  Australia re-affirms servility to criminal America posted by barra, 2008-02-22 13:28:13
'This is not the Australia I was raised in,' muttered an old-timer at the bar after catching the latest news bulletin on the AUSMIN talks. Foreign Minister, Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, hailed the talks with the American Secretary of Defence as highly productive. However, analysts and commentators reserve their judgement until all details are made available. (full story)

 Executives defy Rudd’s request for wage restraint posted by cindy calist, 2008-02-14 11:12:15
Executive salaries have skyrocketed in Australian over the past decade of Howard’s rule culminating in salaries in the tens of millions of dollars for Bank and other executives – you know, the people who are responsible for creating the world credit crisis and undermining the economies of the western world! It is clear their salaries are NOT performance related! (full story and 1 comments)

 Apology of a Nation posted by peptide, 2008-02-12 07:30:15
The long overdue admission of wrongs perpetrated against Australia’s indigenous people was finally acknowledged today in the form of a national apology delivered to the Aboriginal people by the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. The RACIST, criminal and socially sick conservative ideology that resulted in thousands of Aboriginal children being forcibly removed from their mothers’ arms has been clearly condemned today by a national act of contrition. History notes the glaring absence of the former conservative, RACIST, Prime Minister, John Howard, from today's ceremony! Let it be a very cold day in hell before Australians entertain the poisonous, conservative ideology again! (full story and 3 comments)

 Anachronistic Nation posted by barra, 2008-02-11 07:03:40
Today the 42nd Australian parliament opened for business; it was notable for its antiquated ceremonial -- not a lot of change since the first colonial parliament in the penal colonies of Australia. (full story)

 Former racist Oz leader refuses to attend Indigenous Reconciliation Ceremony posted by finch, 2008-02-08 07:54:17
Former PM, racist and war criminal John Howard has declined an invitation to attend a reconciliation ceremony designed to address past injustices suffered by the indigenous population of Australia. Howard’s miserable gesture is true to form. Perhaps now investigations into Howard’s involvement in Iraqi war crimes and crimes against humanity should proceed at speed. (full story)

Australian Banks practise Financial Coercion via Penalties and Fees posted by krill, 2008-02-07 11:06:14
In an environment of deregulated, free market capitalism you can’t scream laissez-faire and implement constraining, draconian financial policies on the public, which is exactly what deregulated Australian Banks and other local Financial Institutions are doing! (full story and 2 comments)

 THEY make mistakes WE feel the “pain!” posted by barra, 2008-02-04 18:32:47
“This one will really hurt,” announced the new (inept) Australian PM, referring to the latest Reserve Bank interest rate hike of a quarter of one percent. However, he forgot to qualify his comment – hurt YOU he should have added, because it certainly doesn’t hurt him, other politicians or especially the Bank executives who created the problem in the first instance!

 Rudderless Rudd – we knew it from the start! posted by budgie, 2008-02-03 10:59:09
The clearest indication our new ‘fearless leader,’ Kevin, is a clueless, bereft twerp, came in the form of a plea for ideas on how to run the country! Prior to addressing that disgraceful request our first recommendation to Rudd and his band of bereft eunuchs would be to look up the word GOVERN in any dictionary – for the nation’s sake!

 Keelty’s continuing tenure opens can of incompetent worms posted by dingo, 2008-01-31 10:39:55
The thoroughly incompetent, right-wing, conservative, partisan, ex-Howard lackey, AFP Chief, Mick ‘have another drink’ Keelty, has been timidly denounced by the very timid Queensland PM and the Attorney General for publicly expressing the desire to silence all media reporting of terrorist related cases until such time as the stunningly efficient Keystone AFP have completed their bungling, frame-ups and other manipulations designed to assist former politicians in failed re-election bids – isn’t that right, blind Freddy?

 Keelty has taken ‘leave’ posted by barra, 2008-01-29 06:52:22
Australian Federal Police Commissioner, Mick ‘lost the plot’ Keelty, seems to be suffering short-term memory loss as a result of alcohol and prescription drug abuse. In an extraordinary outburst Keelty slammed the media and others, “who could put two sentences together,” for criticising his handling of various cases and bungling the Dr. Haneef investigation.

Australia Day: a pathetic joke posted by major mitchell, 2008-01-25 21:41:23
A nation that flies a union jack on its flag has no independent identity whatsoever. Other former British colonies have achieved total independence decades past but not cringing Australia. Almost daily we read of yet another race-based bashing; a Chinese born permanent resident kicked to death in Footscray by a bunch of remnant Johnny Howard racist cowards is just par for the course in this retrogressive nation.

It’s confirmed -- Rudd really is a Dud posted by nano, 2008-01-21 10:47:11
We all waited patiently for the new PM to set about IMPROVING conditions for Australians. We waited in vain for a new vision for the nation, a vision incorporating fairer deals for all – remember Rudd’s lying election slogan, “a fair go for all Australians?” To date all we have seen is reticence, fear, INABILITY to govern, no vision for the FUTURE whatsoever – just the same ol’, same ol’ SERVILITY to big money interests. [The same interests that have plunged the world into economic recession and continue to plunder our finite natural resources at an alarming rate!] (full story)

 The Line posted by barra, 2008-01-16 21:41:17
There is a line drawn invisibly in all societies, a line that prudent rulers dare not cross.
When the sheeple, the common herd, the moronic masses wake up to the ‘facts‘ and become aware of the machinations, incompetence and failings of their rulers, the State of play changes dramatically; one can almost taste change in the air. Forget the clichéd slogans, I’m talking about a set of social circumstances that propel certain people into places and into roles they could never have envisioned. (full story)

Rudd, Keelty, Haneef and the Banks posted by Kingfisher, 2008-01-16 07:21:50
Australians remember the Indian doctor victimised by John ‘racist’ Howard and Mick ‘drunken dropkick’ Keelty, for purely political purposes. Today, the Rudd government did not oppose moves by the courts to re-instate Dr. Haneef’s working visa; however, the drunken, incompetent, AFP Chief, Keelty, in an attempt to save whatever is left of his tattered reputation and probably his last gesture of mindlessness prior to entering a clinic for substance abuse – yes, Mick, the whole country knows – continues to doggedly pursue the Indian doctor in view of the fact the UK authorities have indicated that no evidence exists to incriminate Dr. Haneef. Perhaps scheduling Keelty would be the most appropriate course of action the government could take at this stage! (full story)

 Facing the interest rate incline posted by budgie, 2008-01-15 10:23:50
In anticipation of yet another interest rate hike a very brief history of Australia is warranted. This nation was built/developed by THE PEOPLE who enjoyed the fruits of their labour for generations. However, the past few decades have seen successive governments surrender the natural wealth of the nation to Transnationals, globalists and free market ‘rationalists.’ I would never have imagined the day I needed to remind the public what essentially constitutes a nation!
