An Australia Day Confession

Fiona Uncategorized

My fellow Pubkateers, I have to make a confession about a surprising epiphany that occurred a few minutes ago …

(Image Credit: Pets Diaries)

Moi has suddenly, overwhelmingly, DEEPLY, DESPERATELY, AND DANGEROUSLY, fallen IN LOVE with Our Dear Leader, PM Blood Oaf.

So moi simply cannot resist sharing moi’s feelings and, more importantly, reasons, with youse humanes.

Moi loves PMBO with:

A because he is ABYSMAL

B because he is BELLICOSE

C because he is CRASS

D because he is a DOLT

E because he is EGREGIOUS

F because he is FRIGHTENING

G because he is GORMLESS

H because he is HORRIBLE

I because he is IMPOLITE

J because he is JINGOISTIC

K because he is a KILL-JOY

L because he is LOUTISH

M because he is MISOGYNISTIC

N because he is NASTY

O because he is an OAF

P because he is a PRICK

Q because he is QUINTESSENTIALLY appalling

R because he is REPULSIVE

S because he is STUPID

T because he is TERRIBLE

U because he is UNCOUTH

V because he is VICIOUS

W because he is WORTHLESS

X because he is XENOPHOBIC

Y because he is YUKKY

Z because THAT’S HIS GRADE LEVEL.

 


Toodle pip 😉

PS: Well done and fantastic choices (which I bet got up a few people’s noses):

Adam Goodes – 2014 Australian of the Year

Fred Chaney – 2014 Senior Australian of the Year

Jacqueline Freney – 2014 Young Australian of the Year

Tim Conolan – 2014 Australia’s Local Hero

All thoroughly well-deserved (as were all their fellow nominees).

    You can only feel sorry for turkeys voting for Christmas so many times. That they continue to do so suggests they deserve everything they get.

  3. I would be surprised if our “government” doesn’t have a hand in the Nauru goings-on.

    Don’t want anyone to even suggest that things aren’t all rosy for The Scum’s detainees.

  4. Anne Henderson is on the Drum. What a bucket of sh**. Why invite her on when he wants to get rid of ABC and talks over everyone.

    QUESTION Is she the one who married Warren Mundine? If it is man that is kama for Warren.

  5. This little black duck

    After reading of the dismissed judge wanted open court run in the AS camps re the riot I’ve been certain of it.

    Tell me about it. I became used to Rob Oakeshott working his socks off for Lyne. After a few decades of National Party neglect it was amazing. Now it’s back to nothing.

    Within five months of the 2010 election Rob Oakeshott had obtained $96 million for extension to the local hospital, negotiated for work on the Pacific Highway to be speeded up, wangled improvements to the local airport and arranged for millions more to flow into the electorate on a stack of other projects.

    Our new Nats MP hasn’t done much in the five months since the election. He tried to claim funding for roads and projects funded by the Gillard goverment in the last budget as the fruits of his ‘close friendship’ with The Idiot. He has taken out a stack of half-page ads in the local paper to put Coaltion spin on this funding. And most important, he has told us about a new app that allows your location to be sent to emergency services when you call them from your iPHone. That’s it. The lot.

  8. http://www.independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/the-collapse-of-the-case-against-craig-thomson,6114

    That’s what I’ve been saying all along.

    With regard to the issue of Thomson spending the money he’s been accused of spending, this tells us nothing. If he gets off on a technicality, it doesn’t mean he would have been found guilty without it. I believe Thomson is still denying all charges against him, and there’s no evidence to suggest he’s guilty of any of them.

    We’re all in the realm of opinion on this matter. Mine is that he’s not guilty, and that’s mainly based on the way they’ve tried to prosecute him, going the sensationalist route all along to smear his character instead of finding something concrete they can nail him on. The idea of whether the spending is or would have been justified because of the way HSU guidelines were written, that’s irrelevant to me. It would be like saying that, because he could use the credit card that way, then he must have. They’re two separate issues.

  10. Aguirre,

    If rags like The Daily Toiletpaper were aware of that distinction there is no way that they would report it.

  11. God!….when one looks back over the wreckage of these mongrels, the Gillard govt’ was a virtual Camelot!

  14. Ah yes the Salvation Army in the 1990’s . Who can forget The Rodent appointing Major Brian Watters as chairman of the Australian National Council on Drugs ?

  17. I’ve seen various comments posted about Thomson’s barrister not doing this or that in the trial – questioning a witness about this, or challenging that document.

