The Dump is:
For posting comments that don’t get up at the Drum, and for having a pleasant, mirthful or enlightening off-topic discussion.
It’s not for personal abuse of other commenters.
Please do that somewhere else if you must.
Play nicely or piss off.
However, why doesn’t a poster add a link for us to read and comment on here, much quicker. Maybe we can do a bit more bagging here, not that I speak for the moderators, yet.
NB: Being tiresome and boring, racist, sexist or just plain creepy is not playing nicely.
———-
The Pig’s Arms exists because a dozen or so years ago our other favourite playpen – the ABC’s Unleashed blogsphere started to go off. Like a sack of prawn heads in the sun. Something had to be done.
Moderation was taking forever. Comments seemed to be rejected randomly – outrageous ones appeared and reasoned ones were pinged. When they released the Drum / Unleashed ….. things actually got worse !
So many pieces from professional writers appear with no obvious merit. And the moderation has become, to put it frankly, appalling.
As a former contributor and a commenter, I was deeply disappointed at the plummeting quality from our pre-eminent media empire. And I resented so many challenging or dare I say, witty or funny posts in which we’ve invested seconds of our precious time – getting the chop.
So here, for all our benefit – is an open slather blog. Copy and paste your best rejected comments here for posterity. Does not matter whether you’re posting on the Guardian, First Dog on the Moon or wherever else.
And sprinkle pointers to the Pig’s Arms amongst your comments. Let’s try to rescue some of the old faithful.
Cheers,
Emm.

When I worked in Local Government, one day I was 10 cents short on a coffee. The shop keeper told me not to worry about it. Public servants are ethically and professionally required to avoid situations that create or seem to create a sense of obligation. I might have had to sue her unpaid fees. Or she might have asked me to write them off.
So I left the coffee there and came back with the coin. And then drank it lukewarm.
That’s the standard I set myself. That’s why I stopped going to Labor election parties.
When I was at the Mary Easson election party I mentioned below, there was a chap there who had been mentioned in a Local Government corruption enquiry. Could have been ICAC but don’t quote me. Was a long time ago.
23 years later he’s before ICAC again in relation to Botany and Auburn councils. In my opinion he’s in deep trouble this time. Also in my opinion his appointments to Botany and Auburn both look political. That in my opinion contravenes the letter and spirit of the 1993 Local Government Act.
I could tell you some stuff about Labor ineptitude, corruption, waste and nepotism that would curl your hair but I don’t want to get Emm sued .Or me.
So given you and I hold similarly low opinion s of politicians and politics I’m struggling to work out why you dump buckets on me when I call Labor cheerleading on The Drum. We’re on the same side!

Sunday bloody, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, 3.07.16
The day after the election.
When the Greek General, Pyrrhus looked over the vast battlefield of Asculum in 279 BC, and saw 3,500 of his soldiers and over 6,000 Romans lie in a pile of bloody gore, he said, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined!”
It is an observation which all three Generals of Australian politics will be making when the results of these elections are known. They will remember -or will certainly be reminded of what has become known as a Pyrrhic victory.
All three: Turnbull, Shorten and Dinatale will be looking across the battlefield with a heavy heart, lamenting their stupid tactics and while they’ll be claiming victory to the populus, they’ll be thinking about their resignations as Generals.
There is now a new young General, with a new young army, who stood at the hills around the battlefield and waited until the battle between the two majors, the two old armies was over, before he sounded the attack.
That man is Xenophon, whose name, incidentally means, “he of the foreign voice,” effectively a “foreigner” and more effectively, in ancient Greek, “a barbarian.” In other words, “not one of us.”
He’s the “outsider” the “outlier,” the only true victor of the battle.
(So as not be too navigatory here, I’ll simply add that the word barbarian had no disparaging connotations as it does today but it does mean, that he was a foreigner and thus not a Greek, able to claim the cudos of being one of us.)
Even if he wins the battle, Turnbull could well be turfed out as a General because he has lost too many seats, and gained nothing in the process since the mix of the Senate will most probably be the same in its effectiveness to block his legislation.
He had made many mistakes, including the calling of an early election, the knifing of Abbott (this, his detractors will hammer relentlessly him with) and because his rhetoric was hollow, far too loud and merely a counterfeit coin which the populus saw that.
No one has believed that the Libs won’t privatise health care to its maximum. They will do so in every conceivable, indirect way. Health, like Education and every other service that a taxpayer is entitled to will become privatised, unaffordable and lethally dismantled.
Turnbull might well win the election but he has certainly lost the victor’s prize, that of a mandate.
Shorten will be seen as the mistake that was glaring at every Labor member and supporter, at every member of its Parliamentary team.
He slept right through the battle, while almost all of his barricades were breeched and woke up just in time to protect its last one by which time, most of his soldiers lie in the Pyrrhic pile of gore.
He too, should have been turfed out a long time ago, or, even more wisely, never given the pit helmet he was wearing during his slumber and during his charade-parade through the shopping centres.
His rhetoric reached few and convinced even fewer.
Dinatale’s appearance on the throne of the Greens frightened his own troops. Certainly frightened me as he upturned one leftish policy after another and moved the party to the Right where the battle raged.
He, too, should be thrown out and replaced by a true believer.
All three Generals failed the Populus and all three now have more in common with the sizzled sausages, ravaged with great relish by the voters, than with anything remotely related to parliament.
And we are left with a nightmare. The nightmare to beat all nightmares: Turnbull will say to his party, “Righto, then, fuck you. Bring back Abbott, if you want, I’m outa here.” And Abbott is brought back, again only to be replaced the last minute before the next election, after he had ravaged the country and before some other silver forked tongue appears.
Now that’s a nightmare!

Abbott’s Crypto-Fascist faction is already getting excited. I think it should take a deep breath.
Abbott suffered a swing against in his own electorate.
Against a well known Labor mayor, my local member Craig Laundy bucked the national trend and achieved a swing to LNP.
Laundy led several backbench revolts against the Abbott-Fascist and Libertarian factions including racial vilification and rolling Abbott. More recently he contradicted Dutton on his unemployable, job-stealing, refugee doublethink.
My gut feeling is that Laundy is reading the mood of the people better than Abbott.
Just by the by I stumbled onto the local Labor election party when I went to watch the footy at the club last night. It was a small and low-key affair.
I was at Mary Easson’s election party in 1993 ( at Saint Nectarios church hall in Burwood – there’s my Greek theme) and it was a massive gala. Bob Gould dropped by.
