THE FRUITS OF FABIAN

Ah Labor........It is correct that Australia can be marked from the Whitlam era as has having changed profoundly. The change unfortunately has not been to the benefit of most Australians, an elite few yes, particularly those who were born into the political class which currently constitutes almost one hundred percent of the Labor line-up.

Surely that alone would give an intelligent person whose otherwise reflexive voting spasm is Labor; pause to reconsider? If the polls are anything to go by evidently not. It appears the self-delusional "gorging ones selves from the big government money trough" has not abated at all.

Oh it will have its day when the choices are no longer there and by then the big nanny state which many seem at peace with, will clamp down on the populace and totalitarianism in Australia  will have come of age.

Impossible you say, ridiculous, it will never happen here you say, you are just being one of those chicken little Green's you say you despise you say....I hope I am wrong but if world history is any judge....

I was fortunate enough to have lived in the Australia of the 'before' period and was here while Whitlam's shambolic government set into motion the disastrous legacy that he has hung around the neck of Australia. Those were days before convicted criminal Grassby got his grubby hands on the grossly misnamed 'multiculturism':

"The war against terror in Australia will count for nothing unless it is accompanied by a war against the culture that permitted terrorism to gain a foothold in the country. That would be the invidious policy of multiculturalism promoted by the Whitlam government’s notorious minister for immigration Al Grassby….Multiculturalism is a great example of elitist policy-making that should be dumped. Since the Leftist intelligentsia launched the French Revolution, Leftist elites have triggered top-down revolutions with results in Russia, China, South-East Asia and South and Central America.
Grassby and others within the Labor Party and the academia have promoted culturally undermining policies of moral equivalence of which multiculturalism is but one manifestation."[Piers Ackerman]

 “Whitlam personified the vicious ideological schism in Australia, and so his send-off was suitably marked by squabbles and uncouth partisanship.

There were the furious complaints of true believers who had booked tickets online and flown across the country only to find the organisers had stuffed up and the hall was full. It was an apt footnote for a Prime Minister who inspired with lofty ideas but couldn’t follow through with the all-important detail.

The booing and hissing of the “It’s Time crowd” outside as John Howard and Tony Abbott arrived was pure bogan panto. Whitlam would not have behaved as gracelessly but his reckless dismantling of the moral capital of his forebears spawned such incivility.

Another stuff-up in the seating arrangements greeted the arrival of Julia Gillard. Borne down the aisle by a standing ovation, video footage captured the awkward moment when an usher gestured to her allocated seat and she realised it was right next to Kevin Rudd.

As Rudd stared stoically ahead, and Malcolm and Tamie Fraser stood waiting for her to squeeze past, Gillard bobbled back and forth, waving at a friend, not acknowledging the Frasers, leaving the usher in the aisle blinking at his seating plan. She stalled until a human buffer volunteered to sit next to her nemesis. For poor Rudd, who, alone among the four Labor PMs in the hall, barely elicited a clap from the crowd, the added indignity of a middle-aged version of Mean Girls must have stung.” [Miranda Devine]
