In which nattering 'Ned', the Oz editorialist, meretricious Merritt and a beefing Angus jostle for attention ...


Nothing like a joke to start TGIF, and after honouring Malware's contribution to broadband, what better time to discuss the climate religion* (*Scott Morrison, verbiage patent pending) than now?


The reptiles of Oz are reliable, and so the Gold Coast man was snorting away at the top of a queue ...


That joke about wind blowing me down is right up there, isn't it, considering how many have been blown down by the wind, or about to be blown down ...

Once again the immortal Lloydie strikes again with hurricane force...


But jokes about broadband and coal are just the start of the Malware treats this day ... as finally the brave lad caught the motor car and must now work out what to do with it ...

Can he still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and lead not just the Republic but SSM to ultimate disaster?

Naturally the reptiles put their best minds on the job to decipher the runes, and so the pond must spend an exhausting amount of time in exhaustive coverage of the reptile coverage ... which began with the front page of the tree killer edition ...


Yes, a week before the postal survey is due to be posted, someone realised they needed some rulez, or they might rue the festering campaign ...


It sounds like another republican cart before the horse ...

Meanwhile, the reptiles were delighted to report in the digital edition that the sedate, civilised, reasonable and rational campaign had resulted in an uproar amongst the doctors ...



First the lawyers, now the doctors ... it seems like it was going to be another ripper Malware marvel ...

Naturally nattering "Ned" was at the top of the opinion page to discuss matters. 

Why this very morning the pond heard him described on News 24 as the new Laurie Oakes ... sorry, Laurie, you leave the stage for a nanosecond and the defamation, white-anting and undermining of a grand reputation begins ...



Dodge a bullet?

But the shoot-out hasn't begun ... and despite the temptation for the pond to begin in doddering "Ned" form reminiscing about attending the washed-away grave of Billy the Kid and the tourist trap of Tombstone to see the O.K. Corral, the pond knew it had to press on with "Ned" somehow thinking this was an invaluable victory.

Remarkably for all the reptile flourishes in the presentation, nattering "Ned" was remarkably short. The portentous, pompous humbug didn't have that much to say about this "remarkable victory" ...


And what if the 'no' vote gets up? What then for Malware? Another triumph to match his grand effort with the republic? Broadband? Climate science? Coal?

The meretricious Merritt was on hand to sound an alarm ... though the reptiles dropped him down the page ...


Merritt was inclined to indulge in a little hand-wringing ...


Meanwhile, the Oz editorialist indulged in a little unseemly gloating ... while at the same time, the editorialist completely contradicted nattering "Ned" when he muttered that it was "impracticable" to get a draft bill out in reasonable time ...


What's interesting about this? Well if the Oz editorialist thinks a 'no' vote will solve this contentious question, they're seriously deluded. And if he or she thinks a 'yes' vote will solve this contentious question, apparently they didn't read their own remarks about the way the government has said nothing on key issues ...

As a result, whether intending to or not, the Oz editorialist points out, in forceful terms, that the best argument for the "no" case is being provided by the federal government, and by Malware's singular incompetence - no one knows what is being proposed, so it's easy to say vote "no" or score a pig in a poke ... yes, "thers many a foule pyg in a feyre cloke" runs the argument of fundamentalist Xian ratbags of the Kel Richards kind ...

What's most piquant is when a minister of the federal government argues that the incompetence of the federal government is the best reason to vote 'no' ...



Now the pond has already gone on record with the notion that the beefing Angus is a dropkick of the first Nimmitabel water ... a rolled-gold relic from the better years of rail ...


Now watch as Angus trundles past, steaming away ... arguing forcefully that as we don't have a clue what the government is proposing, the wisest course is to vote 'no' ... oh and won't someone think of the vanishing Xian ...



That was all an Angus brolga dance ... now to get down to the paranoia and conspiracy alert, and an express lack of faith in Malware and the ability of this federal government to legislate ...


So there you have it. Apparently it's completely impossible to trust the current federal government, so it would be wise to vote no. Alternatively, if the yes vote gets up, the likes of Angus can beef on endlessly about the legislation, and do their best to fuck it up ...

Oh it's another singular triumph for Malware, as they rush to work out a few rules and the envelopes due to flow next week, and nobody having a clue what it all means, and an actual minister suggesting that this sort of incompetence should produce a 'no' vote ...

Naturally the Pope was also celebrating, with more papery here ... though it seems singularly optimistic for the Pope to think anything could stop prime Angus from beefing away, no matter how many marriage survey forms might be shoved down his throat ...


And so Malware might yet manage a feat up there with his work on the republic, broadband, climate science and dinkum coal ...

  1. Angus Taylor said: "The owner of Masterpiece Cakes, a Colorado baker, was taken to court and lost his business for declining to bake a cake ..."

    Now I don't know what the words "lost his business" mean to you, but it's a perpetual wonder to me how these people can claim "religious freedom" when all they want to do is subvert their own religion. In this case Taylor wants to 'religiously' disobey the 9th Commandment (Exodus 20:16) - the one that says "You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour".

    Of course, Taylor could claim that in no sense is anybody in the USA his "neighbour" and thus he is religiously free to lie through his teeth about things 'over there', and good luck to him for sticking to his position.

    However, just for the record: "[Jack] Phillips stopped making wedding cakes after the court decision, and the couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, are now celebrating anniversaries instead of nuptials."
    See it here: http://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/14/colorado-gay-wedding-cake-case/

    In short, Masterpiece Cakes is atill alive and trading, and the matter is still before the courts. Well lied, Angus, you have upheld the religious freedom of your kind.

    Though what I really liked was when he said "Parents and schools have been prohibited from controlling their children's ex education ..." [Vishnitz Orthodox Hewish school in London, and Steve Toutloukis in Ontario] and then goes on to say "It's true some of these cases did not depend on the legislation of same-sex marriage ..."

    Lots of "truthful accuracy" in Angus's life.

  2. And if the Oz's editorialist thinks the High Court "kept faith with most Australians' wishes" they are seriously deluded. The High Court has no emotion; no faith and no beliefs. It makes decisions based on the interpretation of laws which, whether well or badly drafted by the government of the day, it must uphold.

    Always thought the Oz editorialist was a wanker. Maybe a group wank?

    1. Isn't the Dogbotherer one of, if not the main, reptile (Australian) editorial writer ? That would sure explain a lot.
