Prime Minister Abbott and Foreign Aid

Australia has a new Prime Minister, although it could be said Australia has not had a real Prime Minister for the last six years.  Liberal Party Leader Tony Abbott is the new man and although a bit too religious for the taste of some, he seems a fundamentally decent bloke. Having someone wtith at least some principles which will make a nice change from the sad run of self servers Australia has had to endure during the tenure of the Australian Labor Party.

English: Tony Abbott in 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Labor Party got throughly trounced and it is hard to believe that so many still dont get why? Labour ran a shambolic campaign based on thought bubbles and fraulent charges of false costings.

Firstly, let’s dispence with costings nonsense, all parties will resist releasing any costings until the last minute. Why take the chance on providing free ammunition? Sorry when did the Labour party release their costings in 2007 was it one or two days before?

Laughably, the more Labor’s rusted on, inner twits raved about costings, the more it reminded joe average about labour’s litany of billion dollar budget and surplus misses. The Libs could not have planned it better. Seriously was there anyone in Australia who believed Gillard and Swan on the returns to surplus? Penny Wong was probably one of the best operators for the future of the ALP but after standing time after time behind the money clowns is now throughly compromised.

Bleating about Abbott cutting foreign aid? Seriously? Let’s look close to home for a start. Billions of dollars to Indonesia and meanwhile Indonesia uses that aid to help the poorest? Well actually no they don’t.  Indonesia has just received the another few Russian Jet fighters, 100 Leopard Tanks and now just signed off on a whole new batch of Apache Helicopters. Now call me naive, but Leopard Tanks and Apache choppers do not normally make the best delivery platform for aid delivery. Is there anyone in the real world who does not think foreign aid does not need a massive review?  Shall we talk about the billion of foreign aid misused (ok fraudlently misused) dumping free wads of cash in order to secure UN votes and promptly dumped once we had what we needed? Gee must be me because savings here seem a no brainer, add integrity and have billions.

Leopard Tanks

The ALP campaign was a disaster, from the clown who said he wanted to move away from negative, it turned out that’s all EX PM Rudd had besides ill thought out nonsense like  “let’s move the Navy (how’s the costings on that?) NBN (How’s the costings on that?), Special Tax Zones..(costings amongst laughter). Of course, the attempts to attack the man brutally backfired. You may not like Abbott as traditional or overly religious or conservative but in a judgement of personal attributtes a pompous little public servant bully was exposed to the public by both his own party history. Again ask Joe Average who he would want living next door to him, Kevin (I dont care if your house is on fire just dont let it near me) Rudd or Abbott. Climate Change????  Oooh the warmest winter. Come on guys, the public is sick of this hyperbole and those kind of time frame references just make you look silly.

Critically, you would be hard pressed to find anyone that does not care about the enviroment but the average Australian is no longer going to tolerate ripping billions of dollars out of the ecomony (and their pockets) to feed an ever growing bunch of hangers-on to make exactly zero difference to the environment. Tell me again how many hangers on attended the Climate Change Conference in Cophenhagen? Tell me again what degree of difference in temperature Australia will achieve if Australia ceased All carbon emissions tomorrow? Now if you want to demonstrate that the millions/billions collected are going to actually rehabilate the Murray and Darling Basin then I might start listening again.  However you have no hope of me listening to the greens and their anti Israel nonsense.

Aceh’s Daughters Vaginas – Sizes and Descriptions

Aceh is a physically a very beautiful part of Indonesia but with recent limited automony allowing the introduction of Sharia Law,  Aceh has become Indonesia’s intolerant, perverted creepy Uncle.

The province is now better known for its uniformed religious thugs kidnapping young teenagers off the streets for daring to hold hands or nonsensical regulations such as women must ride motor bikes side saddle.

However in a simply bizarre news story oozing out of Aceh, it appears the creepy uncles have reached a new low.  The Jakarta Post reports today:

“A junior high school in Sabang, Aceh, apparently cares so much about its students that it is asking about the sizes of their penises, vaginas and breasts in its registration forms.

One of the forms, there was a questionaire with graphics depicting breasts, vaginas and penises and under each of them, there were four options – from small to large – that a student needed to circle”

The mind boogles at what Junior High School girl would be expected to circle when asked how big her vagina is?  This is a sick and depraved part of Indonesia and anyone who thinks Sharia Law or a vote for one of the Islamist Parties (PKS) is the answer to the countries ills should look long and hard at what occurs here.

THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE RIGHT?

FPI and other assorted soilings

Indonesia is blighted with a number of organisations that like to claim the moral high ground but in fact they represent the very rotting, fetid base one finds under the rocks of intolerance and bigotry.  Think PKS and FPI for a quick glance at what is soiling Indonesia.

The FPI in particular claim to represent Islam and the people when the reality is they are despised by the majority of Indonesians as little more than thugs for hire.  Curiously the FPI like to refer to themselves as warriors for Islam yet on every occasion they have encountered resistance where they did not out number the victims ten to one they have scurried back under their rocks before you could say “Look at the ladyboys dressed like Arabs”.  Sadly in one such rout, the thugs hit a pregnant woman with a vehicle and dragged her 50m killing her.

Take a look at the picture below with the head thug, dressed as a Arab from a bad hollywood movie riding in American Jeep (ha, ha, ha) and ask yourself “Do you really think these idiots represent Indonesia”  Meanwhile one hopes the government is trawling through the tax records of the FPI and tracing the ownership of the Jeep for tax avoidance investigations.

More Government Officials fixated on Schoolgirl Virgins

You can almost here the dirty old men salivating as yet another government official jumps on the Sumatra Virgin Bandwagon.

In the latest UPDATE: Education Head, HM Raysid now claims he was misquoted and
was only advising the parents of girl that if they were worried about
her reputation they should have her tested.  Methinks…Pants on Fire!

Meanwhile, Hasrul Azwar, member of the House of Representatives’ Commission VIII
overseeing religion from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), said that
it was necessary for schools to carry out virginity tests once in a
while due to rampant promiscuity among students.

Of course, no sane person takes anything that anyone from the PKS party says seriously
as they can have ply demonstrated their obsession with squalid little
affairs and remain mired in corruption ..ahem..allegations for
corruption in the beef import scandals.

Here’s a free tip Azwar, seek help for your fevered imagination about school children and
concentrate on cleaning the filth out of your own party.  Physician heal thyself.

Government Official to probe Sumatera Virgins

Indonesia’s national obsession with sex continues with a passion.  Indonesia for all its pious posturing, consistently tops the ASEAN Google charts for Internet Sex Searches. A combination of nonsensical dogma and the active repression of a significant portion of the male population to building any sort of male – female relationship at developmental levels leads to absurd if not tragic levels of ignorance.

In the latest laughable example,  H.M. Rasyid, the chief of Prabumulih’s Education Agency, told the Indonesian news portal kompas.com that the the agency intends to include virginity tests as part of its high school admission requirements.  To be fair, the last time this was tried, the plan was quickly dropped as the abuse mounted.  What is inexcusable, is socially inept twits like Rasyid can actually rise to positions of influence in the Indonesian Education System.

H.M. Rasyid (We assume the HM stands for Hugely Moronic) reportedly went on to justify his outrageous proposal by stating “that increasing instances of premarital sex and prostitution among female students prompted the move.”  The statement like the man is nonsensical and says more about the putrid state of his own fevered imagination than the reality of student life in Sumatera.

Please keep the government out of my Vagina

Between Female Genital Mutilation and Virginity tests for schoolgirls you have to wonder what creates the kind of society with such an official (but sick) obsession with young girl’s vaginas.   A bigger wonder is when and if the people will tire of such morons in their daily lives.

Kevin Rudd fails debate

With the Australian election coming up in a little over a month, it is fitting to give the issue some attention.  Prime Minister Redux Rudd and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott had the first of three debates and were both a little uninspiring.

Of course, it would beggar belief that Australians would re-elect the Australian Labor Party again.  There is little doubt that the this particular Australian Labor Party will go done is history as the worst and most unprincipled mob of time servers since World War 2 bar none. You would think after the shenanigans of the NSW Labor Party and an election coming up that the Deputy Prime Minister would have more commonsense than to be snapped having a beer with a known fraudster?  Worse the idiot DPM then tried to sell the story that it was an accidental meeting in a pub another lie that came unstuck when it was exposed that both the DPM were seen sauntering up to the pub together.  The unmitigated lies that flow incessantly from this bunch of ratbags is simply astounding.

