Australia's "First Bludger" at it AGAIN.

Tim Mathieson pressured Richmond to snub Tony Abbott

AN email obtained exclusively by The Weekend Australian reveals Julia Gillard's partner, Tim Mathieson, sought to involve her office in pressuring a major sporting club to freeze out Tony Abbott.

After attending an AFL clash at the MCG as a guest of the Richmond Football Club, Mr Mathieson emailed its chief executive, Brendon Gale, copying in the Prime Minister's office, to complain about the Opposition Leader's access to the team's inner sanctum and his prominent seating at a pre-game function.

Mr Mathieson demanded that Mr Gale raise the matter with the Prime Minister's chief of staff, Ben Hubbard.

His fiery outburst occurred on a Sunday evening after the Dreamtime AFL match between Essendon and Richmond on May 19 last year. The Dreamtime game is one of the highlights of the AFL calendar for its social and cultural significance in promoting reconciliation.

"Mate u need to speak with Ben Hubbard on why abboott was taken down to the rooms ... " Mr Mathieson fumed. " ... it's just not on Who authorised it < it was a shocker it was a Don's function and he should not have gone down there

That same weekend Ms Gillard was travelling to Chicago for top-level security talks with Barack Obama and other NATO leaders to plan the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

Ms Gillard's office declined to respond to questions about Mr Mathieson's complaint.

Mr Mathieson is a fanatical supporter of the Richmond "Tigers" while the PM barracks for the Western Bulldogs. They are often seen at games together in their respective club colours.

Richmond has accommodated Mr Mathieson's requests for tickets, hospitality and memorabilia since his move into The Lodge.

At the Dreamtime game in Melbourne, the first bloke invited ABC Insiders host Barrie Cassidy to join him on the Richmond table. Both men visited the Richmond room before the contest, where they crossed paths with Mr Abbott, who was a guest of Essendon's chairman David Evans.

Essendon was hosting the pre-game function for the Dreamtime game and in charge of protocol. The Opposition Leader was accompanied to the event by two of his three daughters and his chief of staff, Peta Credlin.

The rooms for rival teams at the MCG are not far apart and after visiting Essendon players, Mr Abbott was escorted across to the Richmond bunker.

Clubs embrace politicians from all sides of politics and dignitaries who are invited to pre-game functions usually get taken to visit players in the room before the match.

The Weekend Australian understands that Mr Gale responded politely to Mr Mathieson's email protest, explaining that Richmond was staunchly bipartisan and happy to accord Mr Abbott the very same privileges that the Prime Minister's partner enjoyed on a regular basis. He signed off by confirming Mr Mathieson's attendance at an upcoming pre-game cocktail, party in Sydney.

Mr Gale would not comment on the email exchange. "He will not discuss private communications," his spokesman said.

Government sources say Mr Mathieson has a habit of firing off emails and texts to Ms Gillard's personal staff when he senses a perceived injustice. His email to Mr Gale was copied to a senior public servant working in Ms Gillard's office at the time.

Labor's Rooty Hill Jihad : "Good Luck BITCHES you will be lucky to walk out."

What passes for the federal government of Australia and its "Dear Leader" Madame JuLIAR Gillard, are about to blitz for one week, what they claim is their electoral heartland in Sydney's western suburbs.

Polls show the Labor Green Loon "Independent" "Co Party" is on a hiding to nothing come the federal election, September 14 2013, PM Madame Gillard called some 3 weeks ago, this attempt to rub shoulders with and ingratiate herself and her party made up of bludgers, former Union officials and stand over  men /"persons",parasites,school teachers,spives, and Green Loons.

The Labor Green Loon alliance showed its Marxist World Government hand too soon, and their plans for the Australian People have been rejected almost unanimously by what Labor patronisingly refers to as "The real Australians" "Labor's True Believers" oh and that most ironic and mocking of descriptors "Working Families" but what they wont say publicly is what they really think of / call the remaining 30% of Australians who tell pollsters they are still going to vote on September 14 2013 for the Union GetUp financed Labor, Green Loon, Independent minority "Co Party" Australian Government, is that they HATE and despise them and see them, as do all socialist governments world wide, as "useful idiots" who's only purpose is to be manipulated,deceived and lied to in any and all manner possible,so as to ensure the re election of "The Party" at any cost.

