Lambie to the Slaughter

In for the Chop like Shane is Lambie.

G'day Possums,

 after a five week sojourn trying to think up something that approaches policy The Happy Clapping Liar from the Shire, devotee of Mammon and The Rapture, bogan prime miniature, Scummo has again assembled his motley collection of corruptible mediocrities together in Canberra to see what other havoc they  can bring down on the nation with their collective incompetence and blinkered adherence to  C19th IPA ideology .

Fresh from applauding Potato-Head Dutton's iron will in not being swayed by anything resembling humanity as he continued to torture a Tamil refugee family with their two Australian daughters by incarcerating them in the Christmas Island Concentration Camp after the courts stymied his plan to have them forcibly returned to the place they were escaping from, Scummo announced that forthwith all welfare recipients will be treated as druggies and tested for such and that they will also be forced to use the much maligned Indue Card where 80% of their welfare is retained on the card to be used only at prescribed stores.

Near Tyldon.. 

As a distraction tactic so that our supine nation will not notice the depression we are sliding into, it worked a treat. 

A whole lot better than hyperventilating about dodgy donations in Aldi shopping bags from dodgy Chinese types to dodgy Labor ones; as drawing too much attention to that practice just might end up illuminating some of the Ruling Rabble's own very murky operations.

So successful in fact, that Independent Tasmanian and balance of power Senator, Warrant Officer Lambie marched nay, paraded around in circles spouting her support for both of the patronizing, anti-social and de-humanizing "trials" of the proposed legislations.

After all, she had the info. She had talked to people (supplied it seems, by the financially involved architect of the Indue card venture, Shifty-Twiggy Forrest) and just like the concentration camp performers provided to the Red Cross by the SS during WW2 they were very convincing about what a great thing it was. W/O Lambie then on reflection made one concession: if re-hab facilities are not supplied prior, then it would be, no-go!

Having been thrown a bone earlier on The Apple Isle’s housing debt by Horse-Shite Cormann  (a devious ultra right-winger not even trusted by own party) for passing the Ruling Rabble's tax package W/O Lambie thinks she has the measure of the place and so, is also demanding that CFMMEU union secretary, Biffo Setka stand aside or she'll pass the newest draconian anti union legislation the Ruling Rabble are proposing.

Now, disliking someone on a personal level as “a meat-head” and threatening the introduction of far reaching neo-fascist anti-union legislation as the lever to remove them indicates a political and social intellect of rank quality similar to the Red Terror from the Deep North.

Like-wise, expressing support for the Indue card… something owned and managed by the Ruling Rabble’s country cousins, “The Nationals” is giving effect to privatising welfare and with it, the opportunity to use the unemployed’s taxpayer’s funding for profit and, should we mention it, possibly “donations” back to the benefactor a’la Parakeelia ...not a wise or socially responsible move....seeing as Horse-Shite has admitted that un and under-employment with lower wages is their economic model.

 Besides, when the Rabble treat each other like sharks in a frenzy nothing about them can be trusted.

Speaking of sharks, The Happy Clapping Liar from the Shire, devotee of Mammon and The Rapture, bogan prime miniature, Scummo has named his $250,0000,000.00 upgraded aircraft, “Shark 1”. 

Stooping into banality lower than a used car salesman would and naming it after the football team he follows when a fire-bombing water tanker might have been a more timely and appropriate purchase is perfectly understandable.... particularly when you don’t believe in climate change, but the Rapture instead!

Does it all seem like smoke and mirrors?

How Deep is The Black Hole?

Shane in a Black Hole

G'day Possums,

it's been a couple of weeks of depressing news as we here on Oz are forced to contemplate the policy bereft Ruling Rabble not only stumbling their inept way through the minefield they laid out in expectation of a Labor electoral victory but increasingly doing their faltering best in trashing "Brand Australia" to a saner world's eyes.... the pics this week give architectural equivalence to the prevailing Oz "Kultur" found on a trip to the Fleurieu Peninsular in South Aussie but the landscapes provide what passes for hope for a future.

