ABC/media coup in Australia

Slimeball Turnbull installed as PM
“Turnbull is stealing the job he could not have won, using policy weapons he could not have designed and boasting of a communication ability he does not have to head a party he cannot unite…”         Bolt

    First Britain and now Australia makes a hard Left turn…Like the Bard said, “Something wicked this way comes.”http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_negative.gif

      Not ‘Australia’ but a small group of self-interested politicians, who will be going before the voters sometime within the next 12-18 months.

    Abbott has only himself to blame for this coup.

    When he didn’t deal decisively with the maggot Turnbull after the last failed attempt, he enabled Turnbull to bide his time and launch another at the least opportune moment. It would have been far harder from the back benches (or even better, the cross benches) than from inside Cabinet.

    Abbott’s capitulation on the repeal of the vile s16C of the Racial Discrimination Act, his back-down on the Border Force operation to check the identities of people and ensure they are, in fact, legally eligible to be in the country, his failure to get any of his spending reduction measures through the goat-rodeo Senate, his failure to sell his successes (the notable exception being boats), putting Turnbull in charge of fixing NBN and ABC (both of which Turnbull had a vested interest in keeping just exactly as they are), all painted a picture of a weak leader. I know he isn’t, but he’s been getting some very, very bad advice from somewhere.

      Watch for the slow, steady rise of some of the more “nationalist” parties in the lead-up to the next federal election.

      Interesting times.

        A consternation devoutly to be wished.

        I cheer the advances of those fine fellow in Europe but I’m sure the progress in Australia will be as it is in Europe. Yearly advance by millimeters. I never will understand why people with a modicum of wakefulness fail to pull the lever for a completevolte face. I mean, at what point does it become obvious that it’s all headed the wrong way?

        Enoch knew it when he saw the first ships offloading immigrants from the Caribbean that something was amiss. Even London’s turning into a Muslim city doesn’t seem to register with the slumbering majority. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

        I recently had an English friend sever relations with me for patently dishonest reasons. She’s elderly so I’ve not pressed her for her views on mass immigration (or politics in general) but I made a passing reference to it in the American context to see if she would offer an opinion on the current onslaught. No request that she comment, just mentioned it.

        The response was to say goodbye and good luck because a new “[health problem]” would make it impossible to keep up correspondence. It made no sense at all and I can only speculate that my otherwise friendly and chatty last email had included that reference to mass immigration. Admittedly there is extreme old age at work here but, if I’m correct, there was an almost hysterical distancing herself from this verboten subject. (I think there is also some paranoia about government monitoring of email as well, which I saw in prior correspondence of a few years back.)

        So, not only are people slow to change their worldview (there are no problem, there are no problems) but there may be a very acute awareness of the problems but an hysterical effort to distance oneself from a highly charged and threatening reality that they understand only all to well rather than a resolve to take some kind of action. People are perhaps way more invested in the mental zone they’ve marked off for themselves than we realize.

        The idea that I’m just an insufferable dork is, of course, just ridiculous.

          Oh yes. That’s a profound and important truth.
          Because if they acknowledge reality, then their apathy in the face of it would harm their self-esteem, wouldn’t it?
          Creeping intimations of cowardice and laziness in oneself can never be pleasant…..

            Comfortably numb.

            How many years of that would you trade the inevitable beheading of your family for?

            Fuck those assholes. When push comes to shove I will personally turf them into islamistan for the muzzos to do with as they will.

            History will not hold us guiltless. To do nothing is to do something. To remain silent is to speak.

          • Col. Bunny says:

            Sorry I have to report that I got it wrong on my friend.

            The point is still a good one about people being frightened to face the implications of ideas that conflict with their worldview but this anecdote is not evidence of that. My friend’s unhappiness was over a joke I made that was beyond innocuous in my considered opinion but it was such as to make her want to deep six a rather pleasant friendship.

            Historical record corrected.

  3. Yokel says:

    Well, Abbott had to go. How possibly could Australia have a leader who defended his country? Clearly he was not “on message” and had to be deposed by a traitor so that Australia could be just like every other Western nation.

    Abbott’s erstwhile handlers will of course be having their invitations for treatment at the Lubyanka Hospital personally delivered by couriers who do not take kindly to a “no” for an answer. It is possible that the handlers will be discovered to be suffering from Polonium-210 poisoning soon after arrival.

    On the 33rd comment page.

    I’d almost been conned into once again having faith in the political system.

    Thank Christ Turnbull has knocked some sense into me.

    Once again and for all time, the 45-70 is the only government I trust any more.

    I guess they didn’t can it because they don’t know what it means. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_unsure.gif

      Well said, Wombat…

      Today’s revolutionist is yesterday’s conservative who has been mugged by reality.

        http://www.jack-donovan.com/axis/2011/03/violence-is-golden/

        The Will of We The People in all the so-called “Free World” means nothing of our various governments – and elections, petitions demonstrations and letters to the editor fail ….

        REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY OPTION:

        “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

        We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”
