We luvs our local butcher, we really do - the recommended goat has turned into a great curry - and we also love the creative use of language, and the thought of a mincing mignon of Abbott acolytes made the pond's day.

Quick, burn all those who mention the word at the stake! <br /><br />One small problem for Mr Cater: he overlooked the LNP's reference to sustainability in economic and environmental matters.<br /><br />In May of 2013, Mr. Hockey claimed that the Super delay was sustainable and in December of last year, the new treasurer said: “ Returning the budget to sustainable surpluses will not be achieved by piecemeal savings here and there.” <br /><br />In January, 2014, at Davos, the Prime Minister said: “The challenge, everywhere, is to promote sustainable, private-sector growth and employment...”<br /><br />The Tasmanian Times reported Mr. Abbott as saying of logging:<br />' “It's got to be sustainable,” he said.<br />“You can't destroy the asset but I do think the asset is there to be economically appreciated as well as aesthetically appreciated, “ Mr. Abbott told the audience.

Most of the comments on those blogs are absolute disgraceful racist shit. Visit them at peril to your sanity.)<br /><br />But also from the left. Bob Ellis for one, and twitter-crap from journo's who should know better. He's "sold out" apparently.<br /><br />Perhaps DP could explain what leads people to make such hateful comments.<br /><br />I despair, but still hold out some hope that the majority of Australians have a basic level of decency and will not be swayed by either extreme. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-43195418801450359242014-01-28T12:21:00.152+11:002014-01-28T12:21:00.152+11:00Nick is of course also a conservative or right-win...Nick is of course also a conservative or right-wing "catholic". <br />Apparently he cant grock that Rand's benighted hard-edged objectivist "philosophy" with its worship of the "god" of the machine, and the social gospel promoted by the "catholic" church are mutually exclusive. <br />The fundamental communication of the "catholic" social gospel being: It is a profound "sin" to objectify other human beings, because it robs them off their humanity and reduces them to thingness only.<br />The "gospel" according to Rand that Nick is effectively promoting is depicted here:<br />www.theobjectivestandard.com/exploit-the-earth-or-die.asp Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
