up on the coast i don't really get much radio signals but i do get the abc who broadcast parliament question time twice a day.

i catch it almost every day and if i'm not driving to work i'm at home watching it on tv.

let me tell you, it's very different from what you see on the news, the news edit bits that some guy thinks is interesting as a soundbyte, which is considerably different from the context in which it's said, in fact you get a very good reminder that the map is not the territory. 

for example when the govt. decided they could never meet a surplus they raided savings accounts that had been inactive for three years. it used to be seven. the bill was given 20 minites only in the senate, as most bills are rushed through without adequate debate or deconstruction, the fact is the bill was passed in april and banks were told they have 24 hours to contact the holders of these 'dead accounts' to deposit something or, make a withdrawal, after which if nothing was changed the government raided the bank accounts. 

wait a second! 
is he talking about greece? 
that's what your thinking right?

no i'm talking australia 2013.

anyway the bill returned as an amendment during the last week of sitting as the banks were all saying 24 hours was unreasonable, they couldn't be expected to locate and get a response from the account holders.

the liberal speakers pleaded with the govt to apply some democratic process to the passing of bills, discussion, time to read them, some of these documents are about 600 pages long yet the liberals get them the night before. 
question time is incredible, you get a really accurate sense of how these people are locked in to their mindsets. 

labour - a bunch of thugs and egotists, looking for a way to control you.

liberal - a bunch of merchant bankers who are driven by economics.

greens - reds

the australian clive palmer party - a titanic

the australian sex party - fantastic policies, sexy tee shirts and reasonable attitudes to modern australia. 

anyway kevin rudd is now our pm, leading his revolution, you know what? i'm just sick of the skool revolution, the green revolution, the edukation revolution, the health revolution etc. did we get asked about having a revolution?
did we hell.
and since when do governments decide to have revolutions against the people they govern. 
for fucks sake kevin, get back in your box and lets get back to being reasonable. we do need a revolution, we need one against stupidity and these thieving, lying, power crazed egos who are raping the future of australia for some un world agenda.
