The First Wave…

Shane with election results

G’day Petals,

“Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves, with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called "internal wave train".”… (Wicki)

I believe Victorians have this past weekend, just experienced “the first wave.” and unless an unlikely turnaround occurs very quickly in the culture of The Ruling Rabble a Tsunami on a scale rarely seen is likely to swamp the entire nation next May.

Has a Ruling Rabble campaign ever been so sloppy, so full of gaffes, faux pas, misstatements, dirty pool and outright lies and dodgy robo-calls?

Shadow ministers failing to “front” media opportunities, candidates not understanding their supposed policy's, unseemly point-scoring, inappropriate politicisation of tragedy, dog-whistling and race-baiting and the now standard right-wing religious assaults on gender issues it was apparent that things were not well in the ruling rabble cabal.

 

Entrance

It has been alleged that The Ruling rabble were so desperate for people to hand out “how-to-vote” cards at pre-poll stations that students were being offered $20.00 p.h. “brown-envelope-cash-in-hand” to cover what volunteers normally assist with and that students in Indonesia were employed to produce “attack-ad” videos, all of which which gives a flavour of a 1945 Fuhrer-Bunker mentality prevailing.

Party President Mick, Bruiser Kroger managed to set off brush fires whenever his pugnacious presence ventured too far from his native tribal areas of a merchant bank or Toorak and he was the butt of some very entertaining television when Ruling Rabble ex-premier, Bully-Boy , Foot-in-Mouth Kennett publicly told him on election night to resign by midnight over the electoral debacle unfolding.

I might add Petals, that it is Kennett’s disastrous reign and wholesale selling off of the state from1992-99 from which Victorian infrastructure is still recovering and which makes his call on Kroger all the more piquant.

 

Entrance

Kroger for his part is unrepentant of his divisive presidency, the fiscal malfunctions and his promotion of ultra right-wing religious nutters to control essential committees at the expense of a more balanced centrist policy. He also arrogantly thinks that Victorian voters “got-it-wrong” on election day and in the company of some of his deluded federal colleagues sees nothing wrong in the direction his party is travelling in.

Federal Ruling Rabble Money-lender, Fictions Frydenberg oddly, and perversely persisted that there was nothing in the federal Ruling Rabble civil war that had an effect on the Victorian result and that Potato-Head Dutton’s race-baiting wasn’t a factor, that neither was the loss of Truffles to the factional assassin’s knives or that his replacement turning into a Trump-Lite fake in the incompetent Scummo Morrison was not a problem either.

And of course, a Ruling Rabble branch in NSW wanting Truffles ritually de-frocked is an indication of sanity prevailing, isn’t it?

Sarah Henderson (federal, Corangamite) opining on the fact that only five women remain in the state parliamentary branch said that if people wanted more women in the Ruling Rabble then Labor members should vote for her!

This quaintly bizarre political notion was possibly induced by her utter distraction at her parlous electoral margin of 0.3% ....meaning she is “gone” as soon as the polling booths open!

Tommy Silly-Boy, Switzer (Centre for Independent Studies, right-wing echo chamber) and Danny Pussy, Wild (IPA propagandist) both ranted their penny worth on the shellacking and of course deliberately missed the whole point. A point being, that implemetation of their theories have caused this  reversal.

People rejected trickle down economics. People rejected race-baiting. People rejected Matty Thug Guy’s appropriation of their right wing cant of rampant individualism and “market forces” which have  in the energy market as in education and services, shown not to be in the community interest but against it. That cutting wages, penalty rates and medical services creates dissension not stability.

This is perhaps a seminal moment when people realised that acting in building a positive future for the majority, developing broad based inclusive programs and providing essential infrastructure across the state is preferable to carping criticism, jobs for the boys and wholesale rorting by a select few bankers. That building is better than tearing down, that owning is better than renting, that looking forward is better than seeking the past, acceptance  better than rejection and collegiality is more productive than divisive fear-mongering.

Some zoologists think that some animal species have an ability to sense subsonic Rayleigh waves from an earthquake or a tsunami heralding its arrival. …. it is fairly apparent that the Federal Ruling Rabble lack this capacity and talent, too!

Walking Queenscliff and going Up the Spout…

Shane with Red Flag

G'day  Petals,

Mrs Wombat and I had a wander around Queenscliff, a pretty seaside town with quite a history from the beginnings of Victorian settlement. 

It has a variety of architectural styles and much in the way of the expensive new bland in holiday abode, blue gingham building design. 

An then there is Wombat droppings; the chronicle of this Wombat's country's  demise and becoming nothing more than a hole in the ground provider of raw material to the lowest bidder.

