Smoke and Mirrors with Pea and Thimble

G'day Possums,
A few months ago in a moment of public candour unusual for one of the ruling rabble, Rabid-the-Hun's dominatrix, Peta Credlin cheerfully admitted that "The Carbon Tax" campaign waged by them was just a ploy to make it a indefensible hip-pocket election issue. It was all smoke and mirrors!
And now ten years later this travesty of a government has business bodies literally screaming out for one to gain some certainty on energy policy and the investment landscape and environmentalists are wringing their hands in frustration at the lack of any or real determined action on dealing with climate change.

Not two days later due to extreme weather and the energy regulators incompetence, South Australia endured widespread blackouts as power transmission lines were felled and the regulator, well, didn't. This event caused even more smoke and mirrors as Truffles Turnbull and Fictions Frydenberg attempted to blame alternative energy for the state's problems only for the two of them to be widely seen as more of a hindrance than help, particularly after SA premier to much applause, justifiably tore strips of Fictions at a press conference. So it was a pea and thimble con to the rescue when Truffles announced Snowy Mountain Mc Scheme Mk#2 by ordering a review into a possible $2 billion project to probably start sometime in the future and probably increase the Snowy's electrical output by 50%.

Basking in the warm inner glow of thinking he'd actually done something worthwhile, Truffles this week announced that the ruling rabble's smoke and mirror deception over the Gillard government's Gonski school funding, (remember "Gonski Dumbski" from Chwissie The-Whyning Pyne, and-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect) program was really just another hoax and so has employed the same Gonski to do a Mk#2 review to justify what looks to be a pea and thimble trick by abandoning the most disadvantaged schools in the north of the country, reduce the outrageous overfunding to private schools a little and mildly increase funds to state schools over a ten year period.... yes, ten years of forward estimates when this mongrel lot have increased the debt by 50%. Better dressed than usual but still another shambles of a faux policy from the ruling rabble…pea and thimble, smoke and mirrors, just the normal “Ooh, look at all the money we’re putting back … but not as much as we cut…or in the same place.” And add another distraction from TAFE and tertiary funding cuts where Australia in now amongst the most expensive countrys in the world for tertiary education.

Chaos, thy name is Truffles!
The smoke and mirror sophistry of the "Debt and Deficit Disaster" they promulgated so effectively against the Rudd/ Gillard government has come back to bite them on the bum because, having no coherent policy except IPA thought bubbles and rather more importantly, no financial talent, the ruling rabble have doubled yes, doubled the debt and deficit. This embarrassing lack of riches has had pretend treasurer, Scummo Morrison inform us that there is now something called "good debt and bad debt". In this variation of a pea and thimble trick the confederates to the shyster (who pay no tax) are going to try and make off with $50 billions in tax breaks whilst schools, health and infrastructure go begging!
I reckon Petals, you can see there's a pattern emerging here.

Lurching from his shambles (again, due to injudicious cost cutting) of a national census to the Frankenstein-esque copper NBN (now six months late and counting) which has Australia now dropping in ranking to around 35th in the world for internet speed but near No.1 for retail cost, we had t'other day, the spectacle... well, no the spectacle didn't happen... I'll explain. In the joint commemoration ceremony for the Battle of The Coral Sea, Oz was supposed to drop wreaths from one of its new, you-beaut, Spanish built, Air Warfare Destroyers. Only neither of the two could make it because someone broke them. It seems that not only can we "not-build-a-canoe" but we don't know where to put the correct oil in the asymmetric drives of these vessels.

Barnyard Joyce, deputy prime miniature was on QandA  t' other night. Kee-rist, he's an idiot....thinks Mandy Il Patrone Vanstone is not right wing, the ABC's full of closet communists, then rants one set of specious "facts" after another. And the looks of sheer hate toward fellow panellist Plibersek says much about the crudity of this mongrel's mind. He also maintained that we have "..a moral responsibility..." to have Adani ship coal to India so that the poor can have electricity. But we have none about casting refugees into concentration camps...

