OH GOD! NOT THIS AGAIN!

Well, as they say, what comes around, goes around.  Here comes the Coalition campaign against the wicked Moslems all over again. Remember? They’re all terrorists, they never wash, they wear funny clothes, the women all look as they’re going to a funeral, the young ones are all multiple rapists or pedophiles and they shout from the roof of their mosque at five o’clock in the morning  when the decent members of the community are still sleeping off last night’s hangovers.
Howard and Ruddock were right.  Let ‘em drown, the lot of  ‘em!
Of course, all those lies and all that cruelty got Howard re-elected, and it’ll surely do the same for big bold Malcolm.

So far I’ve only heard one member of the Coalition criticise the Howard policy.   That was a courageous back bencher who got so little coverage that his name escapes me.
Apart from him, it was all being recited from the same script:
“We told you so; they’ll do anything. they’ll even chuck their kids overboard. We’ve got pictures to prove it. They’re going to come down here by the thousands. We’ll be swamped by filthy Moslems in filthy boats.  They’ll steal our belongings  rape our daughters or wives, or sons for that matter,  and it’ll all be Kevin’s  fault! “
I can hear  David Oldfield on Sydney Radio2GB spewing out  poison into the night for all his receptive insomaniacs to pass onto their kids and neighbours.

Of course they’ll never mention the fact that there are wars in Sri Lanka, Iraq, and Afghanistan which have hundreds  of thousands of pathetic, innocent people whose lives are in constant danger who are willing to go anywhere to save their own lives and those of their children. Thousands of them are going all over the world. 30,000 to Italy, 30,000 to Spain, wherever a seaboard they’ll go.  Australia has a very large seaboard, but one very dangerous to get to by old, leaking tubs run by unscrupulous crooks who don’t care how many refugees get to their destination as long as they pay.
The present Government is doing whatever is humanely possible to prevent them from coming.  They are patrolling our borders and processing any refugees that make it to see if they are acceptable ans migrants.  That is what the Howard Government basically set out to do.
It became a shameful  system of deterrence by brutality gave Australia a  reputation all over the world which will take us years to live down.

Does the Coalition really want a return to the Howard, Ruddock  system in which the asylum seekers (not “illegals” as the Coalition called them) were either allowed to drown, or incarcerated  in Detention Centers in  which children attempted to commit suicide or saw such dreadful things being done to their parents that they’ll be traumatised for the rest of their lives ; where the  inmates were brutally beaten by the guards in the remoter centers far away from the public gaze.
And that was the Australia to which Turnbull & Co wish to return.
Nice one, Malcolm. Is there anything you wouldn’t stoop to to become Prime Minister?

IT WORKED IN THE PAST.

It would appear that, since the banks have chosen to ignore the Reserve Bank’s recommendations for lower interest rates,  and since Malcolm Turnbull’s popularity is fast approaching negative figures, and while Peter Costello would love to be leader but his ticker is advising against it, it would be an ideal opportunity  for the Government to Nationalise the Commonwealth Bank, so that it would give the rest some meaningful competition.  It should be pointed out that the Commonwealth Bank was originally founded by a Labor Government in the 1930′ to protect those unfortunates who had lost their jobs, against the private banks repossessing their houses when they were unable to meet their mortgage repayments.
Of course the Nationalisation of the Commonwealth Bank would elicit the usual howls of  “socialism” from Turnbull and co;   in fact, Malcolm is beginning to slip the word in whenever he can now, but it doesn’t seem to scare the pants of the electorate.  Malcolm has become so negative that he’s lost the electorate.  The PM has the trust of the people despite the efforts of the Australian whose cartoons are becoming more and more offensive, as are the caricatures of Rudd which accompany its articles.
One wonders if the Chifley Government had succeeded in nationalising all the banks as they tried to do in 1949, what the state of the economy would be now.

AT LEAST HE DIDN’T SAY “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ?!!!”

There’s no doubt about it,  the Opposition sure is getting desperate!  So the PM did his block when he didn’t get the meal he ordered.  Big deal!  The poor bugger’s been working 24-7 running from one meeting to another.  He finally gets on his plane looking forward to a meal and a rest, and along comes the wrong dinner.  And tired as he was, he was rude to the young lady who brought it to him.  Pretty silly, but hardly important enough for the Opposition to make a ten course dinner out of it, especially since the PM apologized almost immediately and gracefully.

Julie Bishop is hardly a multi-mega brain, but on this morning’s ABC INSIDERS  she excelled herself. By the time she’d finished, she’d made such a goose of herself  thayt  she’d probably increased Rudd’s popularity by another couple of points.  She tried to picture him some sort of as a  Chinese spy and every other type of villain she could think of. It was a pathetic performance which excelled even Malcolm Turnbull’s efforts.
When will the Libs ever realise that the minute they come on the air the public turns off.
Even the talkback crownd on 2GB are beginning to give up!