Wombat Droppings or Low Down Oz Politics

“My . Vellow . Auztralian .”... woodenly intoned Unemployment Minister, Senator Eric “Vichy” Abetz,  “Ve . Haf a Nui . vay . ov .making you voerk. And . you . vill be happier, less . stressed and . var, var . less .costly . to . your . vellow . Auztralian.”

The automata having been fully wound up for his “Lateline” interview with Emma Alberici, “Vichy“, with head well back, to make himself look taller, whirred and rattled through his repertoire of answers with nary a mental glance as to their content being relevant to the question and finished with a mechanical smile so smug in its mirthless stupidity that it could well be the model for all mindless mirthless smiles.

The biggest bang for taxpayer buck was the revelation that 50-60 year old job seekers will only have to volunteer for 15 hours of work a week to qualify for the dole.

It is understood (but not yet officially announced) that the Defence Force work they can volunteer for will include land-mine and roadside bomb clearance. Wheelchair and motorised scooter unemployed will be particularly encouraged to volunteer for this exciting work as they can cover a much wider area than those with sticks, crutches or walking frames.

This cunning plan has obvious side effect benefits for the Murdoch-Mandated Liarbrils.

Like Fighter pilots in WW1 whose lives at “the front” was estimated to be 10-15 hours, life expectancy will be similar for these unemployed thus guaranteeing a high turn-over and 10-15 years later, less economic pressure on pension entitlements and the PBS.
Please note that volunteering is compulsory if you want the dole.... ergo, you work for a minimum wage.

Queenscliff, Vic

Joe “Cereal / Toyota-Killer” Hockey has finally admitted that there is no budget emergency and that the Australian economy is actually in good shape. He made the confessional announcement in New Zealand as it would not be believed in Australia given the effectiveness of the Liarbril’s four year misinformation campaign promulgated through the Murdoch media and given the entrenched economic stupidity of both the Business Council and the fantasist IPA  (“Coot’s-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe”) who effectively run Australia.

It would seem that “Cereal / Toyota-Killer”, feeling the odious wrath of unpopularity wafting about his ego has begun to cast-off from his Titanic like Government by also releasing the longest job application CV in history. His claims that of it being A/, biography, B/ truthful, and C/ not self-serving have been treated with the some of the disdain that most political hagiography’s deserve.

Laughing Kookaburra

As happened to “Little-Johnny” Howard’s when 9/11 occurred, “Rabbutt-the-Huns” popularity has been boosted by the murders of some 300 people on MH-17 by some Slavs.

The Singaporean “Straits Times,” this Wombat has been led to believe, is claiming it could have been the Ukrainians and not the Russians at fault. 
“Rabbutt-the-Hun’s” “Hairy-Chested” three word, single syllable mumblings have enlivened Bogan minds once again as violence is much more interesting to them than a social compact and in the real vision of dismembered bodies is affirmation of why they enjoy “shoot-em-up” games and “slasher“ films.

We can find little truth in the rumour that “Rabbutt-the-Hun” has hoped his Papal friend Pell would be in an Indulgent mood and recruit the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to work alongside “Slagger”Textor on the next Liarbril campaign titled: Fear and Death Does So Become a Liarbril.

Queenscliff, Vic.

Scott “Drone” Morrison has decided that Curry is not his favourite dish and the High Court not his favourite playpen.

Author and Man Booker contender, Richard Flanagan discussing his book “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” said that we’re on a slippery slope with the cruelties being enacted on Manus and Christmas Islands and until recently, floating Hulks. He said that the evil we are doing cannot be contained only there. It is inevitable that it will permeate out and seep through our society.

Aspirational Bogans, “Coot’s-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe,” and Liarbril and Notional Party members think this is silly and point to their time honoured banner by Heironymous Bosch in refutation of anything like that happening.

IPA led Recovery

In the “Tardis State” Where-All-Goes-Backward, Un-Planning Minister Matty “What’s-a-Green-wedge” Guy has been ventilating vociferously about opposition Leader Daniel Andrews’ suitability to be Premier because of leaks made by the Liarbrils of the Tardis State that they hate each other’s guts. “The Age” also went into a faux rage over the matter to cover the fact that the reporter who mislaid their recording device (picked up and listened to by Labor apparatchiks) had recorded “Off-the-Record” interviews and had been less than forthright in their interview dealings….. a bizarre little episode that might, with further investigation reveal the aging but still malevolent claws of the “Dorian Gray of Tardis State Politics” Jeff “Bully-Boy” Kennett…… but then Victoria under the Liarbrils is a peculiar place where a call centre job is more esteemed than a scientific one and Liarbril fundraising is reaching the art form levels of their NSW counterparts…..clean energy is bad and dirty energy good….unfortunately, no-one thought to ask Matty whether his costing to the Tardis State taxpayer of $3,000,000.00 because of his Ventnor Frolic made him more suitable than Andrews as a future premier

...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

The sleep of reason..outdoor gallery Ballarat exhibition

 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

Frogmore, Trentham

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?