"The Party" together with the unbridled support of "Their ABC and SBS" and  Faifax Media, this cabal of Union Bludgers,Parasites and Marxists will tell Australians just how good and proper it is to not be able to turn on heating and cooling in winter and summer since Madame Gillard imposed the Tax on everything, the same tax Madame Gillard said she would not impose upon the Australian people if she was elected into government in 2010. The Labor Green Loon "Independent" "Co Party" LIED.

Now these useless unemployable BUMS and bludgers plan to waltz into Rooty Hill  and rub shoulders with those they despise most and pretend to have the cure for the economic and social disease they have created and spread since 2007 with the election of Lu Kewen aka. Kevin "07" Rudd. seen below campaigning in CHINA of all places during the 2007 federal election campaign, WHY CHINA ? He was the Australian Labor Party's leader contesting the 2007 Federal Australian Government Election not a local Chinese Communist Party dolt trying to secure a bigger house by winning some exaulted Communist Party position, or was he waving the flag of the ALP for the 200 plus Chinese Communist Party members imported into Australia to door knock garner support and work for the Australian Labor Party in Chinese populated electorates in Australia during the 2007 Federal Election?

Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 Rudd Campaigning in CHINA in2007 .......WHY?

Good Luck, Socialist BITCHES you will be lucky if you can walk out.

EXCLUSIVE: THE MAN FROM WESTERN SYDNEY    
The Brilliant Joe Hildebrand

Daily Telegraph
Friday, March 01, 2013 

There was movement at the station for the word had passed around 
That the polls from Sydney’s west had got away. 
They had flatlined for a while but now they’d started heading down 
And were sitting somewhere south of Batemans Bay. 
All the senior Labor strategists from Adelaide and Vic 
Wondered what had made west Sydney go berserk. 
The last time that it happened they just gave K.Rudd the flick 
But even that trick didn’t seem to work. 

Mark Arbib had made his pile when Packer offered coin 
To spruik his gambling interests on the Yarra. 
He’d finally had enough of kicking Labor in the groin 
And having to go further west than Parra. 

So Shorten of the Overflow came up to lend a hand 
No better hardman ever held the reins. 
His political ability was known throughout the land 
For turning Liberal losses into gains.

And one was there, a weedy bloke just draped over a stool 
Not saying much and sitting very still. 
The men in suits ignored him and presumed he was a fool 
As they gathered round the bar at Rooty Hill.

You could hear the pokies ringing like alarm bells in the lounge 
While outside the crawling traffic groaned in pain. 
In fact the room was filled with almost every urban sound 
Bar the rumble of an air-conditioned train.

But still the skinny fella on the barstool didn’t speak, 
Just sat there with a schooner in his hand, 
While the strategists around him plotted out their busy week 
Of trying to embrace the common man.

They pulled their hair and ground their teeth and wondered what to do 
And tore internal polling graphs apart. 
The weedy bloke, amid all this, had ducked off to the loo 
And that’s when one suit now spoke from the heart:

“He hails from western Sydney, that’s the place we’ve got to win. 
“Perhaps we should just ask him what he thinks?” 
The group fell quickly silent as they let the thought sink in, 
Then cheered and bought another round of drinks.

When the skinny guy was finished with his eventide ablutions 
He mistakenly had thought he was relieved 
But his peace was quickly shattered as they begged him for solutions 
To the giant pile of waste they had achieved.

They asked him this, they asked him that, and finally he paused 
And cleared his throat with one of those small coughs. 
“To be honest, if you ask me, with the trouble that you’ve caused, 
“My advice would be to simply bugger off.”

Exert from The Man From Snowy River ,The Movie.

The Man From Snowy River

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses -- he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.

There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup,
The old man with his hair as white as snow;
But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up --
He would go wherever horse and man could go.
And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand,
No better horseman ever held the reins;
For never horse could throw him while the saddle-girths would stand,
He learnt to ride while droving on the plains.

And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast,
He was something like a racehorse undersized,
With a touch of Timor pony -- three parts thoroughbred at least --
And such as are by mountain horsemen prized.
He was hard and tough and wiry -- just the sort that won't say die --
There was courage in his quick impatient tread;
And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye,
And the proud and lofty carriage of his head.

