Brenda Nelson: a dolled up tart

I have nothing but scorn for Brenda Nelson. This dolled up tart tried to pretend she was a tough defence minister; meanwhile, Brenda was rolling over and playing cute for anyone who would tickle her vanity. Now she's the leader of the Liberals. It seems to be an extract from a Noel Coward play ... full of cant, irony and droll humour.

If only David Hicks knew what terror awaits him at Centrelink. All those forms, the queues, the paternalistic smiles from behind the counter, the breaches for blowing your nose ... Centrelink is John Howard's act of terror on the Australian poor.

Yes, Rudd and the Labor Team are no different from the general Australian public, in that this mob, who refer to themselves as 'fair dinkum Aussies' who demand a 'fair go' for everybody, voted the Fascist Howard into power four times!

There are a few hundred thousand Kooris who impress me far more than I am impressed by Mundine. Up our way where Kooris speak their mind [in fact, I've never met a Koori who does not speak his or her mind] Mundine is just another Koori. All his relatives live up here in northern NSW and most of them are far more impressive as humans than the man who likes to see his name in the media. It seems that Chocca Mundine becomes irritated when his photo or name are not the focus of one story or another. If Mundine is left out of the headlines, old mate Anthony will make sure he's back in the news.

LONDON: Victoria Beckham has developed a bizarre system for rating the devotion of her fans.

The super-slim singer and wife of footballer David Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, says "true fans" prove their dedication by bursting into tears when they spot her - or by falling unconscious.

And she reserves her highest praise for those fans who need emergency medical help.

Rudd refuses dinner with Caoimh

That Rudd! Man, he's a hard one to tie down. We also issued him and Teresa an invitation to dinner with us but, just as with the G-G, our new PM couldn't make it. We had baked beans and toast and as a special treat my wife served up a vegemite roll! How about that? And Rudd wasn't there to taste this delicacy. Oh well, another time, maybe?

I still hate Howard

I did not hate Saddam. Nor did I hate Soeharto. Both of these late gents were responsibile for many crimes against their populations. But I did not hate them. That inner feeling that overwhelms at times is reserved for someone special, someone so out-of-the-ordinary, that one wonders from where such hard feelings derive.
Phillip, you have encapsulated all that has warranted my hatred for Howard.
No more to be said. The evil bastard is gone. He should be locked up at Baxter or Villawood for a few months and see how Ms Rau and Solon felt.
I still hate Howard. His evil resonates within the land and it will take many months of 'smoking' to rid our nation of his evil vibe.

Frank Zhang the Recruiter

Temuxiazhin:
Aaaaaaaaaah! Frank Zhang! Sang Xing! My old mate, the recruiter. He and I have a history of conflict as he tried to do the phoney on me years ago while I was in Xinxiang, Henan. I found out later, while I was still in China, that Frank had tried one on with an Aussie female laoshi. He actually tried to have sex with her! Imagine, Frank unzipping in front of you in his mangy office?
Now home in Oz, I was contacted by Frank in his Sang Xing guise and after a lot of crap and abuse from him, I set upon him and flooded his email with Fallin Ghangh crap, telling him he was wanted by the Chinese police etc. I also sent copies to his client list [Frank had inadvertently, or maybe on purpose, included his entire client list as bcc and cc to his abusive mail to me] of all the Googled Frank Zhang info [including doctored docs] that showed that Frank was President of Fallin Ghangh etc.
Guess what? All his mail ceased. Immediately.
I have no idea of the consequences of what I did to him but if it was evil then I am glad.
Frank Zhang with all his characters are [oops is] is a blot on the face of Chinese education. What I did to him was well deserved and I hope he's rotting in some Jiamusi prison.

Presidential hopeful Hopeless Howard

Adrian Caoimh
Tabulam NSW
Tue 07 Aug 07 (07:32am) Our GG has become lost among the flowers of Canberra for we never seem to see him doing his job. No, that part of the GG’s job description has been taken over by John Howard. You are so on the spot with your analysis, Phillip. My wife and I have been talking about ‘President John’ for many years and his presidential ‘syle’ has become more ostentatious in recent times.
Have you ever seen John in a suit that is not dark- presidential?
Wrapping themselves in the Aussie flag ala Presidents from the USA has become derigeur for our political leaders.
Having Howard clones standing behind and in obeisance as our PM delivers yet another homily to ‘his people’.
All the vestiges of the Presidential atmosphere that has cloaked our political system.
Yes, we have a president so why not let us have our President?

