bolt both frothing at the mouth over this alleged miscarriage of justice..."...he's a good bloke", "...a witty conversationalist".. "...he couldn't have done it" claimed all three, not in possession of the facts of the case, but seeing perhaps truly for the first time, in this "...disgraceful decision.." (by 12 jurors) that one of their apparently unassailable conservative, nay, fascist pillars, had suddenly fallen, disgraced and more importantly, was forever impotent.

Silvacane

Did it occur to them that their political commentary and lying might now come under closer scrutiny and that Little Johnny who was so keen to kill Iraqi's on a hunch about WMD's and send troops into indigenous camps on falsified information, be racist to the very refugees whose plight he had helped cause were now exposed and didn't have the moral cover they once assumed through association?That they were justly being clearly seen as craven paedophile apologists and protectors?

Le Thoronet

Fractured is the glass of benign paternalism and the isolation of "truth" troublemakers that had worked for centuries as had, "You do not have the power to command bishops"... as when Bernard of Clairvaux did a family take-over of the Cistercian monasteries set up by a rather gentle Englishman, Stephen Harding (which was probably the last time the French saw anything gentle in the English), which became in the so-called, "Middle -Ages" a prototype multi-national organization, calls up the Crusades, castigates Richard the Lionheart's mum, Eleanor for being a little fiesty (and too fun loving) and then he helped set up the Templars who were a multi-national business (before Phillip IV tried a terminal take-over of his own a few years down the track)...and shooed the peasants off their land and out of their villages in the godly pursuit of larger profits and more land for their "Lay-brothers" (serfs) to work whilst they discussed how many angels could dance on the head of a pin!

The Forge, Fontenay

"Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest" said Denis Diderot, who is one man who would have heartily applauded Julia Gillard's setting up of this RC into child sex abuse. Who, as Prime Minister was so consistently and foully abused by those now singing the praises of a convicted paedophile cleric and who hypocritically think the law is what they say it is but doesn't apply to them.

End times? What a mess has been made of this country.

Hoo-roo petals,

Shane burning Trash

G'day Petals,

Well, aren't the chickens coming home to roost for the Ruling Rabble's morally bankrupt country cousins?

First, we were entertained (?) at the very end of 2018 by the would-be "Sugar Daddy",  Andy of the Broad church using taxpayer funds to entertain himself with a younger woman in Honkers and seemingly forgetting to pay the "entertainer", then we had unconfirmed news that Barnyard Joyce was apparently trying to re-populate the outback all by himself whilst fronting a live export meeting with his ex staffer and new son to the tune of $6000.00 of taxpayer's money. Hot on Barnyard's heels came the rumour that he who should remain un-named because he has little to be proud of of, has ignored ones of Truffle's final diktats that staff were not for bedding nor wives for insulting and is allegedly "having it off" with one of his staff. 
And it goes without saying that all three were against SSM,  extolling family virtues and "traditional  marraige"....what hypocrites!

Unintended satire for the Sydney-sider

And now to top it all off, ex Noe Notion ring-in (19 votes) and ex Katter's Kapers loudmouth, Farter  the Fascist, Anning has had the gall to bill the taxpayer $2800 for his flight back from attending a neo-Nazi farce at St. Kilda with 100 other feeble minded thugs and racists. 

Hoping to gain more than the 19 votes a few deluded Deep North peasants awarded him at the last election as a Noe Notion candidate, Farter the Fascist  seems happy to employ any tactic to have his name in front of the public no matter what the context.

A very muted response from Scummo, Prime Miniature du Jour who twisted "multi-cultural" to "migrant" in his pathetic statement and followed with abysmally little comment from any other pollie of conservative bent should give warning that the ground work is being laid for an out and out racist, fear-mongering campaign in the forthcoming election. Hate speech is becoming with this Rabble, acceptable...or as their IPA managers would term it, "Freedom of Speech."  