 So it's all a left-wing ABC, is it Barnyard?  Try ABC 7.30, 3/5/17: Leigh Hissy-Fit Sale's tart little aside of  when presenting the news that some private schools would have a little of their funding cut was "...something Labor never had the guts to do..." and she eventually followed up with a nauseously obsequious and pointless "interview" with geriatric Sydney shock-jock, John Laws. And let's not mention the right-wing bias of Sabra Spitty Lane who manages to avoid any balance whatsoever on topics and just propagandizes all the ruling rabble cant.That's "Left" is it "Barnyard????
Petals I'm off, to polish some mirrors to see the 100% of the Australian press owned by the Ugly American, Murdoch more clearly.
Hoo-roo,

Pulling the Pin on Baubles of Bodgie Cheer



G'day Possums,
'Tis the Silly Season and the insanity surrounding us is becoming worse.




In the Un-united States a Happy-Clapper nutter (is there any other sort?) has foretold of the Apocalypse happening at the end of the year when Jesus is to return. 
Given that the Anti-Christ seems to have recently arrived early in the fractured States and that Death, Famine, Conquest  and War have been their stock in trade for the past 70 years, I don't think he's much at prophesy... but just in case the nutter is correct, I'd advise Jesus to A/ get a nose job, B/ blonde his hair and C/ bleach his skin a tad as people of Middle Eastern appearance are now less than welcome in Western Democracies and he might well find himself  banged-up in Guantanamo Bay doing a re-education course for having the temerity to think he could ever compete in the god stakes!



Belonging to  the Party of Individualism and Libertarianism, Liarbril, Stephanie Ross (a Pro-Life campaigner ) has announced that there are limits to others freedoms and that women should not be allowed abortions, even in cases of pregnancy through rape ... that the raped women "will-get-over-it-through-the-love-of-the-child".  How this childless young woman knows this apart from "divine conversation" as she prepares to knock off the sitting member of Narracan, is anyone's guess but it is nice to see the Liarbril Party eschewing it's C19th attitudes and returning to its more natural home of C12th medievalism.



With Australia about to lose its AAA credit rating due to the deficit growing eight-fold under the incompetent "stew"ardships of  Eleventy Hockey, Horse-Shite Cormann, Kelly Shadduppa-Ya-Face O' Dwyer and Scummo Morrison  many are asking why there is no longer the "Budget Emergency"?
Well, there is but it's not being reported with the same rabid fervour in the Ugly American Murdoch's media that we saw when Labor were in charge. 
In fact, most attention seems to be on a couple of Labor premiers who are actually "doing things" for their respective states instead of the shambles we see in the ruling rabble at a national level. 
Apart from being the most practiced of liars the ruling rabble's other finely honed skill is the "Look-over-There" diversionary tactic.



With Fictions Frydenberg, Minister for Coal-Mines and Banning Alternative Energy making the mistake the other day of announcing that a Carbon Tax might be looked at again and after copping the ire of Bestiality Bernardi, he looked even more foolish in his pathetically craven retreat when it was announced that a carbon tax would lower electricity bills by some $15 billion over the next ten years and when a Dr Ottaviano from a pioneering wave power company in SA said that because of the climate policy chaos and bumbling from the ruling rabble they would not provide the predictable power available from tides but build their first commercial plant off the coast of Cornwall in England where the policy support for renewables is more solid. 
No wonder this IPA led Australia has become a joke internationally.



Truffles', You-Beaut-3rd- Rate-Copper-Wire-NBN is about to miss it's promised targets of being finished by the end of 2016 and being cheaper than Labor's state-of-the-Art  Fibre model. In fact there is talk that, against the advice of their own expert panel they are going to slug another tax onto regional districts in order to defray costs on this world ranked, 60th in broadband speed.
Ahh... are we seeing examples of how shit rises to the top? 
Liarbrils who constantly spread the myth that they are a low tax party.
People ask what they have done in 5 years other than destroy?
Awww... come on, be fair. They have set remarkable new lows morally, ethically, economically and artistically that would be really difficult for anyone else to emulate other than having Rabid-the-Hun back with Bestiality Bernard or Vichy Abetz as deputy.


