John Faulkner accepts Defence portfolio but is he right man for the job?
Kingfisher, Thursday, Jun 4 2009, 11:13pm
Perhaps a chance for REAL INDEPENDENT LABOR POLICIES in our dealings with allies or will Faulky adopt the new SERVILE, COWARDLY, LACKEY position made infamous by shameless cowards, John Howard, Kevin Rudd and ‘knee walking’ Stephen Smith (pewk!) It’s not too difficult to be a good ally and avoid being a slave; Bob Hawke once remarked that ‘good friends and allies would at times have different views, priorities, opinions AND policies!' It’s only natural when two INDEPENDENT parties work together. Did you hear that, Howard, you unspeakable, GROVELLING piece of rodent excrement?

Nothing personal Fitzy, but you were sloppy; the idea for a front bencher is not getting caught! We’re gonna miss you, mate. You were so handsome in your blue flak jacket while ‘posing’ as defence minister; a much better presentation than that SERVILE twerp from QLD POSING as a Prime Minister! Every move he makes is dictated to him by US Bankers, Murdoch and Transnational mining companies – that’s democracy in action; representation by MINORITY vested interests. (story and 1 image)

Infantile Nation: Gang Bang vs ‘Professional’ Services
velvet, Friday, May 15 2009, 2:16am
I have been waiting patiently for a commentator, journalist or academic to write a rebuttal to the prurient media frenzy surrounding a top grade Aussie footballer’s sexual misadventures, subsequent SCAPEGOATING and social crucifixion by the ‘dingo ate my baby,’ Oz mass media! However, not unexpectedly, NONE have been forthcoming – not surprising, as sensationalism replaced integrity in Oz journalism decades past! (story and 2 images)

Be careful what you wish for, Kevin Rudd!
peptide, Wednesday, May 13 2009, 11:34am
It wasn’t too long ago a disillusioned Australian nation elected a new leader with the hope the new leader would represent the electorate NOT the elites the previous PM served! However, it soon became apparent the new leader, Kevin 07, was just another servile lackey walking in the subservient footsteps of the previous leader, John Howard. The Australian population was sorely disappointed, to say the least. (story and 1 comment)

After REAL leaders are eliminated/assassinated, enter the PUPPET brigade!
Kingfisher, Sunday, May 3 2009, 11:53am
Have you ever wondered why or how imbeciles, narcissists, psychopaths and assorted LACKEYS make it to positions of national leadership in today’s world? It wasn’t always like it is now. A spate of assassinations – most notably the Kennedys and Martin Luther King, in the 60’s -- saw truly independent thinking and capable leaders eliminated by the same powers that brought you the Gulf of Tonkin ‘incident,’ the attack on the USS Liberty, escalated Vietnam War, Balkanisation, Weapons of Mass Deception, colour coded (branded) revolutions, probably 9/11, definitely the anthrax letters, pre-emptive war, plunder, civilian HOLOCAUSTS, State Terrorism, deprivation of liberty, TORTURE, erosion of civil/democratic liberties, domestic surveillance, economic collapse, Swine (media distraction) Flu, and the list goes on!

Rudd’s Delusional Defence Assessment
nano, Friday, May 1 2009, 1:10pm
We have previously written on the servile, totally one sided relationship, Oz has with the USA – America regards Australia as a convenience and intervenes each time an Oz leader asserts national independence/sovereignty. How dare those damn Aussie fleas interfere with our need for strategic bases and a market to dump sub-standard jet fighters and other superseded military hardware! (story and 3 comments and 1 image)

Murdoch orders Rudd to implement fibre optic to the HOME!
gan, Wednesday, Apr 8 2009, 11:42am
After fumbling Rupert’s last dictate – mandatory internet censorship -- the Oz labour government is embarking on a broadband scheme which puts new meaning in the terms ‘overkill’ and ‘wild spending!’ A forty three (43) BILLION dollar nationwide project to install fibre optic to the home! That is a crazy amount of public money in view of the fact that government is the least qualified organisation to undertake such a project. (story and 3 comments and 2 images)

Fitzy under the whip!
Captain, Wednesday, Mar 25 2009, 11:51pm
Only political fools and the masses believe in conveniences and coincidences, Fitzy; watch your back (Labor and other) daggers are out for you!
While Kevin is conveniently in Washington, Defence Minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, is ‘under the whip’ in more ways than one. The latest attempted compromise relates to the Minister’s relationship with a ‘Chinese business woman;’ we certainly have a wealth of information on that particular genus, especially the tall Asian wonder that hopped from one Telstra executive's bed to another -- accruing vital information as she plied her pussy for the homeland. It was fun watching her jump into jaguars driven by old fart execs and other chauffeur driven vehicles – they just couldn’t resist; too fuckin easy, mate! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

 The Australian ‘Banana’ Tragedy
birdie, Saturday, Mar 14 2009, 11:20pm
This story is a tragedy in progress and is possibly only a minor symptom of a broader social malaise!
The Australian public is fully aware that the great Aussie banana, sold by leading supermarkets tastes like something approximating cardboard! Nevertheless, these pigswill, in-season, bananas sell for high prices ranging between $3.58 to $4.98/kilo – Woolworths and Coles supermarket chains seem to have recently aligned their prices -- an ‘odd coincidence;’ don’t you think? Is there a bloody government regulator out there, anywhere? (story and 1 comment and 1 attached file)

It’s no longer about profit: Oz shows the way!
barra, Thursday, Mar 5 2009, 9:38am
It seems that traditional Oz values, egalitarianism, mutual support, mateship and national identity are not dead after all; notwithstanding that former PM and war criminal, John ‘rodent’ Howard, did everything in his power to eradicate traditional Oz values and replace them with second-rate (now failed) American values of callous exploitation, dog eat dog competitiveness, and citizen/user pays for everything – including the ineptitudes of corporate executives, bankers and Wall St. elites!

Clean feed filtered out
Mitchell Bingemann via liberty, Tuesday, Mar 3 2009, 7:33am
Mandatory information censorship is a suicide pill for any Oz government but none swallowed it more effectively than Rudd's Murdoch controlled Lay-bore government of bereft incompetents. And Stephen Conroy takes 'star' billing as incompetent #1. Peter 'backflip' Garrett whose anti-uranium stance had all the integrity of a chameleon in a paint shop, is ecstatic that Conroy has taken the albatross from around his neck. (story and 2 images)

Oz supermarket chains profiteering in economic crisis
Alan Jones via fleet, Sunday, Feb 1 2009, 7:39pm
The following report is an indictment of the ineffective Rudd government not an expose’ of profiteering, monopolist supermarkets, whose track record of price hiking and unjustified mark-ups is well known.
Why have governments if they are unable to govern, we may well ask? The people can go without many luxury items but no one can go without food! STOP the RIPOFFS NOW!!!
INTERVENTION IS REQUIRED from our pathetic, compliant (to the corporations) politicians -- you reprehensible, vile, UNAUSTRALIAN, servile scum! (story and 2 images)

Update: Internet Censorship Trials in Oz
Kismo, Tuesday, Dec 23 2008, 10:38pm
Communications Minister, Stephen ‘errand boy’ Conroy -- who couldn’t make an accurate decision to save his life -- is the latest Oz politician to adopt feeble American semantic tricks in order to dupe an unwary public. Conroy released new information, at the eleventh hour, that he intends to include filters for P2P and Torrent applications, which are primarily used to download movie and music files!
