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.

Advance Australia, Where?

G'day Petals,

 It's all Wombat Droppings

 or the chronicle of Oz's inexorable descent into fascism. 

The most exquisite demonstration of this Liarbril ruling rabble’s corruption of values was not the extended queue of ministers standing down after appearing at the NSW ICAC hearings: nor was it Rabid the Hun’s move to bunk in with at the AFP HQ or his Mercedes Benz deal or his daughter’s spurious scholarship or his rorting of his parliamentary entitlements to launch his book or even his cycling deals with Big Pharma. All of these acts only indicated his utter unsuitability to be a national leader when demonstrating that he was just a witless, selfish, grasping supplicant.

Neither was it Kero-Bath Bishop’s $5,000.00 chopper ride to a party function at the taxpayers expense nor Asbestos Bishop’s $30,000.00 bill to the public to travel from a party with her current beau from Perth to Canberra.

Perhaps the $600,000.00 fit-out of Hayseed Joyce’s electoral office as part of his $1,300,000.00 entitlement binge rates a place?

But no, the prize has to go to Eleventy Cereal/Toyota-Killer Hockey. The ex real estate agent and most innumerate excuse for a treasurer the country has ever been victim to.  Whilst accepting $1000.00 per week rental assistance for staying in his wife’s Canberra property, this mongrel was telling us we were “leaners” and needed to work harder.

Instead of chasing up the nearly 40% of big businesses who pay no tax, Eleventy cuts the taxation office by 4,400 personnel making it all the more difficult to rectify this rort.

Dumped as treasurer, he gets the sulks, spits the dummy and resigns his seat; quipping (and for once being alarmingly frank) that it was better to resign, than sit on the back-bench plotting revenge.

This pathetic creature has been thrown a bone: Ambassador to Washington. So on top of his very generous superannuation package he will top this up to around $400,000.00 p.a. and probably be as embarrassing over there as he was here. 

St Saveur, Dinan, France

A Close contender was Chicken-Thighs Brough; who has been forced to stand down over his possible criminality in Ashby-gate or the Slippery Pete Affaire.

Admitting in a TV interview that he asked Ashby (Slipper’s staffer) to copy The Speaker, Slipper’s notebook Chicken Thighs, when asked the same question in parliament, gave the opposite answer.

Well, he’s pretty comprehensively established himself publicly as a liar and the Federal Police are now investigating the notebook matter.

It’s worth noting that the word is, even his own side don’t like him much and this shining example of the morality of the ruling rabble will not be able to fulfil his function as arbiter of parliamentary ethics.

I’ll bet you three who read this are thinking I’m making all this up….. Wrong, I’m not that imaginative.

The head cadaver of the Trade Union Royal Commission, the Lickspittle Dyson Heydon sent two union heavies to the police to be charged with something. Police investigate and very, very, very quietly the charges are dropped.

So Big Red Gillard did nothing wrong and Willy Shortstuff also did nothing wrong.

Hmmmm…and some other MAY have done something wrong and they're very naughty 'cause I say so...

Now that was worth $60,000,000.00 wasn’t it?

Pew Carvings St Levan Church, Cornwall.

Medicare is dying the death of 1000 cuts….. one only hopes that the service mechanic of Un-Health minister Flappy-Mouth Ley’s aircraft hasn’t got chronically ill members in his family.

And let’s rub some salt into the wounds of Jamie Bogan Briggs who was also forced to step down as Minister for Cities when it transpired that last November the married father of three was too, too familiar with a junior female staffer at a club in Hong Kong. He said he was “unprofessional”, hmmm…that’s an interesting term to use for bogan, misogynistic, paternalistic, sexist and boorish behaviour isn’t it? But Horse-Shite Cormann and couple of others like the propagandist Chris Kenny have come to his defence saying what a good decent top bloke he is....yeah, right....

But then that doesn’t seem to matter much to the pre-selection panels of this Liarbril Party in putting forward types that are destroying everything that has made Australia a civil society.

Well, there ya go Possums…. What a state the nation’s in but what else can you expect from the rubbish ruling it?

Advance Australia Where?

Bogans all let us lament

That we are full of fear

We’ve privatised all in making wealth

For investors not from here

Our abundant natures gifts are raped

For compensation poor

Oft wrapped in flags of Chinese make

And ranting mindless slogans of hate

In words fully three and sometimes more

Advance Australia Where?

Below our smoggy Southern Cross

All things made wrecked by Rabid whim

And 457’s on the rise

Our future does look grim

We say to those fleeing shock and awe

“We’re bloody full, so fuck right off

Illegal Queue jumpers welcomed here

Only if your Burqa’s doffed”

Still Oz Flagged wrapped in sentiment fake

Advance Australia Where?

Hoo-roo,

Shane
