Voting is a serious business.
That’s why big business and real estate agents are spending millions on scaring everybody shitless about all the EVIL and SOCIALIST things a putative Shorten Government will do once it gets its hands on POWER! And that’s after they’ve taken into account the billions and trillions being spent by just one man in order to slew the Australian political system his way. That man who strides big on the global stage, and pays his workers in BUCKETS OF BLOOD, derived from their own arteries.
We’re not talking about Clive Palmer, he’s a pygmy possum to this GIANT. We’re talking about Rupert Murdoch. If Labor wins, less people than the last time will be inclined to believe everything they read in the Catholic Boys daily (the Australian) and less inclined even more still to salivate at the uttering of Andrew Spanner Hex Key BOLT.
And that’s why “WE” the voter have to be aware that voting Labor will make a big change and render the very fabric of our society untenable. Shorten’s reign will impose a brand of socialism that is akin to communism. And he’s going to start with negative gearing, thus causing EVIL and DESTITUTION to tenants and landlords across the wide brown land. And worse still strip old people who are well cashed up in denying the franking credits they deserve to maintain their lifestyle. Worse still he may even impose a belief system that assumes society be the joint beneficiary of national policy rather than individuals. In one fell swoop he will DESTROY the bounty of HOWARDISM! This is a vision that is seismic. More seismic than closing down the car industry, Adani, or even… Killing off the GREAT Barrier Reef as the single defining pillar of Coalition Policy.
This must be STOPPED!..
But how? The Shorten Juggernaut seems unstoppable. And as if by some divine intervention the death of Bob Hawke came at just the time to Pole Axe pre- election political debate. Bob’s death symbolises everything about modern Labor. The accord restricted workers rights, their salaries cut, and Big business BOOMED and made HUGE Profits! To establish the TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT! To make some people Very Very RICH! Bob was the common mans hero. He came from nothing, promised everything, dissed his wife and married Blanche, and along the way, became very very rich. And lived a millionaires lifestyle to go on trips to Tahiti, Race Horses and Talk about (almost with conviction) Children in POVERTY! That’s what the common man wants from society.
But to his credit, Bob had a vision.
And he recognised the value of dialogue. That’s pre ideological dialogue. Pre social media, instagram, twitter.. everything. And he could shag whoever he liked and no one cared, because he represented Australia before the final defeat of larrickinism by WOWSERISM!
So are you confused? Don’t worry, some things will always remain the same. In spite of the cessation of negative gearing and talking of a more equitable tax system, and even making multinationals pay tax, the worrying trend is not all one sided.
We know that in the end, self interest will triumph and with a bit of luck the rate of incarceration of indigenous Australians will still rise, and women will still be beaten to death by angry immature males. And FEAR, Raw FEAR will still win elections for politicians who know the cost of everything and the value of NOTHING!
