This disease has spread throughout the world. Last week Australia awoke to a huge jolt. Rugby League, the workingman’s adaptation of Rugby Union, is the major sport of two states in Australia; Queensland and New South Wales. In NSW the clubs were local and it was the dream of every schoolboy as a senior to wear the jersey of his neighborhood Rugby League club. The clubs were made wealthy because of the “pokies” (poker machines). It enabled them to offer subsidized restaurant quality food and entertainment. Above all, the semi-professional players in the top team treated the facilities in the same way as the supporters. It was just as big a focal point for social activity for them as it was for club members. Twenty years ago no sport in Australia enjoyed the club spirit like the Brisbane and Sydney “Leagues Clubs” as they were known.

Ten years or so ago everything changed. That nasty little ex-Australian dried prune-faced, wife dumping octogenarian, Rupert Murdoch saw an opportunity for his Satellite network to literally take over the governing body of the Australian Rugby League. The idea was to turn it a national sport in all seven states of Australia and N.Z. and make it into a global viewing sport. Newscorp has monopoly over the Asian, European, American and South Pacific Satellite networks.

Murdoch splashed out further $millions establishing the Melbourne Storm rugby league team. Two of the last three years it has won the Grand Final. Why? Murdoch, not satisfied with just the television rights also wanted to own the best team. How did he achieve that? By paying top players under the counter, thus breaking the rules of team salary caps he helped establish. All hell broke loose when an enemy in the camp leaked the news of the cheating, lying and virtual stealing going inside Murdoch’s team. Believe it or not, as punishment the governing body dethroned the Storm, took away the prize money they ever earned, and this year they will play for no points. If I were the Chairman I would have not only disbanded the club, but also got rid of everything that smelled of Murdoch including his stinking television rights.

Doesn’t Murdoch’s behavior smack of Wall Street? A set of rules for himself; and another for the little people, all those long established Sydney and Brisbane clubs. The sad thing is since Newscorp’s involvement and its big money, the patronage of the Leagues Clubs’ facilities has been in rapid decline and so has the attendance at the grounds. Mind you gaming is up! All over the world you can now bet on who will win and who will lose. Rugby League has indeed become big business and a pretty corrupt one at that. Rugby League is now no different from the NFL: a day doesn’t go by where a spoiled rotten thug of a footballer appears before court for rape, assault and battery or drunkenness. Bookmakers and Internet gambling houses are making fortunes thus making the only losers in it all, the working class families of New South Wales and Queensland who used to passionately follow their footy teams and regularly patronize their clubs’ facilities. Isn’t sad when sport becomes a big business?

“Dear Mr Minister,

I am in the process of renewing my passport and still cannot believe this.

How is it that K-Mart has my address and telephone number and even knows I bought a television set and golf clubs from them back in 1997 and yet the Federal government is still asking me where I was born and on what date. For Christ’s sake do you blokes do this by hand? My birthdate you have in my Medicare information and it is on all the income tax forms I’ve filed for the past forty years. It is on my driver’s license, on the last eight passports I’ve ever had, on all those stupid Customs declaration forms I’ve had to fill out before being allowed off the planes over the last thirty years and all those insufferable census forms that I have filled out every five years since 1966.

Also….. would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother’s name is Audrey, my old man’s name is Jack and I’ll be absolutely f—king astounded if that ever will change between now and when I bloody well drop dead!!! I apologize Mr Minister, but I’m really pissed off this morning. Between you an’ me I’ve had a gutful of all this bullshit. You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my f—king address!!.What the hell is going on with your mob? Have you a gang of mindless Neanderthal arseholes workin’ there? And another thing, look at my damned picture. Do I look like bin Laden? I can’t even grow a beard for Gawd’s sakes. I just want to go to New Zealand and see my new granddaughter. Yes my son interbred with a Kiwi girl. And would someone please tell me why I would give a shit whether I plan visiting a farm in the next sixteen days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a sheep or a horse, believe you me, I’d sure as hell not tell anyone!

Well I have to go now ‘cause I have to the other end of the city. And get another f—king copy of my birth certificate and part with another eighty bucks for the privilege of accessing MY OWN INFORMATION. Would it be so uncomplicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist with the issuance of a new passport on the same day? Noooooo……that’d be too f—king easy and makes far too much sense. You’d much prefer to have us running around all over the place like chickens with our f—king heads cut off and then having to find some high society wanker to confirm that it is really me in the Goddam photo. You know the photo….the one where we are not allowed to smile….you f—king morons.

Signed

An Irate Australian Citizen.

P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone in high society to confirm that it’s me. Well my family has been this country since before 1850. In 1856, one of my forefathers took up arms with Peter Lalor. You do remember the Eureka Stockade!!!. I have also served in both the CMF and regular army something over thirty years (I went to Vietnam in 1967) and still have high security clearances. I’m also a personal friend of the president of the RSL and Lt General Peter Cosgrove sends me a Christmas card each year. However, your rules require that I have to get someone “important” to verify who I am; you know…someone like my doctor; WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PAKISTAN AND WHO HAS A BEARD…a country where they either assassinate the prime minister or hang their ex-prime ministers and are suspended from the British Commonwealth for not having the right sort of government. You are all f—king idiots.

Unfortunately Australia who started letting their guard down under the socialist Whitlam government of the seventies realized in the New Millennium they were housing illegal Muslim zealots who were promoting hatred of Australia and demands for the acceptance of Sharia Law ahead of the laws of the nation. Five years ago a Mullah, an illegal resident the courts were having trouble booting out and who could not speak one word of English stood up in the mosque and said Australian women deserved to get raped because they were nothing but pieces of meat! Amid huge outcry he stood firm and even added fuel to the fire. For weeks his statements and responses remained headline news, until one or two of his followers said his words were misinterpreted.

The then Australian prime minister John Howard made it clear from Parliament House, that Australia has rules for new immigrants; among them was to understand the laws of Australia. accept and embrace the life and culture of Australian society, work for a living and speak English. If they couldn’t do that, citizen or not, they then were regarded as un-Australian and as such it would be better for them to return to where they originated from. Aussies jumped for joy that at long last a leader had the courage to stand up for what is right and just.

Since then, the media have kept Australians abreast of the cost of housing illegals and other immigrants who decide on the easy route to survive and contribute nothing to Australian society. Here is one of the latest exposes; Down under when you reach the age of sixty-five you become a pensioner and receive an income from the government similar to our social security. Like Europe, third world Muslims are at the bottom of the social order in poverty and unemployment. The same is applicable for Australia. This chart reflects the average costs to the government of illegal immigrants and refugees;

BENEFIT AUSTRALIAN AGED PENSIONER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN AUSTRALIA

Weekly Allowance $253.00 $472.50

Weekly Spouse Allowance $56.00 $472.50

Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance $0.00 $145.00

TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT $16,068.00 $56,680.00

Even the current government is starting to take action by listening to the sentiments of all hard working patriotic Australians. A couple who have contributed a lifetime to Australia paying taxes and being productive earns nearly 25% less than someone who arrives illegally on their shores. The injustice is about to be righted. In America the ACLU and bleeding heart liberals and their brethren in Europe see no wrong in what is going on and the issue will never be addressed.
