The rise and rise of the Right

Gina will get what she wants. She doesn't care who she alienates, just ask her children. And what she wants is to run Australia for her own benefit. Abbott is to be her Prime Minister and he will fall neatly into line because they recite off the same sheet. The opposition will be scattered to the far reaches of her Realm. Bolt will be elevated out of the blue to run a fearsome Fairfax, uncompromising in its ideological, messianic incantations of free market principals, where the weak, the halt and the lame are to be led away, put away, from the gaze of overseas investors.

Plimer will be her high priest, Pell an avid disciple and Cowin will count the cost, if any. And from the middle of 2013 Australia, will be a hairs breadth from being a right wing one party state. Only the Senate will stand in the way - our only barrier to the Mongols.

No checks, no balances and a future Prime Minister that believes the AFP and ASIO should be given even greater power. Bolt rails against the left, but there is no left, not in the union movement, academia or the ABC; with his tirades against the left Bolt looks slightly, no considerably unbalanced and a bully. The left in Australia is an endangered species. Its habit is scattered and its birth rate falling.

The right already has everything it wants, but its appetite is insatiable, and where do you go on this island girt by sea, when you are chased or threatened, stuck to face your fate, unless you can catch a plane or a boat.
