Rupert Murdoch’s servant, Kevin ‘photo shoot’ Rudd, released his government’s HORROR budget yesterday; the overwhelming aspect of that budget is MONUMENTAL D-E-B-T, which may become a ‘compound’ burden for future generations of Australians!
Never have so many political buffoons been caught lying by so few mass media journalists as have Rudd’s troop of clueless ministers. It is simply impossible to disguise a shit sandwich as turkey – the nose gives it away every time and this budget reeks!
Rudd’s Labor party is attempting to excuse their unprecedented spending spree by referring to the ‘possibility’ of a global depression; “if we had taken the opposition approach the recession would have become a global DEPRESSION,” said Lindsay Tanner, the Finance Minister. However, he omitted to mention the extent to which the nation has been plunged into debt; he was forced to acknowledge the issuing of $75 billion in Government Bonds – that’s what is issued when nations are hocked! Tanner also failed to mention that government spending has ballooned the national debt to over $1trillion! Not bad for a population of only 20 million.
Clueless government spending has already placed the nation into a debt level rivaling that of backward, EXPLOITED nations of the Third World!
Rudd’s conservative predecessor left the nation in $630 billion debt; Rudd seems to be attempting to out-spend the former conservative government in record time. It’s a job that Rudd takes to with relish; he dutifully splurged money all over ‘town’ and shackled the nation into crippling long term debt, an outcome that suits FOREIGN Bankers and financiers. Rudd was assured by his advisers that it would win him popularity; nothing else matters to that little narcissist!
Few journalists were willing to pressure government ministers on the exact (national debt) figures and how government intended to repay the staggering amounts borrowed. But that’s not Rudd’s problem he simply takes orders and poses for photos.
Meanwhile his keeper, Rupert Murdoch fares no better; our demented Rupert is labouring under the misapprehension that the public would pay to view internet news sites – dream on! People would flock to the hundreds of FREE news sites instead; but our Rupert has a contingency plan in the form of one Stephen Conroy, who is attempting to gain control of the means of communication, the backbone itself! ‘The Australian,’ expressed it as follows:
“… consumers would be willing to pay 97 per cent of the purchase price of a traditional newspaper for online business content, provided there were no free online products of equal quality on the market.High quality FREE sites will always exist, so Murdoch has once again displayed his inability to comprehend the digital revolution. An ill-educated businessman would do well to research the social consequences of the development of the printing press in Europe. Efforts to gain control over that medium failed! Conroy’s feeble attempts to implement a ‘1984’ internet solution in Oz are also doomed to fail.
For online sport, consumers would be willing to fork out 77 per cent of the purchase price of a traditional paper if there were no free internet equivalents.” [Emphasis added.]
