A “Greg” hunt… Release the hounds!
What a sad excuse for a government we have!
And in said sad excuse for a government, full of incompetent ministers, Greg Hunt stands out as one of the most incompetent; and that’s a big call, as there are just so many incompetents to choose from!
In fact in the incompetent stakes, Abbott has an embarrassment of riches to add to our general embarrassment of this mob and their actions and policies!
And in the spirit of credit where credit’s due, The title and consequently the inspiration for this poem came from one of my fine commenters: Diannaart, who posted the title as a slogan for the March in march placards post, so thanks Dianna, and well done 😀
And so without further adjure….
A Greg hunt… Release the hounds!
Greg Hunt is to climate change
What Brandis is to laws
They are both consummate liars
And legal, and climate whores
He’s the anti environment minister
And rabid right wing runt
Who ignores the proven science
Cos he’s the LNP’s Greg Hunt
😉
He’s the one who singlehandedly
Has trashed our climate cred
With his climate sceptics handbook
And ideology in his head
And with Abbott riding shotgun
On their “Direct Action” plan
Which is nothing more than rhetoric
From this Lying Liberal man
😯
Cos it’s not about our climate
Or the future of our nation
It’s all about the LNP
And their policy constipation
And a suppository of wisdom
Just will not do the job
Cos there is no forward thinking
From this rabid right wing mob
👿
So Greg Hunt was the one they chose
To implement their plan
But the experts rightly all agree
They should flush it down the pan
Cos it won’t reduce emissions
And their targets won’t be met
And it will come back to bite us
Like some rabid right wing pet
😛
But the beasts of crippling climate change
Are baying at the gates
While the Liberal knobs are playing games
And servicing their mates
But Greg is just a member
Of a party with no idea
As they run around in circles
Spouting verbal diarrhea
😯
And they don’t believe in climate change
The Abbott said it’s crap
They think that record rainfall is just
Natures leaky tap
And they listen to lord Monkton
And to Andrew Bolt as well
With their well known “non”-credentials
They promote their right wing hell
😈
But this whole thing’s systematic
Of the Abbott and his style
As he spent the last parliamentary term
Spewing lies and right wing bile
Instead of building policy
He turned his hand to slogans
And now instead of government
We’ve a mob of policy bogans
😯
So while the climate’s changing
And our time is running out
And our farmers deal with flooding rains
In the middle of a drought
And the heatwaves get more frequent
And the winters more severe
Greg the climate sceptic just keeps
Talking through his rear
😯
Par for the course, for the LNP
As they totally ignore the facts
And they think they’ll rule forever
Cos old Rupert’s got their backs
And they lied their way to government
And they haven’t got a clue
Of how to run the country
Or what they’re supposed to do
😦
And the climate respects no-one
But it surely needs our help
And we know that we’ll get nowhere
Under Abbotts climate whelp
And for the sceptics claims they make
They really have no grounds
As the science believers make the call
A “Greg” hunt… release the hounds!
😀
I don’t think these are the “hounds” that either Dianna or I had in mind, or it might have finished with; “Release the dog catchers” 😉 but you must admit they’re cuter than the originals 😯 😀
TT, it is a shame, that they cease listening to others. It is a shame, they cannot open their eyes and look around them. Work it out for themselves.

I wonder where Abbott got the idea, that he was the great liberator. Yes, the great liberator, with only regrets for the worker. Yes, he says he grieves for them.
Yes, it is tough love and father knows best, when it comes to those on the bottom of the pile.
I a sure, mo9st would like to see him and put his grieving and regrets aside, remembered he is not an onlooker but PM.
Time for him to look up the words “good governance”. Yes, and get on with the job.
It seems the cracks in the patrol notes can be laid at the feet of Howard. Yes, Howard did not believe they needed to only to be of civilian standard, not that of defiance.

You did not disappoint, Truthie. A while since I have been considered a muse. 😀
Heard on ABC 774 drive program yesterday. Raf Epstein had a climatologist (from BOM and advisor to IPCC – apologies, cannot recall his name) on air to discuss the latest on how climate change has already impacted on Australia in particular as well as trends around the world, included in discussion was how current PPM of CO2 impacted on atmospheric temperatures..
After the interview, Raf took a call from self-educated layman (he admitted such when Raf asked him for his qualifications) after the man claimed that CO2 levels, although a greenhouse gas (!?) could not possibly affect climate as there wasn’t enough being released into the atmosphere. Raf commented to this ‘knowledgeable’ man that he had completely contradicted the scientist, and sage caller replied, “Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he? He’s a climate scientist”.
Woof.

Questions for the Ghunt:
How many trees are you going to plant, GREG?
A lot.
What kind of trees will they be, GREG?
Wooden ones.
Where will you get the trees from, GREG?
The tree shop.
Where are you going to plant them, GREG?
In the ground
When are you going to plant them, GREG?
Later.
What size will they be when they are planted, GREG?
Biggish.
How long will it take them to grow to an effective size, GREG?
Soon.
Who will look after them to make sure they survive, GREG?
The rain.
Are you a liar, GREG?
Not according to Tony.
Are you an idiot, GREG?
Not according to Wiki.
All jokes aside, the Ghunt’s army will be 15,000 strong and they will plant 20,000,000 trees. That’s 1333 trees each if they are all tree planters.
And assuming they travel by truck to the places of planting and there are 15 toa truck they will need 1,000 trucks.
15,000 tree planter beds if they stay out overnight.
15,000 bowls of Crunchy Nut for breakfast daily.
15,000 sausages and 15,000 slices of bread for lunch daily.
15,000 Maccas for dinner nightly.
90,000 cans of beer nightly.
5,000 dunny rolls daily.
The list goes on. It’ll be a fucking nightmare.