Howard the Ugly Australian

If arch-Liberal Valder can see the negative aspects of Howard's governance then it is indicative of how ugly our political landscape has become.
No wonder we are viewed in not the same attractive light as we once were.
This is Howard's fault!
No other person can claim credit for besmirching Australia's great name within our region and even among our international friends.
Thanks John! Hope you enjoy your multi-million dollar retirement while my daughter struggles to feed herself and to pay rent because your mean mentality has wrecked the lives of so many young persons, including my daughter.

Howard sees us as enemies

Coalition adverts on TV show the 'enemy' as ordinary Australians. You can hear our voices in the background, ostensibly cast by the Libs as agitators, violence-prone yobbos, a threat. A threat? To whom? Is this advert set to divide Australians into categories defined by the Coalition? Is this the true face of Howard's Mob? The elite with its comfort and class, and the hoi polloi with its crassness and lack of class ... them and us!
What's wrong with having a trade union?
Does this mean that the police officer's association, itself a trade union, has subversive intentions inimical to Australia's interests?

Why not just give the lot to me? I mean, the whole business of buying votes is sickening. After watching the coalition waste our money on ads and furthering the wealth of the media moguls and printers and Oz Post, I get the notion that our nation comes a distant second to the greed of the individual. While babies are being born on floors of hospitals and old women die in hospital cupboards and thousands die from disgustingly poor roads every decade, all we think about is our credit cards and consumerism.
No, give the lot to me and I will donate the lot to our awful health system and maybe I can save a few desperate lives. Vote for me!!!!

Full marks to Alan Jones but I must deduct a few for his use of the word 'obligated'. This Americanism is almost standard English here, as we continue to show our cultural and lingual cringe by adopting just about anything that emanates from the USA.
Alan, the word is 'obliged'; the noun is obligation.
It's similar to our bastardisation of the verb 'lend'; now we loan.
We lost the verb 'test' 17 years ago we we began to 'trial' things.
On and on we go, casting off our verbal apparel and donning the dreadful language of the Americans.

Taliban target Aussie SAS

As a former soldier, and as a fierce opponent of Howard's government, my only opinion is that our fellow Australians in Afghanistan receive every bit of support we can muster. They are there; we are not. It is a terrible loneliness sometimes, out there, with your mates, doing your duty. We are the best fighting force in the world and it is a compliment to our soldiers that the Taliban are waging a singular campaign against us. So we stick it right back at those mongrels. We cannot rest until the Taliban are defeated, either on the field or at the table. But the fighting has begun and we will finish it.

Labor labours under weight of principle

Answering MacCullum on Garrett Topic List < Prev Topic | Next Topic >

Reply | Forward | Delete < Prev Message | Next Message >

Re: Answering MacCullum on Garrett


Not since Arthur Calwell have we a Labor leader who will put
principle ahead of convenience or political expediency. Calwell
stood under the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1966 and declared loudly
Labor's position on Vietnam and the electorate ignored him. They
voted for Harold Holt and his Liberals.
Since that moment Labor has kowtowed to the ignorance of the
electorate, a state of mind fostered by Sir Frank Packer and his
media cohorts.
When Whitlam began to slowly extricate Australia from Vietnam, the
dye already had been cast and it was deemed safe electorally to make
that move. The war had been lost for many years by then.
Now Rudd has positioned himself in exactly the same immoral position
as he had during the Haneef fiasco, deeming political victory to be
more important than principle.
Only the Socialist Alliance [and in some remote way, the Greens]has
remained true to what we consider to be the only way to act and to
think.
Being in China has not removed me from the shame that Howard [and by
extension, Rudd]has fostered upon my nation. The litany of decisions
catering to the mindset moulded by vested interests rather than to
principle has removed from me any sense of involvement other than to
protest via my vote for the SA. We are not going to win at this
election; nor are we to win within the forseeable future. But we
must display the fact that we do exist and that we of the Left do
retain our taste for principle. We must remain a magnet for those
people who cannot abide a vote for either Rudd or Howard.
The very notion that we vote for our local representative has never
been a part of our political thinking; we prefer the American
presidential bullshit of voting for the leader. Is that democracy?
Once our reps are in, they rarely behave as our reps; they morph
into clones of the leader, just as the Nazis adhered to the Fuhrer
Princip.
Yes, left right left right ... goose stepping to the beat of vested
interests or the whim of some autocrat for whom the electorate is ...
forgotten the moment the vote is cast.

