Pomposity is a word I have not had the opportunity to use of late but when I view Australian media networks and papers I would apply such a term most vigorously to the over generous support they apply to Mr Tonay Abbott and the Coalition Government. The Coalition is so lack lustre and dull that the best support is to simply ignore the man and attack everything the Labor Government of Juliia Gillard stands for.
Interesting, though not a surprise and something at least I and miliions of others have been aware of for the last 7 years or so. Examine the documents of donations for the Coalition government and you will find donors comming from right across the media scene; so much so that every time there is a breaking headline you would be best aware there was a sizable donation made to ensure such headline hit the mark.
a DISSappointing situation in a so called free and liberated country, but Australia is no more free than the monks of Tibet and of course no better dressed either. How about we swing a few points, or the points that no one is touching what so ever - The Liberal Coalition does not even believe there is climate change, so they have no policy to combat it and of course big business is happy because they won't have to pay for their pollution with this government - we hear nothing about this mind you, because Australians are stupid and all we think about is how much the next beer round is going to cost - yep, it's true, the majority of Australians can't count too far past a six pack these days and if you follow current government promises they are appealing to the lower lifes that shout loud when the keg runs dry.
Am I cynical - you bet. Tony Abbott is being portrayed as some leading light, some shining hope in Australia's future, yet everything he is offering is a step back into the 1950s when racism and bigotry was well intrenched in the Australian landscape. The man dislikes gays, thinks women are best in the home, see cutting money to hospitals (despite his weak offer to help) and schools is the best action for the country.
These are some of the key points the media have been selling Australian beer swiklling men in plaid shirts. Tony Aboot is a happily married and moral man with a stable family in the truest traditions of the church. Julia Gillard is unmarried in a defacto relationship with no children and is godless.
I see -- One Nation nwas driven out of politics by the Liberal party because of what it stood for in Australia, yet today, this very day the whole concept of One Nation idewals is now being presented by the Coalition government as the one true alternative - the alternative to what? Better schools, better hospitals, better economy, better communications services, more freedoms for gay people and couples and a better understanding of Australia and the worlds environmental needs.
For me, and I am biased here, to vote for the Coalition is to actually send Australia back in time - Japan will hesitate in dealing with us and China will see the clear opportunity to play the bully because Tony Abbott can't be trusted to open his mouth.
SO, in a couple of weeks who will you be voting for? The COalition (Liberal party)which has become the new version of One Nation, or the Labor Party (with its union links) - you could vote Greens of course, but to be honest there is no way in hell you would let any of those clowns near a functioning government - the first thing they would ban would be mining -- oh the choices...
Be miserable my friends, because if Tony Abbott wins we are screwed... really really screwed...
