...rallying

Shane Rallies, Melbourne 18-5-2014

G'day Possums, its Wombat Droppings.. 

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, .."

and a time to rally. 

And it is worth noting that the confected rallies perpetrated by Alan "Bondi-London Public-Toilet" Jones and "The Ugly American", Murdoch against Carbon Pricing attracted far less an audience...

Anti Budget Rally, Melbourne 18-5-1

Consistent with their standard behaviour the Liarbril rabble currently operating out of Canberra have foisted on the public a budget that breaks about 25 election promises. This budget is a "Coots-With -Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe"(IPA), document with as much humanity as a pawn-shop debt collectors accountant. 
  "a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn,"

Anti Budget Rally, Melbourne 18-5-14

It is a budget primarily designed to destroy Medibank, Tertiary Education, The Environment, the one reasonably balanced Public News Media and Broadcaster in the country the ABC, to emasculate the CSIRO our premier R&D organisation, and to wreck any advancement of Alternative energies in preference for polluting coal and Fracked Gas.
It is as I warned a couple of years ago straight from the IPA's "Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-from-a-Parallel-Universe" handbook.
This secretive, unelected mongrel group are the real ones running the country; the elected Liarbril's are just the office-boys doing their bidding.

Anti Budget Rally, Melbourne 18-5-14

The $80 Billions ripped away from Hospitals and Education will force the States to levy their own taxes or push for an increase in the GST: whichever way it goes it is the double dealing, the sub-text primary agenda from IPA thought bubbles that these Lyng Liarbrils are implementing. Egalitarian Australia has been a myth for years but this is the beginning of the full plutocracy
"a time to weep, and a time to mourn"

as seen and experienced

 "Rabbutt-the-Hun's" defense of the savagery being meted out in this unelected IPA Budget had a curious psycho-sexual tone: "Why would I be exposing myself, why would my colleagues be exposing themselves and ourselves to a world of political pain..." and: "We are not doing this because we are somehow political sadomasochists." 

This, with his contradictory, plainly wrong economic statements: "Money isn't everything, Fran……" that we can't be more efficient in schools? Can't be more efficient in hospitals?"  FRAN KELLY: No, but $80 billion is a lot of efficiency.
 Abbott is going around saying not only that there are no cuts, but that funding is actually increasing!  Well, if that's true, why is he saying that cuts are needed? The cuts are needed, but they never existed, and they were necessary, but aren't happening, even though they don't exist! 
 Why is he saying we have a budget emergency (which is patently untrue) on the one hand and then saying "If Labor doesn't pass our budget in the Senate we'll lose our "Triple A" credit rating", on the other?

"a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.... and a time to hate" 

B.U.M.S. with a Climact.

You get to meet many fun people on a rally, perhaps this is why the colourless, unimaginative, dreary, destructive Liarbril-far-right-tea-party-IPA-"Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe" types would prefer to use a water cannon on us all.



Here we have two creative types, Ms's Hazel Wood and Coral Bleach from the Billionaire United Mining Services or BUMS.

With their Heavy Lifters, Gina and Clive loaded with coal they glizted  their Climact with great panache.
They should be careful though; their outfits were so eye catching and in the taste of  a Peta Credlin that she may well copy them...well at least outwardly.

For more about these two talents and their work:

Then we came across the Ministry of Common Sense which is a "Think-Tank" (although unlike the IPA, has creative imagination) and "Flash-Mob" devoted to whimsical public commentary

find them here:

theministryofcommonsense

one of the other fun things is the Banners...  and their graphics... where the message outweighs the space allocated

"a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up"

or is a sensitive heartfelt request for common sense instead of the anti-social deadness of economic rationalism.

or a chance to make others aware of detainees in The Gulf......

"a time for war, and a time for peace".

... or to make crafty comment on the inadequacies of The Prime Miniature and someone  else expressing the contradictory notions of "faith"and Mammon this arch believer in nothing is confusingly presenting.

and then you see the MOST Svelte supporter of the CFMEU....ever!!!

And then on the return, a band that jollied the marchers along counting its remuneration for the day... oohhh, the irony ..... and the humour.

There we have it; why do 15,000 Melbournians, and some 100's, of thousands of others around Australia bother to get out on the streets to say that the "Rabbutt-The-Hun's", IPA designed budget is a recipe for a plutocracy not a Democracy. There was a palpable determination in the crowd with many expressing a willingness to not take more of this Liarbril rabble's nonsense.

Cheers Petals,
Shane

IPA...all over the Liarbrils

to the Great Australian Circus of Democracy

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Great Australian Circus of Democracy where all have according to the High Sheriff, George “Sneer” Brandis, “The-Right-to-be Bigots” and right-wing thought-bubble-tanks with charity status like “The-Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe” (who really wrote the18C script) are running the country for their unknown and faceless backers and pretend journalists and commentators like “Blot-On-The-Landscape” are free to write and spout whatever they wish.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, you are herewith advised that laughing with intent to infect Parliament is hereby forbidden as is addressing the Speaker Bronwyn “Kerosene-Pompador” Bishop as “Madam Speaker.” Notwithstanding these strictures on behaviour Chwissy “The-Whyne” Pyne, the “Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect” has Royal leave to label anyone he likes ”Potato-Head”, “Sooks” or whatever other grown-up epithet he solely finds amusing and appropriate as discourse.

7News,  Flower and Garden Show Exhibition Building, Melbourne

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, amidst much joyful celebration, the “Red-Tape-Repeal- Day” sideshow kicked off with the momentous proclamation that herewith e-mail shall henceforth be termed email and to much applause from Senator Cory “Bestiality” Bernardi’s paddles clapping together, was the order that Mules and Bullocks will no longer be used for defense….. or any other purpose. Unfortunately the Business Council didn’t see in these cost savings, measures sufficient for their needs and is asking for the repeal of all onerous taxes which impede growth of their personal wealth and that workers penalty rates, minimum pay rates, sick leave and annual leave be abolished to further assist in their primary aim.

Kenny the Dog... whom you really wouldn't like to share a seat with.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, Hear Ye, Hear Ye, a proclamation from Senator Matthius “Horse-Shite” Coorman, (stand-in Clown for Arfur “Spiv” Sinodinas who is trying to explain to an Inquisition matters about excessive re-numeration and unfortunate choice of friends) It is announced that forthwith Financial advisors will only have their own personal financial interest at heart; that there is no need to disclose ongoing commissions and that Medibank Private be sold to build a road…. or something.

Ode to a Chip by Michelle, Shirley and Wilma

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, be upstanding for an announcement by the Duchess of Diplomacy, Julie “Death-Stare” Bishop. It is announced that there is no need for Australia to attend an international enquiry into war crimes in Sri Lanka as there is no possibility that the patrol boats we gave to Sri Lanka could possibly be used to harm human rights. And that no importance is attached to the fact that Sri Lankan Navy personnel are showing admirable free-market spirit in running the biggest of their country’s people smuggling business.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, we, the humble citizens serfs of Bundaboong South welcome you Sir Peter and you Lady Lynne into our town and hovels accepting that it is not fit for the likes of the Great Leader and recent boat arrival 5265617 “Rabbutt-The-Hun” but plead that you as proxy’s for his magnificence, accept our grovelling swearing of fealty to the realm of Abbott, Freedom Sage Timmy “Twat” Wilson and the royal court, the IPA. 

yours  obsequiously
