Now here’s a strange thing: in calling for a “yew-noited Orstraaya” to support her carbon tax, ALP Prime Minister Julia Rudd-Brownard actually has convinced herself that she may win over those who abhor her triple-headed desire to impose a carbon tax, the cost and benefits of which she refuses to reveal publicly; nor has she revealed the costs and benefits of the NBN rollout. Clearly, the Labor Party believes such revelations too difficult for the masses to understand.
Naturally! The ALP sees itself as the politically-correct maker of Australia’s destiny.
Let me, then, remind these closet Marxists of a line or two of Rudyard Kipling’s “Norman and Saxon” (set in AD 1100) where Julia may assume the part of the dying Norman baron speaking with his son about the Saxon:
“When he stands like an ox in the furrow with his sullen set eyes on your own, And grumbles, ‘This isn’t fair dealings,’ my son, leave the Saxon alone.
Say ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘ours’ when you’re talking instead of ‘you fellows’ and ‘I’. Don’t ride over seeds; keep your temper; and never you tell ’em a lie!”
But you’ve told us lies, haven’t you, Julia? After all, disguising the truth about the disposition of finances of the Federal Budget is an ALP specialty.
