Greens with envy over Gina’s media bid

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Recent reports of Senator Lee Rhiannon’s links with Soviet KGB agents during the height of the Cold War provide an illuminating insight into the sinister origins of the Greens.  In those days Rhiannon’s name was Lee Brown and her parents, Bill and Freda Brown, were among the most radical Communists in Australia.  ‘Green’ is now a more acceptable term than ‘Communist’ however a review of their extreme left policies shows that whilst their name has changed their anti-West, anti-capitalist ideology remains the same.

Recent attempts to frighten the gullible into believing the world was melting and rivers were drying up have been ridiculed by the big freeze in Europe and record floods in Australia.

Their latest bogy is Gina Rinehart’s investment in media enterprises.  According to Greens Senator Christine Milne, these investments ‘are an assault on our democracy’. (more…)

Ferals bring out the best in Julia

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

If the ‘real Julia’ is the lady we saw after that disgraceful incident on Australia Day then we need to see more of her.  She was composed, dignified and warm as she reflected on the hysterical assault by a small group of activist parasites in Canberra.

Australians of all political persuasions were stunned as our Prime Minister’s security contingent had to activate emergency measures to extricate her and the Leader of the Opposition from a baying crowd of ferals.

Moments of stress in the face of imminent danger can trigger the good, the bad or the ugly in a person.  Julia Gillard’s reaction was exemplary.  Her concern for Tony Abbott’s welfare during the emergency evacuation and her calm and dignified demeanour after the incident should make us all proud of the quality of our political leadership. It won’t of course.

Julia didn’t go far enough in sacking the spin doctor who triggered the incident. If she is to have any chance at the next election she should sack them all and just be herself.  We all liked what we saw in her instinctive reaction to danger from the welfare warts of our national underbelly.

Social Media: use now – pay later

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

The marvels of modern communication via the internet are proving to be a double edged sword as we move into new spheres at an ever increasing rate.  Email, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Squidoo and a plethora of other applications are instantly accessible on ipads, iphones and Blackberries and have us connected globally 24/7.

The benefits of the new wave are beyond the dreams of earlier generations. They have irrevocably changed the way we live, work, love, fight, learn and play. The technologies are affordable, accessible, universal and instant.

Whilst baby-boomers are daunted with every instruction book accompanying new devices pre-schoolers accept them as a natural accessory.

‘I saw you at the supermarket’ said the teenager daughter of a friend on Facebook.  ‘You should have come over and said hello’ was the posted response.  A grandmother checking her grandson’s Facebook page chastises him for a message he posted to his friends.  She is ‘unfriended’.  (more…)

What’s in store for 2012?

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Winners in the lottery of life are those lucky enough to be born in Australia – the next category belongs to those fortunate enough to make Australia their home.

Our geographic location as a Pacific Rim nation; an abundance of natural resources; a parliamentary democracy; a free enterprise economy; an egalitarian society based on Christian values; our temperate weather; and our social welfare systems combine to make us the envy of the troubled world we live in.

We have freedom, fresh air, clean water, breathtaking landscapes and the opportunity to be whatever we want to become and do whatever we want to do.  All we have to do is set our goals, study, commit to hard work and go for it.

The year ahead will therefore be whatever we want it to be – and the outcomes we experience will reflect the choices we make.  (more…)

2011 – Chooks from the Left come home to roost

Monday, December 19th, 2011

2011 has been described as the year reality collided with the grand assumptions, delusions and theories of the global intellectual class.

It certainly has been a bad year for Global warmers and climate change soothsayers.  Dire warnings by their High Priest, Tim Flannery, never happened. Brisbane did not run out of water as he predicted – the city had it worst floods in decades.  Sydney didn’t melt as he warned – it is currently experiencing its coldest summer for half a century.   Damn.

It has also been a bad year for enviro-evangelists in the Labor-Green movement as the fallacy of their concocted ideology was exposed as a subterfuge for wealth redistribution.  The Left have never accepted the day communism died with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. (more…)

Political betrayal of Veterans’ sacrifice

Monday, December 12th, 2011

More than 7,000 Australian soldiers lie buried in war cemeteries at Bomana, Lae and Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. Hundreds more lie in unmarked jungle graves. They were fathers, sons and brothers to grieving families back home during the war in the Pacific in 1942. Some were teenagers.

These brave Australians sacrificed their lives to protect our borders from invasion against a fanatical Japanese force who had reached our front door in the island chain to our north. They died to protect their families and our Australian way of life.

As I walked amongst their graves in Rabaul last week I felt they could be forgiven for thinking they might have died in vain.

Their sacrifice has now been sacrificed on the altar of political expediency by the left wing Labor-Green Alliance now running the country. They have been betrayed by the generation they fought to protect. (more…)

American bases in Top End make good strategic sense

Monday, November 14th, 2011

There are two self-evident truths about the Greens.  They hate being Australian and they hate being white.  They also hate having to have a real job in the real world.  This is why they infiltrate taxpayer funded positions within Federal, State and Local Government departments where they don’t have to work and can’t ever be sacked.

Whilst Environmentalism has replaced Communism as their new ideology their core belief remains rooted in their hatred of democracy and capitalism. It is not surprising that their hate for the leading country that espouses these values, the United States of America, is palpable.

Greens leader Bob Brown and their ‘leader-elect’ Lee Rhiannon will do all in their power to establish an appeasement policy with China and will continue to undermine our sovereignty by opening up our borders to illegal-immigrants hostile to our Western way of life. If they can screw our economy with a Carbon Tax that is a bonus for them. (more…)

Qantas Vs Unfair Work Australia

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Union thugs have been squealing like stuck pigs since Qantas chief, Alan Joyce, blindsided them with his decision to ground the airline.  Their first response was to play the race card by claiming it will result in the ‘asianisation’ of our national airline. Somebody should tell these morons that the White Australia policy was buried years ago – by a Liberal government!

Unions have been waging an industrial terror campaign against Qantas to force them to accept their demands for more pay, less work and security for jobs that won’t exist with new technology.  Union leaders have boasted that they intend to do Qantas over slowly to get their way. (more…)

Republicans muted during Royal visit

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

Republicans have been remarkably muted during the royal visit by Queen Elizabeth 11 and the Duke of Edinburgh. The unwashed ferals occupying Martin Place protesting against democracy, greed and anything else that threatens their welfare cheques have received more coverage that the usual cohort of republican sympathisers from the commentariat.

Democracy is indeed a major impediment to the republican cause.  At the 1999 referendum more than a million Australians voted to retain our constitutional monarchy. The highest proportion of votes for a republic came from the inner-urban areas of Sydney and Melbourne.  The only area that registered a majority vote for a republic came from the People’s Republic of Canberra. All other states and territories rejected it. (more…)

Labor’s coalition of clowns deliver carbon tax

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Julia’s pledge that ‘there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead’ is now one of the great lies of Australian politics.

One can only wonder what was going through Kevin Rudd’s mind as he kissed Julia on the floor of Parliament after the historic vote. Was his tongue in his cheek? Could he feel an election coming on? Julia, it seems, not only had her eyes closed for the joyous moment but she obviously has her ears closed to what working voters are saying about her carbon tax.

Whilst Julia, Kev and their coalition of clowns (Oakshott, Windsor, Wilkie and Bandt) were kissing, whooping and giving self-congratulatory high-5s, most working Australians were bracing for the cost of their indulgence. (more…)
