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!
In a show of solidarity highly respected fire fighters stripped down to their underwear in Melbourne yesterday and joined workers protesting the removal of an Oz icon brand, and its manufacturing base to China.
In true ‘American style’ executives of this company, Pacific Brands, paid themselves millions in bonuses while workers survived on subsistence wages. The last straw came with the sacking of over 1800 workers after $17 million in government/taxpayer subsidies had been injected into the company in order to maintain local production and jobs!
I do not wish to wax lyrical over this show of solidarity, camaraderie and the re-emergence of the Australian SPIRIT, ‘onya Oz, but I can barely contain myself. Call me sentimental but I detest cringing conservatives and their lack of national identity. I have fond memories wearing my blue worker’s singlet to classes at uni and watching middle class kids also adopt the wearing of the iconic Oz singlet!
In these failed capitalist times every effort must be made to restore national pride and values, as it is these values that forged our great nation – AND FUCK HOWARD and all his cringing conservatives! Have we arrested that lying, little, racist rodent for war crimes yet?
Howard and his government attempted to colonise us to the mass murdering yanks but they (like their American masters) FAILED! The next knock on your door might be me with a warrant for your arrest, Johnny, you despicable, TRAITOROUS, piece of shit!
