An Albegensian short of the caped crusader

Dear reader, a letter, from our sage of the near-north who has made an observation about our second greatest ever P.M that you wont find in the ‘Catholic Boys Daily’, ( the Australian) and a postscript from our man from beyond; ‘ A Town Like Alice”.
read on…

Sir Angus of Taylor seeks benediction from the Pope for ‘CLEAN COAL’ and a ‘GAS LED RECOVERY’!

‘Well now, ‘plus ca change…’
In 1209 the French town of Beziers, up the road from Carcassonne, was besieged by Crusaders . The town, it seems, was infected with the Cathar belief system which suggested that the world (and the Catholic Church) were corrupt and in league with Satan. Many, many people, too many as far as the Church was concerned, agreed with the Cathars.
‘Get rid of these bloody Cathars,” screamed the Vatican, ‘ they are becoming a serious threat to our profit margin! ‘
And so  the Albigensian Crusade began, with the town of Albi, in the Languedoc, where the worst of these heretics hung out. The besieged town of Beziers was also infected with both loyal Catholics and heretics. The Crusaders prepared to bust in.
‘If we are going to massacre people when we get inside,’ asked the siege commander politely, “how can we tell the righteous from the heretics?’

Carcasonne

‘Ah don’t bother your head with fucken details like that.’ replied the Cistercian abbot, who led the Crusade, making the sign of the cross and winking, ‘ Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.’

Heretics being pushed out of Barangaroo for questioning the benefit of gambling and CLEAN COAL as a National growth policy!

Which roughly translates as:
‘Kill them all, for fuck’s sake, God will recognize his own.’ (expletives added)
It is a disputed figure but one estimate puts the body count at twenty thousand.
It occurs to me that the West, and this includes our own evangelical ScoMo, by refusing to temporarily waive patents on vaccines,( so that people might live) is continuing the Vatican’s work. The profit motive is everything, as was the case back in 1209. The Vatican, the Church, already fabulously rich then, was protecting its right to make enormous amounts of  money through various systems of taxation, levies and loans.
To waive patents in modern times, even with our massive wealth, is an unthinkable heresy to Western ears.A time of plague is a time to make huge profits. Just like bread and cheese, medication is just another commodity to be bought and sold. The idea of selling something at cost or offered free (perish the thought) is absolute anathema to this modern Vatican.
‘How dare you believe that we would give you back your life at no cost. How very double dare you.’
‘But Lord ScoMo,  the streets are filled with the dead and dying.’
‘Let them die. God will recog– oh sorry, I’ll pray for them all, I promise.’
   Here’s modern Christianity continuing its two thousand year old tradition of unending corruption.How on God’s green earth can ScoMo, the U.S.and most of Western Europe’s Jesus obsessed rabble describe themselves as followers of God?  They are entirely without honour,  without compassion, a rag-tag remnant of the most corrupt religious business organization to have ever walked the earth.
People are falling down dead, all over the world, whilst these  ‘Christians’ turn their minds to maximising profit.
If Heaven exists and these men are asked to give an account of their stewardship I hate to think how their accounts might be received’.

Heretics beng pursued for rent, back-pay, leave loading and tax payer funded GAS LED RECOVERY FUNDS!

 

The postscript;

‘In Yuendumu, years ago, Brother Barry was a mechanic who also happened to be a fervent Pentecostal. He tried laying on of hands on broken down motorcars.

It didn’t work’.

Protocol at the ‘ GATES OF HELL’!

Ditto Dutto, a when impenetrable force meets implacable logic that Might is RIGHTEOUS!

NEXT BIT!!

Dear reader, as you may recall, our last episode had Ces and Quent confronting ‘Dutto’ and his side-kick ‘Benny Boy’, ‘Australia’s most decorated soldier’ under the labyrinthine network of  Canberra’s sewerage system. They were up to a fiendish plot to infect protesters with reconstituted mung beans, whole- foods and tofu derived from human poo, thus rendering them impotent as a protest group. How can this fiendish plan be stopped? And will our duo escape the grip of (arguably) the two most powerful men in the nation?  Find out in this next intestinally tightened episode ; 

Bionic Eye

Benny had to do what he had to do, that’s what we like about our elite soldiers in the SAS. They obey orders and above the din, his outline looming ghastly in the sulphurous glow. Dutto raised his right arm, and commanded;  “DO IT NOW!!”

