G'day Possums,
it's cold again.....
but Canberra is warming up...
Truffles' and Bookshelves'
"Cap-n's Pick" of royal commissioner, Justice Martin, stood down
almost immediately after his elevation because of what he saw as a
"perception of ...a perceived conflict of interest..."
After calls from Willy Shortstuff
that there be at least one or possibly two indigenous people adjudicating the inquiry, "Bookshelves" Brandis announced (with not a Truffle to be
seen at his presser), a female judge, Margaret White (pun not intended) and
ATSI Social Justice Commissioner, Mick Gooda as Martin's "seconds."
Mick's only bias is that he
spouted that the whole NT Government be sacked after the airing of the
videos.... but he hasn't a perceived conflict of interest!
Gillian Triggs, Human Rights
Commissioner has gamely stuck her head above the parapet again suggesting that
the inquiry into indigenous youth detention be widened to cover the whole
of Australia.
"Bookshelves," desperate
to seem relevant and not out of the limelight intoned with what could have been
a twee stamp of the foot, "We, Truffles and I, had already discussed having two commissioners."......so
there.
Triggs' involvement delights the
trolls of the Ugly American Murdoch's, right-wing propaganda sheet, "The
Un-Australian" who are currently running
another "18C" campaign against Triggs. In what looks like a
"fit-up" about racial discrimination, Murdoch's minions are beating
up a long running dispute of limited interest and less consequence with the best of their virulent and malicious prose.
Oh, where's a Freedom Boy when ya
need 'im? Oh, that's right, apart from
probably feeding the "dirt" on Triggs, Timmy "The Twat"
Wilson is now "busy" sucking off the public teat as the Lower House,
Goldstein Member.
The saddest thing about the
response to the widespread endemic racism which has been highlighted again is that the Ruling Rabble
Mk2 have made such a mess of obvious
procedure. They always seem incapable of thinking beyond the limits of
their very narrow ideology and are constantly looking for political advantage
over what would be good policy for the nation.
Newspapers are faltering, Fairfax
announced a $1 Billion asset base write down;
The Guardian's seeking public funding and it's an open secret that The
Ugly American's rags are losing money, hand over fist.
Watching ABC's Lateline,
(1-8-16) the thought occurred when
David Lipson made a flaccid commentary of the shambles Truffle's Ruling
Rabble Mk2 is making of all it touches, that you really can find better
commentary online. There may be more nutters to slalom around but more acute
and independent opinions are available other than the now nobbled ABC or the
MSM's whose eye being firmly on their on their advertising clients revenue, tempers their (ahem), adventurousness.... except for the Ugly American's
rags... who are subsidized in their right-wing rants from other sources.
The MSM's wholesale but misplaced
support for the return of Ruling Rabble Mk2 was a case in point. Voting
which actually mirrored the present polls of Labor 52 to Liarbril 48 indicated
either inability to gauge the public mood or rank political influence. And now,
in some cases, the gushing praise of Truffle's swift response to the indigenous
children's abuse is contradicted by many online commentators whose far more
accurate assessments of his actions and of the innapproriateness of the initial
Royal Commissioner appointment leaves the MSM looking redundant.
There seems to be a coalescence of
thought facilitated by the new technologies which is by-passing the old
top-down, commercial interest, paradigm of the old press.
Ex Anti-Environment Minister
G.Hunt who is now Innovation Minister (this is not a joke) has decided that in this incarnation, the
stripping of climate scientists out of CSIRO should be reversed. This lucid demonstration of the "agility and innovative-ness" "Ozone-Hole" Hunt and the Ruling Rabble Mk2 makes it more of a pity that morale in the CSIRO has been shattered in the long term
resulting from the short-term stupidity of an IPA inspired ideology of
privatisation at all costs. It has forced 1/3 of the many talented, dedicated
and irreplaceable people made redundant to find work overseas and of no
direct benefit to Australia.
If anything, the mauling of the
CSIRO only further spotlights how the sheer incompetence of Ruling Rabble Mk's1 and
2 with their trademark of No/Yes/No/Yes
policy confusion and their limited intelligence and that of those who
advise them, imposes a brake on the nation.
Another of Willy Shortstuff's
ideas, that of having a Royal commission into the banking sector, is getting a
"Claytons" airing with Truffles-in-a-Muddle opting for a Lower House
tete-a-tete with bankers on a regular yearly basis. He hopes the public will
think firm action is being taken over the egregious practices of excessive
credit charges, shonky advice and astronomical executive salaries. Well, not
really: Truffles in his patrician way feels that throwing a small circus for
the plebians because the banks didn't pass on the latest RBA interest downgrade
will keep them occupied enough not to notice that their wages and conditions
have been slashed, health services are out of financial reach, and utility
costs have been allowed to rise to the point where candles and chip-heater hip
baths are making a come-back and that education is only for the very wealthy, or
as Georgina Downer so eloquently put it, for those "...who can afford a NICE school."
All is being eroded to the
point where the majority can actually afford other than a very basic peasant-ish
living.
And now there is Malcolm
"Addled" Roberts; a One Notion candidate elected to the Senate having
received just 77 first preference votes!
Malcolm who give every indication of being very, very addled thinks climate change is a myth devised by
Zionist bankers as a plot to control the populations of the earth and that
governments use GRAMMAR to control the masses...or something. Yep, this
F..*&%%$@#+*$%*@...wit is going to vote for a Royal Commission into the
untruths the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology are making up on Climate
Change. This is the legislative future
of this country? Thank Dog... someone who makes Bestiality
Bernardi and Loopy Leyonhjelm seem sane....What a lovely Senate,
Truffles-in-a-Muddle has devised for us all.
Oo-roo Petals,
Shane.