 Back home from giving another horsy picture book to Betty Windsor and for all the world looking like an over excited bogan school-boy as he did it, the Liar from the Shire, Prime Miniature Happy-Clapper Scummo, Hypocrite in Chief, has had to face up to some unpalatable facts other than his partner's dress sense..

Hindmarsh Island

The Economy which he touted during the election campaign as being strong, stable and growing is doing the opposite and sliding inexorably into recession.

Unemployment is rising in place of "jobs, jobs, jobs". Even with the overly generous at 5.4% stats on which the Ruling Rabble rely some analysts place the figure more realistically at double 10.5%....and the further cutting of penalty rates for 800,000 low paid workers whilst giving yourself a 2% pay increase will surely alleviate the floundering retail sector... wont it?

Carbon emission targets which he said  would ".....be met in a canter..." have also gone in the other direction leaving his irrelevant Energy Minister Angsty Taylor with not only Egg on his face but more problems with his $80,000,000.00 worth of non-existent water and to answer the question...just who besides besties banks in the Cayman's?

Hindmarsh Island 

Providing a possible solution to the water problems was failed real estate entrepreneur and current contemporary manifestation of an Australian Environment minister, Suss Ley who spouted that "...farmers could borrow water from the drought ravaged and cotton drained Murray/Darling River as they need it, as the river and its slowly asphyxiating fish, don't!

How said farmers are to repay on the borrowing was not explained as it was rumoured that Suss was too busy checking mortage rates.

HMAS Perth was not the only one not there to greet three Chinese warships on their milk run into Sydney recently.  It has been dry-docked for two years after an extensive re-fit. Good sailors it seems are awfully hard to impress these days.

The responsible minister at the time, the Pugnacious Payne is now off with foreign affairs and the current excuse for defence minister  Lazy Lindy Reynolds, like most Ruling Rabble apparatchiks when faced with their own incompetence, was "unavailable for comment."

The Chinese, on the other hand, said,  "Ta, for the milk".... and that it was just co-incidental that they arrived unannounced on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.... which never happened!

It is assumed that Mickey The Prince, Pezzullo made the Ruling Rabble's enforcement gang, The Australian Federal Police, an offer they couldn't refuse. So they dropped their investigation into who was named Potato-Head and leaked classified info to the press in order to advantage the Ruling Rabble's electoral chances. Instead, they turned their kinky attentions for seven hours to Ugly American journo Annika Smethurst's home and undies drawer looking for exposed secrets and then to the ABC's Sydney offices. with  a warrant which ominously allowed them to "copy, change, delete or alter" any material they sequestered.

Having not smashed their way in I suppose we can't call it the AFP's  "Kristallnacht" but as the economy falters and the police state grows, an episode like that is probably not too far off.

ABC's Chair, Ita Buttonhole said, "I will fight ..on the beaches...any attempts to muzzle the national broadcaster or interfere with its obligations to the Australian public. Independence is not exercised by degrees. It is absolute." And promptly announced she was going to chat with the other media media players...all two of them, to see what apart from their detestation of the ABC and like the IPA wanting its demise, they had in common.

Feeling safe that the AFP were looking the other way, The Harpy, Cash re-emerged from behind her whiteboard to dementedly squawk, "Jobs mean A.D.A.N.I, Jobs mean A.D.A.N.I.. " a few time before scurrying back to her hairdresser.

And then to show what a united nation we really are, everyone, but everyone spent the week piling into unionist John Setka who allegedly (he denies it)  made heretical comments about the saintly Rosie Batty to add to his list of misdemeanors.

Unfortunately for the mob, Setka is made of sterner stuff than say Sam Dastyari or Emma Husar and is refusing to wilt (as yet) and provide another trophy for the Ruling Rabble's games room.

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane.

PS ....It must be Time to March on Canberra, mustn't it?