Benny laughed maniacally, and punching us both good naturedly in the stomach so that we were winded and doubled up in pain, he said: ‘You’ll love this’! And walking over to a huge wheel he applied all his manly weight to it. Slowly and surely it moved. As the wheel creaked and groaned and the rust flakes poured off it  in a sooty crescendo of dis-use, we became aware that the surface of the wall opposite us was moving. For sure enough, ‘Benny-Boy’ was opening up an enormous door, larger than  an aircraft hangar and made from our observation and experience in metallurgy whilst on secondment to the Minerals and Energy Council of high grade tungsten reinforced steel. 

Benny-Boy really put his weight behind it, and immersed in this Herculean task , shouted above the din. “ it’s moving Boss, shall I take it all the way’?

The Master!

“Yes’! The Gau- leiter affirmed, and Benny-Boy increased his grip and the door opened further, revealing a flight of steps that seemed to go upward and upwards, right into the very core of our Federal Parliament. 

There was an enormous jarring metallic clang, and the door stopped. Benny, now shirtless, wiped his brow, and picking up an old service Webley, (as Anzac day approaches our finest are encouraged to use historical fire-arms that have served us well in containing evil-doers) he motioned, “Stay put’! , And for a minute outlined in the blackness, he paused, and calling over the top of our heads, to Dutto, he declared;  “I’ll go in, first, then you follow’. WE saw Dutto nod, and then with a wave of his hand bid Benny-Boy onwards. 

From within the dark portal, Benny’s voice echoing in the stygian gloom, “ok boys follow me’!, he uttered a sinister chuckle and then to our horror began a corrupted version of the teddy bears picnic; 

‘If you go down to the woods to day

You’ll get a big surprise, 

If you go down to the woods to day

You’ll get one right between yer eyes’…..

What choice had we? To drown in the filthy corrupted goo? Or do as bid and take a punt on Benny eliciting a shred of Human decency… Logic proclaimed our answer, we followed. 

Benny and his mates on a recruitment drive

Barely had we stepped within the portal when as if by magic, the mighty doors clanged shut. The metallic boom resonated, and all was silent, and deathly black. But in the distance we could see Benny, outlined in the halo of his zippy lighter, ( Defence directorate;  Zippy lighters may be worn by servicemen and worn for the duration of this week in homage to Australia’s Anzac heroes, ) 

‘C’mon dummies, you don’t want to miss what we’ve got waiting for you”?

A pit full of vipers? 

A wild pack of wolves?

Sharks?

A tank filled with blue-ringed octopi? 

A national party backbencher with a texting addiction on a bad day? 

The only thing to fear was fear itself, but we were afraid to say we were consumed by fear. 

WOKE IN FRIGHT!

Clearly ‘Benny Boy’ had become ‘Dutto’s Toy’, and there was no use being Coy. We were immersed in their corrupted ploy, but to what end? Find out in our next deeply seated episode, ‘A tunnel to oblivion’? Or  “the PLIGHT of  Duttons Dight”. (Courtesy of the Minerals and Energy Council).

 

Many a slip tween (a lost) cup and lip,

‘The Fog of war’, Houswife Maureen Drabley enjoys “a nice cup of tea’ after spring cleaning. London1940.

 

The following is a troubling account of an individual surffering from LCS, (Lost Cup Syndrome). Our in-house Physician, Dr Eugene Von-Fangle, suggests this as another case of post-covid cup syndrome, in which hitherto obvious and accessible household items become lost due to the psycho-physical impact of post-covid disorientation syndrome.  This condition is occasioned by ; “moments of incomprehensible frustration, disorientation in the kitchen or bathroom, and a compelling desire to find something that is not entirely lost‘.
We hope the writers condition is treatable, and if you have a problem with LCS and are afflicted, please contact our national LCS Crisis-line staff who all trained NDIS operatives. They will politely put you on hold and hope you discretely go away.

The afflicted writes;

A confused soldier suffering LCS mistakes a prosthetic foot for a “nice Cup of tea” Afghanistan 2012.

‘I arose from my creative endeavours, wondering where my cup might be.

