Dear reader,
Another gripping insight from our correspondent from the distant north Frank, who’s solemn duty is to inform us minute by minute of the unfolding crisis enveloping those “wretched’ communities of the far flung interior. ‘Not even the myriad NGO”s and Government agencies working in these communities seem able to divert a disaster now’, (Sky News). ‘And the future is exceedingly grim for those people CUT-OFF from the rest of AUSTRALIA’, (ABC News)
More compelling than the P.M’s heartfelt response to women who have been bullied, harassed and sexually insulted in our nations parliament, and more epoch making than Kevin Rudd’s apologies to the stolen generations, For as we well know in each instance, nothing ever really changes.
But let’s not let cynicism have its way. In a patriarchal culture why shouldn’t women be both seen and sometimes under the grace of Parliament be heard? That’s what a fully functioning non corruption or integrity agency type government is all about. And besides, isn’t justice meant to be blind. In that we trust. A Blind trust? Poke your eyes out if they aint Christian Values? We’ll need more than a Porter to carry that through the public conversation. Best not talk about it. Where were we? Oh yes another message from Frank. Now pay attention, (attention is not listed in the Digest of Parliamentary Lobbyists) and LISTEN!
He (Frank) writes….
Just a quick one,
It could have been worse- the shelves had one item- toilet rolls!
