Title: The Adults are in charge?
Post by the wise one on Jan 19^th, 2014 at 4:58am

The adults are in-charge?

There you go Bronny, that'l boost your retirement funds.
Tony, your breath smells like Rupert’s bum… I told you not to inhale!

I don’t know about you, but for me there are certain right wing slogans that really irritate.

One that I find particularly annoying is “Crystal Clear”, but the one that I find most offensive is “The Adults are in-charge”, the implication being that what came before was nothing but childish stupidity, and they will be so much better… :'(

So I thought that it would be a fitting foundation, upon which to build the first poem of the year, and this is it.

The Adults are in charge?

When Abbott made the statement that

“The Adults are in charge”

It was another meaningless slogan

Like ‘Small boats… and ocean large’

Or ‘When it comes to funding Gonski

We say confidently… Snap!’

But Abbott’s promise, like his belief

In Climate change… “Is crap!”

And when referring to “The Adults”

Abbott couldn’t mean the speaker

Cos Bronny’s in her second childhood

Like a twelve year old truth tweaker

Changing the rules to suit herself

Whilst wearing helmet hair

And bringing into disrepute

The honoured, speakers chair

And “Adult” Chrissy? … Surely not?

He can’t mean Chrissy Pyne

Who needs to answer… “do you want cheese

And crackers, with that…whine?”

He’s like the little spoilt kid

Who runs to tell his mummy

And when he doesn’t get his way

He’ll spit a mega dummy

And Scott “Hello Sailor” Morrison?

The Abbott must be joking?

He’s like the local naughty boy

Who annoys, with constant poking

And hides the truth, and just won’t tell

And shows his lack of class

And he’s not the “Adult” promised

In fact he’s not an adults Arse

Julie Bishop’s not an “adult”

She’s a very naughty girl

Who, although her death stares never work

She’ll still give them a whirl

With her prepubescent attitude

Of selfishness and spite

She’s like the “Girls school” bully

Always spoiling for a fight

And Sloppy Joe’s another one

Who’s adult cred is shot

He screamed blue murder about the debt

Then he added, his own lot

On top of what’s already owed

And he didn’t bat an eyelid

Instead he blamed the ALP

Like the bully blames the shy kid

On climate change you’ve got Greg Hunt

An adult?… Not a hope

He treats us all like idiots

But he’s the raving dope

Who’s lost in his portfolio

He hasn’t got a clue

Just adds to global warming

By speaking heaps of cattle poo

And Turnbull’s not an adults bum

Cos he doesn’t have the guts

To stand up for his principles

Against the right wing nuts

But he’ll do the right thing for himself

To make his mega bucks

As he sells us down the river

For an NBN that sucks

And Banaby’s a classic

He’s a kiddie through and through

With his little pearls of wisdom

Worth as much as doggie do

But for him it doesn’t matter

That he never makes much sense

Cos he’s owned by Gina Rinehart

And he’s sitting on her fence

So where are all the “adults”

That you promised from the start?

Or was that just an another lie?

Another great brain fart?

And the crew you chose wouldn’t grow up

If you sent them all to classes

Cos they’re spoilt little rich kids

And members of… the Ruling… Arses

Apelike, the simian copied the “adults. . .” tripe from the Repugs in the US.

The present govt is showing no maturity at all. Maybe what there is is expressed by Truss, a man of zero ideas but who at least has gravitas.

You have to be talking about the right whingers. Do you seriously believe that the crap the Librats (opposite to Labrats Cods) rave on about is truthful?

The only thing the RW's are capable of doing is badmouthing the opposition. If you ask a RW about a policy or why the Coalition is doing something or other - they haven't got a clue.

The title here is honest - Abbott did say that and the post is about that topic ?

The poem is amusing.

The only problem is that you disagree with what it is saying or that you don't like that it is pretty close to the mark.

