With this being the second last Xcreta-of-the-Week column before referendum day, our judges have once again unashamedly concentrated on the Voice to Parliament issue.
Are we all getting ready, BUGgers to try to explain to friends and relatives outside this great brown land of ours how, if the polls prove right, we have managed as a supposedly fair and decent peoples who believe in a fair go to vote down an innocuous, harmless, long-overdue concept of a non-binding, advisory body of First Nations peoples to our parliament on matters that affect them.
Sure, we’ll try to explain how hard it is to effect change to our Constitution without bipartisan support, and how poor old Oz was swamped, with the help of a compliant mainstream media, with bucketloads of shitty lies about the Voice.
To that end, our judges selected as this week’s winner Victoria Fielding for her post (at top and below) that expressed a heartfelt and powerful sense of loss of faith in the Australian people.
Things might still turn around in the next 12 days or so but her feelings right at this moment appear spot on.
A similar lament comes courtesy of Stella Yee YES.
Another thing we’ll be able to at least try to explain to overseas folk in the event of a loss is that if Peter Dutton thinks there’s going to be some magical lift in his political fortunes for all those shitty lies he and his No! people have been sprouting, then we can all channel Darryl Kerrigan: “Tell ‘im he’s dreamin’!”
Let’s give Victoria Fielding a second bite of the cheery on that theme – she’s penned so much awesome stuff over recent times – along with the also prolific amante2
Our favourite witches reminded us all of one of the great lies of the No campaign, even though they were probably talking more about Rupert Murdoch’s laughable boast – another great lie – that he was always out to get the “elites”. Goebbels would be proud of the neat reversal behind both lies!
Suzie Susan Walker had a very simple explanation as to why decent, intelligent, caring Australians everywhere should be voting Yes…
… and you’re spot on, Suzie Susan Walker! Forced to ensure a dinner party with any of these dreadful people would surely be hell on earth.
In the meanwhile, JayJay had some fun with Michaelia Cash who loves to dress in white seeing it matches her whiteboard.
The other story of the week that made the Xcrement flow was Daniel Andrews’ courageous decision to quit politics at a time of his choosing – and the totally predictable outrage his decision sparked in what has to be the world’s worse domestic mainstream mediocre ever.
Here’s just a taste, from bradpsychology. Oh, bradpsychology, if only telling these non-journalists/ LNP publicity officers to piss off actually worked a treat! What a more decent, fairier, Australia we would have. Not to mention giving the once proud craft of real journalism a chance to recover.
We’ll run many of them tomorrow, but until then, let’s finish with a short-sharp Xcreta from former top newspaper columnist Terry Sweetman about a certain public holiday in Queensland today.