Their recently appointed political lackey of a Race Discrimination Commissioner, Chin Tan says there's no place in Australia for the "apparent racist" rally organised by the tawdrey members of the far right. There was nothing "apparent " about it!

 All the symbolism of Nazism was fully employed and according to some of the Antifastas, condoned by many of the police there.

Little Johnny the War-Mongering hypocrite won the "Tampa" election on the back of a xenophobic racist refugee scare campaign and it lseems that neo-nazi slogans have become acceptable to this increasingly hard right-wing Ruling Rabble.

All bling.

Fear, dissension and the sowing of confusion is grist to the mill of these incompetent representatives. 

Unable to govern for lack of policy but able to rort the system for their own benefit and with little notice taken of their thieving by the MSM, Australia is reaching a very dark place particularly when the only large and balanced media, The ABC under constant attack and becoming increasingly muted in its coverage of events as a result of politically motivated funding cuts, constant carping criticism for not being right-wing enough to suit this Ruling Rabble and its acolytes and inundated with The Ugly American, Murdoch's mouthpieces.

Cheek by Jowl in Docklands

The culture of this place has changed  and I believe not for the better.

Hoo-roo, Possums,

Shane.

Shane Wombat goes off To Blood, Sand, Berks

Shane in Naqib

 with Rabid-the-Hun’s malign IPA rabble to drop humanitarian bombs creating a real budget crisis.

But more of that later in “Wombat Droppings.”

Here, because it’s been  “World Ballet Day” or something… some more from the last session in class at Ballet Theatre Australia…

Ballet Theatre of Australia, Class

 … and something for spring; some Jonquils from the Wombat’s garden.

Jonquils

Wombat Droppings

or

A Chronicle Detailing

 the

 Disappearing Egalitarianism of Oz.

So now we are at war again in the Middle East.

 “No we’re not,….it’s a Humanitarian Mission” stutters Prime Miniature, Rabid-the-Hun.

No… it’s not to support American Oil Companies to protect their assets, “…it’s to degrade the evil death cult ISIS and stop its terrorism and killing of people.” 

We will commit these “Humanitarian Acts” by dropping bombs on people, too.

Rabid-the-Hun

Chiming in with his even-more-rabid-than-he colleagues, Peta “Bloody-Idiot” Credlin (his C of S), Cory “Bestiality” Bernardi,  Bronwen “Pompadour-Kerosene Bath” Bishop and PUP Senator, Jackie “Tassie-Wing-Nut” Lambie, Rabid-the-Hun opined that “he too, found the Burqa, confronting.”

Bestiality Bernardi

After everyone had stopped laughing, particularly in the light of his penchant for displaying as much as his genitalia as possible with clothing on: in his “Budgie Smugglers” and his cycling Lycra. We found out that women wearing the Burqa had, by the Speaker Bishop and her Senate compatriot The Once Honourable Stephen Parry, been segregated when visiting Parliament to being placed behind a glassed in area specifically used for noisy schoolchildren.

It seems these women so attired, are a security risk.

Bronwen Bishop

I can only surmise that the Opera singer’s daughter didn’t like the costume and that he ex-copper was only trying to further embalm the truth like his fellow Senator Brandis.

It finally occurred to these Right-Wing paragons of intelligence, freedom, fair play and social harmony that A/ if the Burqa attired Women were indeed a security risk why would you place them with children? B/ did this little frolic contravene both the Racial discrimination and the Sex Discrimiation Acts? And C/ was it religiously intolerant and undemocratic?

Some unkind souls offered Rabid-the-Hun a Burqa…. to cover the Egg on his face.

The much vaunted, “Budget Crisis” will really happen because it’s now needed to fund a war.

War is not a crisis.

Welfare, education, health, superannuation and pensions and social harmony are.

It was interesting to note that ex-liarbril and fellow traveller of “Coot’s-With-Queer-Ideas-from-a-Parallel-Universe” (IPA) Timmy “Twat-Freedom-Man” Wilson was again nowhere to be heard on this issue.

