Being Muchly Serially Folau-lated

Shane and Archive

G'day Possums,

It's been a while between drinks.

I can plead busyness which is true but not the whole story... fact is, I'm still feeling quite depressed over the poor showing of Labor at the election and what that result will eventually mean for this seemingly blind and stupid, stupid Folau-lated, "aspirationalized",  and "Murdochritized" nation. It is something I find very difficult to understand, least of all accept.  

But more of being serially Folau-lated, later.

The following blog entries, particularly the first two, will be sufficient to fill-in anyone who hasn't yet heard my yelling from the rooftops about this archival project .

Suffice to say  I'm very pleased to be able to report that all the "selected" negatives from two of the three archives have been individually scanned and are now being Post-Processed.

This PP-ing is a somewhat arduous undertaking as there are some 2200 images to "finish", 515 from the first archive, "Fitzroy" and from "Flemington", only a measly 1700!

Being pleased on finishing the scanning (and that the scanner "held-up" to the task) and calculating that at 3 minutes per scan or the equivalent to 110 hours was relatively quick is one thing but the post process is quite another matter.

Here's a sample: not the full shot, perhaps a third of it in a "before and after" demonstration.

The elimination of the dust and scratches in this sample image would have taken about 35-40 minutes. And  it is a fairly straightforward image with no complicated  textures like knitted leg-warmers or coverings, a good disguising film grain and few variations in tone, so with anywhere between 15 and 60  minutes per image it's going to be a long haul.

Mardi green and Maggie Sietsma,,- ABS 1970(?)

 This image didn't also have what quite a few of these old negatives suffer from which is a mould bloom on the surface which while not impossible to "paint-over" is particularly time consuming  and for efficiency' and longevity's sake necessitates a careful washing and re-scanning  of the neg before finishing.

 

detail

The originals being handled in the moist atmosphere of a darkroom, and probably being re-filed by moist hands, followed by less than optimum archival treatment has, over the years, caused this deterioration.

If anyone has any do's and don't questions about film handling, storage, exposure and development, processing and printing.. just call.... I think I've made every mistake there is to make. 

 

Nina Tompson, ABS 1970(?)

Now at least, being digitally rectified and stored appropriately the archive's future is safer than it has been.... till the technology changes again and dvd's and memory sticks are no longer readable.

Originally intended for books, it has become obvious that so many images will not fit comfortably into the two intended volumes and as there is a narrative playing out when viewed sequentially I've decided to make a film, a'la Ken Burns from the stills to be included with the book's edited images.... but more on that later.

Being Folau-lated #1 The Liar from The Shire, Happy-Clapper Pentacostalist and Anti-Christ, Prime Miniature Scummo again played out his school-boy enthusiasms at the recent G-20, happily greeting the murderous Saudi Prince, Mohommed bin Salman and probably seeking more pointers for dealing with inquisitive journalists for his peculiar crusade on press "freedom" and promotion of his warped IPA version of Democracy. The Bogan of Cook also indicated he would not only be willing to send others to be killed at the behest of the historically hysterical Orange Trump of the Un-United Sates in seeking an Armageddon of biblical proportions in Iran but also wouldn't mind that as a distraction from his Ruling Rabble's now more than obvious economic failures of the past six years.

Being Folau-lated #2  Sneaking from behind Section 18C but pretending to seek resolution to the pig-skin kicker and selective bible quoter, Israel Folau's own goal for being sacked for expressing "his love" at wanting to see LGBTQI's burn in the fires of his mythical hell, The Anti-Christ has ordained that his faux attorney general The Un-Christian Porter create an epistle guaranteeing "Freedom of Religion" much to the hallelujahs and praise-be's from the likes of fascists Senator Ferrari-Mussolina and the pallid boy-fascist Senator Paterson of the IPA and other retarded right wingers, all salivating at making the "right to be a bigot", law.

