The Ruling Rabble Come Out to Play "Projections"


G'day Petals,

Prime Miniature du jour, Scummo heralded yesterday with  gospel news that Willie Shortstuff is a liar.

Now, tell us all how you won pre-selection, Scummo... tell us how you "stopped-the-boats", Scummo, tell us how xtian you are Scummo when you cut pensions and penalty rates, how you've never knowingly told a lie (or cut down an apple tree, no doubt)...tell us Scummo how hard you supported Truffles Turnbull...and why he still got rolled: finally, tell us, eh, how confident your ten year plan for tax cuts is going to work.
Shifty?
Much.

Having slipped incosequentially for the first time in six years, in answereing a journalists question but later rectifying it, Willie Shorstuff is now being pilloried by the frenzied MSM falling over themselves to paint a picture of cracks appearing in the campaign and that the wheels are falling off Labor's election bus.
Good grief... what do you call all those scribblers at the Ugly American, Murdoch's  Australian with their desperate beat-ups?
The Ruling Rabble "...are behaving themselves..".? ....must have missed "Thumper" McGrath's juvenile bullying antics on QandA on Monday and Lui's le Chinois' frantic defense of her "outing" or the Cap'n Get-up pantomime by the Ruling Rabble's retarded ones, the Young Libs....or the "Angsty" Taylor's hissy-fit threatening legal action over publication of his very "interesting" connections with the Caymans and water management.
The Rabble's shambles hasn't stopped... it's only changed course!

Ahh, that's it....that's what the Oz scribes do... historical fiction, philosophical fantasy or in Judith Sloane's case, Economic Dribblers.... with apologies to her waterworks.
They mirror the Ruling Rabble they support showing no pleasure in or concepts of innovation.. they are lineal thinkers and dislocated from whatever talents they may have had.. there is no diversity, no passion; there's only conformity.
Look at the postures and gaits of the Rabble ... how and what they think shows in their movement and every time they open their mouths to emit another "on-message" slogan / platitude you become painfully aware of that little, which is in their heads, but are unwilling to truthfully share.
Ozone-Hole Hunt looking for all the world like he's auditioning for the role of Uriah Heep or The Harpy Cash making the manipulative, nasty, insincere Becky Sharp look like a role model to aspire to... this is real theatre of the absurd but unfortunately it's what is passing for governance.
Terrified of organic growth as that requires a combination of imagination, talent and energy... they are never wrong because they actually do nothing.

Too afraid to even discuss complex issues let alone devise policy to address problems they are forever keeping one eye on their business donors and post-political career opportunities than wrestling with real problems that would benefit the nation.
They have disembodied themselves from humanity with their farcical IPA faux intellectualism  and its medieval economic outlook, seeking only to address issues if they will hurt them at the ballot box.  Their mantras of "small government," "cutting red-tape," "the market" and  "privatisation" all mean they have less to do and can't be made accountable.....look at Potato Head's  latest gaffe with Anne Ali, a week after Scummo bleats faux concern for the disabled they are making their surplus on the backs of:  this crass Deep Northern drongo fulminates against his one legged opposition candidate claiming she is using her disability to avoid living in the electorate!

Thank dog for the IPA defending free-speech! How grateful we should all be to have to listen to "alternative" facts and misinformation. Tell us, Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe, in the transparency of free-speech, who foots your bill?
Daniel Wild-One a shill from the Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe, (IPA) in supporting the ruling rabble's insanity of tax cuts to big businesses who don't pay tax (including the banks presently being eviscerated at the RC) opined that the reason they, the banks, should get a tax cut is because it would help halt their present "nefarious practices."
Now, with that logic Danny-Boy has told you all you need to know about the ethical levels at the IPA....and the sort of intelligence you need to become a "research fellow".
But then, his boss Le Jongleur Roskam put on a show as panellist on QandA a few weeks ago ..... and what a display it was ! Preening as he answered questions and settling himself with a little shake of the body and head when finished, to await the rapturous applause expected of such a monumental intellect......but there was none.  Applause or intellect!
Always giving the impression he's "on-the-make," a fawning toady, a parvenu....... or in the vernacular, an arse-licker!
 Then there was the possibly reformed drunk, "Gid-shme-an-other" Rozner crowing about 18C and how good it is that facts are no longer to be taught at university... I mean, the IPA world is such a bizarre construct that should Labor win the election, it be constructed say, on Christmas Island, for them and their 22 parliamentary fellow fascist travellers to go and live in just to see how their fantasy, in reality, would work.... a sort of latter days Lord of the Flies!  Now that would be worth seeing. 
The most important election ever in Oz, Possums...vote wisely for your country's future in 4 weeks time.
Hoo-roo,
Shane.

