This is what dead Mangrove looks like close up.

Dear reader, we think it’s time we talked of Mangroves. There’s quite a lot of them in Northern Australia, they perform a function did you know?. For example, crabs live in Mangroves. And we’ve been told that Mangroves host a wide variety of species. And these species we are also told are very important to the ecosystem.

This is what dead Mangrove looks like from the air.

“PShaw”! We hear you say. Who cares about those species, they’re just bloody animals, and they’re not even entitled to vote. ‘Correct’! we answer, but we’d also suggest that they’re not that much different from the average Australian citizen, who though entitled to vote, knows their vote counts for nought. The Mangroves are all dying-off due to global warming. “What the’?, we hear you say, ‘its nothing to do with me’. “Correct” we would say, but eventually the creep, (not Mr Bernardii) will be upon us and before you can say; “Adani”, what once we value, clean air, water, and food will be a thing of the past.

This is what homelessness looks like close up

‘Not so’! Says Mr Roberts, he wants to see the proof. And as a consequence Mr Roberts, visited with One Nation leader the last hold-out, the last outpost of non-buggered coral on the Great Barrier Reef. He stood upon this little polyp of coral and said, “no bleaching” and the Murdoch news press adored him. You see it didn’t matter that the coral reef, the worlds greatest living organism was dying fast, what mattered is that Mr Roberts was seen to be standing for something. That’s more than a Mangrove can ever do. Australians like that, standing for what you believe in. And even if its wrong they’ll admire you for having principles and sticking to them.

Principles are the very bedrock of our society. Principles enshrined in the ‘fair-go’ ethos of Australia. Unless of course you’re an aboriginal, an asylum seeker, have no money or just a troublemaker.

Mangroves are troublemakers. Though there’ll be no Barramundi, there’ll be nowhere for troublemakers, (biotic ones to hide). Kill off the Mangroves, we say. Mangroves be buggered, Gone, and we never knew they were there in the first place.

This is what homelessness looks like a little bit from the air

Homelessness is another thorny issue, they’re all over the place. Why can’t they be like Mangroves and just bugger off!! We HATE that, they make the streets look untidy. Just like Mangroves, Mr Doyle wants em off the streets. He’s right, Mr Doyle stands on principle. He hates messiness. Mangroves and Homelessness are just way way too messy. Just recently SGS did an audit of homelessness and determined that homelessness is very expensive. We thought they were just refuse, But there’s money in refuse!!

This is what non- governance looks like close up.

They (SGS) couldn’t audit the human cost of broken lives, tortured souls and wasteage, but they had broken the homeless figure down to $26, 567. 57. Yes, that’s; twenty six thousand five hundred and sixty seven dollars, and fifty seven cents. And that’s a huge cost. We don’t know any, (Mangroves or Homeless) and don’t like them. They don’t hang about in “nice peoples” circles, but it’s significant just the same. Pity the Barrier Reef and the Mangroves cant be audited. But then, they’re not humans. But these homeless humans are quite expensive. Do the math.

Apparently the Japanese government makes more out of our exported gas royalties than the Australian government does in exporting the stuff. Same again, do the math. It aint right, But is it broke?.

If it aint broke, don’t fix it.
Is that standing for something?

Malcolm who?