Robert Mugabe holds court over a country that somehow has deserted him. Hitler felt much the same as he blamed the Germans for the war's loss. John Howard reminds me of Robert Mugabe. It is everyone else's fault but his. Blame Rudd for agreeing with him. Blame the States for being the States.

Rudd does nothing to calm Howard's propensity for spending our money

I, too, am confused by Rudd. I am one of those for whom Howard is a cur, a deceitful blob of political chicanery, a liar and, aside from the Liberal rubbish that sent us to Vietnam, the worst example of duplicitous behaviour.
But Kevin ... oh dear! I ask: where is the opposition? Since Rudd's accession to the Labor throne, Howard has gone berserk and Rudd and his motley crew have done nothing to calm the old Liberal and to stop Howard's propensity for electioneering with the nation's wealth.
At least Latham stuck it in Howard, ground his point so that we, the electorate, knew where Labor stood.

Israel the Terror of the Middle East

Oh for Pete's sake! Would you expect Rubin to say anything else? Let's look at history ... where was Israel in 1946? Where was Palestine in 1946? Now look again ... this time in 1949. Where was Israel and where was Palestine? Someone decided that the Arabs were not as needy as the Jews. What happened? Well, today continues to add to the history of that region and compiles a litany of land theft and grand colonialism. Work it out for yourselves, Aussies! If you can't then examine our own country's history and see if there is not some parallel.

The 20th century produced one of the worst examples of colonial arrogance in that Palestinian people were subjected to an unwarranted invasion of their lands by a European-centric population that mysteriously claimed the right to a section of Palestine.
This neo-colonialism continues to smack the Palestinian peoples in the face by backing Israel in whatever mischievous adventure that Zionist state wishes.
It is time that European descended peoples the world ocer recognised this political malady and helped to restore Palestine to the Palestinians.

Chinese drivers

I have returned from three years in China. One hundred thousand kiddies were killed on Chinese roads last year, mostly on their way to and from school. Four hundred thousand all in all died on Chinese roads. But a full quarter of those killed were kids. That says something about road conditions in China. The driving culture is horrific. Drivers use klaxons, horns, sirens even, to propel a sonic boom in front of their cars to clear the road ahead of pedestrians. They don't slow down. They simply drive straight at them.
I was hit by cars three times, twice on a university campus. The other time a car left the road, raced onto the pavement and collided into me. The driver alighted and abused me for bumping his side mirror as he careened into me.

Tenants! The law does not protect a property owner. Simple as that. Knowing John Jarratt I would reckon that he was taking the piss out of himself by injecting his Wolf Creek character into the effort to rid himself of nuisance tenants.

Howard orders invasion of Aboriginal Australia

Australia's indigenous populations are not a foreign enemy to be invaded and humiliated. Why the army? Is not the army to be used for defence purposes? I don't think the use of our armed forces will serve our internal social harmony to any positive extent. To my mind the 'second invasion' is not representative of my needs and wants; it is purely a political stunt by John Howard a few months out from an election. Since there are no children overboard Howard has used the community of Aboriginal peoples for his nasty political needs.

The problem with Brian Smith is that he's terribly boring. He used to be a radio commentator with ABC on a Saturday arvo and by crikey he'd bore the holes in a fishing net. Listen and watch him talk about footy and you end up staring blankly, in that "snap me out of it please I'm in a trance" kind of stare.
He may be a good bloke but he's tiresome. His voice grates. And worst of all he's inclined to squint just a little too much like John Howard for my liking.

John Howard wants to be as tough as Mugabe

Kevin 07 may wish to be Prime Minister, thus he apes John Howard to a certain extent. By extension, does wanting to be someone else require a similar apeing? Or, in reverse, does apeing someone else imply wanting to be that someone else?
My point, Matt, is that John Howard's behaviour certainly apes that of Robert Mugabe. Does this imply our PM wants to be Mugabe; or merely wants to be regarded in the same mould as that lunatic dictator?