Another of Truffles more idiot choices being Michelle Guthrie, who is dismembering and disembowelling the ABC... the other day in response to journalists who wanted to know how they would do "hard" news with all her cuts Guthrie responded that she would have liked the piece on refugee children in the Manus concentration camp to have shown more "... happy children!" ??????

Isn't the Parallel-Universe of the IPA a wonderful place?     Guthrie's Gotta Go! 
And this is not fiction

Hoo-roo Petals,

...on the Slippery Slope

G'day Possums,




When Mr Hockey brought down the 2014 budget, the 2017-18 deficit was forecast to be $2.8 billion. When Mr Morrison delivered the budget last month the budget deficit had blown out to $26b. what went wrong?
....Measures blocked in the senate account for only $4b of the $23b blow-out.
Stephen Koukoulas.

Company profits are down11%
Business investment has fallen 28%
Unemployment is up (real figures estimate at 20%), real per capita incomes have fallen 3%
Growth  is the lowest on record
Government debt is up by $113b
What went wrong?

COMMONWEALTH Bank boss Ian Narev raked in $12.3 million this year or  $260,000.00 per week,  at the same time he held back about $226 a year from a million mortgage customers. The nation’s biggest bank last week handed down a record full-year cash profit


#QandA  22-8-16.   Listening to Brendan O'Neill who "... loves hearing hate speech..."     I realised this mongrel thinker was just a sophist who luxuriates in the noise he makes.... that  right-wing academic Erin Watson-Lynn  was not so much out of her depth but never got into the water... and as for Mitch "NBN Raider" Fifield, nothing was learned about anything except that the "Party-Line" is to be adhered to no matter how stupid it is.
One of the most horrifying elements of the LIarbrils is the cancerous role of the IPA in the ideological stupidity of both  Ruling Rabble's  Mk’s, 1 and 2.
How is it that there is never disclosure and never media questioning  of the Liarbrils during a campaign that it is the agenda of The-Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe that the deluded are really voting for?

It is also a question for Flopsy Frydenberg as to whether it is true as Dr. Michael Borga (ex CSIRO) and Prof. Isaac Santos (NationalScience Centre, Coff’s Harbour) allege that research into CSG emissions is being stalled, stymied and blocked and that one of main reasons for the gutting of the climate change section of CSIRO was the NSW Minerals Council?  All of which also neatly falls into the IPA agenda of selling off CSIRO!
And then one asks. 

Who are these Liarbril mongrels governing for?

 Jeebus ... both O'Dwyer  and The Harpy Cash make a right mess of different  interviews: Drongo O'Dwyer on "Insiders," failing to answer questions on Superannuation or if answering, not to the question put. Always light on detail and always lighter on facts.
The Harpy interviewed on Sky by David Speers,  made a dogs-dinner of trying to explain which parts of  the EBA wanted by the Fire-fighters Union  is causing so much angst amongst the RWNJ's . Screeching her emphatic, over-enunciated  "answers" at Speers, Cash failed miserably to show that she knew anything at all about the EBA or why the Ruling Rabble Mk2 wanted to change the fair work act. 
Both interviews therefore presented the normal Liarbril Kafka-esque, spin-on-the-spot drivel.

