Lazy miners are no heroes
The surviving Beaconsfield miners are nothing more than lazy, thieving union layabouts and should repay every cent of the cost of their "rescue" when they are removed from their luxury underground hotel room.
For years now, Hollywood celebrities and other deserving rich listers have had to pay thousands of dollars to spend time in what are known as sensory deprivation chambers, private unlit, soundproof spaces where they are able to take the time away from the hustle and bustle of day to day life to regroup and collect their thoughts before returning to their demanding lives.
But that wasn't good enough for the comrades in the CFMEU - rather than choosing to work hard, invest wisely and bide their time, they took it upon themselves to take a shortcut and "suffer" an alleged "cave-in" - and had the gall to suggest that it was directly due to a seismic event caused by unsafe work practices of the mine owners. They saw a free ticket to some quality sensory deprivation time and they stole it.
For 13 days now, gold mining operations at Beaconsfield have been shut down now, at great cost to mine management and the Australian economy. I have personally been affected by this union arrogance with the delay of a set of gold cufflinks that I have been expecting for more than a week.
But it's not only the cost of the shutdown and rescue operation that is galling - possibly the worst crime (as yet unmentioned - surprise surprise - by the pinko arse-bandits of the Australian media) is the theft of income from hardworking, decent multinational music corporations. Earlier in the week, iPods containing music illegally copied from cd were supplied to the "trapped" miners. Under current copyright law in this country, this is a serious offence and if police do not arrest these music thieves on their eventual exit from their state subsidised workers holiday, it will be just another indication that this nation is going to hell in a handbasket.
In other news, I was able to give some charities a good kicking this week for presuming to know more about welfare than this nations elected representatives, I mean for the Lord's sake, just because they minister to hundreds of thousands of povvos on a daily basis, where do they get off telling our glorious leader (and my personal friend) that maybe welfare could be handled more humanely. Elite humanitarians are a pox on this country and need to be cut down to size. They're now on my list.
Elsewhere, shirtlifting postmodernist tree-hugger Jeff Kennett was too soft to return to state politics - he's obviously been spending too much time trying to convince people that depression is a legitimate illness instead of telling people to build a bridge and get over - don't these people get that it takes 43 muscles to frown and only 7 to smile. Do the sums people and stop moping around wasting our time. He's obviously bought into this ridiculous culture that says some people need to be taken care of and can see that state government is no place for that.
Finally, had a beautiful moment talking about the freedom hating terrorist "governments" in the towelhead zone when I chided my audience for ever being sucked in by the suggestion that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons.
I mean, I never believed that line for a second (note to self - have archive of columns 2002-2003 accidentally deleted) - of course it helps when you have the PM and his band of monkeys to tell you what the real story is (when they remember or someone passes that information on to them in the first place, of course).
