Optical illusions

Brendan Nelson Top ScumOnce again, it is clear who is little Johnny’s main priority, and it isn’t the long-suffering Whorestralian people.

While the Rodent gang attack the Opposition over a mooted $4.7b spend on upgrading broadband access in Australia, including to rural areas, there has been a complete lack of fiduciary restraint on the part of Brendan Nelson in sneakily acquiring overpriced, already outdated yank military surplus to the tune of $6b. The plan has been “lashed by critics as an expensive buy”. Team Rodent’s latest fetishist foibles, the 24 Super Hornets are

designed to plug any gap in air defences that may develop between the retirement of the ageing but potent F-111 and the arrival of the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter (JSF), which Australian companies have been involved in developing.

The plan bypasses the two-pass review process introduced after the Kinnaird report on Defence procurement, with critics saying the purchase is politically motivated and inconsistent with Defence capability plans.

The Super Hornet buying frenzy is the precursor for more costly errors for Australia and windfall gains for United Stupids military corporations:

Like Summer Tempests Came His Tears

Santoro Resignation

O, Ratty!’ he cried. “I’ve been through such times since I saw you last, you can’t think! Such trials, such sufferings, and all so nobly borne! Then such escapes, such disguises such subterfuges, and all so cleverly planned and carried out! Been in prison–got out of it, of course! Been thrown into a canal– swam ashore! Stole a horse–sold him for a large sum of money! Humbugged everybody–made ’em all do exactly what I wanted! Oh, I AM a smart Toad, and no mistake! What do you think my last exploit was? Just hold on till I tell you—-“

The public deserve to know exactly what shares Santaro had on his register when Nutt, from Ratty’s department, told him to change them to investing to trading, what sales and purchases he actually did in the 12 months preceding December 06 and which were recorded on his register.

Howard’s dread locked holiday

Howard on HolidaysLabor Party supporters will be grinning from ear to ear today. With

the rodent’s electoral prospects have never looked bleaker. To top it off, there are accusations that David Hicks was sedated before being told of the last dodgy charges against him. Hick’s lawyer in the federal case against the Whorestralian gobblement is intimating the ratbag gang may be hauled into court.

The legal action, which is due to begin in May, argues that the Government breached its duty of care to Hicks by not demanding the US Government release him from Guantanamo Bay as other countries had done with their citizens.

Hicks’s lawyer, David McLeod, told the ABC that besides the Prime Minister, Attorney-General Philip Ruddock and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer could also be called to the witness box.

Mr McLeod said most of the evidence for the case would be agreed to without the need to call witnesses before the trial went ahead.

“If it can’t be agreed, then there will be a request for certain witnesses and it may well include Mr Downer and Mr Ruddock and indeed Mr Howard as potential witnesses,” Mr McLeod said.

To highlight his dire plight for the past five years, Amnesty International is exhibiting a reconstruction of Hicks’ Guantanamo cell at Martin Place in Sydney. People experiencing the conditions of Hicks’ inhumane incarceration have described their reactions as “traumatising”.

IT consultant Nikki Lee, 33, said it was a surreal experience stepping inside the replica cell, which includes a short bunk bed, a narrow window and a stainless steel toilet and wash basin.

“It’s very small and quite terrifying really to imagine spending that much time in there,” she said.

“It makes it more real and unreal at the same time because it doesn’t seem that this could happen to someone who has not committed a crime.”

Fitted with a security camera on which people can record their thoughts, the art vérité exhibition will soon tour to other states.

We’ll be leaving a strong message of disgust when the wardrobe-sized room visits Queensland. Wonder how many people have already expressed their wish for the ratbags to trade places with Hicks?

Pynes and Needles

Those who bleat loudest about a religio-political need to control other folks’ privates quite often seem to conceal hypocritical naughty and sometimes illegal self-indulgences. Consider the burgeoning congregation of disgraced loony TVangelists and shamed Catholic clergy of recent years.

Replete with hallmark reactionary political stances on law and order, indigenous rights and people’s bodies, particularly women’s bodies, Santoro and Pyne share a taste for the hysterical holy rolling vigilante vice squad.

TONY JONES: Chris Pyne, do you believe in God?

CHRISTOPHER PYNE, LIBERAL MEMBER FOR TRUST: I do, actually, fervently.

TONY JONES: So what do you think the view of God would be towards an apology, a formal apology towards Aboriginal Australians?

CHRISTOPHER PYNE: I think the first thing is that God is always on everyone’s side, Tony.

That’s why he’s been so popular for so long, so for anyone to suggest that God is not on a particular person’s side I think misses the point, and I’m surprised that a prolate of the church would have such a view.

It lends itself more to the political bear pit than it does to the pulpit.

TONY JONES: I think you might have missed the question, though.

I mean, the question was, if you do believe in God, do you think God would have a view about whether there should or should not be a formal apology to Aboriginal people?

CHRISTOPHER PYNE: No, I don’t think God would presume to mettle in the politics of Australia or any other country.

Notwithstanding that Pyne and other wowserish fundoids indulge in this sordid political ‘mettling’ constantly on the supposed behalf of the object of their worship, the oblivious Pyne brazenly exposes himself:

I have been praying to God every year for my re-election.

So far he’s rewarded me, so I am assuming he’s on my side, which must make him a Liberal.

Pyne, the ‘junior woodchuck’, has been enlisted by the rodent to investigate Santoro. Given their shared predilections and support base, we don’t expect anything less than the shameless whitewash predicted by Wayne Swan.
