“Please sir can I have some more”?

“Rupert says”.  Actually Rupert doesn’t even need to say anymore. It just happens.

You’ve gotta hand it to Lord Rupert. Though he’s Lord over every living thing in the western world, owns the U.K, U.S and Australian body politic outright, he’s still got time for the odd bit of games-manship.

Not happy with receiving the 127 million of taxpayer hard earned to save channel 10 he gets a gift of 30 million from the Federal Government to promote niche sports.

WE NEED more niche sport coverage.

Better still, he gets the 30 mil, no questions asked because it’s just a continuum of what Rupert as the biggest rent-seeker ever is used to. And he doesn’t even need to ask.

Mitch Fifield. Inheritor of a great tradition in the ARTS.

Better still, the Arts and Communications Minister, Mitch Fifield, hands it over. No due diligence, no competitive tendering, no business plan. And some people are crook on the government for this. How mental is that?. There’s no need for due process cos at the end of the day, you might as well hand it to Rupert one way or another. And you wanna know why? Cos he’ll get it anyway.

You see Rupert knows all about the trickle down effect. And it works. You get a swag of money siphoned off taxpayers in three countries and you let the coins trickle down to a few poliies, Works every time. You can bypass silly democracy, the parliament and the intractable senate, and you get a result. Tell ya mate, ‘Punting is for Mugs’. Rupert’s got all the numbers and he plays a straight hand. That’s more that you can say for any Saint Tone, Corey and Kev.

And, this is the disgusting part, there’s the ABC, whose meant to represent, ( they have a charter) niche sports and stuff, and they’re compatriots of the SBS, and Screen Australia. They’re screaming. Can’t see the humour. .Soft cocks!.

Sir Leslie Patterson OAM. THe tradition began with him!

They just got a 400 million cut. So it’s hard cheese for em. And that’s where Mitch is up to the mark. That 30 million would have just gone to bureaucrats. Whereas, with Rupert getting it, it’ll go direct to the right kinda people. And it’s a nuanced vertical integration. They’ll get a tax cut and a kickback all in one package. With Rupert’s mob in the ABC, it just short circuits the process. And that’s an efficiency. That’s what comes with Privatisation. As easy as saying “ABC”.

And if it went to Screen Australia, it would be just spent on films about “Us”. No one is interested in films about ‘US’. Rupert’s got a handle on that also, He does films in the US of A. And they all have happy endings. Last time we looked Screen Australia did films on Aborigines and poverty, and they were all bloody depressing . No one wants to be a wet rag. Rupert gets it, Mitch gets it, and Malcolm, knows that there’s only way to get results and that’s send it through the right channels. That’s what Dame Elizabeth did too, it’s really philanthropy, and provides choice. And a tax break. That’s what makes the world go round.

I beg your pardon. That’s Rupert’s job.