Howard wraps himself in Aussie flag

Our GG has become lost among the flowers of Canberra for we never seem to see him doing his job. No, that part of the GG's job description has been taken over by John Howard. You are so on the spot with your analysis, Phillip. My wife and I have been talking about 'President John' for many years and his presidential 'syle' has become more ostentatious in recent times.
Have you ever seen John in a suit that is not dark- presidential?
Wrapping themselves in the Aussie flag ala Presidents from the USA has become derigeur for our political leaders.
Having Howard clones standing behind and in obeisance as our PM delivers yet another homily to 'his people'.
All the vestiges of the Presidential atmosphere that has cloaked our political system.
Yes, we have a president so why not let us have our President?

Oh I agree wholeheartedly, Piers ... Haneef had that look in his eye that told me he was as guilty as hell of being a bloody foreigner. I mean to say, gee, what is the world coming to when our former slaves are allowed to treat white people. You can see the bloke’s a darkie.
Kevin Andrews is a top bloke. You can tell that he’s as perspicacious as anyone else in John Howard’s line up of political superstars. Not a hint of deception; not a thread of dishonesty. His intelligence shines as a beacon for us all to follow in his path toward an Australia where only right-minded people can breathe the fresh Aussie air.
I watch you when you’re on 'Insiders', Piers, and I must admit you handle the ladies well. Your body language is a treat for us all.

Howard and Andrews leave Oz at bottom of rat pile

Howard and Andrews have left our country at the bottom of the rat pile, in the eyes of those people who give credence to the concept of a fair go. Howard has ruined our reputation with those people who value humanity. And still we Australians have not awakened to he fact that Howard is a liar and that the concept of sorry applies only when Howard has something to gain, and we all know there are no votes in being nice to Aborigines and people of 'Middle Eastern appearance ... including Indians].

Kevin Andrews should apologise

Kevin, I respect the work you do for us but this time you have damaged our country's reputation beyond belief. What on earth made you behave so stupidly re Haneef? No amount of obfuscatory denials will restore the credibility of our country in the international arena. It was plain to all that you had stuffed up. The best thing for you to do is to apologise and get on with your job of ensuring our country is friendly to immigrants and capable of handling real terrorists.

Dictatorial Howard fosters insane paranoia

The saga of Howard's Way continues. Another event of disastrous consequences for Australia's international reputation has forced its way onto the front pages of every major news media internationally. When is this dictatorial Prime Minister about to accept final responsibility for fostering the insane paranoia among those professional security officers who, frankly, should have known better.

Kevin Andrews: Political henchman of John Howard

Kevin Andrews stuffed up Workplace Relations with the odious workchoice mess. He's now taken over from Amanda who had taken over from Philip Ruddock. Ruddock's time at the wheel of immigration proved to be disastrous for Australia: ask Cornelia Rau and Ms Solon and the hundreds of wretched souls who lived for years in our gulags at Woomera and Villawood. Now Ruddock and Andrews have combined to bring international disgrace upon our heads and have probably reinforced some lunatic's desire to 'get even' with the Aussie dogs who defile the religious world of others

Caoimh criticises Howard's greed and stupid immorality

Caoimh of Tabulam NSW
Wed 25 Apr 07 at 05:42am

In 1807 the British Parliament’s Lower House voted to abolish slavery. It took the Upper House another fifteen years to ratify this decision. Why so long? because the British Establishment was afraid that by abolishing slavery they would wreck the British economy.
Howard is repeating that recalcitrant piece of greed and stupid immorality by insisting that the Oz economy is more important than the environment.

Kevin Rudd talks to Caoimh on Dr Haneef

Dear Adrian



Thank you for your correspondence relating to the very important issues surrounding the detention of Dr Haneef.



As there is varying media speculation and general commentary surrounding this case its critical to bear in mind that when it comes to matters of terrorism and matters which concern our civil liberties, the facts must be independently ascertained.



In cancelling Dr Haneef’s visa on 16 July 2007, the Minister stated he acted on the information and advice provided by the Australian Federal Police. Based on the information presented by the Minister for Immigration, the Minister has exercised his discretion under the Migration Act and appears to be acting within the Act.



Labor provided in-principle support to the Minister's decision in good faith and sought a briefing from the Federal Police.