It is a worthwhile topic as the statement made by Abbott is clearly debatable. I would think with the trickery and stunts we have seen that the current government are clearly more childish than the last.

we say exactly the same about you mantra....

so what the heck....

I am talking about crappy threads if the topic remotely resembles politics then suck it up....but most of these dont...ok you may be proud of the leftie c rap I know I am not proud of righty crap...

and I dont come out raving with rubbish like you have just written.. go back and read some of your side threads since the 7th...

its made up rubbish.. and I dont care who it is..its pathetic crap..

but support away.. you dont realise how you bring yourself down to their level when you rave on like you do....I have many times pulled up a righty for something I consider to be in very poor taste....and I am yet to see a lefty abhor any of their mates on here.... and thats the truth.

so in saying that,. I can only believe you agree with them....

you used to be reasonable so one could at least agree to disagree...but now its we are all right and you are all wrong..

this is truly a compliment and the mark of a mature politician (dare i say , an adult).
we neither want , nor need politicians to have ideas.

there are plenty of smart people in the private sector who have plenty of good ideas.
politicians as professional media tarts who are not deep thinkers and wouldnt cut it in the private sector should stick to what they can do best.

1 set the rules for the "ideas" people in the private sector to play by.
2 ensure the playing field is level to encourage the cream to come to the top.
3 stay off the field ;). politicians are many things but they are NOT cream and they are NOT full of good ideas.

abbott as a man who understands his limitations ( he is a solid family man and has a certain common sense) is doing a good job, much in the mould of john howard, bob hawke, bill hayden.

rudd (a man who did NOT understand his limitations) was a wrecker in the mould of other leftist "ideas" men...whitlam and that fool mark latham.

yes, the adults are back in charge , to a certain extent , but they still need to get some routine and discipline back into a childish voting public. ;)

The article below is written by the ACTU Pres so I'm sure there's a bit of bias in it, however the facts cannot be disputed.

40 inquiries/reviews, didn't Bolt and you lot start calling Rudd mirrors for having inquiries?

Quote:

But what we have come to understand is that their approach to governing is not policy based. They are not embracing leadership with robust community engagement. There is no discussion of how they plan to improve lives and protect jobs. Instead, the opportunity to lead has been outsourced to big business in the form of a large number of reviews, more than 40 in fact.

Quote:

For example, Tony Shepherd from the Business Council of Australia (BCA) will oversee one of the biggest reviews, the Commission of Audit (COA). This task will have far-reaching consequences and require the business leaders on the Council to assess the role and scope of government, to recommend changes and advise on how taxpayer money should be spent. Ideas already floated include the $6 co-payment for doctor visits. Considering Mr Shepherd's vested interests it is likely, if not a surety, that COA will recommend policies that promote privatisation and small government. By shifting services away from government (under the banner of ''cost savings'') we will see big changes in the way Australia is run. Privatisation of government services would be as detrimental an outcome in Australia as it was recently in the UK when the conservative government implemented this same policy. The emphasis on cost over need, and on small government over big, will see rising unemployment, fewer services and much regret.

Quote:

And the stupefying aspect of all this is that a review sounds so prudent. The public could be forgiven for thinking that a meeting of minds is a safe way to ensure the government receives advice to make the best decisions for Australia's future. But if the minds who are meeting are exclusively unconcerned with the wellbeing of workers and families then the review might as well not occur at all. In fact, why doesn't it take ownership of its own agenda - made obvious by the choice of reviewers - instead of a facade of fairness through analysis?

Abbott a solid family man. . .errrr no!

Regarding his daughters, Abbott was, to borrow his own insensitive remark, little more than a sperm donor. He was always out furthering his own career. Even now we have the idiocy of the simian bunking down in the AFP recruit barracks.

When the creep thought his gf was pregnant—he ran away, got his Mum to ring the gf to say everything was off, Abbott wouldn’t be coming back.

Not a real PM’s arsehole and not a good family man.
