On the decline of the West ...

A Hungarian holocaust survivor named Imre Kertesz, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2002 has very eloquently identified what's going on.  He said ...




"Civilization reaches a stage of over ripeness where it can no longer defend itself and doesn't particularly care to."




This is where we are at folks, the only question is what are you going to do about it?

vote in a Politician that has some backbone to tell the lefties to go "love" themselves and push on with the hard decisions of protecting our boarders and getting the budget back into surplice...

but the trouble with balancing the budget is that there is now too many loafers getting some sort of welfare and don't want it cut

and with a hostile senate blocking cuts, and, opposition parties squealing like cut pigs at the mention of cuts, with also lefties media going into a hysterical meltdown at mentioned cuts I can't see anything changing in the near future...

apart from..

increasing taxes to pay for the welfare... which seems to be on the table..

so basically its loafers legally stealing from hard working Australians..

Turning a blind eye will solve nothing

WHEN giant advertising mascots take over Springfield in The Simpsons, residents are encouraged to sing a song called Just Don’t Look, Just Don’t Look to make them go away. It worked on TV, but a surprising number of people think it might work in the real world too.

Take the reaction to this week’s damning union royal commission report. It made 76 recommendations and the Government say this is a once-in-a-generation chance to modernise the trade union movement after countless examples of corruption and misdeeds.

Yet the ALP and the ACTU want to pretend there’s nothing to see here; it’s all a giant witch-hunt by evil Liberals.

The CFMEU takes the cake for this kind of distraction, claiming that because former High Court judge Dyson Heydon hasn’t worked on a building site, he should not have any views on how the union works.

The “just don’t look” method is alive and well in Canberra when it comes to the Budget deficit. The Government spent almost $37 billion more than it made this year and that’s on top of similarly huge deficits every year since the GFC.

The cumulative effect of this credit card bill is hundreds of billions that need to be paid back. But when Joe Hockey and Tony Abbott tried to trim, they got burnt badly and it’s put the fear of god into all sides of politics.

Scott Morrison is the best hope of finding someone willing to trim spending. But everyone else wants to increase taxes. The Greens want to do it overtly by taxing millionaires, while the ALP will do it by proxy, changing superannuation concessions for “the rich”. Forget that those “rich people” were forced by government to put their money in super in the first place. Your money is just their piggy bank.

However, the real villain of the Budget is us, the voters. We tell polling groups we want to cut the deficit. We throw out governments who haven’t done enough to run the economy. But with almost half of the country getting a handout from paid parental leave to the age pension and all the welfare in between, it is almost impossible to find a bit of the Budget you can slice.

Modern politics is often about finding “victims” or “losers” of government decisions. The media personalises them with a few case studies. The requisite lobby group demands the changes be reversed and the Opposition starts making noises. Then opportunists in the Senate block the changes while proposing no alternatives to balance the Budget. All of which forces the Government to retreat before the very same polls that demanded someone fix the Budget turn on them for trying to fix it.

And, of course, the “just don’t look” approach is also applied to radical Islam. It’s not in the schools, it’s not in the suburbs and it’s definitely not in the Lindt cafe. It’s not in the ASIO raids, the murder of cartoonists or the slaughter of people in a nightclub. It’s not stealing girls in Africa and in forced marriages in Australia.

“Just don’t look” might win you a million likes on Facebook, but in the real world it only makes it harder when someone actually confronts the problem.

YOU CAN’T OUTRUN EVIL

This week’s arrest of Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges shows no matter how famous, no matter how rich, you can’t outrun the sins of the past.

All year we have read sickening allegations of Cosby drugging women before sexually assaulting them. It’s a story told by dozens of women over decades but few seemed to listen until a young comic started talking on stage about Cosby’s assaults. His act went viral and an avalanche of attention led to some very good news reporting gathering the women’s allegations of abuse and reigniting police interest.

This week’s arrest of Cosby, like those of Rolf Harris and Robert Hughes before him, show a victim’s need for justice trumps their fleeting celebrity every time.


BOLD PREDICTIONS FOR 2016

Inspired by Donald Trump, Bill Shorten will promise to build a big beautiful wall to keep illegal immigrants out. But only if the CFMEU can build it.

Even though he has signed for two more years, Karl Stefanovic will be able to squeeze an extra $2 million dollars from Channel 9 after reports he has been made a huge offer to head up the BlokesWorld election coverage.

President Hillary Clinton will name Julia Gillard as United Nations head just to annoy Kevin Rudd.

Malcolm Turnbull will lead the Liberals to a thumping win in both the Senate and House by promising to replace Jacqui Lambie in the Senate with the robot he had a selfie with in Japan.

I forgive you for being a dimwitted loafer on welfare. Thank you for confessing.

The truth has set you free.
