   Not always morbid or drear -- Oz Political reporting posted by spot, 2009-11-30 21:07:07
Oz politics reduces to a contest between two major parties vying for the ‘privilege’ of knee-walking in Washington! Few nations could care less which lackey leads Australia in shameless servitude to America; however, a good piece deserves broad exposure regardless of its dreary subject. In support and appreciation the Cleaves Editorial Team voted to break their policy-ban on reporting political flea fights; we are therefore pleased to offer our readership an out-of-character piece from the Oz mass media – God forbid, it actually drips with dry humour, sarcasm, and dare I say it, ‘wit,’ all wrapped in a style usually characteristic of the Independent Media! Better watch your step, Ms Crabb, verve and genuine reporting are better left to the Independents! (full story and 3 comments)

The Blue Buffoons of Oz posted by dasha, 2009-11-17 16:51:17
Oz police are on their own when it comes to gross incompetence, cowardice and the inability to use appropriate force. The latest episode highlights the FACT!
Confronting a man attempting self-harm today, our (genius) police opted to take the harm initiative themselves and shoot the man instead – the 35yo man is now in CRITICAL condition in intensive care – BRILLIANT, you fuckin’ MORONS! Never forget, police incompetence starts at the TOP with the (Labor) Minister and the Commissioner. [Update: The man died shortly after being admitted to hospital. Ed] (full story)

 Getting rid of Rudd posted by finn, 2009-11-11 17:59:02
Rupert Murdoch’s Australian Prime Minister, Kevin ‘border security’ Rudd, recently made a failed bid to divert media/public attention away from the complete shambles of his FAILED border security policies by making a surprise visit to disillusioned Aussie troops in occupied Afghanistan! However, media and public attention remained firmly fixed on Rudd and his weak-kneed Foreign Minister’s failed attempts to AVOID RESPONSIBILITY in the Tamil asylum seeker issue! (full story)

 Kevin Rudd, 'pathologically incapable!' posted by leafers, 2009-09-11 08:01:35
According to former “deputy sheriff” PM, John ‘aluminium tubing’ Howard, the current PM, Kevin ‘hair dryer' Rudd, is “pathologically incapable;” a description that few informed Australians could successfully counter! Indeed, Rudd is the champion, talentless, parochial bureaucrat, a genus known for its inability to think for itself and/or make real leadership decisions. (full story and 2 comments)

 Stick to ‘our’ agenda, PUPPET! posted by yarra, 2009-08-14 09:33:20
Certain revealing and thoroughly TRANSPARENT political events should never be allowed to pass without the STRONGEST possible response (baa’aa, moo’oo, braay) from outraged citizens! Some things just can’t be ignored by responsible citizens from any representative democracy – astute readers could end this story right here by challenging the writer to name just ONE “representative democracy” on this corporate ruled planet! But that would lead to a stillborn story, something informative writers could never countenance; so to continue; notwithstanding the point is NOT lost on SOCIALLY AWARE, RATIONAL, THINKING persons.

 [Oz] TASER Police torch Aboriginal victim! posted by pidge, 2009-07-20 22:23:35
The latest incident of INAPPROPRIATE Taser use in Australia follows only weeks after ‘Taser happy’ Police MURDERED a man in Queensland! Not to be outdone by their interstate rivals, WA Police set an Aboriginal man on fire (beat that Queensland) after ‘eager to play with their new toy,’ WA police INAPPROPRIATELY deployed the LETHAL weapon in circumstances that CLEARLY should have prevented its use! The unfortunate man set alight by police was a habitual petrol sniffer and should have been restrained using traditional methods, but we all know what kids and POLICE are like with new LETHAL toys!

Concerned economists propose “People’s Bank” for Oz posted by Kingfisher, 2009-07-07 22:20:20
A report on the Oz ABC today proposing the creation of a People’s Bank and recommending a full inquiry into the PRIVATE Banking sector in Australia is not only OVERDUE it is IMPERATIVE if the nation wishes to discard DEBT SLAVERY and reclaim its DEMOCRACY! (full story)

 Take a good PATHETIC look at yourself, Australia posted by yarra, 2009-07-06 00:08:41
The cowering, CRINGING, cultural imprint that identifies Australia/ns today probably found its genesis in the brow-beaten, downtrodden, ‘subjected’ Anglo convicts forced onto this off-shore continental jail in the very dim past. The ‘free’ administrative officials required to govern and regulate the oppressed convicts and early settlement found solace in their very British identities -- the ruling elite of the time were constantly at pains to identify with the distant Imperial Crown!

Incompetent, COWARDLY, RACIST, Oz police LIE to avoid culpability posted by barra, 2009-06-17 23:29:58

John Faulkner accepts Defence portfolio but is he right man for the job? posted by Kingfisher, 2009-06-04 23:13:08
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? (full story)