It’s amazing what $330,000.00 p.a. doesn’t buy you.

 

Timmy"Twat-Freedom-Man" Wilson.

In speaking of Georgie “Bookshelves” Brandis… “Sotto Voce” of course, it now seems that our spy and security forces are not allowed to torture suspects, although what “torture” is exactly hasn’t been defined. But they will be able to arrest anyone publicly criticising their operational matters… e.g. reporting things like the bungled training raid in Melbourne some years back in a prominent hotel that involved Vic Police… or the raid on the Lawyer assisting Timor-Leste in its struggle for a fairer deal on its Oil reserves (actually, it’s to protect “Little Johnnie” Howard and then Foreign Minister, Alex “Things-That-Batter-Fish-Nets” Downer from prosecution?) or even perhaps the rumours that ASIO’s new “secure” headquarters in Canberra have already been compromised by Chinese Intelligence.. will land you in prison.

Geez, where’s Timmy ”Twat-Freedom-Man” when ya need ’im

It's the cynical erosion of trust by the right-wingers that has irreparably damaged the country.

They’ve been “grooming” the public for years… a touch here a touch there.. and now it’s time for the ”kill.”

The Liarbril pandering to the banalities of the Aspirational Bogan has brought its obvious reward in the Islamaphobia presently being witnessed.

Now, on so many levels, this place that was once admired throughout the world for its levels of acceptance and candour is now seen as foolish, narrow minded and cruel.

Thank you, Liarbrils and your lick-spittle IPA fellow-travellers for having only the vision of your donors at heart…lowest common denominator of medieval fuedalism.

The crux, of all this as expressed by America’s most successful investor Warren Buffet: "There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making the war, and we’re winning."

"Rabid-The-Hun" is more of a threat because he has supporters within the “Bogan Aspirational” community and the backing of powerful vested interests.

His is the passport which should be cancelled.

His consorting with right wing “Tea-Party” ideologues in America is only damaging Australia’s future and its international reputation.

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane

...ranting into the Abyss of the new Dark Age

G’day Possums,

This is me with Jeff (“Boof-Head”, “Foot-in-Mouth”, “Bully-Boy”) Kennett: The Dorian Gray of Tardis State (“Where-All-Goes-Backward”) politics. It was made some years ago as a fund-raiser item when this eminence grise’ was leading the Liarbril pack and selling off the most profitable, publicly owned bits of the Tardis State (“Where-All-Goes-Backward”) to overseas private interests so he could destroy Unionism. 

Ya wanna complain ‘bout your electricity, transport, water, councils, building approval times, hospital waiting lists, emergency ward crisis… see “Boof-Head!”

He has Hob-nail Boots …all the better for kicking you when you’re down. He’s sitting on a coffin with a “V” on it… an explanation shouldn’t be necessary.

He’s also either opening a bottle of Liarbril fund-raiser wine, allegedly, sold illegally from his parliamentary office (shades of “Fiddles” Shaw)…or he’s ..  well let’s just not go there, eh?

And he’s got a bunch of Crown Casino chits in his back pocket;  although now is not the time to depress you with the social costs of 
gambling or back-scratching, is it?

Again…see “Boof-head”… he’s got a sinecure; the Farthest Azure.

I’ve been thinking it might be time to re-constitute the clay and model a Federal series a’la “Rubbery Figures” meets “I am not an Animal” for filmic purposes….. …contributions as to characters, content, chorus, costume, cynicism and scenarios most welcome.

I viewed the Ballarat Photographic National Show t’other day at BFAG. Whilst I can be positive about this show to the extent that all the work exhibited was very worthy, very well made, very solid technically and very well presented, I could only hear conversations about HDR technique and lenses and cameras. Nothing in this exhibition struck me as having a feeling for an idea or concept that was pursued with that brio of aesthetic vigour which allows chance, happenstance, influence and that tenuous personal search for the sublime which informs and creates something that exists independently outside of you.

