Government funding for offensive so-called art
The Melbourne Fringe Festival receives a lot of government money. Taxpayers' money from the luvvies at Arts Victoria and the Victorian Government. The "Key Message Partner" for the festival is the bit of the government that's involved with this marketing line - "protect your glory box, use a condom and lube". Got the idea?
One of the shows in their government funded get-together is "Beaconsfield; A Musical in A Flat Minor". Presumably the "flat miner" they're talking about is Larry Knight, who left behind a widow Jacquie and a family when he was killed in the Beaconsfield mine collapse.
Dan Illic is the name of the sick mongrel who created this disgrace - the blurb on his show's website describes the show as "the feel good piss-take of the year."
Dan Illic said he treated Mr Knight's death respectfully. "The only death we haven't treated respectfully is Richard Carleton's,'' he tells us. The veteran 60 Minutes reporter died of a heart attack outside the mine while covering the cave-in. The show includes a song dubbed Carleton Cardiac. His family must be thrilled and overwhelmed with the respect.
We need to get rid of the demented thinking that allows us - taxpayers - to fund this rubbish. The people who sit on arts boards, drink champagne at openings of shows and galleries, talk in weird uppity accents and think they know more than everyone else. The same people who think it's OK to scour schools looking for primary school children to pose as nude models for a photographer. And they call it art. This crap is not funny. Public money is being used to fund disgraceful, offensive rubbish.
We need to send a message to the government. Don't fund it. Festivals are wonderful - but not when they promote this sort of nonsense.

Wrong again, Wobblyone...
Therese Rein and Kevin Rudd have been married for 28 years (married in 1981).
Never let the truth get in the way, eh?
By the way, Mr Rudd has already been in office longer than 13 previous Prime Ministers - sorry to spoil your fantasy!bigfella Monday 18 January, 2010 - 11:18 PM -
Hey Bruce.... She's not even his wife. She's called something else.
They're often referred to these days as "partners".
That's so's they can get pseudo acceptance for and now financial benefits for any mix-up you like of Gods creation. It's all disgusting and totally abhorrent to any Christian raised being, but when they have the Judges, (Oh Boy, and don't they come in a mixed bag of fruit)and the legislators, making laws to over-ride Gods Law.. what the hell hope do we have Bruce.
Just close your eyes and hope he's the shortest serving PM EVER.
Have a lovely day.

C.I.R. Michael....
CITIZEN INITIATED REFERENDUM
Pressure needs to be mounted on Government.. (although it's highly unlikely that KRUDDY'S CREW OF WANKERS is likely to agree to anything so enlightened)
....to require that where a certain number of the citizens of the country (say 200,000) are prepared to petition and sign for a compulsory referendum on a particular matter; the Government has no option but to conduct that referendum.
This could be done at the next scheduled election.Wouldn't that be nice? Just to think that these bloody idiots bleeding our taxes into their own pockets may actually be held accountable for something?

Michael, Pollies and Public Servants are employed by us and must follow our instructions or directives. What right do the have to enforce their own or party lines decissions.('arrogant') They better watch out at the next election. This goes especially for the current Government in Qld. No Holds barred by them!

Michael - I have a great lead for you to follow up, Why is it that Kevin Rudd feels it necessary to cart his wife with him on every overseas trip he has. At a time whe we should be watching every penny spent should justice not be seen to be done. I am not aware of many people in business that are afforded the luxury of having the wife travel with them at company expense
