Sorry darlings for not posting all year. Life got in the way and quite frankly politics got boring.
The lesson learnt from this year is expect the unexpected.
Quick recap. We have had three prime ministers this year. Rudd came back and toppled Gillard. Put the knife in, but like the murder on the orient express, his stab probably wasn’t the one that ended up political life. Sexism is alive and well. Decent, but simple, friends of mine called her a bitch and hated her? For what? Doing her job and putting in plans that benefit them? Not me, them!
Tony Abbott is PM thanks to the alp internal politics, Rupert Murdoch’s divorce from Wendi and his decision to still call Australia his spiritual home. Rupert’s renewed interest in Oz also has something to do with the fact the Brits hate him for phone hacking the Royals.
But let’s stop the hate and look at their record. Oh we can’t because there is a media black out.
Rumors have it that. Ausaid has been cut, more mining deals struck with Gina, more boats arriving and people being sent off to tent land in third world countries. Yes we will shove our problems onto the developing world. Most criminal of all is bringing out ol John Howard and getting him to deny climate change.
i can understand why people voted for the lnp. The alp seemed as if it was a mess! But you guys were duped by the libs and the media. Take the blue pill, or is it red, see the world for what it is. Although I get why we can’t do that. We need some blinkers on. Even if you hate your neighbour and that bogan down the street because you are a aspirational snob or born with a silver spoon in your mouth (your poor mother)… I guess Abbott started life as a ten pound pom. David Cameron is an aristocrat, a descendent of the King’s bastard line, so there is no chip on his shoulder. He understands “noblesse oblige”. Oh the old rich. So much better looking than the nouveau riche.
Abbott defenders in the medical field have wondered if he is autistic. This is giving him too much credit. Like all the hopeful wrote, let’s give Tony a chance. How bad can he get? He is not the man he was when he said all those stupid things. To his credit the silence has made those who are less skeptical believe that we have competent, selfless politicians working for the good of the common people. The problem is no one thinks they are common anymore and people, people who would benefit from alp policies, are voting themselves into poverty.
Ozpolichix would like to congratulate those who can afford a good private school education, excellent health insurance, their third investment property, mining shares, uranium shares, a bit of outback land that is resource rich, Gina and daughter, Rupert and family, the coal industry and serco- making lots of money out of incarceration.
On the upside, maybe we will get some decent political satire in this country. I hope so because once Tanya becomes PM the whole affair will be too dignified.
You know you love me xoxo
