As a God- Fearing Queenslander Kev was brought up to know ‘Right from Wrong’.
Dear reader, hot on the heels of the ‘ Five-Eyes” Defense Treaty between the UK, the U.S, India, Japan and Australia.
‘The Four-Eye’s’ Agreement, in which we send our arguably other ‘greatest yet PM’, (Kev Rudd in his own opinion) to Washington, to give it to the septic’s, (Septic Tank-Yanks).
He never let his ‘ Brainey-ness” get in the way of his high opinion of himself.
The ‘Three Eyes Agreement‘ in which we agreed to buy a nuclear submarine and have it operational in the year 2525 as a joint venture with the septic’s (‘Yanks’) and the poms, (‘Pommy Bastards’).
and the ‘Two Eyes Directive’, where the Capn. commands the first mate; ‘Up that mizzen or I’ll keel haul your lubberly carcass’! We go past the ‘One Eye Defense Arrangement’ between Collingwood supporters, and the ‘Brown Eye Protocol’ in which we give a rear- end salute to hypocrisy. Frank comes to us with an Eyeful of metaphorical and literal Eyes.
So keep your ears pinned as he gives it to you in stereoscopic vision, surround-sound and optics, courtesy of the last Chinese weather balloon that just happened to be passing by.

His ‘ FOUR EYES” gave him nigh SUPER-HUMAN POWERS!
G’day,
The Warlpiri word for ‘eye’ is ‘milpa’ . That tour de force, the new Warlpiri Encyclopaedic Dictionary, devotes five small print pages to how the word is used. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who is aware of how ‘eyes’ and ‘seeing’ are used in countless ways in any language.
Take the Spanish exhortation ¡Ojo! which Google Translate lamely renders as the English ‘Eye!’ It means to be on the alert, to be on your qui vive. And then there are the Parliamentary ‘eye, eye’ and ‘the eyes have it’ Only checking to see if you’re paying attention. See what I mean?
First. Off his own Bat, he solved Homelessness in just one outdoor sleeping bag session!
Then there are ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ and seeing the world through ‘rose coloured glasses’ . I behold Yuendumu to be a beautiful place and have been accused of seeing it through rose coloured glasses. Guilty as charged. At least I don’t buy the negative preconceptions, ignorant assumptions, stereotypes, and opportunistic propaganda.
Then there is the eye of the storm: Alice Springs and its crime wave and the divisive discussion on how it should be dealt with. It would be nice if the shifty eyed politicians eyeing electoral opportunity, would discard their eye for an eye paradigm and came to the table with an eye on harmony and consensus.
As long as “The eyes only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend” (Henry Bergen), the Alice Springs situation will remain an unresolvable conundrum.
Oh, if only the several sections of Alice Springs society were prepared to look through each other’s eyes.
