Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up…




Shane in King Valley


G’day Possums,

Mrs Wombat and I took a little sojourn to the King Valley so the pics are from there but the dog is for a sculpture so they have nought to do with the content.


Wow, what a fortnight…. the circus is in town!
In topping off his exposition as how his grand project of creating concentration camps for genuine refugees was really a good thing, (as only those who understood knew), the cadaver looking for a corpse, Senator ”Fallujah” Molan positively revelled in his shallow justification of bureaucratic cruelty dressed up as strength on QandA last week.
Around the same time one of the ex Major General’s “finest”, ex SAS captain and now Ruling Rabble member, Handy-Andy Hastie was dumping on his leader Truffles Turdball by telling all and sundry that Chinese born businessman Chau Chak Wing was a threat to our Never-Never Ozland of Pretend Democracy. Handy-Andy, who was investigated and exonerated (cough, cough) for allegedly allowing his troops to sever hands of Afghan dead as trophies (he never inhaled) and who thumbed his nose at the military hierarchy by utilising his uniform in his political advertising may well be suffering a sort of pay-back. It seems a secret report into SAS brutality has been leaked and there are calls for investigations to be widened and also for the findings to be made public. Given Handy-Andy’s exhibited propensity for arrogance this enquiry may have interesting ramifications for his political career.

An implosion of another sort took place too… Noe Notion’s President for Life, The Red Terror, Apoorlin Hamstrung contorted her visage and spat fury at any media she could find after another of her “party” broke ranks and defied her fiats on Ruling Rabble policy. Reprising all the anguish, anger and vileness that historically she is made of The Red Terror presented, perhaps too graphically, a fine illustration of the abject stupidity of some 10-12 % of the electorate. It is interesting to note that Section 44 offender, The Malfunctioning Mal-Addled Roberts famous for his 77 senate votes and marginal grasp of reality has again recently been polluting screens and air-waves with his mindless meanderings and musings almost as if he knew that a dumping was on the cards and that he had “the-sit” for a possible return as scourge of our political life.
Fortunately, a further diminution of the senate’s IQ scale has not, as yet, taken place.

Demonstrating just why the commercial networks hate the ABC, Chunder Seven put on The Barnyard and Floozie pantomime in a serious attempt at exploiting the “couple’s” newly discovered relevance deprivation syndrome.
At $150,000.00, allegedly for the “grey area” sprog’s education, Barnyard and Floozie individually gave evidence to an inept interviewer as to why our political system in such a parlous state.
Barnyard, with no hint of shame, told that he only went into his section44 bye-election “out of spite” knowing that he would lose his Deputy PM position as soon as his affair was known, and that his fellow Hayseed Party members were “..the absolute scum of the earth.”
For her part, the Floozie showed no interest in the dog’s dinner she was making with this Panto and had nought to say as to how much more talent she brought as media adviser to three ministers, or was paid or whether the affair and its travel were at taxpayer expense….although its existence was perhaps a role model for the insinuation advertised against Barnyard’s potential electoral nemesis, that Tony Windsor was “doing-the-rounds!”
She was certain though, that she was the ‘adult” in the room, contradicting Barnyard when he asserted that he was, thus leaving the viewers with the impression that neither were.
Of course there was no mention of his ministerial disasters: the Murray/Darling, the live sheep trade, and the shifting of the Ag Dept, his fortuitous land purchases , his religious hypocrisy, the expense accounts etc... that could all be left to the ABC to explore... to then be criticised as left-leaning!
It is gratifying to report that the Chunder 7 Panto “bombed.”

Then in senate estimates up popped the clown from the south Vichy Abetz who language mangled an attempt to have a DFAT mandarin agree with his assertion that Xtianity is the most persecuted religion on earth. The mandarin treated Vichy with requisite kindness by not pointing out that historically, Vichy’s family “has form” in the religious persecution stakes and that 65% of the population ignoring religion is not a measure of persecution but simply sanity preservation.
It seems that Vichy’s distraction might be either a preemptive “sounding” for the results of the enquiry into religious “freedoms” which will soon be announced or a cover for his colleague The Harpy Cash whom the AFP are taking an interest in but either way, anything this Ruling Rabble indicates an interest in, is doomed!