But given the binary nature of the Ruling Rabble's mode of devious clockwork mind machinations, "You wrong, Me right." ( THUMP), this latest exercise is more likely to Folau-late them in its hecatohedron complexity. I mean if it's fine to be telling people they will go to hell for being AC/DC, what's wrong with female genital mutilation, Sharia Law, Sati, Witch Burning, adulterating water into wine and eating HIS flesh, etc?

I mean how do you legislate for Fox News and the Ugly American's Murdoch's media where the truth goes to die? This isn't what they pretend is Liberalism... it's anarchy.

Being Folau-lated #3   Pyhrrically crowing that Labor hadn't the "balls" to oppose the full disaster of tax cuts passing the senate, and thus not being given the opportunity to beat them up for opposing it, the Rabble are now on their own... after six years of mismanagement.... now all alone in that silent, silent land of fiscal responsibility, climate denial and concentration camp wastefulness without a shred of credibility or a skerrick of policy to cover themselves and none to blame but themselves for the storms coming down on all our heads.

Being Folau-lated #4 Asbestos Bishop and Pyne the Whyne rorting the system...and not forgetting the greed of Taylor, the stupidity of Price  and the abject irrelevance of Ley....  need I say more?  

 How Folau-lated...? Muchly! 

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane. 

The Days are getting Dark and it’s Not Just Winter.

Shane in a Dark Place

G’day Possums,

Bringing Australia into line with Germany 1933, the Ruling Rabble have announced that police at airports can now demand ID's at any time, from anyone, for any reason. When asked ‘”Why?” Truffles tartly replied, “Because they can.” As we don’t have a national ID card this is another fine example of the planning competence from this pathetic rabble: for what do you say to plod when asked? And you say, “I haven’t one” and plod says, “Your driving licence will do” and you reply “I haven’t it on me.” Truffles didn't deny that this announcement was to distract from further unwanted analysis of what is more widely being seen as a “Three-Card-Trick”, budget and that in lieu of a real terrorist “crisis,” a manufactured one would have to suffice.

At the moment, the design and symbol of the requisite armband we shall all be wearing has not been finalised as there are too many variables to take into account.. white, black, brown, yellow, pink, blue etc. (notice… no red) and the arm numbering tattoo system too, is behind schedule. The Zyklon-B based ink being tested is having side effects on the unemployed elderly,  Manus concentration camp refugees and those not yet on the NDIS or New-Start.

Oberst-Gruppen-Fuhrer Potato-Head Dutton has been busy in consultation with Standart-Fuhrer Pezzullo as they seek meetings with the Hugo Boss Company regarding costumes.

Le Jongleur Roskam, Chief Clown of The-Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe still maintains that “...hard work makes you free...” and is fundraising for Cardinal Pell-Pot’s trial defence of historical sexual abuse accusations

Interesting times eh, Petals.

The Gorgon, Downer, The IPA’s Princess of Banality, High Priestess of Rote Cant and dumped executive member from the Vic Ruling Rabble was heard rapturously whining to the hapless residents of Mayo in a General MacArthur moment, "I have returned!"

There has been no announcement as to whether the electorate enjoy being treated as vassals to this hereditary family who  treat Mayo as a personal sinecure but perhaps the last candidate, Sharkie was a breath of fresh air after the odious Briggs … and maybe The Gorgon has a real fight on her hands....

Australia’s Carbon emissions are up across the board except in the renewable sector... oops...Now, where’s that climate policy?

Hungarian, Fictions Frydenberg, minister for environmental destruction, "discovers" that electricity networks have been rorting customers about the real costs of poles and wires and true to form, blames Labor.

Fictions announced that networks and gas pipeline operators would be investigated by the energy watchdog the Australian Energy Regulator for potentially overcharging consumers by $400 million a year to cover their corporate tax bills. But the Ruling Rabble were warned as far back as February 2015 by S A's energy minister Tom Koutsantonis (Labor) and Vic's energy, environment and climate change minister, Lily D'Ambrosio, (Labor) who wrote to Fictions and also to then treasurer Eleventy Hockey about the issue of “...consumers being ripped off by power companies... but they did nothing about the networks' income tax allowance that permitted the overcharging." she said.