But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay,
And the old man said, `That horse will never do
For a long and tiring gallop -- lad, you'd better stop away,
Those hills are far too rough for such as you.'
So he waited sad and wistful -- only Clancy stood his friend --
`I think we ought to let him come,' he said;
`I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end,
For both his horse and he are mountain bred.

`He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side,
Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough,
Where a horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride,
The man that holds his own is good enough.
And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home,
Where the river runs those giant hills between;
I have seen full many horsemen since I first commenced to roam,
But nowhere yet such horsemen have I seen.'

So he went -- they found the horses by the big mimosa clump --
They raced away towards the mountain's brow,
And the old man gave his orders, `Boys, go at them from the jump,
No use to try for fancy riding now.
And, Clancy, you must wheel them, try and wheel them to the right.
Ride boldly, lad, and never fear the spills,
For never yet was rider that could keep the mob in sight,
If once they gain the shelter of those hills.'

So Clancy rode to wheel them -- he was racing on the wing
Where the best and boldest riders take their place,
And he raced his stock-horse past them, and he made the ranges ring
With the stockwhip, as he met them face to face.
Then they halted for a moment, while he swung the dreaded lash,
But they saw their well-loved mountain full in view,
And they charged beneath the stockwhip with a sharp and sudden dash,
And off into the mountain scrub they flew.

Then fast the horsemen followed, where the gorges deep and black
Resounded to the thunder of their tread,
And the stockwhips woke the echoes, and they fiercely answered back
From cliffs and crags that beetled overhead.
And upward, ever upward, the wild horses held their way,
Where mountain ash and kurrajong grew wide;
And the old man muttered fiercely, `We may bid the mob good day,
NO man can hold them down the other side.'

When they reached the mountain's summit, even Clancy took a pull,
It well might make the boldest hold their breath,
The wild hop scrub grew thickly, and the hidden ground was full
Of wombat holes, and any slip was death.
But the man from Snowy River let the pony have his head,
And he swung his stockwhip round and gave a cheer,
And he raced him down the mountain like a torrent down its bed,
While the others stood and watched in very fear.

He sent the flint stones flying, but the pony kept his feet,
He cleared the fallen timber in his stride,
And the man from Snowy River never shifted in his seat --
It was grand to see that mountain horseman ride.
Through the stringy barks and saplings, on the rough and broken ground,
Down the hillside at a racing pace he went;
And he never drew the bridle till he landed safe and sound,
At the bottom of that terrible descent.

He was right among the horses as they climbed the further hill,
And the watchers on the mountain standing mute,
Saw him ply the stockwhip fiercely, he was right among them still,
As he raced across the clearing in pursuit.
Then they lost him for a moment, where two mountain gullies met
In the ranges, but a final glimpse reveals
On a dim and distant hillside the wild horses racing yet,
With the man from Snowy River at their heels.

And he ran them single-handed till their sides were white with foam.
He followed like a bloodhound on their track,
Till they halted cowed and beaten, then he turned their heads for home,
And alone and unassisted brought them back.
But his hardy mountain pony he could scarcely raise a trot,
He was blood from hip to shoulder from the spur;
But his pluck was still undaunted, and his courage fiery hot,
For never yet was mountain horse a cur.

And down by Kosciusko, where the pine-clad ridges raise
Their torn and rugged battlements on high,
Where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze
At midnight in the cold and frosty sky,
And where around the Overflow the reedbeds sweep and sway
To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide,
The man from Snowy River is a household word to-day,
And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

Warning America from American Thinker :Australia's Green Ideological Disaster

Australia's Green Ideological Disaster

By Sam Fielding
American Thinker
July 19, 2012

Australia is providing a case study in the self-destructive politics of green ideology, when believers of the religion of global warming gain political leverage.

Between 1996 and 2007, John Howard became Australia's second-longest-serving prime minister, with his center-right administration being regarded as the epitome of responsible economic management, overseeing the "good years for Australia."  In 2007, Kevin Rudd's left-wing Labor Party gained office, and by 2009, a six-year run of budget surpluses gave way to the largest deficits in modern politics.