A Time for Reckoning....



Shane Wombat....Vanitas
Shane Wombat....Vanitas

G'day Possums,
I've been a trifle busy recently and very late with this posting which, in a way is not such a bad thing as it has seen much of the shrapnel from the explosive Tardis-State election result to fall back to earth as well as the smoke and fog of its politicking dissipate enough so that can see more clearly how the landscape has altered and who's left standing.

Not too many of the Ruling Rabble, Petals.

Matty, Thug Guy vacated the leadership and as an indication of how the talent in this cabal is very thin on the ground was replaced by O'Brien, the Vapid. Their primary anointed and Le Jongleur, Roskam's nemesis, Pesutto had had his safe seat kicked out from under him  and Finn, the Pious Lieutenant,  then did a "Henderson" moronically announcing that If the Labor Party and the Greens want to have more women in the Liberal Party, what "... they should have done, is not defeated them," and that, "...it would have been a very good thing if they hadn't run against our women."  
And they still wonder why they lost?
Greendale Landscape in Fog
Greendale Landscape in Fog
Even veteran right-wing spruiker, Morticia Savva was dully quiet on "Insiders," but in trying to explain why the Ruling Rabble really loved women, she seems to have forgotten that the only women Liberals ever spoke for wore twin sets, pearls, hounds-tooth pleated skirts, sensible shoes and blue gingham blouses, with a nice little blue scarf, a pink pullover draped over the shoulders and their "sunnies" propped up on their blonde coifs.
Greendale Landscape in Fog
Greendale Landscape in Fog
Definite smells of panic are emanating from Canberra as real funk sets in and this Ugly American Murdoch's IPA construct, this ruling rabble, this petty-minded, nihilistic right wing cabal of the most untalented dullards ever to soil parliamentary benches are now achieving the dysfunction of which they had falsely accused Labor since 2011. Their adherence to "Tea-Party" Republican political terror tactics has backfired stupendously well as they had neither the imagination nor wit to carry it off successfully. And for all those jumping ship like the "I-could-live-on-$40.00-a-day" Banks gel or the rorting Asbestos Bishop: they are all still tarred with the same damned brush of being the most incompetent, corrupt and damaging neer-do-wells ever to have office in Australia. Good riddance. It will take a generation to remedy the destruction they have wrought.
Greendale Landscape in Fog
Greendale Landscape in Fog

Scummo hastily announces that a "Federal Integrity Commission" is no longer a "fringe issue," but one that doesn't investigate pollies and their staff, which promptly, is howled down by all and sundry. Then Trump-like, says confusingly that the Oz embassy is to have its plaque in Jerusalem but office in Tel Aviv and to show what good guys we really are, we'll return a little of the funding ripped from health and education in the past years and hit the energy market "with-a-big-stick" (made of Balsa wood) to stop their profiteering.... a policy directly at odds with Ruling Rabble capitalism in being willing to ditch their IPA version of "free-market", free enterprise greed, in order to stay alive politically.
Greendale Landscape in Fog
Greendale Landscape in Fog

Fiction's Frydenberg shows he is willing to rip up pristine wetlands for 30 Schekels of donor money... whilst Mummy's-Boy, Canavan praises Adani's "...we'll go it alone" announcement of its Galilee Basin coal mine, as "True Aussie Battlers..."
....what he really meant to say is that he's Adani's Little Aussie Butler!
Then a couple of F-35's arrived... at $25,000.00 per hour to fly and a range of only 1500 Km... we seem to have bought very, very expensive home defence fighters.