    From what’s been reported about in the last day or so about the specific terms of the charges against Thomson, I’d say that he was simply doing what a good student does on a final exam paper – carefully reading the question that was asked and answering only that – without adding extraneous information that can turn out to be a disadvantage later.

    If this case gets thrown out – and given the continued ‘political witchhunt’ mindset of the present government(s) – it wouldn’t be surprising to me if some other case wasn’t brought against Thomson in the future
    A unicorn in the hand, so to speak.

  18. At least, the Salvos are owning up. George’s crowd is not quite so forthcoming.

  19. This little black duck

    From an interview on RN a couple of days ago with a Salvo boss cocky they are more in to “Regret” .

  21. I always give to the salvos when they do the Red Shied appeal and many years ago even collected on the day.( was going out with a lovely girl who asked me to help).

    I am now not sure how to feel about them. Have bad apples ruined them ,should I have some guilt for donating to them. It is all terribly sad.

  22. The Salvation Army has an enviable record for supporting troops on the front line during war.

    That the bastards have indulged in violence towards children in no position to seek help is just awful.

  23. I think, Joe, that regimentation has a very bad effect on some. Too often, the accountability that should come with responsibility, falls down.

  24. The 7.5 worm may be turning, ever so slightly. The SPC decision is getting a lot of negative coverage.

  25. Looks like the ABC website has knocked off for the day: latest is more than one hour ago.

  27. The Good the Salvos have done should not be forgotten.
    Painful for them now but get it out in the open , acknowledge the pain and suffering the victims have gone through put procedures in place so it dosn’t happen again.

  28. With the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) accepting revised proposals for the restructure of the ICC after securing the assurance that their Test status will not be revoked, the Big Three are one vote away from the number required to push through constitutional amendments in order that the revamp be completed in full.

    http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/current/story/713925.html

    If India is in control you can forget about any focus on matches lasting longer than one day. Bastards!

  29. Labor had agreed to give SPC Ardmona that $25 million. The people of Murray voted for a Liberal, giving Sharman Stone 70.87% of the 2PP vote. They have what they voted for, a Coaltion government. I hope they are happy with their choice.

    This is what The Idiot had to say on 26 May last year, in an address to the Victorian Liberal Party. Carefully chosen weasel words, as always. ‘We know there’s a problem, Labor don’t know how to fix it, trust us’.

    It’s not just the motor industry which is at risk because of the economic climate that this government has created. You only have to look to our regional agricultural centres to see ongoing problems. There are almost 1,000 jobs at risk in Shepparton because of the problems at SPC Ardmona. In some of our great fruit growing areas, orchards are being bulldozed and we have a government which is making a difficult situation worse, not better. This is the first rule of government – do no harm. Do no harm. This is the first rule and this is just the beginning of the things that the current government simply doesn’t understand.
    ……………………………………………………….
    I am here to say that it doesn’t have to be like this and it won’t be like this if there is a change of government on September the 14th. Because we have, over the last three years, been working on a strong plan for Australia and a strong plan for Victoria.
    http://www.liberal.org.au/latest-news/2013/05/26/tony-abbott-transcript-address-victorian-liberal-party-state-council

    How right he was. It didn’t have to be like this, with more job losses announced every week, but people voted for this mendacious hypocrite. Someone must have wanted it to be like this.

  30. The Salvos was one that my mother was willing to contribute to. Came second to the RSPCA.

    She could have been a wonderful vet but wasn’t willing to “kill” animals. She let her dog live way too long. Nothing we could do about it.

  32. “weasel” sounds a lot like “we sell”. Entirely appropriate in our current political circs.

  34. Sharman Stone …..heard her say she was confident the abbott cabinet would come up with the support for SPC ….. betcha all those stupids who voted so strongly for her are wondering what the hell hit them. After all, before the election they were told the abbott and his mob were their bestest friends and Labor were the incompetent wreckers. How is Sharman going to spin it?

