But enough of the enemies of the people abroad ... there's more stories of their sordid work here.
What are the local reptile enemies of the people up to this weekend?
Ah, the enemies of the people are enemies of comrade Bill ... and they want the pond to exercise its imagination, a faculty in limited supply since weird, surreal nightmares took over the world ...
But it seems that imagine we must ...
Don't get the pond wrong.
It's a fair question.
We knew what life was like under the onion muncher ...imagination is no longer required ...
And we know what life is like under Malware ... though imagination does come in handy ...
So we should listen to a woman who organised and dominated one of the most inept governments of recent times, an epic failure which saw her onion munching incompetent voted down by his own kind, long before the voters had the pleasure of doing it, and imagine away?
Probably. It's the Australian way. Losers shuffle off out of power, then rail from the sidelines at their successors ...
Useless dropkicks and enemies of the people like the Bolter get a chance to moan and whine and grizzle incessantly, without a care in the world for the difficulties and complexities of government ...
And so to Peta explaining just how the Malware mob are hopeless, though no doubt somewhere along the line she'll offer herself as advisor ...
It never gets old, does it. The onion muncher came to power in September 2013 and here we are in February 2017, with a number of budgets under the bridge, and yet it's still all the fault of Labor ...
But wait, we still haven't seen what it would be like under Labor. We know what it'll be like under Trump ...
And we have a fair clue what it's like under Malware ...
So what's the bet that petulant Peta will go feral about the windmills yet again?
This is a kind of demonic image for the reptiles that's up there with satanic Islamic fundamentalists ...expect this to be a familiar sight, as opposed to say, the familiar thoughts of climate scientists ...
It was kind of Peta to mention the unsustainable Howard government, while not typing a peep about the unsustainable follies of the onion muncher's government, in which the idea of trinkets and ceremonies came to the fore.
No matter, we all had a ticket to that show ...
Meanwhile, it's on with the job explaining why the big banks are suffering so in their fragile oligopolistic government-mandated and approved cosy clique, and so must have even more taxation benefits thrust down their collective throats ...
Well under the onion muncher and Peta, there were lots of real losers. No doubt under comrade Bill there will be lots of real losers, the banks, big business, and so on and so forth, and it causes the pond to shed real tears ...
Meanwhile, it doesn't occur to prattling Peta that many people find this petulant blame game extremely tedious and tiresome ...
Both sides make promises, and then both sides take care of their mates, and the enemies of the people prattle on ...
For the average punter standing on the sideline, queuing to get into the movie, all that's left are truly strange and astonishing tales of weirdness and woe ... and you can find more such stories via David Rowe here ...
Or perhaps just re-read the Stevenson ...
Rampaging enemy of the people castigates the Australian public:
ReplyDeletePeta: "Australians cannot afford labor and its policies.
But that's precisely what we'll get if the Coalition doesn't get its act together."
In short, the prime Peta reckons we're all too stupid - not just us "Lefties" but all of us - to see that Malcolm's utter disaster won't be quite as bad as Shorten's total disaster. So we all - including her - will get our just deserts when we vote for Bill instead of Mal.
FFS, they are/were pink "batts", not bats.
ReplyDeleteBut onto the meatier substance, may I quote Peta in reference to the Turnbull government?
"Turnbull's government is being weakened by unforced errors and amateur mistakes"
Erm, is that not what every day of Abbott's government offered? And the Orange man-baby in the USA seems to offer similar. Since 2013, Australian government has offered little else than unforced errors and egregious mistakes.
That's the way we roll isn't it?
A genuine and important question, VC. I personally can't recall - despite reading this blog and some others plus the occasional MSM newspaper and watching tv for the entire time - any real and viable acts of government performed either by Abbott or Turnbull. But then, I can barely recall anything of note and moment from either Rudd's or Gillard's terms despite that they both passed a heap of legislation (through a minority dominated Senate, too).
DeleteHowever, picking up on the 'bats' (pink from blood ?) we have Peta saying:
"Labor's mismanagement: overpriced school halls, stimulus cheques to dead people, roof bats that caught fire and cost lives, an NBN that was all talk and no bandwidth..."
which means that she has not one iota of understanding of the purpose of the school halls, stimulus cheques (and not being dead I was happy to get mine) and 'batts'.
Just as well we had both Ken Henry ("Go early, go hard and go households") and the Gang of Four at the time (Rudd, Gillard, Swan, Tanner). According to Joseph Stiglitz "]Australia] alone of 33 advanced economies counted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) did not experience recession in 2009."
Gotta figure that at least wasn't so very much an unforced error and/or an egregious mistake.
'An NBN that was all talk and no bandwidth'? She can't blame Labor mismanagement for that; Malware fucked the NBN over all on his own.
