Treacherous LIAR and DECEIVER Oz PM, Tony Abbott, now known to make universally despised Juliar Gillard look honest, is facing a united front in Parliament and from the Oz population to have him kicked from Office as soon as possible -- and a very well deserved outcome that would be! (full story)

 Tens of thousands March against Unnecessary Austerity Budget posted by staff report via sal, 2014-05-17 23:13:25
Aussies are acutely aware of the failed demonstrations in Europe over these exact issues but have learned that persistence pays -- the Oz nation must conduct a PLEBISCITE to REMOVE deceitful LIAR TONY ABBOTT and his cronies from office. Abbott has in the shortest space of time proven himself to be a scoundrel, LIAR and DECEIVER of the first order. Treasurer Joe Hockey throws $50,000 dinner functions but attempts to impose AUSTERITY on the nation. If Abbott does not call a double dissolution, then the people would EXERCISE THEIR DEMOCRATIC PREROGATIVE and CONDUCT A PLEBISCITE -- are you reading this, Mr. Bill Shorten? If you are not part of the solution you are part of the PLUTOCRAT SERVING PROBLEM!
Government revenue problem is solved with simple Oz 'fair go' principle; "Those that benefit most (Trillions of dollars) from the nation ( Banks, Transnationals and mega-corporations) should return most to the nation," REVENUE PROBLEM SOLVED! (full story)

 Tony Abbott's name is mud posted by Mike Carlton via shelly, 2014-05-17 08:44:49

NSA Spoiler - Anonymous Digital Phone Device Goes Begging posted by digby, 2014-05-16 13:31:12
We've all heard the hysterics about NSA global surveillance, yet no nation has undertaken legal proceedings against the NSA for breaching a myriad communications laws, though the US 'justice' system hands down 10 year jail sentences (Hammond) to individual hackers for intrusions that serve the public interest -- what is wrong with that picture?

The Corporatocracy of Our Time posted by jack, 2014-05-15 22:11:40
It should be plain to all by now that western governments serve minority corporate elites, the 1%; gone are the days of majority rule or real democracy, today minority rule via puppet politicians like, Abbott, Obama, Cameron etc has become the deceptive charade that is supposed to be majority rule when it is painfully obvious these groomed puppets serve other interests and engage in full time DUPING of the public. But should WE, the OVERWHELMING GLOBAL MAJORITY, tolerate such an obvious abuse of our governments -- rule by less than 1% -- and a complete hijacking of our democracies and DEMOCRATIC prerogatives? Governments are installed by the people to represent the PEOPLE not MINORITY corporate or other financial interests. (full story)

 "Fuck EU" breeds Fuck America posted by judd, 2014-05-14 13:24:49
That very fateful and indiscreet outburst of a US official referring to the EU like some dispensable puppet, seems to have prompted a reaction, though some might attribute the decision of the EU's highest court to another reason. (full story)

The Ukraine, the US is dragging us towards war with Russia posted by John Pilger via sal, 2014-05-14 10:08:19
Why do we tolerate the threat of another world war in our name? Why do we allow lies that justify this risk? The scale of our indoctrination, wrote Harold Pinter, is a "brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis", as if the truth "never happened even while it was happening". (full story)

 Oz PM Abbott a Reprehensible Corporate-serving Scumbag posted by mitch, 2014-05-14 09:29:06
And so, the DUPED, easily conned, beer-swilling, wine-imbibing naive population of Australia have just had their first real taste of the character THEY voted into office and a very bitter budget taste it is! I have never been one to say, ‘I told you so,’ but ‘I told you so,’ many times. (full story)

Perpetual War and Bulldozer Politics posted by jaxie, 2014-05-13 12:44:40
The “give war a chance” ideology of US neo-conservatives has failed and failed miserably for obvious reasons -- war suits only those that do not have to fight it but profit from it, as for the rest of humanity war is known as the most tragic and appalling of all human activities, we simply cannot escape the fact that humans are born to love not kill.

 The Ukranian People of Donetsk Vote posted by sal, 2014-05-12 12:10:00
In defiance of western puppet Putin, the P-E-O-P-L-E of the Province of Donetsk voted to determine their own future -- don't tell America but that is DEMOCRACY IN ACTION; no American sponsored bullets or bombs just the ballot box and the free will of the people. However, the American proxy fascist junta in Kiev has very characteristically stated that it would not recognise the determination of the people and would threaten force to impose its world view onto others -- we call that totalitarianism, fascism and oppression, what do you call it Washington?

 Oz Budget Comes Down on Heads of Suckers that Voted for Abbott posted by darcy, 2014-05-12 00:10:34
Abbott was a known elitist-serving quantity well before he was placed into office by Murdoch; he was known by various media nicknames, ‘the slasher,’ and 'errand boy’ (for the plutocrats) to name only two; so wherefore this whining about the austerity budget he is UNJUSTIFIABLY imposing on the people -- there is more money circulating today than at any other time in recorded history, F-A-C-T! But who has the money, morons? Good question, ay? (full story)