Then, maybe fifteen minutes later, hunting high up and low down, in the cupboards, in the sink, down to the bathroom, then the bedroom, (Where in the name of Jeyesified Christ did I put it?)  On, on and on I stumbled, praying to the Blessed Saint Jude, begging the Finder of Lost Things to rid me of this Sisyphean task. By this time I’m out in the garden, or groping around in the shed as the wind, again and again, slams the door shut.This leaves me in the murderous dark where, any minute now a crowbar or a more predictable rake might come powering through the Stygian gloom and smash my unsuspecting head amidships. Sobbing I fling the door open and burst gratefully into the light. Then, miracle of miracles, old St Jude hits me with a corker! Use a different cup! The simplicity of this solution, the pure unembroidered truth of this quite took my breath away. All of my pent up pentuppery, all of my weak-willed, savage need to kick the heads off my19th century garden gnomes was. of an instant. banished. Instead, golden sunbeams dappled the very air itself, and birds, a celestial choir, sprinkled the morning with song.
Tripping lightly as a faun, I hied myself to the kitchen, seized me a fresh cup, filled it with cold coffee from the plunger, then, milked and sugared, I turned to the microwave. Indecent expletives rent the air. There, cooling its heels within was my lost coffee cup,  full and uncaring, an alien skin forming slowly on its microwavial surface. The very same cup I had placed in the microwave not an hour ago–and forgotten.
 Appalled at this terrifying revelation I  stood in my kitchen, distractedly rending my garments. This proved decidedly difficult. To this day I remain convinced that Biblical Middle Easterners carried those wickedly curved knives, not , as it is popularly held, to assist them in random assassinations, but to help them in perplexed moments  when the rending of garments is the only available option. A couple of discreet, understated slashes (soon mended) and  you are done, whereas, by the time rending with brute strength has exhausted you, your mood has changed and you have destroyed a perfectly good jacket.
So please, please, please:
Stop thinking the worst, when you’re not really cursed,
Cast aside all our medical marvels,
Remember you must? Check the microwave first!
Lest you really are losing your marbles!

DAME NORAH BOOTH (who will probably be remembered)

MDFF Armenians, Turks, Israelis, Mapuches and Australian Aborigines- April 2021

Essalamu aleikum,

A friend has sent me a book- ‘Los Mapuche’, which it goes without saying deals with the Mapuche people of southern Chile and Argentina. It outlines the history of Colonization, the wars of attrition, the massacres, the expropriation of their lands and so forth. It also outlines the Mapuche struggles to maintain their ethnic and linguistic identity and to self-determination.
It didn’t surprise me but the analogies to the situation vis a vis Australian Aborigines is striking.
If in the book I’d replaced ‘Mapuche’ with ‘Warlpiri’ few further changes would have been needed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m2oRRI-1KY

In 1944 Rafael Lemkin, whose extended family had been virtually exterminated during the Shoah, coined the word ‘genocide’.

American President Biden’s acknowledgement that what happened to the Armenians in Anatolia was a ‘genocide’ reminded me of a documentary I saw years ago which discussed the Israeli authorities’ Armenian Holocaust denial. I also remember that throughout the world if you were a Turkish ambassador or consul, it was impossible for you to obtain life insurance (Australia’s Turkish Consul-General was assassinated in 1980, he was one of many).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LajSL2Odsz8

Apart from April Fool’s Day, the month of April has some very significant anniversaries:

April 20th– Adolf Hitler’s birthday
April 24th– Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day
April 25th– Anzac Day

Australia celebrates glorious defeats such as the Gallipoli battle. The Eureka Stockade and Ned Kelly’s last stand at Glenrowan come to mind, let alone the song that nearly (came second in a referendum) became our National Anthem, a song about a sheep thief who committed suicide rather than be apprehended by the fuzz.

The Mapuche book included some details on the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide promoted by the aforementioned Raphael Lemkin.

Article II defines ‘genocide’
“In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(and lists five such acts, including: )
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

So where does that leave Australian authorities with its past and ongoing Stolen Generations?
Phew! They’re off the hook- they claim they didn’t and don’t ‘intend to destroy’.

PS- Efforts to have My Yuendumu Story printed are continuing and I can clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Another fragment of poetry of an Anzac Sundee,

At Gallipoli, wounded officers opted for the ‘scenic route’ back to the beaches.

Dear reader, another piece from Geoff Boyes, and fittingly as our typesetter Bert Crooksedge, (former stretcher bearer Fifth Batallion AIF) celebrates his 123rd birthday, he recounts his vision of God on the shores of that fateful beach at Gallipoli. In Bert’s own words;

‘It was a bit dark and no sooner had we left the barges when I saw before me an image of God, all dressed in white walking amongst the scrub, pointing the way to Constantinople. Or maybe it was a goat? Couldn’t tell it was so dark”.