We have been provided with the standard briefings given to the opposition, but it is the government that has access at this stage to the full facts. We've certainly been prepared to accept in good faith the government's information to date.



These facts will be tested, both by the independent DPP as they prepare any case and most importantly they will be tested thoroughly through the court process.



I think that in this situation it is more important than ever for us to respect the independence of our judiciary, and to appreciate the principle of sub judice, and for us to respect that our judicial system can do its job properly, and without undue interference.



Labor will continue to monitor developments in this case very closely, to ensure as far as we can in Opposition, that due process is followed.



I appreciate your concerns and thank you for taking the time to let me know your views.



Kind Regards





Kevin Rudd

SES a cause for worry

The local SES set fire to tall grass in a field opposite our home in Tabulam. I was in bed recovering from a hefty medical operation and, still bearing stitches in my gut, had to struggle from the house to the garden [we are on acre in village] to get the bore primed. As it is an old bore it requires a fair bit of work to get it going. The flames were high and we faced a tall wall of fire as my wife and I battled to get the water flowing. After all, the SES did not warn us of this burnoff, and we have an old wooden house with old roof and loads of vegetation to ignite.
I split my stitches and set my recovery back at least a week.
The pictures I have taken of the fire afterward clearly show how close the fire came to igniting vegetation close to our neighbour's house.
I spent the next two hours hosing my garden as the cinders were caught in the swirling winds of Tabulam.
One gets the distinct impression of cowboys at play when one watches your blokes getting a backburn going. It is pathetic in the extreme.
With carbon trading the political buzzword of the day and with a simple tractor blade the ability to mow and mulch, I ask why this absurd practice of burning within the town [village] limits? The school's fence burned. They set fire to a garbage dump with tyres burning black. They set fire to the electrical equipment that fed, until recently, a workshop owned by local Kooris. These were big kids in SES uniform having fun and as my wife and I struggled to get the bore working, we wondered how much effort would it have cost, were these firies to have warned us, so that we could have, at leisure, or at least with ten minutes warning, primed our bore and have been ready when they set the flames upon the grass.
If your blokes assert that they had the situation under control, then my photos will illustrate the way the fire jumped and set alight grass quite close to property.
We have seen a few of these fires and not once have we had the benefit of a warning. My recollection of the law tells me that such a warning is necessary at times of planned burnback.
Tabulam is a village of some 100 people and we live smackbang in the middle of the village. It is not a big deal to warn us by simply shouting from the gate to give us ten mins warning. Is this too much to ask from intelligent people?

All these are prepared to pay full price airfares, whereas tourists are not. If thousands more tourists want to go, the Qantas etc will be able to earn more by charging less. Eg. Bali - Australia, and London to Australia.

I wish anyone well, setting up such tourism ventures.

John 'Coward' Howard guilty of war crimes?

Howard's complicity

Sir--

Consensus is growing in Australia that our Prime Minister John "Coward" Howard should be tried for war crimes.

That a grudge against Saddam Hussein by George W Bush is construed by others as a legitimate cause for invasion and pre-emptive war, is sufficient indication that the invasion of Iraq was morally and politically indefensible. Bush was quoted as saying that "Saddam tried to kill my Daddy" and Coward Howard, as he is known in Australia, was known to be fully supportive of this emotional claptrap. Thus, the invasion and terrible suffering for Iraqis.

Australian Muslims and non-Muslims abhor this conflict; only fools and thieves relish this war.

Unions and Labor

It is strange. I went for a job as a union organiser with the United Services Union (NSW) and in my application I made it clear on two occasions that I was a member of the Socialist Alliance. At the end of the interview, for which I had travelled 360 kilometres, I was advised that if given the job I was to become a member of the ALP. I protested that I had made it known that I was with the Socialist Alliance. I was told that the SA was not a political party! When I insisted that the SA was indeed a political party, the interview was suddenly curtailed. It is strange!

'RANE' is the most compelling work in years ...

From: Caoimh 25/12/2002 8:55:33 AM
Subject: re: Your 2002 Best Books post id: 3067

The E Book 'RANE' by Adrian Keefe is the most compelling work I have seen in years. Horrible characters and vicious theme but it is extremely well written and I couldn't put it down. A graphic illustration of the Stolen generations but in a graphically savage manner.

How tribal Australian TV viewers really are ...

