..and it's only January

Shane in the Sun

G’day Possums,

In another blow to the democratic process it has become known that both the recently resigned technology writer for the ABC, Nick Ross and “Lateline” presenter Emma Albirici were effectively gagged from criticizing Malcon Turdball-fop’s outdated, overtime and cobbled together NBN technology’s as a too expensive mess. 

Apparently anytime Turdball-Fop appeared on "QandA" critical questions both from the audience and online about the NBN have been vetted.

What's that you say about the "Left-Wing" bias at the ABC? And to see why Ross and Alberici were muzzled ......  http://www.abc.net.au/technology/articles/2013/02/21/3695094.htm

The cost to the nation not just in monetary terms but of progress in health and education just to appease the wishes of “The Ugly American” Murdoch is another disgraceful indication that this ruling rabble are really just the puppets of vested interests. 

 It almost as disgraceful that Turdball-Fop has interests in 2 overseas companies who are rolling out systems similar the Labor plan he has dismantled.
This is the act of a Quisling.

Public education has been gutted of $600,000,000.00 and this innovation pretender is cutting alternative technologies back…but it’s a great time to be a millionaire!

Sussan “Flappy-Mouth” Ley Minister for Un-Health has decided that if you have cancer, diabetes, kidney problems or anything else, you will have to pay for any pathology tests you may require. In another demonstration of her unsuitability, (she is Sports Minister as well) as a human, “Flappy-Mouth” criticized Labor for instigating the investigation into the doping scandal at Essendon Football club which has resulted in 34 players being banned from playing for twelve months. Like many of the ruling rabble, ethics is not something she is familiar with.

Stench is bubbling to the surface with the TPP, too. It appears, as details slowly emerge, that “Reboxetine” Robb has dudded the nation; but then he is a Liarbril so what else do you expect?

There will be far fewer jobs than have been touted and it is expected that a 0.02% growth in the economy will result. Allied with Investor Trade Dispute Mechanisms the country will be stuffed.

Uncle Otto’s boy, Eric “Vichy” Abetz and Kevin “Medieval” Andrews are stirring the war pot to make themselves look brave and patriotic….but not relevant.

“Barnyard” Joyce has announced he’s ready for the leadership of the Notional’s. I’m not sure why he wants us all to return to an agrarian feudal system run by 457 visa workers on $2.00 per hour when Turdball-Fop is busy implementing Rabid-the-Hun’s IPA directives to replicate early C19th social, medical and industrial practices but many laughed at his ambition.... but not at the $1,300,000.00 he spent in "entitlements"!

Speaking of Rabid… he still thinks he’s go some clout and has offered Mr Peta “Bloody Idiot” Credlin  (Brian Loughnane) as a candidate for Ambassador to the Vatican… perhaps this is a way to hide him from the fallout that is bound to happen when thuggish ex campaign director Damien “Light-Fingers” Mantach hits court to defend himself from the allegation that he ripped-off the Liarbril Party in two states to the tune of nearly $2,000,000.00?

Mr Credlin would be able to keep another hiding there, Cardinal “The Graceless” Pell company or perhaps help him with his tours around the place as he is too unwell to return to Australia to face the RC in child abuse.

Sort of makes Thommo’s $6,000.00 fraud look trite!

And then we will have the pleasure of waiting to see how that Liarbril doyen of the Union movement, Kathy Jackson and her dubious B/F fare over the $2,500,000.00 she is alleged to have filched…..

And it’s only January!

Hoor-roo Petals,

Shane

..as the Sharks circle

The Sharks are circling

G’day Possums,

And… just when you thought it safe to go back in the water this IPA led loopy rabble are having another attempt at destroying one of the most effective and affordable health systems in the world.

That this obscene, mongrel lot are determined to make Australia a fully “Free-Market” Gulag is now beyond all doubt. 
Their first 500 Days has seemed like 500 years....

Troubling times ahead, Petals.

But first some more Ballet stuff...

Ballet Theatre Australia, 2014 Performance

Wombat Droppings

....or the chronicle of Australia's inexorable slide into Fascism.

A new report finds exploration by coal and energy companies is subsidised by Australian taxpayers by as much as $US3.5 billion ($4 billion) every year in the form of direct spending and tax breaks…..

…..but we have to pay more to see the Doctor

$45 billion a year just on superannuation tax breaks. Who gets the bulk of that? The wealthy. (And it certainly makes the $7.5 billion spent on Newstart look paltry in comparison)….

But we can’t afford Medicare.

Medicare, will this year cost us $20 billion

$18 billion in lost revenue over the next four years from the abolition of the ‘mining tax’,        $1.6 billion of that was “purely a gift from Mr Abbott to the miners”.                                Scrapping the mining tax cost us $5.3 billion and who gets that? It will go mainly to the biggest mining companies:

Then there’s the $2.4 billion a year the government gives back to property investors

But we can’t afford a Public Health system  ….….because Joe “Cereal-Toyota-Killer” Hockey thinks that we will soon all live to be 150 and how can we pay for that?

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/joe-hockey-raises-prospect-of-australians-living-until-150-to-justify-budget-cuts-20150119-12t3m1.html

That Hockey is the country’s Treasurer is more than a little perturbing.

Free Speech Is Brandised  again with Mandy ”Il Patrone” Vanstone lauding the efforts of “Blot-on-the-Landscape” Bolt and “Bookshelves-for-Bogon-Bigots” Brandis to repeal 18C and lower everyone’s public speaking standards to the levels of that of the Liarbril Party.

Apropos this; John Lord (AIM) asked,
“Why is it then that the likes of Abbott, Bolt, Jones, Brandis,  Bernardi and others need to go beyond common decency, and defend others who cannot express themselves without degenerating into hate speech?”

The answer is simple really. 

Because hate is all they have.

They are cruel because they lack courage.

They are not progressive as that implies creative thinking.

They are not builders as that implies constructive thought.

And they are not Democrats as that implies an acceptance of others.

They hate, destroy and wreck because they are limited in real intelligence and talent and jealously despise those with that humanity.

They do not understand the complexity of humanity, hence their world is reduced to slogans and pre-pubescent “Libertarianism.”

Timmy “Twat-$7,500.00-Freedom-Man” Wilson says he is going to “….advance the Government’s freedom agenda…”

I wonder where he found it?

Ohh, that right, it was in the “How to Govern” handbook written by the “Coot’s-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe” (aka IPA), Timmy's old employer.

Then there was this nice essay on Class….

Rabid-the-Hun

And then this on how this shambolic Government has made Oz at 44^th in the world rankings for internet speeds. The mess they have made with the NBN is not only going to cost Australia intellectually and productively but also financially when it has to be upgraded at huge cost in 10 years time. That these mongrels did this to satisfy The Ugly American, “Phone-Hacker” Murdoch’s interests rather than further the capacity of the nation speaks worlds of their real but small-minded agenda.

Not a pretty picture is it?

I'll leave the last word to Samuel Clemens

Hoo-roo, Possums,
Shane.
