Australia has always been recognised for its uniqueness of identity – a country of great wealth, diverse cultures, and a strong commitment to egalitarian values.
Hi Graeme - yea there is fear my friend. A Dutton government would be a disaster for Australia and it would set us down a terrible path of ruination. Albo is the better of two imbeciles and that's not saying much, although Albo is more of a humanitarian than Skull Murphy is. If you have a look at the anti-Semitism laws he is trying to enact should he win office along with selling Australia out to the Israeli lobby, then you. an get your bottom dollar, Australia's egalitarian values and identity will be lost and the abyss of darkness will await us, as we join the darkness of evil that has encapsulated Israel, the US and UK. Aussies don't want that.
Yes he does brother. How are you Michael? Dutton is the real life version of that evil bald-headed character "The Hood" from the Thunderbirds - in looks and intent.
May be Australia was that example you introduced, but it's not since many, many years. Covid measures were not any different from other fascist behavior countries from US to EU.
That Australia is over, sorry.
Once for all? Djokovic treatment during Covid and even now during Melbourne ATP!... ridiculous. A great player, a great person, always honest and straight, not playing a role like many of the western sport hemisphere, attacked continuously by Australian squalid journalists that did even made jokes on Serbian fans. Ops, I forgot, Serbia is on Russia side, so Australian hate Russians as Uncle Sam asked them to...
Once it was, now anymore. Give yourself a reason. It's a shame I know, but that's what Australia has been doing in the last at least 20 years. Doubt is a Trumpian problem there...
Yeah, number one lapdog worldwide. A pathetic society now defined by casual cruelty and celebrity worship. All that matters is The Last Word - no matter what it takes to get it in.
Hi George, I always look forward to reading and liking your work. But am I detecting fear in this piece? Almost a desperate desire for Labor to rise and fulfil an imaginary mythical destiny? I would truly love to support this ideal, sadly it is more fantasy than reality. I do think we have good reason to fear a Dutton premiership. It would certainly accelerate our move deeper into the imperium and its terrifying plans for this continent and inhabitants (and the world at large). It is likely that National Service is uppermost in Dutton’s grab-bag of treats once the idea has been made palatable by more egregious propaganda. Whether they broadcast it or not, the next election will be a competition to see who can offer the biggest sacrifice to our overlords and then be rewarded for selling us out. So, to me, putting my chips on Labor's side of the crap table is a bit like backing the Dems in the US. It’s playing to their malignant agenda.
Much of your lauding of Australia is a positivist review of our potentials which have rarely been met. And when met, successes have been achieved outside the farcical political theatre, often despite it, and far away in the commons. Not that it ever stops the voices of authority appropriating the narrative and stealing credibility. A truly socialist point of view would expose Albanese’s commitment to preserving Australia’s junior partnership with the grotesquely violent, megalomaniac empire while maintaining its own hubristic, imperialist hegemony in the Pacific and south Asia (always the basis of our relationships and our settler-colonial history).
The opportunities for the Australian government to step up and show some independent statesmanship of late have been prolific. But Albanese has continually fallen at the gates. He signed on to AUKUS. He runs in fear and fails to take on the right wing-controlled media. He does not engage collaboratively with the union movement or facilitate its growth as a bulwark against global techno-feudalism. He fawns over his elevation to the rat-pack in Washington. He did not call out structural racism and blatant discrimination during the referendum nor allow the debate to be moderated by voices of indigenous wisdom. He did not own up to Australia’s squalid record on indigenous rights. He has abandoned the environment. He did not embrace the full implications of Australia's responsibilities to implement International Human Rights, the Geneva Convention, or the Charter to Prevent and Punish Genocide. He is unwilling to call out weaponised antisemitism or to protect Australia’s Islamic community. His moments came and went while he danced to the tune of Old Dixie. I will never support Labor or Albanese’s personal hypocrisy and flagrant sycophancy. Let’s face it, a strong and determined leader wouldn’t last five minutes, even if they ever had the opportunity to become a candidate. All are effectively ‘vetted.’ If you do get a jersey but happen to go ‘off script,’ you get the Whitlam treatment.
Democracy my arse. The whole thing is a charade. Sleight of hand and twiddling thumbs while Albanese hands a little more grease to neoliberals and tilts the stage so the Overton Window slides steadily to the right, just where we all need to be, so we swallow the lurid filth fed to us by the barbarous criminals who tell us what to think and do. If we get a decent outcome from the calamities approaching, it won’t be due to Labor political acuity or moral integrity.
Sorry to be so gloomy. But solutions are not within the scope of establishment politics. If there are any, they are latent in a yet-to-be-informed community.
How we had hoped the post 1945 Liberal paradigm would turn out hasn't come true.
Liberalism has ultimately atomised us and reduced our ancestral homelands to just economic zones run in the interests of international finance and oligarchy.
Immigration is a classic example. The Merchant Class hasn't invested in robotics, technology, training or increased pay and conditions but gone for cheap/mass immigration.
The Left should of been in a strong position as Capitalism fails but they have embraced Hypa Liberalism and the open borders Globalisation project ( driven by international finance capitalism ) and have no solutions.
You can't beat the deal!
It used to be popular to impersonate Elvis. Now these bland, pathetic wanna-be-important men are lining up to imitate Trump! Zero originality!
Peel the expensive hair piece off President's skull and do like our fave band of 80's Bay Area Wage Slaves did:

It would be funny if they all turned orange.

He gives alternative meaning to "down under".
I'm sure it would have been received well. Would have had everyone jumping!!
Yes it would.
Yes he does brother. How are you Michael? Dutton is the real life version of that evil bald-headed character "The Hood" from the Thunderbirds - in looks and intent.

Are u sure?

The West is in late stage Liberalism.

Go Dutton 🙂
