The Federal Parliament is in even more disarray than usual over the dual citizenships of various politicians. Apparently, it is feared they may have divided loyalties.
Divided loyalties? Never! Their only loyalty is to themselves and hanging onto their positions long enough to qualify for their outrageously huge and lifelong pensions and perks (their emoluments and "expenses" as sitting members are no less generous, even though most hold fewer qualifications than are deemed necessary for a lavatory attendant).
Let's hope that in the meantime we don't get invaded by a hostile army because our own army has stopped recruiting male soldiers until there's no longer a gender imbalance. To speed up the process, female recruits are required to be capable of doing FOUR push-ups only (there's hope for me yet!) Perhaps they should insist on good looks as well so that the enemy soldiers, instead of shooting, simply fall in love with them.
Speaking of love, our beloved and dead-in-the-water Prime Minister is trying to drum up votes by fortifying our cities with concrete bollards to prevent further terrorist attacks. Put them at the airport, Mr Turnbull, so they won't come into the country in the first place!
And then there was Pauline Hanson's so-called burqa-stunt. To me it seemed a timely reminder of what our parliament may look like one day if we allow Muslim immigration to continue unabated. "Would the female member for Lakemba please put the microphone under her burqa so we can all hear what she's saying?"
Attorney-General George Brandis immediately became an extremist for political correctness by defending the burqa as a religious symbol, presumably on par with beheadings, stoning to death, chopping off of hands, female genital mutilation, etc. And the whole House gave him a standing ovation!!! The only time I ever got a standing ovation was when I addressed the Australian Haemorrhoid Association. Why not have a postal vote on the banning of burqas as well as on the Adam-and-Steve debate, Mr Brandis? I'm sure many Australians find a burqa far more confronting than seeing two men holding hands in public.
Meanwhile, an Anglican priest in Goulburn who doesn't even know how to put his collar on the right way round, was seen standing in front of his church's billboard which proclaimed 'GOD BLESS THE BURQA'.
Thank God I'm an atheist. And thank God I'm far away from it all at "Riverbend" with its bucketloads of serenity. How's your serenity?
Not so good? Come on, watch some more of THE CASTLE to cheer up:
