Dear reader,
another un, from our scribe of the North-West Frontier.
there is no doubt,. If we hadn’t bought the F 1 11 we’d be all speaking Indonesian.
A man who LIVES ALONE!
A man who won’t be compromised.
Won’t be compromised by Fridge Magnets.
By Shiny medals.
Or a well meant, but skewed editorial by the ‘Catholic Boys Daily’ (The Australian).
Or the promise of Glory.
Shiny medals.
Or; the glory of Anzackery’s finest anointment. A V.C!
To be worn gloriously.
If we hadn’t bought the F 1 11 we’d all be commie.
And evoke the eternal flame of those who have fallen.
Gloriously.
So that we may have the bounty of Sportsbet 24/7 and Housing non- affordability and those who lift and not lean from PWC.
And a note of caution. Frank is questioning the wisdom of F1 11’s in the sixties. That according to the wisdom of Anzackery is apostacy.
Frank writes thus;
Good moaning (remember ‘Allo’ ‘Allo’?)
Lined up side by side. It kept the Russians at bay
There is a well known adage “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys”
When it comes to our politicians in Australia we pay pistachios and macadamias and we still get monkeys.
In the late 50s the highest paid job during the summer school vacations was stacking hay. It paid ten shillings an hour. Yet another job swallowed up by automation. These days a machine spits out huge weatherproof round bales wrapped in a plastic franger. To put that ten shillings into context, at any corner milk bar you could buy a crayfish for eight shillings. Then some bright spark relabelled our crayfish “Australian Rock Lobsters” despite the absence of claws. Almost overnight crayfish disappeared from milk bar display counters. The whole cray catch was exported to the United States.
And kept us on-side with the septic tanks !
What did we get in return? A wing on an F111 fighter jet!

The latest from that dog whistle virtuoso, our illustrious leader of the opposition, is that he wants ‘work for the dole’ brought back. In true Joseph Goebbels style, the fact that ‘work for the dole’ never went away doesn’t bother him. Never let facts get in the way of scoring political points.
Disingenuous is a word which describes much of what we do in Australia.
In Yuendumu I suspect that the cost of the CDP jobs provider setup is greater than the total paid out to work for the dole participants.
And before that, on-side with the Frogs. Was our relationship with the Frogs just a mirage?
And don’t get me started on nuclear submarines.
