Australia, for all the wrong reasons

Australia is making international headlines for all the wrong reasons again; Aussies seem to have a penchant for eating their boots. Located in the South Pacific under the rest of the world probably accounts for the difficulty Aussies have adjusting to diverse, cosmopolitan populations.

The ugly, racist, xenophobic, ‘oi, oi, oi,’ parochial ‘stralyans’ in Camden, today refused an application for the construction of an Islamic school in the area. “We don’t want a Muslim school in our area; we don’t want Muslims in ‘stralya,” said one resident. “Not all Muslims are bad it’s the religion that’s bad,” said another Camden inbred genius. Bravo Aussie, let’s do a really good job at showing the world what a bunch of bigoted, racist, morons we really are!

Think about all those Asian and Pacific Island holidays and how the next could be your last, you bunch of screaming, racist idiots. The world will only cop so much crap from xenophobes and bigots before it retaliates.

Try and imagine what it’s like for an eight-year-old kid, who only speaks Australian, to be refused service and told to get out of a shop (owned by a blue-eyed, Aussie bigot). It no doubt made that coward’s day to take it out on a kid – who left the shop crying, wondering what he’d done wrong! Well, kids become angry adults and take their revenge swiftly, invisibly and in their own time – ‘once a jolly swagman’ got a taste of sweet revenge and he was never the same again! There’s a very high price to pay for victimising and scarring kids, Mr Racist Aussie Coward!

The other news gem is typical of Australian incompetence. A man falsely convicted and executed for the rape and murder of a young girl in ‘1922’ has today been pardoned, a little late said the hangman’s ghost! The unfortunate man, who probably didn’t look ‘right,’ was convicted solely on the evidence of hair found on a blanket, which proved not to belong to the murdered girl – fuckin’ brilliant, Aussie, oi, oi, oink!

However, the cherry on the parochial cake involved the Australian Prime Minister himself. It seems the PM is unable to distinguish between porn and Art. After public outcry and the confiscation of some pictures by police, Kevin Rudd, couldn’t wait to label the Art of famed photographer Bill Henson, as “revolting” – Henson’s photographic exhibition featured nude shots of young teens.

Locating the ‘filth’ in the exhibition is a simple matter, as it’s not in the photographs, which all require interpretation by the viewer. Outraged conservatives who wouldn’t know Art if it fucked them up the arse made the original complaint! ‘I love a sunburnt philistine, a land of mindless morons!’

The conservative PM, no doubt hoping to exploit the situation for political gain expressed his thorough contempt for the nude shots; however, it seems his dumbarse reaction has backfired as his much publicised 2020 show pony summit seems to be souring.

ABC television also featured a segment on money tracking and the counter-terrorism efforts of money trackers, AUSTRAC, ta da! The segment had more in common with an advertisement than a current affairs feature. The timing of this segment was most unfortunate as it followed a piece earlier in the week covering the staggering ‘loss’ of $15 billion in Iraq. Pentagon auditors are unable to account for the money. A perfect job for AUSTRAC, whose directors have trouble finding their dicks when taking a piss.

We can save investigators a lot of trouble; Halliburton’s fund transfers should account for most of the missing money – if you were ever wondering who is funding terrorism, think of $15 billion going missing in 5 years, unbelievable but true! It’s hard work dumping that amount; it would no doubt leave a trail a blind man could follow. AUSTRAC should have no trouble tracing the money back to Cheney, Bush and other neo-con criminals.

Oi, oi, oink!