Playing the Pipe Organ in the back row of this circus were the Neo-Feudalists of The-Coot’s-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe, aka the IPA. Fronted in one instance by the overly loquacious but vacuous, Simon The Simple Breheny and in the other by Bunter Berg, these intellectually pre-adolescent libertarians babbled along in the background that denying donors to university courses selecting their own paths and lecturers, a denial of free speech and that taxing the rich was akin to the oppression of racism.
They did!
Full, as usual, of straw-man arguments, these contraversialists of limited depth have also been banging the drum louder on the selling off of the one serious news source, the ABC.
How do they fit into a democratic state...like Quisling did in Norway!
Hoo-roo petals,

....are we there yet?

G'day Petals,

It's a truism that five minutes into a long car journey children will often ask, "Are we there yet?" And there's an old metaphor saying that if you're making a situation worse you are "...digging a hole for yourself," and that the best way to minimize the problem is to stop digging.


But this is Australia, in which the ruling rabble Mk2 is digging us all into social and economic oblivion.

It has come to light that these genii who tout themselves as the best of economic managers actually fall way short of their myth-making hyperbole.
In 2021 Qatar will make royalties of around $26.6 billion from shipping some 100 million cubic metres of LNG. Australia on the other hand, shipping around the same volume, will receive $800 million. Even after the Henry Tax review of 2010 warned that The resource Rent tax "...fails to collect an appropriate and constant share of rents from... projects"  ...and that... "the uplift rates are over-compensated for..."   Now, let's hear again what fine models of economic management they are.

A new chapter in the race to the bottom has also been seen with Senators MacDonald and O'Sullivan reprising the thuggish, boorish untermenschen roles last performed when the duo attempted to pillory Human Rights Commissioner Gillian Triggs in a past senate enquiry.
This time their victim was Solicitor General, Justin Gleeson who not only had the temerity to disagree with the Ruling Rabble's faux Attorney General, Senator Bookshelves Brandis but also point out to him that he couldn't agree to changes in the law without consultation.
 Gleeson, also objected1/, to Brandis using his earlier opinion – that a particular bill would withstand high court challenge – when the bill had been changed since that time and 2/ , that Bookshelves be the only person who, first, should be asked for permission before anyone sought advice of the Solicitor General.
This is the definitive  Brandis: an oily, slippery, mendacious and dictatorial bully-boy from the Deep North whose overweening ambition is best seen in his scant regard for the national good and his corralling all power to himself.
It's interesting that Brandis is so inept both politically and as Attorney General. He not only keeps getting caught out but in the ensuing fracas of his own making he serves only to further highlight  the unbelievable incompetence of the Ruling Rabble Mk2.

"So, we artists are not “legitimate students.”
Our profession will not “benefit Australia economically”.
You want to “encourage students to study”….by taking away opportunities for the next Hugh Jackman, Jackie Weaver or Tony Sheldon, to name a few?"
Writing in his blog,   AbStar921 – Musical Critic    takes acute aim at un-education minister Flappy-Head Birmingham's proposal that the best way to have an "innovative and agile" nation is to 1st, make Uni fees so high only the wealthy could attend and 2nd to make every course business/work related... so... 
F***k the Arts! 
Taking a leaf from Pastie Paterson's IPA inspired drivel, Flappy-Head exposed his truly Neanderthal lack of cognisance of culture as the basis of civilization because, as he sees it,  there's "no economic benefit in the arts."

I did warn years ago Petals that the Huns were at the Gates.  http://shanewombat.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/viewing-nice-things-and-huns-at-gates.html           
Well, they've well and truly arrived.

And speaking of Holes...ex-Maj. Gen. James Molan architect of the "Turn-Back-The-Boats" policy last week exposed his... right between his ears.
With a truly disturbing Goebbels-like performance, patronisingly batting away or ignoring any dissenting or alternative opinion, Molan claimed that even though he hadn't been there, our refugee concentration camps on Nauru and Manus "....you will find the most extraordinary medical facilities that most Australian towns would give their right arm for.....”  and, "...we are so far ahead of refugee camps throughout the world that it is not funny.
He is one who will never admit his view is not the most considered and correct one. His world view is, it seems, is the only view and one part of his rationale over the Iraq war (and ignoring the false reasoning for going there in the first place,) was that, "there were more Iraqi's alive when I left  because of what I did than there otherwise would have been."
We can only be thankful perhaps that this blinkered vision of aggression was an unsuccessful senate candidate for the ruling rabble in 2016.


It's a pity the Ruling Rabble Mk2  can't concentrate on running the country instead of attacking Conroy's replacement in the senate.. oohh, hang on, they are.... into the ground!

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane
