Finding A Complete Balls-Up and Another Year Wasted.

G'day Petals,

Here are a few shots from a rehearsal for a performance .

I decided that I would shoot the whole thing with slow shutter and think that the results are rather indicative of the performance title: "Esprit de la Dance"

Wombat Droppings: the chronicle of the Demise of Australian Egalitarianism and the Rise of Fascism


In a failure-fuelled funk our Prime Miniature, Rabid-the-Hun has taken to throwing his cards in the air as a hubristic method of shuffling his cabinet.
Scott ”The Drone” Morrison is out of The Department of Inflicting Pain, Suffering, Torture and Death on asylum seekers (formerly, Dept. of Immigration) and has been asked to wreak his mis-apprehended Xtianiaty on the poor souls who have to deal with the Dept. of Social Security. 
Being in the S.S. will allow Scott to don his fetching Black uniform when whipping the unemployed into shape.
Rabid-the-Hun has doubled the number of women in cabinet. There are now, two!
Peter “Dodo” Dutton, of let’s destroy Medi-Bank notoriety has been allocated Cruelty to Refugees, which given his utter lack of talent should overwhelm him and thankfully cause his early demise.
His Un-Health portfolio will be taken by Sussan “Snarler” Ley.  Although lacking the humorous touch of “Dodo” she will finally mend the insanity of a public health system and completely privatise it for individual profit.
A non-entity climate change denier has been made science minister.  Yep, we now have a science minister… or a Wizard…. or something.
I think his role will be to keep the Wikkipedia learned Environment Minister “Ozone-Hole” Hunt from straying into the heresy of thinking the earth is not flat and holding his hand so he doesn’t fall off the edge.
Senator “I’ve-Got-that-Sinking-Feeling” Johnston has had his toys soldiers and canoes taken away from him ‘cause he wouldn’t play nicely and kept poking his tongue out at the toy-makers. His toys have been given to Kevin “Medieval” Andrews to play with and it is expected that new crossbows will be issued to all army personal within weeks, and that four man Coracles have been ordered for the navy from a Welsh supplier. 
Kelly “Motor-Mouth-Shaddupa–ya-Face” O’Dwyer has been sent down to the front bench to drown out  “Commissar” Peta Credlin and Julie “Asbestos” Bishop and their interminable arguing.
Arfur “Da Spiv” Sinodinas has stood down as assistant finance minister after forgetting who paid who when moonlighting for ex-Labor pollie Eddie “Brown-Paper-Bag” Obeid.
It is widely thought that Arfur is looking forward to telling his life story in detail to the judiciary quite soon.
In his excitement of re-arranging the Deck Chairs, Rabid-the-Hun noted that the repeal of The Price on Carbon which although bad for the environment, slightly disastrous for the budget and the opposite of what the real world is doing was really, really good for women.
This has been one of his best jokes for months and everyone had a hearty laugh at his non-misogynistic sensitivity and deference to the little ladies.  
We look forward, too, to the Chinese and Korean workers coming here on 457 visas to assist in employment.

 And then there was Graeme Morris’ joke: blathering on about how "Magical" the changing of the deck-chairs on the rabble's sinking ship was... role-playing an utterly deluded, off into another paradigm libertarian, his sheer manic thoughts made more people laugh….. but it did rather  seem to have been similar in mood to the bunker in Berlin in May '45.


And with its ending 2014 provided the sad realisation that trust given is mostly abused and that ego is prime.

Hoo-roo Possums,
Shane.

Blood and Sand 2 and the hidden Grenade

Blood and Sand 2:  Perhaps we should have a "Missile Fund for Humanity" drive?  Or better, perhaps we should just March on Canberra and throw the incompetents out?

Wombat Droppings
or
A Chronicle Detailing
 the
 Disappearing Egalitarianism of Oz.


The hand grenade of their own stupidity is that the wealthiest seats in Liarbril electorates have suffered only about 10% of the budget cuts as compared to the poorest in Labor seats. 
It will not be a Muslim who’ll pull the pin, it’ll be one of the 25% below the poverty line, one of the unemployed or one of those unable to afford an education, housing, health or food.

The dog-whistling over terror conveniently ignores the manufacture of drugs, particularly “ice” by criminal bikie gangs whose activities are “observed” but don’t rate an 800 police strength raid. 
Activities that are far worse in their terrorist effect on the community than any Muslim has been accused of or perpetrated.

David "Gunna" Johnston  was all over the shop on "Insiders" last week.
Apart from his constant contradictions... "it might be easier than we first thought.." and"... although there are some excellent elements in the Iraqi Army to work with..."  and  "...we'll degrade the baddies"   and    "... it might be more easier.." (?)
It all sounded a bit too much like a Boy-With-a-Toy and he incompetently stumbled over how much it is all going to cost; as did Rabid-the-Hun to the same questions.

The Liarbril’s credibility with their vicious nonsense and their pretence of being a ruling party is being severely and, I think, terminally compromised. In ruling according to “thought-bubbles” from the “Coots-with-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe” (IPA) for oligarchs and select business,’ not only are they wasting the legitimacy of government but are becoming the most untrustworthy rabble to ever be in Federal Parliament.

This is the most incompetent government Oz has ever had.

We have no money to fund education, healthcare or pensions. No money for job creation or social security or significant infrastructureand manufacturing  but there’s $600,000,000.00 for spying on us and $600,000.00 per missile or bomb dropped as a humanitarian gesture on top of the estimated $500,000,000.00 for the Iraq#2 frolic.

Soon there will be a real budget emergency.

Perhaps we should have a "Missile Fund for Humanity" drive?  Or better, perhaps we should just March on Canberra and throw the incompetents out? 

Anyone?

It would seem that more than 50,000 people spontaneously booing Rabid-the-Hun at the footy isn't newsworthy; not reported any where except by the Guardian a week later.
I thought it was a very significant poll and a direct proof of what I’m saying, Petals.
We have become a severely divided society and there is much trouble brewing!

*StopPress* Rabid-the-Hun has said he'll "shirt-front" Putin over the shot down airliner when the Russian arrives for the G20 meeting in Brisbane.  Goodie.....farcical entertainment for the Aspirational Bogans as we have a "Face-Off of Fascists!"
Most betting seems to be favouring a Putin win but how long it will take for Australia's reputation to recover is another matter altogether.
Apart from the most incompetent government we can now, sadly add, the most ludicrous.



Hoor-roo Possums,
Shane