  36. Make what you like of this

    In praise of Malcolm Turnbull for his ABC review and other news and views noted along the way
    Jan 30th, 2014 by Richard Farmer in News and views for the day

    Protecting the ABC and SBS. The conspiracy theorists and Coalition government haters went into overdrive today when Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull released details of a study into the efficiency of the operations of the ABC and SBS. Almost without a moments thought the chant went up that examining operational costs as well as products and services in order to “increase efficiency and reduce expense” was actually a way of punishing the ABC for reporting things in way the government did not like. A moment’s calmer reflection would have resulted in the realisation that Malcolm Turnbull has actually saved the public broadcasters from the across -the-board cost cutting (strangely called an efficiency dividend by governments) affecting almost all other parts of public services. It is arbitrary cuts of that kind that would result in a lowering of standards of broadcasts. Under the arrangement Turnbull has got his Cabinet colleagues to agree to any spending cuts will be in the ‘back of house’ day-to-day operational and financial operations, structures and processes applied to delivering ABC and SBS programs, products and services. As the statement by the Department of Communication makes clear, “it is not a study of the quality of the national broadcasters’ programs, products and services, or the responsibilities set out in their Charters but of the efficiency of the delivery of those services to the Australian public.”

    Who knows, if the inquiry actually identifies more efficient ways of doing bureaucratic things there might actually be more funds to spend on programming.

    I doubt that the leaders of the anti-ABC cheer squad in Holt Street will be pleased at that prospect. They would have been far happier with the approach outlined on page one of The Australian this morning:

    (more in the article)

  37. When my grandmother died she asked that the Salvos perform the rites at her funeral. She told me on a couple of occasions before her death that when she was raising my mother and uncle she had to beg the churches for food and clothing during The Depression. She said the Anglican, Catholic and others would ask “Do you worship here?” Her answer was “No” to which their answer was “No”.
    But the Salvos would always try to find something for her no questions asked even though she wasn’t part of the congregation.
    For my grandmother and subsequent generations a first hand experience of the lack of Christianity in our Christian churches.
    And don’t forget how low you must have felt to have to beg for food and clothing.

  38. Abbott also discussed – if you can call it that – the problems of fruit growers around Shepparton with Alan Jones last November. Farmers were pulling out their trees, it was all Labor’s fault and ‘something’ had to be done.
    Here’s what they said –

    ALAN JONES:
    Meanwhile, what’s to happen to these 750,000 fruit trees? I mean, Julie Bishop said last week, sensibly I think, that Australian taxpayers fork out $5 billion in foreign aid. The aid should be aligned with the national interest. Why couldn’t the government say, leave the fruit trees there, we’ll buy the fruit and this will be a foreign aid substitute?

    PRIME MINISTER:
    Well, look, it’s an interesting thought, Alan, but I just don’t know the logistics of buying a lot of fruit from SPC…

    ALAN JONES:
    So are these gone? Are these 750,000 fruit trees gone?

    PRIME MINISTER:
    Alan, I’m happy to keep talking to Sharman Stone about this because Sharman Stone, the local member down there in Shepparton…

    ALAN JONES:
    She knows her stuff, yep.

    PRIME MINISTER:
    …is absolutely passionate about her fruit growers. We will do what we can to ensure that they are competing on a level playing field but I’m just not sure about this, the logistics of buying the product and shipping it off overseas as foreign aid. I’m just not sure that that really does make sense.

    https://www.pm.gov.au/media/2013-11-11/interview-alan-jones-radio-2gb

    So there you have it. No promises to carry on with Labor’s promised funding. no promises to do anything useful at all. Just more mutterings about level playing fields. Just ‘I’ll keep talking to Sharman Stone’. Fat lot of good that did.

    Myer sought ‘merger of equals’ with rival David Jones
    January 30, 2014 – 6:55PM
    Nabila Ahmed, Sue Mitchell and James Chessell

    Department store chain Myer approached upmarket rival David Jones about a $3 billion scrip merger just days before two David Jones directors bought shares in the company late last year, The Australian Financial Review has reported.

    It is believed Myer, advised by investment bank Goldman Sachs and consulting group Bain, made a full proposal for a “merger of equals” in late October.

  43. My apologies to everyone for confusing Ms Ley with Dr Stone.

    BK, I’m delighted you liked the ‘toon.

  45. Its that sort of a week…
    Airplane (Flying High) – looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking/drinking etc

  46. Leroy,
    I will leave your “etc” in decent privacy. As for the drinking/smoking, Feb Fast doesn’t start until Saturday.

  47. Don’t really drink, don’t smoke or sniff glue, its more the spirit of the thing 🙂

  49. If anyone takes what Allbull says …

    “He never says a foolish thing, No”r ever does a wise one.

    I disagree with John Wilmot on both counts.

  50. For this evening:
    “The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
    The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea
    The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
    And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
    Now fades the glimm’ring landscape on the sight,
    And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
    Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
    And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;
    Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow’r
    The moping owl does to the moon complain
    Of such, as wand’ring near her secret bow’r,
    Molest her ancient solitary reign.”
