Suddenly it is upon us. Like an unexpected thunderstorm that seemingly comes from nowhere. Next Tuesday, April 2, the Treasurer of Australia will present an unnecessary, premature election budget.
Bill Shorten will deliver his address in reply, then the Prime Minister will, after seeing the Governor, announce the date of the next election.
This Government has for a long time now been experiencing a terminal but drawn out, and at times painfully slow death that would have been better for the country if a severe form of euthanasia had been used.
However, like many others who write for The AIMN we should be eternally grateful for the unending stream of pitiful governance this country has ever seen.
Please excuse my negativity but writers of talent could hardly ignore such tit bits of unscrupulous governance. We rejoiced in the opportunities.
We have never had to suffer writer’s block because the conservatives have provided us with ample scoops of salacious tit bits of backbench threats, sexism, self-gratification, racist whispers and other seedy events like bedroom frolics that guaranteed to make the climate change.
Not only that, we should get on our collective knees and thank them for 6 years of scandal, deplorable leadership and nothing to show for their endless pursuit of political oblivion.
And as we approach these dismal final days in which the Australian public will make its judgement as to who should lead us next we writers of The AIM will be faced with the question; will it ever be this good again? Will our fingers ever feel such heat from the keys again?
Of course, the answer to that is in the future where as we are concerned with today and not the possibility of good governance tomorrow.
Of course it would be remiss of me, even bad mannered, if I didn’t show my appreciation to those members of the media who so diligently provided us with so many lies that they made our work so much easier.
And of course one cannot forget those rags, the Murdoch publications (disrespectful, I know) where the truth goes to die.
And their writers, those who write so much gutter drivel that our fingers become unconstrained and jump at the opportunity to correct their every lie.
You know them, the likes of Andrew Bolt, Piers Akerman, Janet Albrechtson, Miranda Devine, Dennis Shanahan, Chris Kenny, Gerard Henderson et al. All of whom are paid enormous sums to titillate the moronic and stupefy the masses into believing that greed is good and reading their gutter journalism is the truth.
For our part we have been delighted to be able to correct the likes of Alan Jones and the other shock jocks who are remunerated with enormous sums for being controversial, exaggerating, misleading and telling lies. Even pulling down the characters of good people.
And what would we have written about if Prime Ministers Abbott and Turnbull had not been stabbed in the back. With 6 years of turmoil, of in-fighting we have had to have our fingers on notice night and day.
We have never known what our leaders have stood for. They tried to kid us into believing they had the country first and foremost in their hearts but we found that Tony had his own interests on top of his list. He spent three years trying to destroy his own party by turning them into right-wing fascists.
Then Turnbull bought his own prime ministership but ended up being the greatest hypocrite we have ever known. He sold himself out.
Lastly, we have Morrison, who says he is of Christian background but his actions suggest the complete opposite.
All three have done, in one way or another, their very best to destroy the structures of our democracy. Goodness knows what I would have done without the ‘Notes’ app on my iPad.
Yes Paddy, as I so affectionately call it, has done his fair share of work over the years. I would hate to know how many pieces I have posted on The AIM and Facebook.
I don’t think I have come across a government with so many idiots in its ranks. Miranda Devine once described them as the most educated group ever assembled. If that is so then why the daily dose of Trumpish-like blunders and near death experiences.
Fairdinkum, if you think I am a trifle annoyed you would be right. Look at this list of ‘contributors’ to this blog. Abbott, Joyce, Christiansen, Andrews, Dutton, Freydenberg, O’Dwyer, Price, Pyne, Robert, Morrison, Wilson, Zimmerman, Cannavan, Williams, O’Sullivan, and of course the red-haired one.
I have never been lost for a word with this lot of moronic individuals. In 6 years of writing my typing has improved immensely. So I have much to thank these unworthy politicians for and I hope that in return my words have expressed my most robust appreciation.
In just a few more days a budget the opposite of 2014 will be presented to the parliament. Everything else they have touched has failed now they will try to buy us. It will be an election budget and not a nation building one.
So the time has come for those on my side to unite our fingers and let the keys do the talking.

My thought for the day
The left of politics is concerned with people who cannot help themselves. The right is concerned with those who can.