Prime Minister Rudd flanked by the hapless and compromised Penny Wong

 

What is most sad is the fall in grace, integrity and dignity of Australian Labor Party by Australian Finance Minister Penny Wong.  Penny Wong is the first Asian-born member of an Australian cabinet and also the first openly lesbian member of the Australian cabinet. On 27 June 2013 she became the first person of Asian descent to assume the role of Leader of the Government in the Senate.  Articulate and extremely clever she should (and did) represent everything that is good about an open, tolerant forward thinking Australia.  Unfortunately, she has displayed a complete lack of bottle and has allowed the unprincipled around her to drag her to their level.  It is obvious that she knows what she is parroting is manifestly false but in a sad display continues to do so.  Oh Penny…what could have been….

Meanwhile Prime Minister Rudd continues the abhorrent and anti-democratic practice of forcing out local members who actually live in area they represent to allow party hacks and recycled no hopers to gain safe seats the tax-payer gravy chain.

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Indonesia

Evil Harpies smiling as they mutilate a screaming child

One of the sadder things about Indonesia is the prevalence of Female Genital Mutilation or FGM with estimates being that 80-90% of young, mostly (but not always) Muslim girls are abused in this manner.  This particular barbaric piece of child abuse is often excused as “it is required by religion” (although this just highlights the person’s ignorance of their own religion as IT IS NOT)  or more bizarrely “It will stop my daughter becoming over sexed” which is beyond words for stupidity.

Sadly but looking for any light in the dark, barbaric practice at least Indonesia generally tends towards the lesser versions of mutilation not that excuses the practice in any fashion.

It was pleasing to read that Australia is still taking a hard (ish) line on the practice as any civilized nation should.  A number of people were arrested including a Sheik ( of what?  since when does Australia have Sheiks) and a Lawyer over the mutilation of two innocent girls aged six and seven.  Bizarrely these sick perverts are somehow allowed bail, yet you can bet if anyone else have taken a blade to a young child they would be jail now and for a long, long time as.  Australians are truly tiring of this one rule for some and another for others. One can only hope long sentences await the creeps involved and the girls are already in protective custody.

“A SYDNEY lawyer has faced court charged with perverting the course of justice in relation to the alleged genital mutilation of two young sisters.

The 46-year-old man, arrested at an office in Sydney’s inner west in July, is the ninth person charged over the circumcisions.

The arrest followed an investigation by the Sex Crimes Squad into the circumcisions, which allegedly took place when the girls were aged six and seven.

The lawyer appeared at Parramatta Local Court today charged with two counts of perverting the course of justice. Bail was continued.

He will appear in the same court to make an application to change his bail conditions on August 15, with his case set to come before the court again on September 5.

Eight other people – including the parents of the girls and a retired nurse – were charged last year with being present during the procedures and with other offences.

The victims’ father, who is a Sydney doctor, and his wife have been charged with two counts of mutilation.

A local sheik was charged with being an accessory after the fact to female genital mutilation and with hindering the police investigation.

He is accused of telling locals to lie to police about the prevalence of female genital mutilation in their community, previous court documents showed”

Australian Election

Well finally the Australian people get to choose a new  government.  The race is between the incumbent Australian Labor Party headed up by the newly reinstalled Kevin Rudd and The Australian Liberal Party headed up by the self-confessed conservative Tony Abbott.

The Stump is predicting a landslide against the incumbent Rudd and what has to be the most dysfunctional and incompetent government since federation.

As a personal disclaimer it is only fair to mention that the Stump considers KRUDD and his predecessor, the simply awful Julia Gillard as possibly the most unprincipled politicians in Federal Politics in the last thirty years.

Australian Republic

Well another royal baby has been born and jolly good luck to them.  Whilst the Queen (via the Governor General) remains Australia’s Head of State it is unlikely Boy George (imaginative lot when it comes to names) will ever occupy the same position in Australia.

Future Boy George? 7. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Whilst Australia voted against a Republic some years ago, this was more due to a flawed model (Politicians wanted to the right to elect the President not the people), a lingering affection for a rather lovely old granny and the general apathy of the people than a burning desire to rule by some foreign King.  Frankly, the Monarchy in Australia is just a quaint old tradition that has long since worn out its usefulness but like an old sheepdog, no one really cares if it hangs around until it passes quietly in the night.

We wish boy George all the best not sure if it is an ideal life for a child as a taxpayer and hideously expensive tourist attraction somewhat like the Singapore Zoo without the educational benefits. Now if we could just get that flag changed.
