The PR Blog

I have just finished reading a very interesting and critical article  about the ABC .. Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

 

Once upon a time the first Channel on TV I went to was the ABC.   It has to be months since I,  other than when I am changing channels,  have watched anything on Channel 21 or   24.     It was always my favourite channel, good British   shows,  and to think that  I even watched David Attenborough ....  that man has last the plot !!   All you seem to hear and see from  the ABC now are people talking and behaving in a way that we are not used to.

 

For goodness sake  get someone in charge of the ABC that will start entertaining and informing the Australian people again.     

I feel somewhat bogged down today. The weight of what is happening here in Australia and overseas in America, the UK, Hong Kong and elsewhere seems to be a weight that is increasingly heavy. People say that you need to straighten your shoulders, pull your gut in and stand tall - but, right now, it is damned hard to do so. The weight is so heavy.

Can we throw this burden of bulls##t off? 

 

 

I see that the hashtag “ Quiet Australians “ is trending on twitter. I read the tweets and they seem to be all about tearing down the quiet Australian, not identifying who that person is.

That person is ME. A quiet Australian. Tolerant, kind, decent, nice - just a normal sort of person. Yet, apparently, I am the enemy. The Quiet Australian is :

The Enemy.

 

 

I am often amazed that cats allow us to take care of them.  After all, they are so wise, so independent and so arrogant.Why do so many of us love them?Because they are so wise, so independent and so arrogant. 

Like children and babies, do we deserve their trust?  

Ok,  I know I am dreaming, as Darryl Kerrigan would have said, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if Queensland went True Blue, Dinkie Die, proper old fashioned and the pair of Outsiders won the election and we got our State back? If it happened, it would be going straight to the pool room.

Anyone who remembers that iconic movie from the 80’s The Castle will remember old mate Darryl fighting for the right to stay in his home.

Scott Morrison is keen to promote the trade pact he has agreed to enter into with 15 other Asia-Pacific nations. 

Apparently it is going to be very good for Australia!
