An actor FFS! Of all the deserving candidates, this slimeball was chosen!
A shameful choice, and here’s a clue:
‘..AUSTRALIAN of the Year Geoffrey Rush urged local writers to tell the stories of asylum seekers who try to make the perilous journey to Australia by boat.
The multi-award winning actor on Wednesday was named Australian of the Year at a ceremony outside Parliament House in Canberra in front of a 10,000-strong crowd, including Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
Mr Rush, 60, said there was a role for the arts to provide perspective on issues such as climate change and gay marriage…’
All clear now? The propaganda machine is being dialed up to Warp Factor Five ahead of the commie Welsh cow being kicked out, and a cretinous egomaniac – who has an ability to memorize lines and pretend to be someone else – is the perfect mouthpiece for the left’s pet causes.
Obviously a few sequins short of a tutu. Christ almighty!
“to provide perspective” eh..what the hell does that mean? That he’s a closet fucking climatologist or something?
Had a laff reading Michael Connor’s “Australia Day Hate List” at quadrant.org.au. Very good. About the only person of interest not mentioned was KG.
Hmmmm…note to self..must try harder!
Thanks for the Quadrant addy, Mara. They have some great stuff there.
You want perspective on climate change and gay marriage bucko?
I’ll give you some perspective to help clear up your confusion
It’s the same perspective as from a patch of grass viewed upwards towards a bull’s arse.
Just shows how Australian the award is these days.
Yeah. Not very.
Australia used to be a NATION of heroes.
What’s to stop the willing from flying an Aussie flag on their vehicles every day? Why just Aust. day? I have had a NZ flag on mine since the RWC and there it will stay.
I loved all those flags! So many of them in heaps of cars, of all sorts of nationalities during the World Cup. Don’t see any one still using them.
Lucia Maria, so your flag is still flying on your car?
Mara,
No, never had any. I did wonder where people got them from. Where did you get yours from, Mara?
Lucia Maria, I live in Auckland, near Dominion Road where every thing, and I mean everything that you may , or may not want, is at hand. Err, so?
Sorry Lucia, my comment was impolite. Please drop the “err so?” Thank you.
Hi Mara,
No offence taken!
I’m in a small place not even big enough to be classified as a city, so knowing where things can be got from is important.
Lucia Maria. I probably have too much time on my hands but I reckon I could google up an elephant or a couple of french hens for your back yard with no difficulty. Should either appeal, just let me know. A small consideration may be applied in the elephant scenario but the french hens service is free.
