Anzac Biscuit is the bush telegraph of the broadband cable for cockatoos needing some thought provoking escapism from the authorities of the Australian government, corporate, media, legal, arts and education landscapes.

The term 'bush telegraph' originated in
Australia, probably influenced by
'grapevine telegraph'. That referred to the
informal network that passed information
about police movements to convicts who
were hiding in the bush. It was recorded in 1878 by an Australian author called Morris:


"The police are baffled by the number and activity of the bush telegraphs."

Talking in my online community - let's entitle it - 'Sometimes political headkickers need a good kick in the head'.

'Mr. Lucky' of the Lucky Country is gone. Yet in our online community there seems to be the forming in the quarters of the right a blend of political correctness. A blend of political correctness spouted from people of which a couple at the one time are trying to appear as the significant voice who will be the great person that will go down in the history of our online community as the soothsayer who pushed the wheel borrow of truth mid pronunciation of the repetitive proclamation "I am the one who will be known as telling you so...I am the one who will be known as telling you so...I will...” Give us people a break.

Bouncing out into the ring is the poster who in the days before the election borrowed the Liberal Party scare campaign on the dangers of a Rudd government to our economy. Does this poster know who Dr John Edwards is? Did he read Dr John Edwards appraisal of the themes in the Liberal Party scare campaign? Would he even consider reading Dr John Edwards book on our economy? Still he moves on to further ill-researched espousals on his soapbox, seemingly choosing not to consider and study the content of his previous declarations.

Then we have a collective of posters who lampoon the education revolution as an empty headed slogan. Those posters who rather than look at the policies of the government we now have and suggest ways in which these policies could be improved, choose instead to just take cheap shots at a policy which they seem to not even have researched.

And then there are those posters who wouldn't know the merits of broadband from the merits of wireless technology.

And then there are those posters who don't seem to know that the best purchase of a computer is one whose supposedly short life expectancy does not need the purchase of another hardware, but whose life expectancy can be extended by the updating of software.

Yet the most insulting, repulsive and offensive call I hear from the most caricatured clarion callers of the right, is that how dumb and stupid the average Australian was proved for voting in the government they did. Listen up quacks, I personally don't think that we are the smartest society, but neither do I think people are dumb or of sub par intelligence. For most of the election day afternoon, I stood beside our former 'beloved' Minister for Citizenship and Immigration and whatever you think of the man, he showed the knowledge that he must address all people with a warm welcome and the decency of putting time into chatting to people in a down to earth manner that showed he could relate to any person in his and my neck of the woods.

Why do I mention this? My fundamental principle of intelligence is that you must relate to people in manner that they can relate to you back, because if you cannot openly communicate with people, you could never enrich another person's life in anyway. Get this straight, people aren't dumb, the smallest given is that people know shit when it is thrown at them and sadly your side of politics threw shit on the Australian people in the most profound way.

Simply Mr. Lucky kept telling people that they had never been better off, after bringing in a piece of legislation that scared the general populous and left them wondering if their government was telling them they'd never had it so good, why would they enforce a law which threatened the money we work hard for to put in our pockets each week?

Did any of you stand and watch thousands of Australians walk into the polling booths on Saturday? I doubt any of you did, because the diversity of the people you experience show me on many levels you're bull.... summations about the people of our country is essentially a reflection on your own pomposity. So get ...... ! That's until you learn to not insult people because they did something you disagree with. The only redeeming feature of your ugly arguments is that you are mad, because people didn't do what you wanted with something that you care about - this nation Australia.

Like others here I will not sit in silence while you insult our country people, I will rip your heads off, to pull you into line because if you make this community a metaphoric boxing tent I will metaphorically knock you out, so when you come to you will function as contributors to important discussion rather than disillusioned rednecks.

In the most forceful way I tell you that NO ONE in this land has propriety over this land’s people. NO ONE!

That's the foundation of the greatest thing we have got going for us in Australia - democracy - and the people who actually belief and propagate it's benefits.

With Rudd and hopefully Turnbull as the leaders of our two major political parties, Australia, sadly for a lot of retrogrades, who will need to have their.... pulled into line, we as a nation will now exit our prolonged phase of being the lucky country. You can either get on board or get used to it.

Geez, just learn to orientate yourselves to a future when things don’t go your way.

See ya later!