Who is going to pay for this corruption, this incompetency and damage?  Who will be brought to book? 
Do we start with The Ugly American or his lieutenants like Roskam ?
I wondered the other day how such a destructive Brit turd like Farage would have fared in the C16th. I doubt his damage to "The Crown" and its peoples because of his Brexit push would allow him to sail off unscathed into the sunset... I rather think that Hang, Drawing and Quartering might have been the order of the day.
There has to be a reckoning.... a severe one.
Hoo-roo, Petals

Nein, Nein, Nein!


G'day Possums,
we're a bit late with this episode as we wanted to wait for the results in the bye-elections.

The supposedly "Knife-edge" seats in the Deep North weren't,  the WA pair, because the Ruling Rabble decided not to turn up were solid Labor and the Downer Duchy of Mayo has again revolted, this time more decisively to retain an independent, causing The Gorgon's daddy, Fishnets-That-Batter to complain that the peasants were very rude because "....they are new to here...." before whisking away in his Maserati.  The Gorgon herself in the best intellectualism of her IPA and Gina Rinehart funded secret society ($4.5 Mill... some charity) announced in defeat that she would put herself forward again as a candidate at next year's general election, proving that when the IPA fall in a hole all they want is to keep on digging.
 
Gina the Munificent... not just a pretty face.
It's a salient point too; the IPA is becoming very much on-the-nose. With Ruling Rabble "policy" having been lifted wholesale from the Le Jongleur Roskam's bible of deceit and more widely being viewed as "policy" not in the country's best interests;  with so many of their apparatchiks perched on the government benches like Quisling Gargoyles waiting to flay more flesh from the body politic, it looks as though the- times-are-a-changing.

And perhaps not.

Nine Entertainment has bought Fairfax newspapers which despite assertions that editorial integrity and fearless reporting will remain its hallmark it's difficult to disagree with ex PM Keating's observation that "...the pus of the Nine carbuncle will eventually seep through..." the Fairfax newsroom. And adding insult to public injury Fifi Fifield, The Ugly American, Murdoch's Communications Toy-Boy and IPA parliamentary representative stated that the merger would actually enhance media diversity.
(IPA logic?  3-2 = 4)
What I think Fifi was getting at was that the consolidation of right-wing media (making Australian media one of the most consolidated in the world) will allow for more diverse right-wing content with only "bit" players like The Saturday Paper and The Guardian to offer a print alternative. The ABC is also a loser in this as they had enjoyed some good joint investigative work with Fairfax and it is unlikely that this will continue and will come under further sustained attack by the commercials. Because forget not, ... FIFI used to work for the most  incompetent Ruling Rabble Treasurer (excepting the current imbecile), Peter Costello who now happens to be Chairman of Nine!
It was an article in The AIMN face-book blog on Italy during the latter stages of WW2 which I think it apt to quote here
Sudanese fighting at MCG

Fascism had reduced [those men] to silence for twenty years, and [those men] explained to us that Fascism was not only a clownish and improvident misrule but the negator of justice; it had not only dragged Italy to an unjust and ill-omened war, but it had arisen and consolidated itself as the custodian of a detestable legality and order, based on the coercion of those who work, on the unchecked profits of those who exploit the labour of others, on the silence imposed on those who think and do not want to be slaves, and on systematic and calculated lies.”  Primo Levi
Sounds familiar doesn't it?

The Last Gasp of the Cornered Beast!



Shane with Monsters

G'day Possums,


It seems the Rabid Right are becoming more and more strident and aggressive.... losing the argument perhaps? They have finally called for the 5 by-elections... nine weeks off... smack bang on the day of the Labor Party tri-ennial conference. Petty, vindictive, high school politics, unfair….. its all been said and its true; this mongrel lot will do anything to achieve their ends.
Hoping to run Labor dry financially and policy-wise and giving themselves time to fully utilise their links with “Cambridge Analytica” and “i360” to target select marginal electorates, there is also the opportunity, if Labor loses a couple of the seats to then call a general election with more confidence.
But on the other hand this ruling rabble is so incompetent, ham-fisted, and blunderingly stupid it could be nine weeks of shooting themselves in the foot, a minimum nine times, too!
And interestingly it looks as though the IPA’s The Gorgon, "I have returned," Downer is going to get a run for her (or rather daddy’s) money as three independents from other states are going across to campaign with her opposition candidate Sharkie….then there’s the Gorgon’s total vacuousness … how is that ever to fill nine weeks of campaigning?
Music for the Gorgon.