Adrian Keefe:

The Logies! I am amazed at how tribal Australian TV viewers and others really are. Take a look at sideburns...even bald men wear sideburns. Little patches of hair in front of the ears. Rove's haircut. Would anyone willingly wear such a ridiculous style if it were not for the tribal mind? Follow the leader ... except we do never know who the leader is. We just follow."

I don't know which of the two I detest the more ... unions or John Howard.
If we could have a political system that did not cater to special interests but, instead, catered to the bloody electorate, us, the mob who actually exist in this politically blighted land.
Rudd is the same as Howard, seeking at all times to feather his own bed, at the expense of us nobodies. They make me sick!

Gus Gould's Ghouls of Rugby League

I wholeheartedly agree with Wayne Bennett. Scott Prince was assaulted by two huge Bronco forwards a split second after Prince punted the ball. It was deliberate! There was no attempt to block the ball. It was pure attack on the body of Prince and now the half back has to suffer because, as Bennett says, the game of Rugby League does NOT protect the kicker of the ball in play.
The blame must rest largely upon the critics and commentators of our game. The chief offender is Gus Gould who berates any referee who punishes a late tackle. Gould grunts and groans during his commentary about so-called soft penalties, penalties given for head-high tackles, late charge-downs, etc. Gould relects the thug in rugby league. Oh yes, Gus may have been a successful coach but his continued philosophies of brutal play cast him squarely in the Camp of Thugs.
Immedialey after Prince was sidelined, Brisbane scored. They won the game. And Prince was left to suffer simply because the game itself does not protect the kicker of the ball in play.
Wake up, Mr Gallup. Wake up Mr Stirling. wake up all you influencial people of Rugby League and protect the kicker.

When Ritchie met Sally ... err ... when Ritchie became Sally ... none of us knew that she would grow up to become a Gold Logie winner. Sally has seen off all the Pippas, Dodges, Stalkers and Maccas, and has buried the Bobbies, Kens and Beths. But it's the kids in the show that somehow are not destined to be repeats of Sally herself. Young VeeJay isn't allowed to be heard; young Pippa is sort of seen and heard to mumble, and young Ryan was almost allowed to act, but was shoved aside recently. So it's probably Sally's daughter, Pippa who may cause Sally herself to be shown the exit door ... finally!

Australians who voted for John Howard amaze me. This woman displays complete child-like faith in a man for whom she has had respect. What I want to know is, why did she respect a man who has made lying an art form. Does not truth play a fundamental part of our nation's psyche any more? My angst is not so much against this congenital liar but against the millions of Aussies for whom lying obviously is not a shameful act.

Lesson in spelling for Matt Price [The Australian]

Matt Price. Good morning!
I quote: " ... to affect significant change any time soon. "
I think it would be more appropriate to use the word 'effect' rather than 'affect' as effect means to bring about sig change when affect means to alter significant change.
I know it's a small point but Australian journalists are becoming a shoddy lot with regard to grammar and spelling and I'd like to think you were a bit above all that.
I agree with your point of view.

Another Howard lie, writes Jimmy G of Sydney. How many does that make for our worthy PM? WE sit there when Howard delivers his homilies and we wonder why it is that Aussies believe this critter ... at any time. If a person lies to me once, I remember that fact and I am sceptical the next time this person says anything to me. But if that person is allowed to lie to me, again and again and again, and again, I must take umbrage with myself for even contemplating the notion that this person may, just may, be telling the truth. The truth is that a liar is a liar and Howard is a liar.

There are many Australians, non-Muslim Aussies, who agree with Kamal Mousselmani. Israel may not be a terrorist state but it behaves as one. And I am not afraid of saying publicly, in spite of our ludicrous security laws, that Hezbollah is indeed a resistance group dedicated to the defence of Lebanon againsst blatant naked illegal inhumane Israeli aggression. Indeed, some of us are Jewish Aussies, and we do not like the way Israel denigrates our position in the world. There are Jews who do not like what Israel is doing. Are these Jews terrorists also? Indeed!

Anita Quigley's penchant for grubby English

Dear oh dear, Anita. This is the second time I've had to pursue you to correct your English. You know, as a journalist, English should be your forte. You are a bit like a bad plumber who does not know how to put a pipe together properly.
I quote: Now a controversial author herself, it is a toss up between who is the more hated – him or her – by the Islamic world.
Who is the more hated - he or she - by the Islamic world.