But it is still Labor’s fault.

Bad Labor.

Blackmail charges against CFMEU union officials John Setka and Shaun Reardon have, to the chagrin of The Harpy Cash and her doppelganger, Vichy Abetz, been dropped.

In another embarrassment from this failed political stitch-up of the RC into unions, the ruling rabble needed to wheel out Crackers Laundy to publicly lie in saying it had nothing to do with the Ruling Rabble and it was $80,000,000.00 well spent!

Except that The Bankers are causing more grief than Unionists.

Perhaps the Royal Commissioner, Hayden Dyson could be asked to return the millions he Hoovered up, as he has delivered nothing of real value.

I mean, the Ruling Rabble are always banging on how teachers should be paid on results.

Setka and Reardon are not forgiving types and after having them and their families suffer three years of police and political harassment; and with serious doubts as to the legality of some of the “evidence,” The Harpy Cash, (who is currently being very slowly investigated over another botched Union raid) and Vichy Abetz with his then leader, the Onion-munching, Rabid-the-Hun just might rue the day they jointly embarked on this vindictive folly.

Sophie Pit-Bull Mirabella was awarded $175,000.00 for defamation. Which is a trifle short of the 1/2 mill she wanted in her gnawing assault on the local paper who misreported her "push" but who then later apologised (too late) during her 2016 campaign to regain the seat she lost to an independent.

So, Pit-Bull recovers her "good" name?

Nahh!

IPA shill wants prisoners to be put into paid work instead of community service...it was not reported whether this tax-payer funded piece of quality “research” from The-Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe’ Abbadon playpen included analysis of pay scales, conditions of employment, OHand S or that if the prisoners absconded they would be sent to the hulks in Port Phillip Bay.

Another shill, Simon The Simple, Breheny thinks that calling a halt to aggressive land clearing in The Deep North is a bad thing.

Over the past 40 years it has been estimated that 50-65% of clearing of Australia’s native forests has occurred in Queensland with detrimental effects of farming to the Great Barrier Reef and greater difficulty in reducing Green-House emissions. Of course, Simon The Simple is a climate change sceptic so that part of the equation doesn’t bother him so economics and profits in a “free” market are of more tangible importance than the GBR.

Which is why I call him Simon, The Simple.

When Le Jongleur‘s away, the mice will play.

Ooh, look over there... a shiny thing……...coin.

Simple Simon Bermingham, (only a relative to the other by avocation) Minister for Non-Education thinks TAFE’s teach only basket weaving and acupuncture....Yes, he did say that.

Which says more about him than he really wishes people to know.

“The Australian National Audit Office has serious concerns over the economic value of Australia’s of the $89 billion program’s shipbuilding plans in Adelaide and Perth finding that the government failed to provide sufficient risk assessment of the plans, failed to provide a cost-benefit analysis of projects before approval, warns the projects could result in significant cost over-runs and could inflict major reputational damage on the Defence department and in some cases, despite Defence warnings of “extreme” risk in building some of the ships locally with the broad industrial issues that need to be addressed to achieve productive and cost-effective naval construction programs there has been no government decision on how these reforms might be achieved.”

Paraphrased from: The Business Insider

Now, does that sound like the best of management by The Whyning Pyne or the Smashing Payne, to you, Petals?

Oh, what fun!

The ruling rabble in Vic are having a debt and deficit crisis.

Facing election in 12 months they have managed themselves as well as their federal colleagues have with the aforementioned shipbuilding and the overall Australian budget… now tell me that myth again,…. the one about what excellent fiscal managers they are.

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane.

And the Dead Cat Bounced…..with Effie's Banana

G'day Petals,

Wow! What a week it has been, well fortnight really, as I've been distracted making renovations to the burrow.