It was all too formally correct, too overworked and ultimately, repellingly dull.

I’ve no samples to show here, as BFAG in its wisdom, A/; wouldn’t allow photo’s, although B/; I didn’t have a camera with me but would have used it if I had; C/; wasn’t willing to part with $12.50 for an illustrated program and D/; I’m not intending to return. 

It’s a good photo show but it ain’t what art is made from!

Them following are some of my favourites from work this year...an eclectic selection

 Personal highlights re this blog from 2013: Fairfax journo writing about the bitchy, vituperative election campaign and the 3 years preceeding it …bemoans “Sophie Mirabella  being called “Pit-Bull”…. I think I was the first with that phrase.  And some weeks ago on Late-Night-Live with Phillip Adams, (may he be well),  “…and now let’s go to the Tardis State of Victoria…” Eureka!

Wombat Droppings or Low-Down Australian Politics

Australia quickly need to take stock of what sort of country they want because the one we are fast getting is not how I think we would generally define ourselves.

We are allowing one of the worlds best health systems be “Americanized”, our environment blasted for multi-national profit, our education system being ripped to privatised shreds,  a welfare system that succours the middle-class, not the needy and a incompetent pretend government too willing to sell off our sovereignty.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire

Jack And Alexandra

Some think that “choice” in Education, Health, Services and Transport is essential for the well-being of society when the opposite is true. 

Lake Mungo Dunes

Choice is about selectivity, exclusivity, class and ultimately, selfishness. It is a definition of division within society and a tacit acknowledgement that some are “better”, more worthy and of more value to the society than others primarily because of their wealth.
 

Olivia and Gus

It is much easier to think this way when wealth is spread disproportionately. Your belonging to, being in and only having to consider a small group is much easier to deal with than having to reasonably consider society as an equitable whole. The exclusiveness of your group defines its simpler parameters, its notions of  “well-being”, like its wealth cannot to be shared, as that would deny it the charm of its exclusivity.

It is therefore a self-referential, selfish system.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire

St Kilda

A divided society is neither a happy one nor a safe one. Historically, inequality fosters resentment and ultimately, retribution. All that is not new but what is it’s sad to say is that the arguments for maintaining contemporary inequality that have been raised to near philosophic levels are: “Individual Aspiration” and the “Economy”. It’s now almost a holy virtue for an individual to “Aspire” but unfortunately as the “Economy” can only afford so much Individual Aspiration there is not enough of it to go around. Ergo: most will have to miss out.

There is a sense of mindlessness in this place and when the inevitable backlash occurs our ugliness will be fully revealed.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire

Scott “The Drone” Morrison goes to water over high court challenge to his visa changes for refugees and hides from journalists by not having weekly (or should that be weakly?) press briefings. Were the journo’s not laughing at his “stand-up “ any more?

The Dalai Lama’s answer to the question of what surprised him most about humanity was: “Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”    There's a person who has made a real choice.

“John Howard and Julia Gillard both had their share of haters.  Alas, I fear many otherwise decent Australians have become angry little haters. It is easy to think that who and what we dislike says something about us. In a small way it does. The narcissistic think it important that the world knows their view. They are in fact talking about themselves.” Amanda “Il Patrone” Vanstone (she of Cornelia Rau and Vivian Solon infamy, amongst other indiscretions as a minister) obfuscating hypocritically and inaccurately again.  Perhaps Mandy was really thinking of Scott Morrison, or Cory Bernardi or even Steve Ciobo. Maybe even Alan “Bondi’ Jones or the Queensland restaurateur and his sexist, misogynist menu? Or perhaps this is a pathetic attempt to tell us subtly that Andrew Bolt is a decent writer and requires more freedom to express himself?
And for Mandy to equate the vileness meted out to Gillard by the Murdoch press and minions with the treatment “Little Johnny” received only indicates her sheer political (liarbril) blindness to actuality.  Which parts of the vile torrents pouring from her conservative side of politics could she  compare and contrast with Labor's actions?
 