In ordinary English, when you ask a question, you ask: Who is she, not who is her?
Similarly, when one speaks of persons in the objective, one does not speak of them as subjective but as objective.
For instance: She was waiting for Bill and I. This is the new way of speaking [and writing]. If you removed Bill from the sentence, would you say: She was waiting for I?
Pay attention to our language, Anita. You are just a little too cute with the grammar.

Watching John Howard grow up

Watching John Howard this morning reminded me how dehumanising is the work of such a man. This sentence can be taken in two ways; Howard dehumanises others as he tends to the needs of his constituents, or, Howard himself is increasingly dehumanised as he divides and spoils his constituency.

The spirit of power and the machinations of retaining power possess the man. By constantly reminding us that he primarily serves his party Howard is perceived as divisive. He puts his party ahead of others who are not of his party, and by extension, who remain irrelevant to his purview other than to facilitate his hold on power.

Howard lies. This disconnectedness that helps Howard deliver his savagely dishonest lies betrays the inherent disloyalty our Prime Minister has for Australia’s populations. He feels no qualms about lying constantly to us. As long as it serves the interests of the Coaltion Howard feels justified in lying to the Australian public.

Such a man had a beginning. It was long ago, in the days when sandwiches and pies were served at tuckshops. His Mum and Dad were sort of decent people who somehow gave birth to John. It wasn’t their fault. They didn’t know how he’d turn out. They went ahead and brought him up as well as they could. Sent little Johnny to Sunday School and taught him that size didn’t matter.

Unfortunately for John, size did matter.

John Howard learned at an early age to stand his ground and look the victim. His nascent bushy eyebrows gave his squinty blue eyes a hurt that withered the bully. It is the next best thing to tears. A bully keeps taunting the victim until submission empowers the bully. Howard’s look of hurt was surrogate submission that beguiled others into deleting their attack on him. You didn’t want to be caught inflicting pain upon the cowardly eyes of the vanquished. Besides, Howard was a runt, a nobody of consequence, to be ignored.

Howard relied upon his size.

Surrender to the inevitable thrashing was not an option Howard would ever take. John saw no sense in braving it out in face of inevitable defeat. So he developed that look that got him out of the firing line, so to speak. It was a look that told people he was a wimp, a callow coward and would never become a threat to others. It instructed others to hold him in contempt. Howard relied upon his size to belie the cunning and malevolent image of himself that was growing with each passing moment.

When little John Howard committed his first major sin he relied upon his runty appearance to get him out of trouble. He simply squinted miserably, whined in that dreadful fashion of his, and denied everything. It was to be a method by which he served the Australian people for more than thirty unfortunate years.
The sin happened while John Howard was a young student at a Sydney school. He was not a noble looking human being. Quite the contrary; he was, in the normal view of things, ugly. His voice was ugly and his temper was ugly. None liked little John Howard. Many had been at the end of a whipping because he had informed on them. He enjoyed telling his teachers of the misbehaviour of his classmates.

John Howard doing crime against Australians?

John Howard has authorised the spending of a massive $1.7bn of our money on advertising what his Liberal/Coalition government has spent our money on. Now I might be stupid but spending money to tell us how they are spending money is quirky. After the $2.9bn Defence stuffup; after Amanda's $70000 Chinese lessons [they said she was not a great student] so that she could go to Rome; after the AWB's illegal use of our money as gifts to Saddam; after $300m wasted on Manus Island and Nauru; after $650m wasted on Woomera and Baxter detention centres; and the dirty money list goes on and on and on ... our John wants to waste more money telling us why Work Choices is anathema as nomenclature; and they sent that hapless bloke to gaol for swiping a few bucks from Centrelink! What about Howard? Isn't what he is doing a crime against us, the ordinary Australians?

Your comment has been published: There is some misconception by political commentators that the economy is the main determinant of voters' intentions this Federal Election. The Telegraph poll confirms that matters of ethics and morality have a large part to play in the formation of voters' intentions. Howard's deceitful politics and the contemptuous manner of big spending to secure yet another Coalition victory have not been well received by the electorate and all the money waved under the noses of voters should be spent on more deserving projects, rather than on Coalition aspirations.