Prime Miniature Truffles and his ruling rabble began the new parliamentary year on what they thought was a high, confident that their political fortunes were turning as the first poll of the year had them (according to the Ugly American Murdoch's bastion of fake news, The Oz )"surging" by one, yes 1 point, to be only five points behind Labor.  

Truffles extended his lead as preferred PM by another point; all of which proves that if he and his ruling rabble do nothing their popularity is assured.

Bob Brown's Tarkine crew

Unfortunately the Xmas and New Year slumber and fantasy period ended and reality dawned with the announcement by the ABC that they had in their possession two safe-like cabinets which contained thousands of secret cabinet documents involving the current and four previous governments and which had been bought at a second hand office furniture store. 

"How Embarrassment" as Effie was wont to say, but there are four things worth noting in all this. 1/ It seems the documents were a cunningly curated bundle, pulling together future booby traps of information from disparate sources. 2/ The few publicly released, gave positive indications of how the ruling rabble mind really works in cabinet' which is not at all like what they say on the campaign trail.  3/ That the ABC is no Washington Post: meekly handing it all back when ASIO raided them at 13.00 hours, and 4/ The implied competence (or otherwise) of this Ruling Rabble, Mk#2 !

 

NGV Lift

More was to follow with another more serious yet, very under-reported breach of security when a drawer in a desk, again from a second hand furniture salesroom, was discovered to have taped to its back, highly secret defence documents and three security passes!

Isn't it amazing what savage cuts to public service numbers can do to morale, efficiency and stable governance when "the adults are in charge"?

And what a salutary example too of the serious bother many, many people would have been in if the new draconian secrecy laws had been passed.

 

Pigeon, Melbourne

Effie must have been blowing in the ear of the Minister for Defence Industry, Chwissie, the Perfect Prat of a Whining Pyne as well, when he announced that Australia was going into gun running and arms sales. Now, given we can't build our own subs, frigates, tanks, cars and trains, that our NBN under Truffle's innovative leadership in now 65th in the world (down from 25) and our education system is failing,  this alarming policy of helping create more refugees so that we can then incarcerate if they attempt to flee here is obviously a very cunning plan to garner world attention by shooting ourselves in the foot!

Ex Major General, Jimbo Molan, whose reputation rests on shooting people, and newly arrived in the senate said he 's not just a racist because he likes posting far right Brit anti Muslim videos on his fb page… "I'm only drawing out targets to eliminate, Fallujah style, at a latter date. When Dodo Dutton and Roaming Quisling is back from his sabbatical we will all get dressed in our brown shirts and get organised. "  he was unreliably reported to have said.

 

Tarkine simulation, Fed Square

The Ruling Rabble also welcomed turncoat Lucy, Lulu-Flat-Earth, Gichuhi who obviously appreciates the more finely nuanced corruption possibilities available with the ruling rabble and the chance to sparkle amongst such dross.

She had spurned the advances  of Bestiality Bernardi's Far Right-Back-to-the-Middle-Ages-Party where the sparks would have flown very quickly...by making him look like the dumb jock that he is.  Lulu-Flat-Earth is sure to be a hit though, particularly with Dodo Dutton and his current fad for all things African.

A more suitable candidate for Bestiality's saviour circus appeared in the ex Un-Xtian Lobby's  Lying Lyle Shelton whose Neanderthal views more closely accord with the rower of men.

 

And down we go...

Then Effie went the full banana!

Not content with accepting $9,000,000.00 of taxpayers monies whilst not being eligible to sit in parliament, looking particularly drunk in the said parliament, corrupting and aiding the corruption of the Murray Darling water leases, having to think twice of accepting a $40,000.00 "donation," using his "faith" to stand against the SSM debate and causing untold harm to those that wanted marriage equality, voting against the drug Gardisil and using his daughters as salient points, Barnyard Joyce has "arranged" for his new mistress to be moved around government departments and secure a $190,000.00 salary. Oh, and she's  allegedly pregnant to him as well and not her husband of 12 months so he's stuffed his marriage of 24 years, has left home and is shacked up with her in a mates place (he's a developer, so it must be NSW) and rent-free, too when they have a combined income of $600,000.00 p.a.!

