More detail, closer to the event.
Wombat Droppings
The chronicle of Australia’s descent from Egalitarianism to
Fascism.
What has become known as “Chopper-gate” is still maintaining
a focus on the dishonesty and fiddling the public purse, which looks to
have become endemic amongst the ruling rabble.
Speaker Bronny Kero-Pompadour Bishop attended another
wedding under the cover of a “secret meeting” with an “undisclosed academic” in
the Deep North.
If this sounds a bit like Two Weddings and a Funeral you
would not be mistaken as the publicity surrounding Bronny’s and other pollies rortings
have wiped another 3 points from the ruling rabble’s poll figures in a week and
many of them are becoming nervous that the prospect of being a “oncer” is
looking ominously possible and their snouts will be removed from the trough.
Deputy Prime Miniature Warren Ploughman Truss it turns out,
spent $21,000.00 on chartered aircraft to fly to a meeting (again in the Deep
North) to tell pensioners to tighten their belts… or “…we’ll all be rooned.”
His explanations as to the unavailability of commercial or RAAF craft sounding
somewhat thin and self-serving.
Then his boss Rabid the Hun, kitted out in his best
“Top-Gun” Cos-play gear probably spent another $12,000.00 for a flight from
Brisbane to Darwin in a RAAF chopper.
Apparently for “a number of official briefings with our
armed forces.”
This unpublicised event also included visiting a Party
Fundraiser for 30-40 attendees.
The deliberate blurring of the lines between official and
unofficial business where the taxpayer is footing the bill for Party-Political
purposes is plainly dishonest. It shows that a disdain for ethical behaviour
can be the only outcome from the pursuit of power and a lack of real
leadership.
When pretend Treasurer, Joe Eleventy Hockey visits his farm
(in the Far North, again) 13 times and claims it as “official business” on top
of paying $270.00 per night living-away-allowance “rent” to his wife for her
home in Canberra you know clearly, things are rotten.
These people are incapable of leadership: they are
compromised, mired in a morass, a deceitful swill of their own making and their
only defence is, “Look over there…it could be quota for more women in
Parliament…” or “How dare Labor steal back a policy we stole from them …”
Labor, playing the game of Lowest-Common-Denominator
looks as if they will maintain the Refugee Concentration Camps that are
disgracing our nation and have also decided not to have a Federal
Independent Commission Against Corruption, a move that many in the community
see as absolutely necessary and well overdue.
The further breakdown of this country is evident in the racist
treatment of Adam Goodes an Indigenous football player who is now routinely
booed by racist opposition crowds. This behaviour has been aided and abetted
by, guess who? All the shock jocks and
right-wing journo’s like Blot-on-the-Landscape, Bolt the Dolt!
One, Toilet-boy Jones even went so far as to ludicrously
claim that Goodes was “playing the victim!”
It’s interesting that amongst these unctuous ravings about
Goodes being a “sook” for shaming a girl in the crowd who called him a black
Ape during a game some 12 months ago nothing is said of those sport “stars” who
have bashed their wives or G/F’s, had adulterous liaisons with team mates
wives, raped, taken drugs, were thugs on the field and generally just been Bogans.
Let’s bash the minorities, the disadvantaged, the poor and
needy… targets that can’t answer back against the power of the Ugly American’s
press.
I said years ago, this is the Age of the Aspirational Bogan
where the Free-Market values of the right wing IPA rule.
Poor fellah, my Country.
Hooroo Possums,
Shane
