And as poet laureate to the G20 ( self appointed 😀 ), I felt it my duty to also cast a spotlight on the other Australian major player (and I do mean player 😉 ) at the G20.
The acting ( and I do mean ‘acting’ 😯 ) Co-host, Treasurer ( and I use the title ‘Treasurer’ with tongue firmly planted in cheek 😉 ), Sloppy Joe Hockey, is the one that is there to guide the worlds finance ministers through this most important economic forum… WTF? 😯
And as the last day gets underway, and we are all still reeling from the gross embarrassment and cringe-worthiness of the Abbott’s foray into domestic political whinging on the world stage, despite the worlds condemnation of his previous efforts in this area, we have to concede three things about Abbott and Hockey;
- They are both liars 😯
- They are both idiots 😯
- They never learn 🙄
And on those bombshells…
Sloppy Joe’s a Jumper
Sloppy Joe’s a jumper
Which is somewhat over size
But it’s also our fat treasurer
Who really takes the prize
For grossly overacting,
Economic lies and fear
For shedding lots of crocodile tears,
And verbal diarrhoea
He says that economically
There’s nothing he can’t fix
But the truth is, he’s just one of many
Liberal party Dicks
😯
A man of grand proportions but,
Little brain capacity
Which makes him just a perfect fit
For the Abbott’s LNP
He suffers self-aggrandisement
He thinks he’s really smart
Whilst trying to sell his budget
Which was just a big brain fart
He talks of heavy lifting
While he smokes his fat cigars
Of lifters and of leaners
But he’s talking through his arse
He wants to slug the unemployed
And pensioners as well
The frail, the sick and vulnerable in his
Version of right wing hell
He’s nasty, mean and tricky with
Austerity his only tool
Proving he’s no intellect
Just an economic fool
He danced around his office
When he brought his budget down
To “This is the best day of my life”
The rabid right wing clown
😈
But the country wasn’t dancing
Cos it took a massive hit
From the fat man we call Sloppy Joe
And his budget, full of shit
He said we need co-payments to make
Medicare sustainable
But not one cent goes to Medicare
Proving, of crap, his budget’s full
He screams “Budget emergency”
And of our “Massive debt”
Which they’ve doubled since they came to power
And they haven’t finished yet
🙄
They’ve ordered very expensive planes that
Have question marks around,
How well the bloody things perform
When you get them off the ground
They’re called a “Joint” strike fighter
But its partner we can’t buy
Which is really bloody stupid
Cos its the one we know can fly
And the only firm conclusion
When we wonder what’s the point
Is that before they signed the contract
They must have smoked the bloody “Joint”
😯
And Sloppy Joe’s a jumper
Cos he quickly “jumped” on board
With right wing nut-jobs round the world
To sell their austerity fraud
And trickle down economics
Which is his ideological dream
Even though most respected economists know
It’s a right wing nut-job scheme
With no real sound foundation
To redistribute the wealth
Except to those that need it least
By dishonest right wing stealth
👿
And as he steps up to the mike
To spruik his bad agendas
The world will see quite clearly that
We’re led by mad truth benders
With Abbott talking domestic fails
And Hockey much the same
They’re such a great embarrassment
And to Australia’s shame
Their policies are old and bad
They haven’t got clue
And Sloppy Joe like Abbott are,
Just full of cattle poo!
Worse, they do not listen, not hear or see.

Gillard did not rescind Pastor legalisation. Probably politics. Would have made a big thing of her not believing. Always said she respected beliefs of others. What she did, was giver schools and parents another option. Allow welfare and youth workers to be employed, which I believe most schools were moving to. Abbott has told states if they want such workers, they are to come out of state budgets. Only religious people for his scheme.

Well NO, he just lied to the voters to misappropriate their votes… Simple!
And now they’re looking even more dodgy as they try to defend the indefensible!
And WRT the ABC, I’m sure that that’s what the LNP are wanting!
The funny thing being Turdball announcing the cuts, and then saying that he will recom end to the board that they employ two more executives to fill roles currently filled by Scott… WTF? Cut funding but employ more executives… Now that makes sense????

Seems getting less money is not a cut.
Getting less money in your wage packet is not a cut. The boss has decided after going through your expenses, you can live on less.
Just like saying more money cannot fix anything.
Trouble in the real world, this is not true. One never gets more for less. Why the continuous cutting of taxes especially to industry and higher income brackets, has led to budget deficits and falling revenues.
No, one cannot do more with less.
Malcolm, not our fault Abbott does not listen to what you and Joe said.
Not out fault that this mob either ignored or choose to ridicule years of fiscal consolidation with ongoing efficiency Dividends , leaving no fat or money in hollow logs.

Yes, well I got it from the horses mouth, so to speak, that the staff cuts to Centrelink means that a lot of the staff that are there are now expected to do the same amount of work, with around half the staff, and as a consequence many don’t know WTF they’re doing? That combined with the changes in criteria means that it’s damned near impossible to qualify for the DSP etc.
I was told yesterday, of a person who had a stroke only a few weeks ago, who was in hospital, not able to talk, walk and was barely aware of what was going on around them, who was being told by Centrelink that they still had to go to their their job placement provider, or their newstart would be cut off… WTF? 😈

Still trying to see what part labour and greens played in this. On top of this and increasing unemployment , we are being dressed up for another housing hit and foreign workers.
