The Imperial British say, “the King is dead, long live the King;” in Australia we say, “Bernie Banton is dead long live Bernie,” AND the Oz tradition of fair play and the fair go. Commiserations to the family and a heroic tribute to a REAL Aussie fighter – hang your heads you scumbag, murdering, corporate-loving, conservatives! Everyone involved in the disgraceful attempt to shirk responsibility in Bernie’s case should be tried for manslaughter!

Bernie Banton

Take a GOOD LOOK at the REAL AUSTRALIAN SPIRIT so clearly evident in dying Bernie Banton, Mr Rudd, then behold your COWARDICE and FAILURE to hold John Howard and his senior ministers to account for the most heinous crimes against humanity perpetrated this century – will you act or are YOU just another corporate lackey?

Your political ‘victory’ is in vain if Howard is not brought before the courts – does the needless deaths of thousands of innocent children mean anything to YOU Mr Rudd, or are you just another Christian hypocrite? Stand up Mr Rudd and uphold REAL Australian (and Christian) values – values that conservatives view with contempt. Be inspired by brave Bernie Banton!

I would ask all Australians to post Bernie’s picture in every workplace and on every wall where working conditions and wages are deliberated; let his picture remind us never to forfeit our rights to Corporate slave masters and murderers. Never let us forget the heartless, criminal forces that drive Australian conservatives. Post Bernie’s picture HIGH on every Australian wall and never forget the brave Aussie battler who fought for his and OUR rights to the death – never allow his memory to fade.

Long live Bernie Banton and long live real Australian values!

Bernie's State Funeral -- never forget Bernie Banton