Australian Federal Police have raided the Parliamentary offices of Stephen Conroy, opposition shadow minister for Communication. Much like breaching the "sanctuary" of a church, this act which Truffles-In-a-Muddle has denied was his doing (to protect himself from the fact that he has completely stuffed up the NBN)  is the most blatant breach of Parliamentary Privilege  most can ever remember.  It also brings  new meaning to Copper to the House.
That Truffles-in-a-Muddle is not a particularly savvy political operator has become painfully apparent since he assassinated Rabid-the-Hun and these raids have all the hallmarks of political desperation and the clumsy finesse of the Godwin Grech farce of 2009.  Instead of silencing a whistle-blower, Truffles and the NBN co. have highlighted the very mess they wanted covered up: the fact that Truffles' and Rabid's nobbling of the NBN to satisfy The Ugly American, Murdoch is resulting in a 3rd rate service at more expense than the original Labor, Fibre-to-the-Home model. 
It seems too, that few believe Truffles and many like myself, wonder why the AFP seem to act with such alacrity against Labor figures and then effectively "drag-their-feet" in investigating  an admitted criminal like ChickenThighs Brough and his accomplices Ashby and Pyne-the-Whyne. Or why they haven't moved with more speed on known fraudster Kathy Jackson. 
Corrupt?    What other explanation is there?
So what does all this mean?
It means Democracy is being eroded and the supine public are taking little notice....

The ABC is about to take money for its overseas broadcasts thereby weakening its "Public Good," and ultimately leaving itself in a position for this to be extended into normal broadcasts where the argument will then be put by the IPA that it really should be sold.

Welcome to Australia, One Media, One Party Rule, One Police State... hello Fascism

..about a tangled web...

Shane at NBN

G'day Possums'
So with week three of the election campaign about to kick off in what might be a more nasty mode, if week two's fiery end was anything to go by.... Malcon "Truffles" Turdball is losing ground as preferred PM and the polls are slightly favouring Labor.. (except in the Deep North where everything is odd) which is something most people thought impossible just 6 months ago.

And some more pics of the east coast to lighten the load...



"Truffles" has made himself as morally and ethically bankrupt as the "Reclaim Australia" and "Patriot Front" turds by supporting "Dodo" Dutton's appalling "dog-whistle" about the costs of attending to the needs of the refugees incarcerated in the concentration camps of Nauru and Manus Island. What was intended for diverting public attention from the deepening economic crisis the ruling rabble are creating was a deplorably sad and inhumane rant about their levels  of literacy and numeracy and how they will be taking all our jobs AND relying on welfare to boot!  Just another rung down in the pantheon of Liarbril racism, xenophobia and tasteless mongrelism that has afflicted this party since Little Johnnie dis-endorsed Pauline "Please Explain."  Rather than shut her down the Liarbrils eventually took on her attitude and fanned the flames of racist bigotry.

It is being said that this little piece of "theatre-of-cruelty" was a concoction of their election strategist Mark Textor;  a "dead-cat" distraction, perhaps like "ute-gate" in 2010?
Although apparently going down well with the "great-unwashed" and bogan's who listen to the shock jocks, there were many more that found this now normal behaviour from the right, utterly disgusting and repulsive.
May Mr.Textor have all the success his business had in the recent Canadian elections.

Congratulations must go to Richard Marles (even though his stance on refugees is not much better than the Liarbrils) for "keeping-his-cool" under the waspish rantings and interruptions of the shrewish Leigh Sales. In that particular session the ABC's apology for an interviewer, was certainly wearing her tinny IPA/LNP heart on her sleeve for all to see.
Then, the following night, as he is being "interviewed" on 7:30 Report (being ranted at too,  having his answers cut off and at times, interrupted, by both Sales and the robotic "Horse-Shite" Cormann), Sales announces to Tony Burke that the AFP are raiding a Labor staffers home and the offices of Senator Conroy, (Opposition Communication Minister). Apparently looking for NBN documents which had been leaked in February and which Conroy was not allowed to tender in parliament. This was around 7:40pm whilst the "Ferals" were still sitting in their cars waiting for the staffers to return home... film crews were in attendance at this "secret" raid, too.  Hmmmm.... political street theatre?