Now, what did Sam Dastyari resign for and how was he treated by the press for his couple of grand? 
And let's for a moment, just listen to the Sounds of Silence emanating from the religious righteous like Scummo Morrison and Bestiality and Cap'n Catlic Andrews over Barnyards fornication's. Or the MSM howls about the corruption of the taxpayer spending $3,000,000.00 on security for his "gifted" bolthole.... How embarrassment!

And Barnyard has the temerity to call Willie Shortstuff a hypocrite.

Making ripples.

Let's see Petals, how far the dead cat has bounced at the tomorrow's poll. 

I think it might be terminal time for the ruling rabble.

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane.

NGV Moat

...and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth...

House of Cards

G'day Possums,

The air was being rent with wailing, gnashing of teeth, garments being shredded, ashes thrown and sackcloth worn following the failure of the Lying Lyle's Oz Xtian Lobby "No" campaign against marriage equality when up popped the young grim faced IPA senator, Unterscharfuhrer Paterson with a solution to their woes. Well, as it was apparently written by Lying Lyle, the un-elected senator was really only the delivery boy attempting to foist a set of apartheid-like discrimination acts on the country in an attempt to "improve" and stymie the passage of the marriage equality bill  through parliament. Using the furphy of "religious freedom" Lying Lyle's epistle suggested that flower and cake purveyors, church ministers and civil celebrants be allowed to refuse their services to anyone they thought might be LGBTQI and that parents can take their children out of school and not be taught to use a strap-on. 

This caused such consternation that Chwissie the Whyning-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect, Pyne whom many think is still in his closet, had to deny sending a "like" to a gay porn movie on his Twitter account and Matty, Thug Canavan uncrossed his eyes long enough to chime in with a coal-smoke induced offering that Xtian Rock Groups be included in this discrimination, too.

Poor Thug, he certainly is a blockheaded, Deep Northern hetero with little understanding..... to assume that any Gay would want be seen doing the wedding waltz to Xtian Rock, wholly underestimates their verve and taste.

The postal survey in 5/8 time and at a cost of nearly $100,000,000.00 only proved that the polls of the past years were correct and that the ruling rabble's Little Johnny Howard's malicious mangling of the marriage bill nine years ago was just another example of his nastiness and further; the Catlic right wing rump of the rabble have cost the people more than money, they have cost parliament its integrity.

Not that they care.. their only role is to push their own personal agenda's and those of either the Catlic run IPA or their donors/bribers.

Agendas, which as the survey has amply demonstrated, are so out of kilter with common thought that we may come to see this postal survey folly as the real breach in the dyke of neo-liberalism and its further crumbling to eventual destruction.

Prime Miniature Truffles took the survey result as a personal victory but the hollowness of his reality was betrayed by both his body language and bombast.

The disloyal Bestiality Bernardi was his usual graceless self, intoning that the "Yes" side shouldn't gloat and that a 38% loss wasn't that but a victory and he would win in the end.

Poorlene, Please-Explain, Hanson of the Noe Notion Party whose paucity of affection to all ethnic groups not white, Xtian and stupid is legendary was thoroughly confused with the result.  All those she rails against, Chinese, Muslims, Xtian Arabs, Asians, and Afghanis etc  tended to vote that way she did.

Oh, the irony!

Ex Premier, Christine "Eddies Gel" Keneally has rattled the net in the Bennelong by-election taking ruling rabble dual citizen, Backhander Alexander to deuce in the first week of the campaign. Ruling rabble first serves have started down in the clay but might become ineptly unproductive as their constant chipping on the Obied factor could just draw his over remunerated worker with the shocking memory, Uncle Arfah Sinodinas into the unwanted glare of public view again.

You couldn't make this stuff up, could you?

Pics are from the Nutcracker.

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane

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.

d'Orsay, Paris

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%.

Rouen Reflection

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.

Cluny Museum, Paris

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.