A slew of ideologically charged policies followed, including a nationally subsidised home insulation scheme which was unregulated, resulting in millions of wasted funds and even a death due to unqualified installation, and a public education "revolution" to renovate school buildings where the government happily paid exorbitant over-inflated tenders for unnecessary and, in some cases, unwanted refurbishments, blowing over $1 billion.  This "revolution" was overseen by Rudd's deputy, Julia Gillard.

With plummeting polls leading into the 2010 election, having been bestowed with the mantle of the worst prime minister in Australia's history, Rudd's leadership was successfully challenged by Gillard.  However, Gillard was no shoe-in for prime m,inister, and to counter an effective campaign by the conservatives who warned that another Labor government would mean an unpopular carbon emissions tax, Gillard declared that "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead."

The election was even tighter than predicted and resulted in the first hung parliament since 1940.  To secure power, Gillard chose to cut a deal with three independents and a lone Greens member of parliament.  Despite her declaration to the contrary, Gillard was now over a (green) barrel and was forced to renege on her commitment not to introduce a carbon tax in order to honor her agreement with the Greens, whose agenda not surprisingly included a carbon tax.
It's taken Gillard two years to implement the controversial tax, during which time she has been irreverently referred to as "Ju-liar."  Thoughts of staying in power have no doubt helped her withstand such criticism, along with the support of a sympathetic Obama. 

During his visit here in November last year, he expressed his support for the tax, saying, "I think that's good for the world ... I actually think, over the long term, it's good for our economies, as well, because it's my strong belief that industries, utilities, individual consumers -- we're all going to have to adapt how we use energy and how we think about carbon."

The tax came into effect at the start of the 2013 financial year, yet after only a few weeks, the vociferous reaction from the Australian public can't be ignored.  They are smarting not only from a new controversial tax, but also from a prime minister who expressly said she would not implement it.  The foundation of the Labor Party, working-class families, are feverishly adjusting their weekly grocery budgets to account for a policy that many would have never thought possible.  Long-term voters of the left are shell-shocked, feeling cheated and abandoned.

Far from serving the working class, a carbon tax is the Trojan Horse of what many view as eco-terrorist environmentalism designed at saving trees -- or worse, generating a warm fuzzy feeling inside -- rather than jobs and a sustainable future.

One would hope that deliberate untruths would be uncommon in Western politics, but outright lying should never be tolerated.  There has been much philosophical deliberation about why people lie, but ultimately in politics the issue is whether the electorate is prepared to tolerate such conduct.  The polls here suggest a distinct lack of mercy.  In the past weeks, reports indicate that the Labor-Greens coalition is under immense pressure, with Labor Party members labeling the Greens as "extremists" and the Greens, ironically honestly, describing Labor as lacking values and standing for nothing.

The relevance of Australia's experience for the U.S. is that it highlights the degree of ideological blindness the left can be prone to.  In Australia's 150-seat House of Representatives (the equivalent of Congress), the Greens secured one seat.  Notwithstanding the vagaries of the Australian electoral system, that equates to roughly 0.6% of the vote.  Simplistically put, by making a deal with the Greens, the incumbent administration has implemented a policy that less than 1% of the electorate voted for.

The Appalling, Union / GetUp funded, Labor  / Green Loon, "Independent" Minority Socialist  "Co Party " Australian Government

The concern to a modern liberal democracy like Australia is not that minority political parties such as the Greens exist, but that they are offered a place at the table without the consent of the public at large.  Obama, as far as I can tell from here, was forced to shelve his plans for a carbon tax because even the Democrats could see the negative economic consequences.  Yet Gillard has chosen to somehow live in denial of its affects on the long-term health of the Australian economy, which is beyond me -- but then there are so many truths extreme liberals fail to acknowledge that it's not entirely surprising.
Bush had his critics, but at least one knew where he stood.  John Howard certainly held his ground on an issue, no matter the reaction of the chattering masses.  The danger of the left's liberalism is that it is so focused on popularity that its policies are often extremely short-sighted.  Gillard must be struggling to reconcile her short-term desire for power with her integrity.
Reports suggest that Obama is doing his best to "bankrupt" the coal power industry.  What should be of concern to U.S. voters is that Obama's energy policy could well be the thin edge of the wedge of increasingly-left-of-center ideology crystalizing into policy.  I trust that the events Down Under serve as a timely reminder of what the left is prepared to deny in order to maintain a false ideology.