A cross country stretcher ride through salt bush was also popular amongst officers

Was it an aparition? We may never know. But as Bert has clearly out-lasted his Turkish foe to be the last ever Anzac still alive it’s fair to declare Gallipoli is now  “WON” by the righteous force of Empire and KING!

God Save The KING!

Food for thought? Or the GODS? You decide .

The Poem is aptly namd the Laughing God. Take it away Geoff…..(and God),

The Laughing God. 

What is it you see,

When you look upon me?

What destiny lay in your hands?

A puppet, am I?

A pawn or a spy?

Willing to heed your demands?

Each time I take a step, it seems

Towards a goal, 

Towards a dream

“Acting the Goat’ Regmental Donkey. A Donkey.

Or reach to find, a higher path

All I see is a stumbling block

Or else a wall of glass.

 

Is all life a test, all experience hard won?

A lesson, a wall, 

Or just an illusion

Does our knowledge count for none?

Do you sit and watch us fall?

Laughing, while we wonder lost, 

Amidst the confusion.

 

Cpl Bert Culthorpe filling sandbags outside the makeshift office of the batallion news sheet ‘Blood-n-Bone”, Gallipoli May 1915.

Is there a scheme, can you tell me?

A reason,

For this weary path I’ve trod?

Order from despair,

Could you really care?

Or would you leave us in ignorance…….

Laughing God.

the tick tick ticking Cartier, (en Francaise)

Dear reader,

In the end, it’l always be a sheilah who’s hung out to dry!

Our duo are in deep shit. We understand this is a cheap expression, but it just goes to show how SERIOUS things have become! Ces and Quent are embedded with Dutto and Benny Boy (Ben Roberts Smith), beneath the fundament of Canberra. What happens next may beggar description. But as Christi,ne Holgate reminds us, it’s all depressingly true, and by her watch a low point in the fortunes of this government. Will our heroes have a penny left to spend? Or has Christine already spent it? Find out, and read on in our next grippingly intestinal episode…..…time is ticking be it Cartier or a more affordable Seiko. Is the Seiko washable? waterproof? Or will it be a shower-scene from Seiko?

 

read on…..

Benny was guided by Dutto

It provides enrertainment to the masses, and is guarranteed as a crowd pleaser.

Benny knew exactly what to do, being a member of the SAS he knew all about precision. And it only took one signal from Dutto and Benny leaped to attention. We could see him composing himself, and then as if by instinct Benny grabbed a huge spoon from the side of the wall, and waiting for another signal, an imperative “Now” from Dutto he plunged it into the oleaginous goo and with a Chefs dexterity ladeled the contents into a sort of triangular beaker .

He then poured the beaker into another sampler, this one was long, took up half the room and as we watched it froth and spume into a sort of funnel, we could see lights flashing convulsively as the contents passed through some sort of analysis. We couldn’t make head nor tail of it, though we knew that something was seriously big in the offing. And somehow or another, the spectral outline of Dutto reflected in the haze, the light, and the monitor looked more ghastly, more incomprehensibly sinister than ever. 

And when they cry on telly or talk of topping emselves Australia gets to feel “REAL GOOD”!

‘What’s the reading Benny Boy’?

‘All good Boss’, we expected him to say “Master’, but more intriguingly when Dutto asked about the read-out? Benny responded with mechanical precision, ‘ all the indices are up, we’re tracking vector tango banana’. 

Even the P.M will shed a tear when he’s on telly. Provided the sheilah aint a “squealer” it’s a DEALA!

WE had no idea what ‘vector tango banana’ was but we knew even a banana in the wrong hands could lead to serious breach of acceptable norms, and the way Benny and Dutto were in lock-step made us deeply worried and more worried still that somehow, our presence may be a catalyst for some hitherto unspeakable crime.  For what else could bring the strongest, arguably bravest soldier ever and the most powerful policeman in the southern hemisphere, our very own ‘Dutto- Cop’ be in such a situation?

Ces had had enough, he piped up in spite of the din, the steam and the swirling odiferous miasma of fume and froth,  

‘What are you up to’? 

Dutto pretended to not listen, but then, almost robotically he delivered a new soliloquy, and this one more chilling than anything said on the floor of Parliament, 

‘We’re collecting Canberra’s DNA, after not getting the Australia Card across, facial tattooing or compulsory ankle bracelets. etc… to store the DNA and match it with facial recognition, and then to target whole-food groceries with DNA and genetically enhanced foodstuffs, and so render that voting block of greenies invalid.

