Sous-marin de la OZ?



French, German or Japanese. Who really cares where obscenely expensive military hardware comes from when we know the 'toys for the boys' will probably never hear or see a shot fired in anger requiring such technology to deliver appropriate retaliation!

Meanwhile, worthwhile objectives such as universal access to maintenance of health, education, transport, infrastructure and scientific research et.alia face severe cuts in funding whilst shibboleths like 'national defence' continue to be funded almost unquestioned by our supposed political leadership?!

I'd be laughing if only this charade in Canberra weren't just a political JOKE!

Gearing up?



So, despite the parlous state of the upcoming budget's revenue expectations, the PM seems to be very reluctant to even consider looking into the efficacy of reforming the tax rorts associated with negative gearing, that widespread beloved tool of the rich.

I wonder why?

Lincoln spinning?



If Old Abe had been spinning in his grave over the fractious behaviour of his Republican party during recent years ... he must now be sorely tried not to become Lazarus 2 in order to confront the greatest  danger to his beloved union since the 'confederacy'... Donald Trump?!
