S2E2 CORONADEMIC

This may be Sir Roger at his passionate, optimistic, honest, humane best, Has this pandemic been the worst ever social and economic disaster in our lifetimes? Or has it been the squealing brakes we needed, to curb our pre-pandemic headlong, tunnel-vision rush towards . . . well, where? . . . And is it unprecedented? Or is it just one of the smaller health crises in roughly 300,000 years of the human story?. What has roared up to surprise us is an incredible global treasure-trove and display of c...

S2E1 Rude Britannia & Australian Values

There is a fantasy that very polite people hang desperately onto. It is the pretence that what is so is not so—that the fortune; the titles; the servants and land; the privilege and status you enjoy, were not stolen by you or your murderous, barbarian ancestors . . . and that what is not so, is so—that the world is cucumber sandwiches for tea; silk dresses; that the forelock tugging minions admire and respect you; and the divine right of robber barons. This has been going on for many hundreds of...

Porter Loo

Porter Loo Christian Porter is the Minister for Industrial Relations . This apparently means that he is effectively the minister for industrialists . We know this is who he is because he sees a tiny attempt to help people who need help as “a massive tax”, as “killing business”, even though he touts " Australian Values " of fairness which he appears to ignore. You might think that with a name like Christian he would be a little more, you know, christian. Part 2 Update : Apart from celebrating Wor...

How Australian Values Are Changing

Australian Politics is being nudged on a trajectory outside the known universe to delusional realms of a conspiratorial Fantasia. Otherwise normal people at the highest levels of government and commerce are fierce advocates of “theories” that are palpably bullshit. Why we're not really "Larrikins", Why opportunities aren't really "equal". Why we're not really equal before the law. How most of us don't like the far right or the far left. What we actually have got, and how the US is showing us wha...

Politicians Don't Own Australian Values

Australian Value #1: "Politicians don't decide what Australian Values are" Sir Roger explains why, many moons ago, he wrote the First Law, and how the fact that John Hunt, the Coward , and “Slim” Beazley had engaged in a battle to hijack Australian Values caused Sir Roger to to take up arms against such anti-social piracy and made him a global celebrity . Of course the pollies are still at it, now the piracy is being forwarded under the regime of Ellan Fudge. ALSO: what Australia's most cherishe...

B'Bye!

The Planet’s Narrow Escape. He Goes Out! We earthlings have just survived the very closest shave. The incongruity between the willingness to believe absolutely any bullshit and science’s careful gathering and weighing of evidence is mind bending. Disaster stared us in the face. But then ...there was Paula Whitewman

Dear DIC

This is the most famous of Values Australia's blogposts ever. When the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship wrote to Sir Roger to complain in the most bureaucratically courteous and yet wounded tone about the Values Australia site - a letter variously described by others as “ bizarre ”, a “ hoax ” and (gloriously) “ frog-shit ” - Values Australia had to respond, to take advantage of this un-dreamt of opportunity..