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

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.

Mildura, Grand

“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.

I have probably said before that the number of shots  taken during a performance often indicates a visceral response to its aesthetic and technical worth.

Similarly when doing the post process: you see somewhat more clearly how the performers responded in detail and you gain further insights into the idea of the work.

Perhaps it was the costumes or the groupings but I kept being reminded of Poussin

and, to a certain extent, Caravaggio so have determined to organise a shoot mid January to realise some of the ideas floating about that all this has stimulated.

Wombat Droppings or Low, Down-Under Politics

Very, very interesting is the almost total lack of Liarbril objection/refutation to any number of severely critical articles in blogs various on this incompetent rabble of a government.... are their nostrils finally filling with the stench of a rotting body which was once a social entity or are they just shielding themselves from the searing glare of their own choice?

In an appointment (without interview) Tim “Twat” Wilson has been made a Commissioner for Human Rights by alleged Attorney General, George “Library Rorts” Brandis. What this “Coot-With-Queer-Ideas-from–a-Parallel –Universe (aka the IPA) knows about humans is yet to be ascertained, as do his qualifications but he was consoled by his friend for giving up not only his Liarbril Party but his IPA membership too.  

 It would look odd taking $300,000.00 a year in a job you vehemently argued should be abolished!

The free speech thingy matters little in the context of these Bolt "Dolt" types; there is no point in having them removed by a tsunami of reaction. Better to keep their ilk in place as a poignant reminder of how stupidly fallible paid apparatchiks can be.

http://theaimn.com/2013/12/19/the-abbott-form-of-social-engineering/

We are now to have Codes of Conduct for priests and asylum seekers… the first category indicates, how morally bereft Australians society has become and the latter, how intensely cruel and uncaring we are.

The Spirit of Xmas was evoked when Prime Miniature “Rabbott” heart-warmingly congratulated Holden workers on being “liberated from working” but declined to say when, economically, the country will be fully devastated and there will be liberation for all. 

What they are doing is  “Bully-Boy” Kennett (The Dorian Grey of the Tardis State “Where-all-Goes-Backward”) writ on a larger scale: obliterate the workforce to fragment the Unions, privatise everything within reach, allow the new bosses to introduce low wages and strip back penalty rates, introduce more draconian anti-demonstration legislation …as their hero Menzies once said “A stable economy is one where there are two workers outside the factory for every one inside.”

“I am absolutely determined to change... and we will change within 12 months." A statement ostensibly made regarding the adoption of overseas children but sounding more like one of “Rabbott’s” Freudian slips concerning his rabble’s plummeting poll ratings. A smiling photo op with a celeb or two and attempting a kindness for once that costs nothing whilst slashing and burning everything else:  pardon me for my cynicism.

It all comes down to what is "vision" and "Rabbott's" character is the controlling factor in that.   

Take that, as you will….

Then, if we look at the Corman's, Bernardi's, Ciobo's, Brough's, Pynes' Cash's, Brandis' and Abetz's et al, of this rabble, the vision "thing" is decidedly bleak and it will make no difference if "Rabbott" gets rolled in six months and "von Ribbentrop"Turnbull is voted office boy for the BCA & IPA, as the aforementioned rabble still sit there festering within the remnants of democracy.

One thing they do well though is to clear the "grey" areas... one is seeing with a simpler clarity.

“Rabbott” is prepared to spend $25,000,000.00 of taxpayers’ money in a vicious little political witch-hunt over the “Pink Batts” issue. Called a “Debacle” by Murdoch’s minions, this economic stimulation scheme saw 4 young male employees die from either eletrocution or Heat-Stroke when installing the Batts in ceilings. Blaming the Federal Government of the time for the failings of the employers or the State Occupational Health and Safety Authorities is an interesting move.

Apart from ignoring the 128 other workplace deaths in the past 12 months it also ignores the stimulus to the economy, the ongoing benefits of lower power usage and more energy efficient homes.

Perhaps we could have a Royal Commission into the 2 military deaths caused by “Little Johnnie” Howard’s foray into Iraq to look for what he said were “weapons of mass destruction” or perhaps one into politicians rorting their travel and electoral allowances or better, one into the role Alex “Fish-Nets-That-Batter” Downer played in the Timor Sea Oil and Gas negotiations with Woodside?

I have a feeling that this tactic by “Rabbott” might be over-reach. Ashby-Gate and Thommo-Gate are being found more and more spurious and having brought  Government ministers into the firing line, “Rabbott’ is lining his own side up for the inevitable and bloody pay-back.The Spirit of Xmas.

