A three Card misère
Ace – “Well, somebody is telling porkies.”
King – “Somebody in the department has misled Minister Payne.”
Queen – “I don't say that lightly, because I have proof.”
Every Senator involved in any of the ‘committees’ doing business in parliament should have a little card printed with those three sentences in nice clear letters. The only ‘difficult’ bit will be remembering which minister has been misled; unless of course the minister is willing party to the Porky Pie charade. But there’s the rub – we have now had a series of willing accomplice ‘ministers’ quite prepared to support the lies, damn lies and statistics spoon fed by their ‘departments’. It has almost got to the point where you know, categorically that a minister is lying simply because the lips of the bureaucrat’s tame dummy are moving. Perhaps it’s time government started governing rather than play at silly bugger politics. But then I wonder why our armed forces have allowed this to happen to one of their own, that is a truly troublesome notion; when they can’t support one of their own. I always thought it was a ‘team’ thingy with leadership and comrades etc. Apparently not………. Well, Hinch is about to learn 'how things are in reality'. Good luck with that heart breaker..
Hinch – “You have to ask: how much did it cost the taxpayer to persecute and destroy the quality of life of a man whose only crime is that he served his country? In fact, during one meeting Mr Rollins asked one of these government outside lawyers how much they thought they'd been paid since it all started. He asked if it was over $100,000. They responded, 'Of course—probably much more.”
While the ministers were ‘at it’ they could get a rope on the truly horrendous cost of supporting the lies, damn lies and statistics; take the Pel-Air scandal as an example – how much do you reckon the whole package cost and what the return on that investment was?
Billions flushed down the Swanee in support of all manner of strange things – but they fight tooth and nail to stop a Vet getting the help needed to be independent. Then there they stand, the same politicians, cynically looking all misty eyed and teary on Anzac day. What a sham. Shame, shame, shame on you all. I wonder what will be left of the Australian dream for my children’s grand children – not too bloody much I reckon.
Selah.
Oh; and Bollocks.