Guaranteed the lick-spittle will dob in the last sheilah left standing. IT’S THE AUSTRALIAN WAY! …. ONYA MATE!

‘But how’? Ces probed,  

‘By turning their very own shit into wholegrain cereal, and then, feed it back to em. 

But Dutto has bigger fish to fry!

You see the demo upstairs, (he indicated to the above ground), is all grist to the mill, They’re lefty pinko protesters, they gather to protest rights and all that bullshit. Whilst they’re here we DNA sample their shit, match it to facial recognition find out what trendy vegan-friendly diet of whole grains they’re on, then convert their shit onto Tofu and Mung Beans. Then  cos we know that the same lefty shit-strirring wankers will go to Canberra’s whole-food shops after the demo and order their lentils and chai vegan latte drinks, we’ll serve their own genetically modified shit back to em as whole-food. 

And just when they think they’ve got the numbers  to alter public opinion we’ll leak to em that they’re all corrupted by Genetically Modified Grains, (GMG”s), courtesy of Dow and Monsanto, and other trace elements. They’ll eventually take a sample and go into a tail spin.  Being fed their own shit will shut em up for decades, and with a bit of luck they wont ever bother going back to Canberra. And we’ll be left alone to bring in a new level of accountability to the NDIS, deaths in custody, gay rights, you name it. They’ll be so compromised they’ll wish they were dead. And this is the best part, cos we know who they are we’ll Robo-debt em if they’re on the dole, mental health, pension you name it and they’ll be inclined to top em selves just like the last time. This’ll tip em over the proverbial straw, or as we say the lentil that broke the Hari Krishna’s begging bowl’, 

Dutto had just finished, a wry grin transforming his face, and for Benny, ‘Garn boss can I waste these cunts now? Can I can I huh’?

Dutto, a true leader checking up on our “brave boys in Afghanistan” to see whether their Working with Children certification is still valid.

‘it’s a win win for government either way a problem is solved, and the economics stack up better than the intervention, whaddayou reckon’? 

Both Ces and I were dumbstruck! This was beyond megalomanic, it was diabolical. It was the terror  incarnate .Was this the end of civilisation? Will Dutto and Benny-boy get away with it? And will Miss Culthorpe’s oppressor ever be caught?  Find out in our next genetically modified instalment. ‘Is this the end of history’?….. or….’ Is it a history of ends’? 

Clean Suspenders

During a recent trip to Sin City I spied this curiosity – Travelling Suspender Cleaners. I’d never thought of this as a vocation. Probably less in demand now than in the fifties and sixties I postulated. 

I sought comment from Ira Maine – herewith is his response:

Dear Sir,
There are those amongst us who might take issue with you on this matter. I might remind you that the Order of the Garter still exists, nay flourishes amongst the upper echelons of society. Societies abound unnoticed, unheralded but enthusiastically supported by those of us who appreciate their true value. Belonging to such a society is, despite your protests, regarded by many as perhaps the only true vocation.
Allow me to make a point or two with regard to the supplied photograph.

The success of these societies depends, surely on which practitioner is wearing the suspender belt, how ‘vigorous’ the wearer has been, the location involved etc. etc. As can be seen from the attached photo, this vehicle is obviously attending the aftermath of a particularly enthusiastic outdoor encounter, perhaps an exclusive ‘Followers of the Belt’ club outing judging by the queue assembled at top left. It is of course only to be speculated upon but, judging by the lowering skies in the background, I would have thought this had been a particularly muddy, but gloriously fruitful encounter where, in one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ happenings, a dizzying level of heightened abandon had gripped the entire company. This would have  resulted in the usual civilised restraints being cast aside in favour of the heart-pounding joys of Saturnalia.

Without a doubt these types of activities would of course demand the attendance on site of the vehicle in question. One cannot, in all good conscience, return to the suburbs, to one’s ordered existence, in a state of deshabille. The world must turn and one’s reputation, not to say one’s  proclivities must be at all times protected.
I sincerely hope this note has helped to alleviate any lingering doubts you might have retained regarding the various enthusiasms entertained by some of our societies.
For the Office of the Chief Whip,
Penny Trajan

More poetry of a Sundee

Dear reader, another one from that scribe from the near north. From the man who goes by the name ‘Geoff’. On a biographical note, Geoff’s interest in natural history and photography marks him as an individual of refined character, so is his taste in reds. This poem goes to the heart of the matter. Because a good red, and the appreciation therein is all heart.