 

Pick the Prime Minister

Scott “The Drone” Morrison in deciding that Orwellian language alone is not sufficient for his “stand-up comedy act” has incorporated “Catch-22” into his repertoire. Refugees in the country (all Labor’s fault, of course) who co-habit to stretch their munificent $250.00 a week benefit whilst not being allowed to work; and who make too much noise, look different, speak a language other the Liarbril-ese or cook anything other than chops and three veg will be deported to Manus Island for re-education and more appropriate summer co-habitation in tents.
The Spirit of Xmas.

 It has not been announced if the rules of the The Augustine Cup cricket match at Lords of Anglican clergy vs Catholic priests from the Vatican are to be amended re: the Vatican side bowling a maiden over!

Fair dinkum ...It's On...

 

Wombat Droppings: Fair Dinkum.. It’s On and Murdoch is off.

Shane with a mate.

Liarbril candidate for Greenway Jaymes Diaz has his 5 minutes of embarrassment and showcases the levels of talent the Liarbrils are blessed with.

And this is what the Ugly American, “Phone Hack” Murdoch wants to see in Parliament?

Julie “Death Stare” Bishop opines that Rudd is fantasizing about the campaign being waged by the Murdoch press. 
She neglected to say which parallel universe she was speaking from.

Will Taylor riposte to Murdoch merde.

Laborite Far North Ex-Premier Peter Beattie has called his wife’s bluff about killing him if he returns to politics and is standing for the Federal seat of Forde… dumped candidate Des Hardman may be planning to revise wife’s idea and implement it himself.

Scottt “The Drone” Morrisson sees no conflict of interest in taking a trip to Nauru funded by Toll Holdings who supply tents and equipment for asylum seeker habitation. Nah, no conflict of interest there…..just good-ol backscratching.

And as one wag reminded us, it was “The Drone” who thought up the “Where-The-Hell-Are-You” ad campaign (when he was allegedly assaulting his fellow workers) at Tourism Australia so it’s a bit hard to understand his vehemence about the boat arrivals when the indications are it was a very successful campaign.

Oohh.. they’re not tourists …they want to stay?  That’s different.

Tony “Rabbott” says, “Me too, Sir, me too!” and supports Labor’s plans for the Gonski education funding reforms. Opposition Education Minister Chris “The Whyne” Pyne, without batting an eyelid, agrees. 24 hours earlier he thought it was awful and dumb which just goes to show that there is no such thing as a certainty, knowledge, trustworthiness or commitment. "Rabbott" and Joe "Oh-What-a-Feeling" Hockey can't agree on whether they will trust Treasury to project budget figures. But this is not an indication that they're a rabble wanting a brawl.No..... this is the next government

Both “Rabbott” and “The Whyne” also neglected to say which parallel universe they were communicating from.

“The Whyne’s “ mouth is a study in itself ….I’ve noticed that the lower part of the lips and jaw operate in a vertical fashion very much like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

Prototype Cyberman perhaps? 

A rogues Gallery

 These are very scary people, they will build nothing.

Another Far North candidate for One Nation (read.. little notion) had this to say …

.....with that level of competence we can understand that she really didn’t even know what parallel universe she was still in!

McDonald’s, allegedly purveyors of  “food” have called in a favour from Vic (Tardis State, Where-All-Goes-Backward) Police to remove a protester from the roof of a proposed site for the diabetes inducing clinic. 14 Divvy Vans and 50 Rozza’s for one woman. 
That’s a lot of burgers and fries there, fellows!

Residents of Tecoma don’t want the diabetes inducing clinic opposite a Kindergarten and after Council knocked back the development the Greasy Arches took it off to VCAAT and got their way. 
Another wag has said, ”You have two possible decisions from VCAAT. Pro development and Ultra Pro-Development”!

Who set up VCAAT in this form?  Why our old mate, the Dorian Gray of Tardis State politics Jeff “Bully-Boy” Kennett of course!   
Another Kennett cock-up where the residents of Tecoma are the ones being “Jeffed”

after being served writs and could possibly lose their homes...... all over junk food!

Police Commissioner Lay assures that the 7 month investigation into Liarbril, Geoff Shaw and the alleged rorting of  Shaw's government car allowance is near final. 
Hmmm.... he must have provided lots and lots and lots of burgers and fries.

Pretend Premier, Dennis “Inutilus Rusticus” Napthine is getting all “hairy-chested” over the fate of his $8,000,000, 000.00 tunnel of faint hopes. 
But says “Rabbott” will support his rail proposal. “Rabbott” says, “Bullshit!”

Transurban doesn’t even want to know about it. There is no business case. There are no solid projections on traffic movement. 

Leigh Sales (ABC, 7:30) interviewing technique with Rudd was more like “Push-Polling” with poor manners. Oh, dear……oh dear.

Cheers Possums,… you want fries with that?
