Australian government shoots itself in the face foot again

Sometimes I don't know why I bother.

The weak willed left-leaning Communications minister Helen Coonan (or is that Hello Conman?) this weak announced two new appointments to the board of that truth and freedom hating sucker of the public teat, the so-called national broadcaster the ABC.

Not only do they appoint some plebian beer swilling leader of the Hotels industry - a place that anyone at all can enter and buy a drink but they also appoint dark-grey armband historical revisionist Keith Windschuttle.

If you were able to ignore the argy-bargy surrounding the publication of his soft-cock book a few years ago, here is why he is so objectionable. The man claimed that there were massacres of Aboriginal people in Tasmania. He attempted to redeem himself by saying that the scale of the massacres wasn't as great as conventional, "informed" researchers and historians purported but none the less, he point blank refused to deny (as any man with a fraction of a brain - such as myself) that the blackfellas in this country have had any problems whatsoever.

And now he's going to be able to use the taxpayer funded national broadcaster to perpetuate this ridiculous hand-wringing lefty softcock view.

For shame.

So what if the United Nations regards the health problems in Australian Aboriginal communities as among the worst in the world - these people are entirely responsible. Have you ever seen one at the gym or jogging by the lake? Do any of these malingering layabouts even have personal trainers? I think not.

Oh, and apparently there's some wog sport thing happening in Germany at the moment which is making millions of Australians late for work. I hope their employers take it out of their hides when they make them sign their next employment contract is all I have to say.

Back to me now, i's are still being dotted and t's are being crossed but I think it's safe for me to say that I am shortly going to be making the move to radio. Stay tuned for more.

Haven't had the time to get someone to scratch me of late, what with the demands of my bi-weekly column and writing letters to my forum (might need to start doing that here given the complete reluctance of the unwashed masses - other than you, obviously dear reader - to visit my "blog" and come face to face with the inconvenient truths I am want to deliver).

Suffice to say, I'm feeling my talents are wasted in a solely print based medium and while I can't say much, things are in the wind - or should I say the waves. Stay tuned for coming developments. Let's just say I'm heading for Bigger things.

It behoves me to share a couple of quick observations of the events of the last weeks - the American Australian Association has extended the hand of friendship into our glorious PM with a proposal to establish a United States Study Centre at one of our leading Pro-US universities. Johnnyboy has lubricated the offer with a commitment of a paltry $25m - why, that's little more than $1 per Australian.

How can we pour good money after bad into that terrorist cell of anti-Americanism the ABC with it's oh so insular focus on Australian and British culture - indeed it's only token nod to our great imperial leaders is some crackpot revisionist documentary on the White House which denies the last 6 world shaping years of George W have even occurred. (What's it called again? The Left Wing?)

Australia is crying out to know more about our mysterious neighbours to the far NorthEast and only with a dedicated commitment to a properly resourced US Study Centre is this going to happen. I like the idea of a 10% tithe personally (on persons earning under $5m a year anyway)

At least the AAA will be holding the purse strings, nothing like corporate control of funds to produce reliable and unbiased research results.

As for Timor - got some great kicks in during the week - that'll serve the dirty brown bastards right for presuming that just because multi-billion dollar gas fields lie within their legal territorial boundaries they have a right to share the profit from the sweat and ingenuity of Australian business.

The nerve of it all.
