Larissa, the FOREIGNER resigns. We suspect the man behind her has a ” foreign sounding name”.
Congratulations must be forwarded to the Australian Greens for their excellent efforts in recycling.
Two senators, perhaps as described by some observers, the two best in the Australian parliament have been rendered ineligible because of their “foreign-ness. Not only were they top performing , but they were foreign. Does this tell us something about the Australian body politic?
Scott Ludlum. In to the recycling bin.
Indeed it does, Foreign people are no good. They’re full of dangerous ideas. Dangerous ideas not filtered by Australian values. This lack of filtration makes them unreliable as policy makers. And positions them as TROUBLEMAKERS. They question the core values within Australian society of smugness, intolerance, insecurity and deep fear. Often, and this is a common mistake, they see principle as important, and some amongst them do not see political life as a key to a network of sinecures, kick-backs and endorsements from the big end of town.
Lee Rhiannon. Rejected from the recycling bin.
According to eminent psephologist Anthony Green; ‘They do not get the importance of party donations from anonymous international backers, and they just don’t understand that elected senators are not here to support the people. They’re here to work for corporations. This is the problem at the core of the Greens, they’re fairies at the bottom of the ideological garden cos they just don’t get the corporate dollar. And when push comes to shove they’ll get ahead of themselves and stymie a carbon tax as they did in 2009. It’s either Green on Green or Green on Red. And you know if you mix your green with your red as any five year old will tell you it’s POO BROWN. And I gotta tell you, it’s messy.
Peter Dutton. Unrecyclable as neither hard nor organic rubbish.
On hand to offer his informed opinion, the leader of the new MDFI ( Ministry of Deep Fear and Insecurity) Peter Dutton had the following observation: ’With the resignation of perhaps the best performing senators in the Federal Parliament it proves just one thing: The impact of UFB’s , (Unsavoury Foreign Bodies) deep within the Australian political system. And as you see they seek to disguise themselves with normal sounding names, “Waters, and Ludlum”. Our settings will have to be re-calibrated to detect “normal names” and not just “foreign sounding names”. This will require a massive infrastructure overhaul. The current settings, “Ishmael” and “Mahommed”, are clearly not enough, and WE, in the MDFI are seriously worried.
Saint Tone of Santamaria. !00% recyclable working for Lord Murdoch and Saint Margaret of the Sociopath.
Lord Murdoch has responded to the fracas by flooding his esteemed dailies, the Telegraph, the Herald Scum, the Courier, and West Australian,(the list is so big it requires a computer upgrade), and in the electronic media, Sky News network and any other conduit not yet owned by his empire, with a sanguine assessment; “How rank amateur can you be? They’re not Australian citizens, and yet, they had the cheek to influence the process of government in this country. I don’t have Australian citizenship and I OWN the processes of government in this country. Not only do I own them here, but I have complete control in the U.K and in the U.S. I ask, What have the greens done for foreign policy? What have I done? Singlehandedly encouraged the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, for civilisation. Since I gained access to running the governments in three countries I’ve been on hand to offer significant change, and you can tell by the general trajectory that I have installed real benefits of fascism worldwide. To prove that human affairs and foreign policy do not mix. Nor do humans representing humans in parliament, (and all living things) have a place in current government.
The MDFI autobots* represent a step in the right direction.
And they’re 100% recyclable’.