Window, Rouen

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.

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream....."

salacious media

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,

Shane

Delphic Ruminations

Shane in his Budgie Snugglers

G'day petals,

John Clarke, satirist par excellence has died.

Many, were the heartfelt eulogies for this very talented and funny man, with the notable exception of from those of the Ruling Rabble who were too busy farnarkling about in their usual dither to offer just a whimper.

One of my best remembered of his Clarke and Dawe 2 minute dialogues was the one which was not written by them but just a repetition of what Abbott and colleagues had said during the week... outrageously funny and dispiriting at the same time and a true indication the low level of ruling rabble politics.

News Corp Australia sacks most of its photographers and subeditors to cut costs.....

Keer- rist... does that mean the bogans who buy these rags willnow have to learn how to read?

 

Dunolly Cemetary

Noe Notion senator Mal-Addled Roberts is the latest to weigh in after a planned parliamentary to Afghanistan delegation including the Red Terror was scrapped after the trip was flagged on the ABC.

"Their ABC put our digger's lives at risk so as to execute a political hit on Senator Hanson. The ABC have declared Jihad on Aussie diggers. They have a fatwa on Pauline Hanson," Senator Roberts ranted to Facebook on Wednesday.

"The ABC's actions in revealing the ANZAC day visit to diggers shows their willingness to collude with ISIS and other terrorists in identifying Australian targets, including troops.

"The ABC has for a long time been harbingers of terror apologists. This proves their Jihad sympathy."

So the 77 vote One Nation nutter wants the government to cut $600m from the ABC budget because of their 'leftwing bias', and accused SBS of having too much gay and multicultural content.

Which makes so much sense to their limited minds that the only political parties to be criticized are the centre and left ones.  Make sense...particularly if you're a fascist and are not really gay-bashing their newly elevated secretary, Jiggles Ashby !

So apart from banning contact with the ABC and SBS, Mal-Addled has now included Ch 9 ...why, I don't really know or care  but Mal-Addled's decided that Kochie on Ch7 at Sunrise is the place for them.... talk about the Bogan's finding their true level!

Engine room, HMAS Castlemaine

As it is Easter and being a Catlic,  Rabid-the-Hun tilts at windmills once more re-enacting his own resurrection.... says he has a plan, a five point plan to finish the country off.. only to be told by colleagues to, "...piss-off Tony !"

Some speculate that Rabid-the-Hun wants Truffles to lose the next election so that he can say "I-told-ya-so" and regain the leadership of the ruling rabble.

I don't think it will work this time around.... what was painfully obvious and is now more generally understood, is that the Ruling Rabble under Rabid-the-Hun, both as opposition chief scout and more particularly as prime miniature were a disastrous policy free zone, with the exception of the poorly implemented IPA "free-market" thought bubbles.

They have corrupted everything they have touched and can be widely seen as incredibly and wilfully corrupt and incompetent.  He was on his bike.... he should have stayed there.....and which only stimulated Pyne the Whyne, the Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect, to publicly lament his colleagues inability to hold-their-water on the temporary thought bubbles which pass for policy by pissing on them all in his inimitable half-cocked, whining, mincing manner.

So Truffles, attempting to divert attention from Rabid's Delphic utterances of Labor winning the next election, announces that jobs are to be for Australians, reversing a decision cutting red-tape on 457 work visas made only two years ago by the Harpy, Cash.

Like all of his announcements it sank within 24 hours, being seen not only as a xenophobic Trump-like "dog-whistle" to placate the far right voters drifting to Noe Notion but also an admission and of just how incompetent the Ruling Rabble are and providing another demonstration of what a mess they have made of apprenticeships, education and training, migration and employment in just four years.

And the jobs? Well, there's one for every 17 unemployed and soon 250,000 vehicle makers and ancillary workers will be flooding the "Centre-link" Offices as a direct result of the Ruling Rabble's  "free-market" ideology.

This lot are more than "on-the-nose".... they are putrid!

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane