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire

Heather “Leer” Ridout, Peter “Children Overboard-Rottweiler” Reith,  Michael “Thug” Kroger and Peter “I-Had-a-Baton-Once” Costello came to mind t’other day when Coca-Cola-Amatil, owners of the Ardmona  canneries in Shepparton sacked 70 of its full time maintenance staff to replace them with contract workers. CCA did this it seems to curry favour with “Rabbott” in order to get $25,000,000.00 as a bailout package.

It has an eerie resemblance to an interstate plastics manufacturer who, back in 2005 bought a second business in “The Tardis State” (Where-All-Goes-Backward) and was promptly conned by the afore-mentioned to “experiment” with Industrial Relations by “offering” his workers the “choice” to be self-employed. 
This was gleefully abetted by “The-Coots-with-Queer-Ideas-from-a-Parallel-Universe,” the IPA.

Rehearsal

Needless to say the “experiment” failed. The business folded and 80 workers lost their jobs. Sadder to note, the original interstate business, a family one, of 60 years productive service folded the next year, with its 80 workers losing their jobs, too.

I’m sure the ideological mongrels from the IPA were well satisfied with their “experiment” as were Ridout, Kroger, Costello and Reith!  Pity they've never had to run a business or feel responsible for 160 losing their livelihoods.

Let’s keep an eye on Shepparton and the tenor of the town.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire

Wombat Droppings or Low Down Politics in Oz

What I’m finding interesting is the genuine tenor of criticism that this woeful Liarbril rabble is getting and of their almost complete lack of vision for this country.

It’s not coming from the Murdoch controlled outlets, as you would expect, but by many of the more sober and thoughtful blogs. It is exposing deep division in this country that does not auger well for the future. I’m not at all happy to say that things I surmised about 12 and 18 months ago have come to pass and were not just silly rants.

Manufacturing is being gutted and the sycophantic msm are looking sillier by the minute attempting to prop up these incompetent IPA spruikers as the gap between their copy and reality becomes wider.

This recent excoriation of Piers “Toad-Hall” Akerman from Annabel Crabbe,  where  he has joined the chorus line of Let’s-Create-a-Diversion-and-Bash-The-ABC, is a case in point.

“The broader narrative here may well be an ecological tale different from but no less tragic than Nemo's; the politically seasonal loss of food supply for the mature right-wing cheerleader columnist. When Labor is in power, there is red meat aplenty, but when the Coalition rules, these mighty carnivores are obliged to scrape by on a meagre diet of public broadcasters and animated woodland creatures. You've got to make a living, don't you?
And when you think about it, perhaps it's not so silly after all that a writer in the Akerman genre would feel adequately qualified to take on a cartoon pig, whose chief failing - feminism aside - is that she is shouty, argumentative, one-dimensional and just that little bit too loud.”
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which." Annabel Crabb

Then there was a Ms Parnell McGuiness opining that there should be an enquiry into Unions although she doesn’t know or had much to do with Unions but I-Was-Told- to –Agree-With-This-So-I-Will. Ms McGuinness allegedly runs a company called “Thought Broker” that gives advice. One hopes that their advice is from a better knowledge base than this one evidenced on “The Drum!”

Well, it is the “Silly-Season!”

Cory “Bestiality” Bernardi obviously doesn't want to sit next to Malcolm “von Ribbentrop” Turnbull in parliament for fear of catching something…. possibly fleas and also feels, as a backbencher and  sacked parliamentary secretary, justified in telling a minister how to act. This is not to be taken as evidence of a dysfunctional government, no, no it’s just the hurley-burley of a vibrant democracy; it’s only dysfunctional when Labor argue with each other.

Labor were never actually dysfunctional; it was a projection of the sociopaths who are now exhibiting their true worth and last week would have lost an election if it had been held. There is a petition to the GG doing the rounds to sack “Rabbott” and his nefarious bludgers

And, well, it is the “Silly-Season!”

More proof of that sociopathic dysfunction came a couple of days ago when “Rabbott” announced his analysis of his first “100 Days.” Mrs Wombat and I were driving at the time and on hearing that “….. we have shown ourselves to be a competent and trustworthy government….” nearly ran off the road with laughter.
The whole thing is beginning to look like a tableau painted by Hieronymus Bosch.

Does “Rabbott” really believe when he says, “We are a competent, trustworthy government?” After the backflips, lies, stuff-ups and diplomatic gaffes that would have the press apoplectic if it was Labor being as incompetent. Or is it just another Neo-Fascist Orwellianism to batter the minds of the public into submission by repeating lies?
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which."
More worrying are the Pacific Trade Talks where Andrew “La-La” Robb looks as if he is about to (in secret) let the Americans rip into the PBS and convert Australia’s Health System into the disaster that is America’s and Greg “Ozone-Hole” Hunt thinks that dumping 3,000,000 tonnes of dredging material onto the Barrier Reef will not diminish it; and that letting cattle back into the High Country will stop bushfires. He must have got that last one from Wicki. 
http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2013/12/alarm-bells-clang-over-robb-pbs-sellout/
Joe “Cereal-Killer”Hockey is about to announce “…that we’ll all be rooned” as, “It’s-All Labor’s-Fault” that we gave $10Billion to the Reserve bank and not our $24 Billion parental leave scheme for the “Upper-Middle-Class-Needy” or the extra $1.2 Billion going to the States who wouldn’t sign up for the Gonski that we’re not going to implement is all Labour’s fault, too. As is the $20 Million we’re now not going to buy Indonesian fishing boats with but convert into an ad campaign to advertise things we wont be able to tell you…. and it’s all such a mess we’ll have to wait till next May to tackle this “Economy-in-Crisis.”  Take the batteries out of you Bull-Shit Meters Petals, they just might explode!
When you have a satirist (John Birmingham) calling this the “Golden-Age” of  Satire and saying that he should forward his pay to Scott “The-Drone” Morisson as he is the one really writing his satirical material you have to believe that this lot are as bad as being portrayed. It would be funny if not tragic for the country.

Well, it is the “Silly-Season!”

There’s to be a Royal Commission into the “Pink Batts” deaths to sling mud at Labor. Not a Royal Commission into The Attorney General “Loose-Lips” Brandis’ use of ASIO to “Nobble” witnesses into Little Johnny Howard’s lot spying on Timor-Leste or the then Foreign Minister, Alex “Fish-Net’s-that-Batter” Downer’s involvement in assisting Woodside Petroleum (whom he now works for) in talks with Timor-Leste ?
Loose-Lips has also turned logic on its head and appointed Coot-With-Queer-Ideas-from-a-Parallel-Universe, Tim "Twat" Wilson from the IPA as a Human Rights Commissioner. The IPA think that the Human Rights Commission should be abolished. Brandis said that "Twat"Wilson will add "balance." Sort of like the balance you have with one person on a see-saw!
  Well, it is the “Silly-Season!”

Police here in the “Tardis” State (Where-All-Goes-Backward) are falling over themselves to assist residents in understanding why they really do need the East-West Link for $8 billion. If the residents query why such understanding has to found in a Rugby tackle they are asked for an $8,000.00 fee! This fee also apply to “The Knitting Nannas” who sit in Toolangi trees knitting, attempting to thwart Vic Forests renovation of the homes of the endangered Leadbeater’s Possum.
Geoff “Fiddles” Shaw has warned Santa about staying too long at Pretend Premier Dennis “Inutilis-Rusticus” Napthine’s place or he’ll have another word with “The Speaker”  and call any journalist who asks him a question, a Vulture. So there! 
                                                                               
Well, it is the “Silly-Season!”  

Cheers Possums,
Shane