What a litany... and what a shambles...QandA (21/5)...THAT Jane Hume... Oi, such smug cant from a deluded woman...soporifically intoning the usual ruling rabble chapter and verse about merit, democratic process and ability in pre-selecting woman for the rabble or rather, not... and seemingly blissfully unaware of just how shallow their talent pool is…. and then The Altar-Boy, Sheridan set to; reprising the catechism of the 50's whilst ignoring the overwhelming supperuration of catholic hypocrites in the ruling rabble......it's Theatre of the Absurd written by Kafka.
ruling rabble policy agenda

Oh, dear... then another distraction for the MSM to get their knickers in a knot about rather than concentrating on a policy bereft and incompetent ruling rabble, a rabble whose corruption is overflowing like an overfull septic tank.

After The TURC probed an alleged series of kickbacks from employers to the AWU in exchange for workplace deals that allegedly sold out low-paid workers, allegedly saved employers millions of dollars and allegedly boosted the political power of Mr Melhem and Mr Shorten RC Dyson, Cadaver Heydon had these matters referred it to the police... who dropped any charges.
So the ruling rabble have now, two years after the event, concocted a civil case.
Shades of “Ute-Gate” and AFP raids on union offices….This time it’s Cesar Melum who’s being investigated.  
'Nuff said.

The Archbishop of Adelaide has been convicted of covering up paedophilia within his wolf-pack and eventually stepped aside. But not understanding “the Act of Contrition” refused to resign. He’s waiting to be sentenced but will probably appeal first.

So they want chaplains in schools... they want 150 metre exclusion zones around their churches, they want to be political players?
Then effing-well, pay taxes! 

....all lined up
The Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority is refusing to release information about staff travel relating to Vikki Floozie Campion, the one-time adviser but full-time shag of ex-deputy prime minister Barnyard Joyce, claiming it could “endanger life”.

A Freedom of Information request by The West Australian newspaper sought a breakdown of staff travel for the offices of Senator Matt, Mummy’s-Boy Canavan and Damian Dum-Dum, Drum, where Ms Campion was “employed” after she was shifted ( typo? Shafted?) from Mr Joyce’s office. The I.P.E.A. refused to release any details of staff in those offices.
claiming that the release of the information would have the consequence of “endangering the life or physical safety” of the staff involved, or individuals associated.
The Westie had sought a breakdown of about $165,000 worth of travel by staff in Mummy-Boys office from April to September 2017 and details of the $27,000 of staff travel conducted by staff in Dum-Dum’s office from July to September 2017.
The silence is quite deafening…..and I haven’t yet seen the mob with pitchforks and scythes banging on the new perimeter bulwark against democracy surrounding parliament house so who’s in danger?



fog

"It’s the country’s most sought-after interview, and a likely ratings bonanza: the rights to the exclusive chat with Barnyard Joyce and his current partner Vikki ,Floozie Campion." breathlessly PR’d Channel 7 who is apparently paying this corrupt ex-minister and his floozie some $170,000.00 for them to explain who the father of the child is, why they cheated on their respective spouses and how much they enjoy fleecing the taxpayer.

Hmmm... the Gutter Press rolling in it's own faeces again!!

The Australian Public Service Commissioner John Lloyd has been quizzed on his email communication with IPA executive director John Roskam for the strongly partisan opinions they contain. It has been revealed Petals, that formal complaints have been made against John Lloyd for breaches of the Public Service Code of Conduct although the specifics of the allegations or who made them remain undisclosed. Le Jongleur Roskam has been uncharacteristically quiet on this...
The silence is quite deafening….. again.

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



Shane in a Dark Place
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.
