The Kennett Symbol

Tough on the outside, but very messy once you put the pressure on.

Depression is growing in our society , not only because things are broken and  need fixing ( nothing new) , but because the popular political correction methods do not work - mess.
You get depressed when things don't work . When what you imagine of yourself  and others proves to be faulty. Sure its right to see the problem as personal mindset but its corporate crap too that can have caught you here - its what i'm talking to here.


Many people have bought into a pup . They throw out the old and buy into the new , when the old may work better and using it costs our children nothing - infact we give them BOTH  a debt free future and a debt free attitude . Thinking outside the box is right but only if what's inside the box works and works better. Repairs, like reform is completely underrated esp by those who muddy the waters by their throwing mud at human solutions to just about anything ( see Churchill qualification for democracy)  . Maybe major  new growth industries in Australia could be repair reform ones (copyright 30th May 2012 EA)
Buying into new solutions is expensive and, unless it really works long term ,  only builds castles in the unsustainable and non renewable court of retail therapy -Shelf projects ( you heard it first on blogger).Some Liberals are pleased . Thinking liberals are not.

New shells do nothing . Only new attitude; " metanoia" -  brings relief  . After all,  our only disability / others only disability is our / their attitude. ( GK Chestertons  record breaking letter to the London Times ) 

Jeff Kennett,  in becoming a lead figure in Beyond Blue has learned something from being in office . He created enough of the problem to know something about it . If only others would follow his lesson learnt lead there, and learn something .
If only some of those like 3AW's Neil Mitchell and James Packer  could only see beyond  the simplicities he symbolizes .These dummies continue to confuse their desire for boundaries with their desire to remove them .
James Packer , in a move which symbolizes some of the worst aspects of modern liberalism , said yesterday he would like Jeff Kennett on the board of some of his casinos enterprises ECHO .   Xenophon is right - "curiuos" when depression is the main disease in gambling and the effect of chasing such simplicities 

What is it about Jeff the symbol that is so attractive to power brokers ? ( and where is the real Jeff Kennett in all this?)
Clearly its JK's "can do" attitude - just as this attitude was the one that got him elected as Premier of the State of Victoria in the 1900's . Jeff   does not let  the complexities of oikonomia get in the road of a way through . The tendency of the simple to find such stupid simplicities attractive are completely understandable : that doesn't make these sort of Liberals  fit for office - any thing but .

We all may regret the wasteful good will hunting nonsense of Labor with mere money , but the Modern Australian Liberal Party take the cake for wasteful good will driven non thinking  nonsense of the basis of liberalism . The Modern Australian Liberal Party takes the cake for not using their brains when making decisions - as if everything comes at a price or worse , everything good comes with more pressure. The Modern Australian Liberal Party takes the cake for dumbness and idolness.
I fully accept the need for toughness but not the shallow stuff symbolised by JK .  I fully accept the need for toughness but know it only works when it originates in toughness of the mind and spirit .
We trust that there are some people in all parties who still think and take advice instead of applying retail rhetoric  to every problem they haven't already yet solved.
