Embattled Federal Opposition leader, Tony Abbott, has poured scorn on the ‘link’ between day and night:

“Look, it’s based on a lie. At the end of the day, the people of this country will make up their own minds on the merits of the evidence. Let’s not forget that it’s taken guts and plenty of hard work to establish that day does not necessarily follow night. It’s morally courageous to break away from the Orwellian consensus on this important issue and to speak our own inconvenient truth…”

Mr Abbott also dismissed suggestions of a causal link between his orange tan and the increased volume of uranium mining in Australia: “Inappropriate, scare mongering, at the end of the day, it’s…

Mr Rabbit’s Adventures

The setting is chilling. London is burning, the Greeks are looking for friends and Berlusconi has finally screwed everything in Italy. Meanwhile at the tea party,  the Mad Hatters cheer the fall of America’s President and the impoverishment of her people. In this tottering world precariously held above the flood of despair by the great plate of China, Mr Rabbit, a cousin of the Mad March Hare, returns to Canberra to plot the demise of Ms Carrot Top. Will Mr Rabbit be satisfied with a moderate level of carnage or will he wreak havoc on the great warren Downunder?

Mr Rabbit has taken time out to consult with the ferrets from the Tea Party on how a complete extinction might be carried out. Will he be thwarted by the Ugly Duckling who is trying hard to boost morale and steer Downunder through this crisis? Or will Tony 1080 poison the earth and take us back to the Dark Ages? Watch this space for updates.

Mad Monk Mantras, verse one: “Stop the Boats”

Tony Abbot continues with his mantra of ‘Stop the Boats’, once again demonising the defenceless and making potlitical capital from their plight. As if those fleeing the ravages of war and persecution are anything but deserving of democracy’s protection. This is as illogical and spiteful as demonising the victims of accidents or natural disasters. Actually, perhaps it’s even worse. That victims of war and oppression are burdened by the scorn and intolerance of people in relatively free, wealthy countries is odious and craven.

Errr, hang on a sec Mr Abbott: what would you do if you and your family were awakened by the armies of the night? Would you not seek sanctuary and shelter?
