More Mud !!
A bricklayer friend called the mortar he used to lay bricks, “mud”. When he was running out, he simply called for ‘more mud’. Abbott must have tried to be a bricklayer at some time in his life, or is it normal practice for him to issue orders to his dirt team for ‘more mud’ to sling at the Labour Government.
Of course he has no solution to the problem he makes out is there, he simply says to the voters, metaphorically, of course:-
“ Trust me, all you voters,
I’m Sam,
the used car man.
I’ll sell you any kind of car
that I bloody can.
It will be the best car you’ve had
since labour came to power.
There is no need to test it out,
or look inside,
believe me, it’ll all work out.
Trust me, I am Sam,
The famous used car man. ”
I wonder who will actually see Mr Abbott’s latest booklet on Government waste. No one ??
By the way Tony, how is it that your office expenses are far greater than those of the PM??
Did you include, in your booklet on waste. “Un-necessary office expense claims from the Opposition?” or “Unwarranted expense claims for self promotion of the Opposition leader” or “exhorbitant expences for Polly Peddling antics” or -- no the list is too long for this blog.
I see that the mainstream media is still at it, manipulating the political news. It would be a tragedy for Murdock’s media empire to manoeuvre the voting at September’s election to his way of thinking. Sadly, he may do exactly that, if we, the voters are not very careful.
Abbott, Pyne and Company are in dire straits with legal proceedings already filed against them. But you would have to look hard in the media to find where such details are made public. Of course, IF it were Labour members facing the same legal proceedings there would be massive headlines about it.
Nowhere in the mainstream media will you find any mention of how Abbott is ripping off the taxpayer on a daily basis with his Polly Pedalling antics. He’s claiming lots of money as he ’does his bit for charity’. He did it last year too. Mr Abbott does not miss a single opportunity to fill his wallet from the public purse, and, what enrages me is that the so-called Parliamentary oversight committee lets him get away with it, time after time.
The Media Moguls want a Coalition Government simply because only the Coalition would give them the financial control of this nations finances. They want to be in Charge of everything and one way of doing that without a shooting war is to control the country’s financial situation. They have done this in the European Union, and some countries are now completely at the mercy of the money lenders. Ireland, Cyprus, Greece, and so on. This is corrupt world politics on a massive scale.
Fortunately for Australia, the voters dumped Howard at just the right time. Abbott is from the same mould as Howard, he wants to be a powerful figure, with the backing of the big boys from overseas, and he will do almost anything to achieve that power. He doesn’t realise that when he has done what they want, they will dump him out of hand, he is simply not good management material.
Management needs committed workers for the ‘cause’, not for self. Abbott has no cause at all; he simply looks after himself as best he is able. So far, so good, but if the shit hits the fan, he will be removed, he is expendable.
The cracks appearing in the Coalition: ie- Backbenchers disagreeing with the Paid Parental Leave scheme, are an indication of those cracks. Abbott dismisses them with a casual –“They will fall into line” statement. Does Abbott control the whole coalition like a dictator would? I think he is a bit over the top myself, those members have a valid right to speak out according to their own consciences, that’s what they were elected for.
While the Coalition is putting down the duly elected Government, and making empty promises about what they will do if elected, the Labour Government is getting on with the business of Governing the Country. I do believe that some of the legislation that has been passed could have been altered slightly to get a better result for the community at large, but the Opposition has not scrutinised the legislation as it should have, they have been too busy campaigning for the September election. Officially, campaigning for the coming election has not started yet, and, for the Government at least, it is business as usual.
It’s a shame the Coalition does not get on with the business of Government until the Writs for the election have been issued.

It's national Volunteer Week, and I believe in doing something for others simply because I can. Also I make a lot of new friends every time. This poem says it for the volunteers, the real ones, not the asthmatic old buggers like me.

Go on, get off your bum and go do something for others. The worst thing that can happen is that you will make a lot of new friends. Yes, that’s right, make new friends, lots of them. You will never meet these new friends any other way because your lifestyle and theirs are so far apart. But when you volunteer, you have something in common immediately.
Age is no barrier, you can do something for others at any age at all. It is a shame that more young people do not volunteer, they have so much to offer, apart from a friendly ear to hear stories of sadness and heartbreak, and they have youthful exhuberance to give, heaps of it

PLOP
[Poetic Life of Parliament] Just a bit of rhyme written about our current Federal Government over the least few years. I include the Opposition as part of that Government although they have not earned their salaries with any contribution to th Governance of our country, not even scrutiny of the many pieces of legislation passed by the Labour Govt.
Of course this stuff is merely my opinion, and who am I other than a voter
