Murdoch’s man: Oz PM, Kevin Rudd, hand picked for the job!

Few remember the fateful lunch in New York that sealed the fate of a nation for three years.

When Rupert Murdoch and Kevin Rudd, now Prime Minister of Australia, emerged from a New York restaurant Murdoch responded to a reporter’s question with, “I think Kevin Rudd would make a good Prime Minister.” However, the crucial follow-up question was not asked, FOR WHOM, because conditions for the population are worse now than under the previous Howard government?

Bereft Rudd

After almost a year in office Rudd and his no-hoper government have done ‘sweet fuck all’ in the SUBSTANCE department! Lots of media tricks, PR strategies, tinsel and endless photo ops with Cate Blanchett and other notables BUT no DECISIVE REMEDIAL ACTION! The ‘non-event, do nothing,’ Prime Minister has surrendered the management of the nation to the CORPORATE SECTOR and bureaucrats.

The result of non-intervention where intervention is clearly required is soaring inflation, and skyrocketing prices for food, fuel and other essentials! Good one Kev, you gutless, waste of time! Rudd claimed he would control prices if he became PM – well, we’re all waiting, ‘Kevin-07’, you walking national tragedy!

But it’s not all bad news, the Corporate sector is plundering the nation for all its worth – hundreds of billions per year extracted from OUR finite resources with no regulation or thought for tomorrow – what happens when the gang rape of the nation is over, Kevin? Hundreds of billions every year over the past decade and a population of only 21 million is suffering hardship – primary school kids are able to apply basic maths to this problem, Kevin. Those who benefit most from the nation are required to return most to the nation; cures a multitude of problems INCLUDING INFLATION, as the driving forces of inflation would soon tire of their profits being utilised to compensate for inflationary pressures.

Perhaps in anticipation of the above scenario or as a lab-test for the capitalist world, the financial sector has ordered Rudd to introduce ‘carbon trading’ to Australia in order to “COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE.”

The first stages of a media campaign in support of the greatest con of the century have commenced in earnest. The first guilt inducing, scare mongering ads have hit Australian TV screens – ‘everyone knows’ we must ‘all pitch in’ to save the nation!

However, Siberian, Canadian and northern permafrost regions are THAWING at alarming speed and releasing huge amounts of METHANE and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; amounts guaranteed to neutralise any effect ‘carbon trading’ MAY have on the climate.

We should not forget that a commercial ‘solution’ to a non-commercial problem benefits only the BANKS and the FINANCIAL SECTOR. The largest polluters are to receive government subsidies/assistance but cost increases for energy etc, will be borne by an already financially stressed public! Our fearless leader has already stressed that implementation of the trading SCHEME comes at a price. But he omitted to mention the windfall for the banks, can’t understand it!

The Australian public should derive much entertainment viewing the very transparent ads over the next few weeks – a little attention to the very thin sell is sure to entertain and enlighten. The last dead horse the Oz public bought was Howard’s LIE that led us into a number of Central Asian wars.

Have fun with Rudd!

[We would mention the author is not a climate change sceptic/denier; he is a realist who has studied the subject. Do a little research on methane releases in the northern frigid zones and Rudd’s ‘scheme’ becomes as transparent as glass. The proper course is to PREPARE for the inevitable change to come, NOT make more money for the Banks! Ed.]
