Assuming we’re not all wiped out by some man made clusterfuck, or living in a Gilligans Island meets Mad Max post apocalyptic lifestyle, I wonder what historians will write about Australia and it’s politics in this period.
I hope they dig up some your scribbles JB and make the kiddies in the future look at them as historical sources.
As someone who has a couple of decades of studying and teaching global sustainability in the rear-view, I think the last step of the Great Filter is going to bite us sometime this century. In 10 million years all the aliens will find is a very thin layer of geological strata littered with plastic and coal dust.
Gone are the days when the only threat that the Chinese posed to us was the danger of being run over by them in their Mercedes. Now that old fifties and sixties fear of the endless ranks of the soldiers of the Peoples Liberation Army storming our beaches, has now morphed an armada of fleets of naval and air craft lobbing hypersonic missiles from the comfort of their own bases, and all this from one of our nearest neighbours.
Every edition of the nationwide Pravda and the tabloid version, Izvestia, will invent every crime that the Labor party have ever commited, including the disappearance of Harold Holt.
Now that the fourth estate has been emasculated, the News Corp cabal are going to whip themselves into a frenzy, and have brought out their biggest guns. The Sky After Dark coven will be bolstered by Piers,the big mouth organ,Morgan and that wizand out blowhard, Alan, the blithering blusterer, Jones. Todays news that Jonesy has built a multi million dollar bunker to broadcast the message of the death of civilisation as we know it by the wokey anarchists, has emboldened the dark forces to make a pilgramage to his studio door. A golden hassock has been laid at his feet so that the fidei defensor may bask in his wisdom.
The Chinese Politburo have no defense against Jonesy, the shadow prime minister, and have instructed their fifth columnists to administer a large dose of Novichok as discreetly as possible.
The services of Andrew, Darwin Port, Robb have been called upon, to grovel at the feet of the Great Dictator, in the hope of averting another catastrophic political blunder for the liar from the shire.
Where is Andrew Downer when we need him, a microphone or two in Manasseh Sogavare cabinet room, would mean ASIS will not have to leave their Canberra citadel, just crowd around the speaker and order in some pizza.
Clusterfuckticians! Doing it wrong till they never don't do it wrong. Fail Dumpling Gang chuckles too. 35 airfields, Scomo coal cum could buy a $billion how now brown cow triangle sets for those. Better build 70 for our new nuclear flying fighter subs. Six weeks oh dear.
That Chinese boat that shone the laser in the pilots eyes off the Wessel islands was checking out the new NASA so called weather satellite launch facility at Gove. First launch in two months and then they're saying 100 a year. Gimme Shelter
Aaaah and then this great ad arrived in my inbox. Between this and your writingzzz I’ve been giggling all day. Would be funnier if it wasn’t so true: https://youtu.be/Gz4IkzM217U
Good start but it leaves out the gap between rich and poor in the same country, endemic corruption and the gargantuan excesses of the ruling class. Who do the police act for.? They are the tool of whatever hybrid system is in power
Yeah, Birmo nailed it first time. We live in a CORPOCRACY, they live in CORPOFASCISM. Neal Stephenson saw it coming in his novels in the 90s - corporations have been undermining democracy with lobbying, donations, political and regulatory capture for decades, to the point that governments are now largely irrelevant, mere mouthpieces for their corp-overlords.

This would amuse me bigly.
I would love a Gilligans Island
scenario. I bags Mary Anne
Back off, Professor. She’s mine.

You really should have your own column.

What is the most apt description of the Chinese system of governance? It sure isn't Communist if indeed any govt is or has ever been Communist.
That’sa great question. Some sort of corporatized fascism.

On second thought, corparitized fascism is perfect