Truffles maintained he and the ruling rabble knew nothing about the raid. "Bookshelves" Brandis, Plastic Attorney General was keeping a low profile as he genuinely knows nothing but Comms. minister Fifield admitted next day that he knew about it but didn't tell anyone...yeah Possums, right!
AFP also had a "special constable" a staff member from the NBN there to photograph documents from the Labor Party's NBN policy.
It is being said that NBN have secretly re-trialled the Labor original fibre to the home again (which was being deployed before this incompetent mongrel cabal were elected) and have apparently found its implementation far easier and cheaper than Truffles' third rate fibre to the node and copper to the home, mish-mash of slow technologies.

"We wouldn't want the public knowing how badly we've stuffed up this infrastructure, blown the costs out by triple and delivered it late by four years", Communication Minister Fifield wasn't heard to say,  "We've opted instead for Orwellian State sponsored terrorism and see nothing at all inappropriate in playing this card during an election!" "After all" he didn't continue, "Mark T's a genius and Jane will nobble any future enquiry into the truth!"

AFP didn't think that "Kero" Bronnie's  $5000.00 helicopter flight was worth investigating after the public servant, Jane Halton who ("managed" the calumnies of "Rottweiller" Reith's "Children Overboard") told them there was "nothing-to-see-here"....and they didn't worry after The Defence White Paper was leaked to Liarbril favoured news sources either....and we are still waiting for them to investigate Kathy Jackson's alleged misappropriation of millions in union funds with her squeeze Michael Lawler, as well as Mal "Chicken Legs" Brough who admitted on TV, asking Ashby to copy Slippery Pete's diary (a criminal offence) as well as Chwissie "the Whyne" Pyne's involvement is the Slipper affair.

Strange, that for a "hands-off", "independent" and "non-political"  force  The Australian Feral Police (aka "the  plastics") seems only to see wrong on the left of politics!

We await, with interest, the announcement of Kristallnacht in the next few days.

Meanwhile, jokes like, "NBN leaks will at least bring a copper to your door"  and "I node nuffink guv", etc, abound.

But it's becoming alarmingly like a police state to laugh too much.

Agriculture Minister, "Barnyard" Joyce has urged dairy farmers to go to the competition watchdog ACCC with concerns over recent milk price cuts. He can't do anything as he's only the agriculture minister and believes in the free-market system....which is why when he came back from China and the "Free-Trade-Deals" told them to ramp up production and make gazillions. Pity that the Chinese have pulled the pin on that!

Don't those who vote "National" realize they are supporting the system that is cruelling their futures?
Are they as thick as their cattle?

I said more than three years ago before these mongrels were elected that A/ they had no policy framework, except the IPA wish list, B/ they were liars and were, C/ incompetent.. all of which, sadly, has been shown, time and again, to be accurate.
The deficit has doubled (but there's no "budget emergency" now), unemployment has increased for full-time work and our trade figures are appalling. Manufacturing and the Arts have been gutted, Medicare is under the most severe threat, wages are down, conditions are actually being eroded and education from primary to tertiary is being bowdlerised back to the C19th. Egalitarianism has been submerged under the deadliness of selfish "Aspiration" with the subsequent corruption of political life. Donations from foreign countries, particularly China;  from dodgy lawyers and developers are growing each year and placing our democracy in a parlous state.

White trash of Asia... we've nearly arrived.

It now remains to be seen during week three what Textor concocted "confection of a disaster" will befall Labour on Wednesday or Thursday of the week and reach full crescendo in the rancid week-end rags of the "Ugly American" Murdoch.  Which of the seeds already planted will be further harvested and embellished?  

Although petals, I have a sneaking suspicion that the stench of funk and the fear of oblivion is permeating the Liarbril's tatty ranks. They may well become more extreme and socially divisive but as they alienate increasing numbers of the moderate electorate they will Saturn-like in their panic, turn on and devour each other....after all, destruction is really what they're best at!

All is not quite lost, just yet.

Hoo-roo petals,

Shane.
