Unfortunately, I’ve thrown out all the old brochures that have arrived in my letterbox over the years, but I’m pretty sure that from the time Abbott released “Real Solutions For Imaginary Problems” or whatever that blue-covered booklet was called, there have been several.
Generally, if memory serves me correctly, they’ve been similar in message: WE HAVE A PLAN!!
Of course, they’ve felt it necessary to reassure the public because, for most of the previous decade and a half, there’s been precious little evidence of one.
“We have a plan for jobsandgrowth!”
“What is it?”
“A detailed proposal for what we intend to do…”
“Yes, yes,I know what a plan is, but what exactly is yours?
“To fix things!”
“Yes, but how are you going to do that?
“By implementing our plan.”
“And how will that work?”
“Really, really well. Much better than Labor who don’t even have a booklet!”
Anyway, that seems to have been their modus operandi ever since Tony Abbott successfully completed his plan to get rid of the Labor government. After that, his plan seemed to be to wait until something good happened then claim the credit. Of course, his sacking was considered something good by a large number of people, some of whom weren’t actually his fellow MPs who voted him out, but he modestly never took the credit for that, even though it was mainly down to him. Of course, some people would say that Peta Credlin had a large part, but that might be just Abbott boasting.
So, I’m looking forward to the booklet that Su-ss-an Ley is bandying around. She keeps showing us the cover and I’m anxious to get my hands on the thing and see if there’s anything inside. Naturally, I could say that about the whole Liberal Party, but that would just be nasty and they can’t help it if the Nationals have told them not say too much until they’re told what to do by Barnaby.
About a year ago, I wrote that the Labor Party …
Mm, or maybe even longer. It’s hard keeping track of time. I saw all these photos of Pauline in the Senate with her face covered by a burqa and I thought why are people posting this from a couple of years ago or whenever it was, but to my surprise, it was only yesterday. She was told to remove it or remove herself, and like the naughty child who won’t go to the principal, she sat there holding up the whole show. She got seven days suspension which is slightly more than the average naughty child who refuses an instruction, but I guess they figured that she should know better at her age…
Whatever, I think that they should have just ignored it and pretended that it was all ok. It’s hard to get publicity and outrage when nobody notices you. If I tell you that I’m writing this while wearing a Joy Division t-shirt AND a burqa, I’m not going to be splashed over the newspapers where I can be quoted about how this isn’t the Australia I grew up in because we used to be free to pick on minority groups in those days!
But anyhow, about a year ago I wrote that the Labor Party were morphing into a slightly reasonable Liberal Government and that the Greens were the radical party that made it hard to get elected and that the Liberal Party were becoming the DLP.
I’ve changed my mind. I think the Liberals are now returning to their roots and becoming the party that Menzies led. No, not the one that he created; the original United Australia Party.
It dissolved in 1943 due to its inability to agree on its leadership and its inability to produce a pamphlet with a plan.

The disturbing image from Pauline’s stunt was the long legs and high heels she displayed. I am sure no sincere burqua wearing woman would display her naked legs like this. Apparently Pauline thinks this mockery will help Muslim Women.
Perhaps Pauline will soon appear in black-face to highlight the problems of Aboriginal people.
Hanson took off a week of Senate sitting time to go to Mar-a-Lago with Gina and deliver a speech to CPAC, now she’s back and up to her old antics and off course the Senate suspended her for mocking people of Muslim faith and for wasting the time of the Senate.
Memo to Pauline : you were elected by the people of Queensland to represent their interests in the Senate. It seems that you have no idea of the issues currently before the Senate and merely occupy your time with this nonsense.
I note that Pauline is also courting Barnaby Joyce, another freeloader, with the prospect, I hear, of bringing some respectability to One Nation – you have to be kidding!
So Pauline is in the naughty corner for 7 days – is she still being paid or has she refused her Senate salary as an honourable virtue signal?
Poor Poorline, her white gown and hood were in the wash, and we all know that black is the new white.
Yep, long legs, short Burqua, looks like a photoshoot for a Playboy special: ‘making Islam sexy’. What a disgrace this woman is. But what does it say about Australia that the Party’s polling numbers are nudging 20%? Hopefully some are having a little joke at the pollsters expense?