And we must remind the more budget conscious amongst our readership that the best red  money can buy may be purchased at any budget supermarket that has its origins in Germany. Though we are loathe to plug private enterprise we highly reccomend the ‘El Toro Macho’, competitively priced a $5.95. A wine of scintillating variety that combines, piquant essence of grape, with a fair dollop of dust.

Not necessarily the best choice, your company

Not the worst

Anytime dinner companion

But I’ll choose you anyway

 

The good and the not so good, your poison

And quite a few mornings along the way

For other reasons too, mostly selfish

 

Take away the edge of the day that’s been

Sometimes the line

Between letting it go, or not

Choosing to fight or just sit it out

An odiferous encounter that goes deep…

Dear reader, not the death mask of Amenhotep 2 (third dynasty BC) but the likeness of Australia’s most powerful man, the Gauleiter of Brisbane.

Dear reader, once again, we return to our heroes who have just been plucked from the fundament by none other than Ben Roberts Smith, who is working as a factotum, (ask Boris what that means)  for none other than the most powerful individual in the land, the Gauleiter of Brisbane, Lord Peter of Dutton. What will happen next beggars belief, but after the goings on in Parliament, you’d better bloody believe it. 

Read on…..

And quick as a flash Benny pulled out what looked like a mobile phone; “Data report Boss, Cockburn and poole eta 4.54 pm”, 

‘Perfect’!  Dutto replied; “that’s forty five minutes ago. Reckon that’s when you blokes checked in’. 

“But…but’ Ces was curious to know how they so accurately pin-pointed our descent into Canberra’s sewerage system,  “how…..how do you know it was us’? 

‘Simple, its the remote DNA sampler. I have it checking in on Canberras sewerage. On flow analysis really. We just match it with the facial recognition and voila, a perfect fit.

Amazing, we were gob- smacked, again;  ‘But to what end’?

“Prince amongst the Pong”

‘What end? Ask Barnaby he’s full of it! Coming from you lot that’s a bit rich’. He laughed uproariously just as a vast plume of evil smelling steam diffused his outline into a ghastly apparition of monstrous intensity.

Dutto was not listening to anything we said. He was in charge and in full force.  The sewerage, the labyrinth, the odour had conspired to elevate him, ‘a Prince amongst the Pong’ as Ces whispered, and we had to agree. This was his kingdom. Queensland was just his play- thing. And with ‘Benny- Boy’ in tow his power was unassailable. We could just tell he was about to fulminate into a odiferous soliloquy and whichever way you looked at it we were about to get a hearing steeped in the traditions of Witness K. 

Dutto waving his Field Marshalls baton stepped up to a sort of rostrum, beneath it, draped the Australian flag, and dimly illuminated above him like a halo the acid etched out-line of the greatest military decoration ever, the VC, and the stirring words, “For Valour”!

Dutto began; 

The halo of RIGHTEOUSNESS! More powerful than Asio, and on a higher moral authority than any of the great thngs we;ve done in Afganistan this past twenty years.

“We’ve tried the Australia card, the Basics card, the Medicare card, facial recognition, you name it! And the  do-gooders and lefties stop us every time by crying ‘civil liberties and freedom of association’ and all that bullshit. Only way we can get a full identity on a macro as well as a micro scale is through this. This little number.  He waved the Field Marshals baton in the air, until we realised it was the sewerage on stream DNA sampler. He looked at it reverentially, his eye twitched with emotional fury. “A gift from our mates at Monsanto. The sewerage synthesis data sampler. My idea! You’ll never find this little beauty in Senate Estimates”!

‘What!  So all of this is top secret’? Ces was shocked that one man could hold the might of universal DNA sampling in his hand. Dutto, gleaming with self satisfaction matter of factly gave his reply. “Yup, even ASIO is unawares of what goes on beneath em”. 

Jeez, I remarked; “but is it legal”?

Dutto laughed uproariously, “what fucken planet are youse on’?  Typical of you lefty pinko wankers! Legal aint got nothing to do with it! Aint that right Benny-Boy’? Benny replied and saluted with trained precision; ‘Too fucken right Pete!  Can I waste these cunts now’?

