Context: I don’t quite recall the context of this one, but it appears to have been during the Gillard years, sometime in Winter (The winter ball was on the 27th June in 2012), where a Labor Party legislation relating to asylum seekers was defeated in the upper house – possibly the Malaysia proposal. I suspect the Greens would have been insisting that all refugee centres were on the mainland (one of their good looking chics must have shed a tear or two for the camera) and the Libs, true to form, would just vote “No” regardless!
The Government makes compromises, the Libs say the only word they know for everything - "NO" - isn't that what mummy taught her to say?! . . . and of course the Greens are on another planet smokin' some environmentally friendly substance.
Crocodile tears from the Greens (was n't that good?!! Greens - environment – crocodiles, Get it?!!) and maybe from a few others but guess what - it's our way or the Highway .. and now that the performance to the cameras is over, it’s off to the Mid Winter Ball!! or had they already been?!! Don't we expect so much from our politicians these days?!
So the upper house interferes again! Did someone say there were too many politicians? Well, there's a solution right there!!
I love the Greens . . . all care no accountability. To think I voted for them once! In my defence, it wasn't 'cos I thought they were good (though they probably have the best looking members of parliament. . . ooops that's probably politically incorrect in so many ways!!), it was just that I didn't want to vote for the others. I learned my lesson real quick, the next elections were invalid votes. I guess you need someone to balance out the Pauline Hanson party!! One day we might have a green policy that is realistic.
Ok, let me divulge my true colours - I have always had views to the left of centre and used to vote Labour. But I now live in what is probably the safest Liberal seat, so my vote is irrelevant.
And so the boats will keep sinking. Most Aussies don't care, really - "they're bloomin' terrorists or some coloured skins" are the not? "We don't want them on our shores"! "Let it be someone else's problem, rather than them taking our jobs and crowding up Australia (that's funny)"!
Hear, hear, let's keep the charade goin'!!!
