Phew!!, sure as shit glad I had Crimsafe put on all my windows, after the federal budget shitting on the support of the unemployed, i’m going need it with the soaring crime rates that are coming.
I do however have a business tip for anyone looking to get rich over the next few years, invest in body bags, with the disability pension now being a performance based process, many who are teetering with mental illness and the stigmas, shame, humiliation and difficulties that comes with it, facing the trauma of treatment and the exhausting task of trying to have your illness understood, and now having to repeatedly justify your agony, I predict the suicide completion rates will sky rocket.
Take a bow all who delivered this to us, you should soon feel the cold trickle of blood on your filthy hands.
Digging through some old photos for a little project, i came across this pic. Always leading the field this photo shows i was challenging the Kings Cross lock out laws 28 years before they were enacted.
Picture it . . 1987, my mates H, Alex and i are heading for a night out in Kings Cross at a venue called ‘The Site’, it was a Smiths party, so H and i both had a spray of flowers hanging out of our back pockets, but Alex being a fashion terrorist of the highest order decided that this night, knowing that we wore black, decided to deck himself head to toe in grey stone wash.
Despite our pleas he wouldn’t be swayed from his ‘statement’, which i might add also included grey vinyl shoes with grey zips up the sides. We arrived at the club busting to reel around the dance floor, we walked in, the bouncers took one look at the stone wash, and we were immediately thrown out onto the street.
What this photo shows is Alex ‘presenting’ the stone wash for the camera, and me arguing our case with the non responsive bouncer. For years afterwards at very random intervals, the grey shoes with zips would mysteriously appear on my doorstep while i was away or at work, staying long enough for my neighbors to assume the worst.
Tip of the hat Al, no one does fashion terror quite like you, Respect!!. See More
Can anyone explain to me what is going on in this country?, we’re being told of huge sacrifices we’re ‘ALL’ going to have to make to ensure Ostraya doesn’t descend into third world status, where we’re reduced to shitting into open sewers and foraging garbage tips for food, everyone that is except the politicians. Apparently the pollies are going to have some of their travel perks dialled back to show that they’re willing to share the pain along with us, but that’s pretty much it, no mention of them having to work till 70 to access their pension, superannuation and benefits (all of which are beyond generous).
The bleating from atop the political hills of ‘But politicians work SO hard, people have no idea of the hours and stress they endure’. What, more stressful than a cop scraping a baby off a road?, or a nurse wiping the bum of an old man and holding his hand as he dies with only the nurse for company?, more hours than these people are forced to work? Probably without penalty rates?. Nurses, cops, firemen, ambulance people don’t have ‘staff’, they don’t have ‘drivers’, they don’t get accommodation in fine hotels, they don’t have ‘spin doctors’ to help them out of difficult situations.
This all smacks of do as i say, not as i do.
This isn’t a Liberal V’s Labor issue, it’s bipartisan or across the political board.
The whole crux of this rant is ‘Why is this acceptable?’, and ‘Why are we accepting it?’.
It’s black and white bullshit, but what is MORE bullshit is the apathy of every single one of us ‘sheeple’ who just sit back and accept this, more than happy to assume the position, raise our apathetic posteriors and whimper ‘Do your best Joe’. ‘They’ve’ won, i mean literally they won, people voted to be screwed by hypocrisy, why wouldn’t, and why shouldn’t it be wholesale carnage on what we’ve worked for, while the pollies sail through this as ever mostly unscathed.
Linking pinks and chanting kumbaya isn’t the answer, but what is?, so many people i see have their fingers in their ears chanting ‘LALALALALALALA’, only looking up long enough to become indignant and upset at the injustice of a football player being punished for sexually assaulting someone, or for wiping shit on the walls of hotels. I’m as guilty as most (not for the shit smearing), i guess I’m battle weary, but I’m not seeing any grass roots action to say ‘STOP!!, this is disingenuous, this is insane!’ nothing seems to be happening to heal or replace this runaway train of apathy.
Maybe i should have run for office, but i would have been deemed ineligible, as I’d never deny or be ashamed of a sex scandal, and that’s just not politics as we know it.