“Not yet Benny, good things come to those who wait’.  Dutto continued; ‘Good to see a man who loves his work, you’d do well to heed his example, but then, the problem with youse bastards, you cant be learnt’. Being a Queenslander we understood what Dutto was saying in spite of the grammatical errors.  In this sense Dutto had a Joyce-ean grasp of language. But in the strictest sense it was not James but Barnaby who was responsible for his vernacular. 

‘Look here sonny Jim! I’m the law, on my watch, everything is legal’.

Some of the good Benny-Boy and his mates have been doing in Afghanistan. Giving the locals a taste of CIVILISATION and good ol Aussie values.

And with that he clicked his fingers, ‘You know what to do Benny Boy’?

‘Righto Boss’, 

What did Benny know what to do?

Is it safe? Will it be in accordance to the Geneva Convention? And will it bring us any closer to finding Miss Culthorpe’s culprit?

Find out in our next episode.

To dump or to jump?  is that the question’?

or….

’Three coins in the fundament’…

Between a sump and less than sumptuous

Big Ben! Benny-boy to his mates! So Big his V.C is EXTRA LARGE and tatooed to his chest. Thus protecting him from towel flicking and sand kicking on beaches.

Dear reader once again our heroes are in more trouble than a Senate Estimates Committee with our heroes perilously close to being flushed into oblivion, trapped within Canberra’s sewerage system. How bad can things get? Will they get worser? Find out in the next grammatically challenging episode as we search for the penis wielding oppressor who so callously defiled Miss Culthorpe. Read on….

The hand that picked em up was Ben Roberts Smith.

“Gday fellas we’d been expecting youse”. 

Before we had time to correct Ben’s grammatically incorrect usage of the third person plural collective, and the astonishment that HE was our saviour we became aware of the ghastly environment he was working in. Worse than anything he’d encountered on active duty, and more profoundly evil than Dante, the inferno, and the bloke who lit the bloody inferno in the first place.   As we looked across, we could see the rivulets of raw sewerage being siphoned into great vats, and then from the vats themselves a plume of incandescent sulphurous gas!

Our very own HULK! The Colossus of Canberra.

All around us the din of whirring blades and the hissing from valves as the sewerage was then heated and piped to a labyrinth of pipes, levers and sluices that all hissed and seethed menacingly. And from each aperture the foetid oozing of the corrupted froth, flushing, fulminating and flouncing the flocculated particles pursuant to the phenomenological processes of gravity and nature. 

Jeez, as we had a second or two to grasp the situation Ben, grinning form ear to ear shouted over the top of the seething corrupted din of filth and fume “Hey boss they’re ere, and a sight for sore eyes if ain aint seen nuffink’? 

The boss? Sore eyes? There was more than one individual in the mix, and then, no sooner than the thought had crossed our mind we heard the singing again, this time it wasn’t just eerie, it was scary. 

‘If you knew suzie like I knew suzie,  oh oh oh what gal

If you knew suzie like I knew suzie, oh oh oh what a gal’, 

What was this?  Then the whistling, to a man Ces and I hate whistling, and this bloke was the worst.  He was doing trills and spills and rolling the long notes, and we thought to know this tune, one of Eddie Cantors finest he must be really fucken old, and yet it seemed familiar… 

Who could it be?

Ben broke the silence:

‘Can I let em go, or do you want me to waste the cunts’? Waste the cunts? That sounded familiar, was it one of Bens mates in the SAS? 

‘Do you like Pina colada,

And getting caught in the rain, 

Do you like making love at midnight,

well, then this is my refrain’, 

Ok boss, i’ll let em go, but can I scratch em a bit?

“Just one moment” came a voice from the gloomy interior,  and then a terrific crash, from the other side of a long and foreboding corridor. Sort of like a Bunnings but without the shelving and the 5 dollar deals. Ben grinning like an idiot, still had us by the scruff of the neck, he was in full combat gear and looked scary. 

The Nefarious ‘Dutto’, working underground to SAVE AUSTRALIA!

Then, we saw a shadow. It was HUGE, and the shadow loomed over us, and from behind  a screen emerged our nemesis. ‘Dutto’!

‘Knew you’d show up’!

“What?  After you kicked us out’!

‘Nup the moment I saw youse.  You nosey types always return to the scene of the crime’.

‘Scene of the what’?

‘SHUT UP’!

‘Give em a demo Benny Boy’!

What was Benny- Boy Australia’s most decorated soldier “EVER” working with Dutto beneath the corridors of power on?

The Bionic eye is a masterpiece of engineering.

What impact will their nefarious deeds have upon the Australian body politic?
