CANBERRA, ACT. — Seldom few, if any, mainstream media outlets, or their journalists addressed, nor reported on the large elephant in the room. The fact that Pauline Hanson, who last year addressed a Nazi rally alongside neo Nazi Thomas Sewell.
vowels are everything in accents
the accent of a kiwi (especially someone from the south island) features vowel sounds i cannot imitate at all
when watching tv i identify the canadian actors by their vowel sounds; for example,
“about” is invariably pronounced “aboat”
even my worst typos are comprised of bizarre vowel sounds
i remember reading a novel 500 years ago — i think it was one of edna o’brien’s — and though i recall none of the plot points, there was a running gag of telephone calls with someone who strangled her vowels. after several calls, the main character finally snapped and said “i hope your vowels move” before hanging up.
Pauline hanson always sounded to me like she is choking on her bile, or as if she has “the morbid sore throat”, but i will accept “saying her vowels backwards” as a good description. At least it would match the direction of her brain.
“ The only woman in Australia who says her vowels backwards”

MELBOURNE, VIC. — Rita Panahi firstly claims in her op-ed that "a new poll revealed the majority of Australians believe One Nation is ready to govern." This poll was removed by 6 News, but remains on Sky and Murdoch print newspapers are using the inaccurate poll as 'the gospel truth'. It isn't.
Hanson lays down law in feisty press club address

still re-watching. There are actually some powerful moments in this series.
i guess season 1 had to be suffocating, to show what it is like to have no freedom or information or hope at all, but from season 2 the characters are liberated — for viewers at least — and showrunners have seized the opportunity to explore a range or historical and contemporary issues in a meaningful way.
i don’t know the book, so can’t comment on whether it was “too white” or not, but that is not the case from season 2 onwards. the approach is — for want of a better world — intersectional.
Rita was a “Martha” — not a breeder, but a domestic drudge/ housekeeper. She has escaped to canada.
Fred & Serena are now charged with crimes against humanity, and rita goes to visit serena . Serena is pregnant, and sez “i feel so much better knowing you are here to help me with this child”
later, Rita explains to a messenger she was property, owned by fred and serena… “registered and everything, like my nissan altima”. Her relatives are still lost somewhere in Gilead, and she is alone. Her son is dead.
this time she visits Fred, who sez “nice to see a friendly face”
Rita: “we aren’t friends”
…
she hands him a copy of an ultrasound, so he will know serena is pregnant” and he sez
“I was never cruel to you”…
i’m reminded of MAGA determination to restore US textbooks explaining enslaved people were treated kindly…
and australia’s denial that there is anything wrong with (as just one example) “allowing” pacific islanders to come and work here for shit pay in shit conditions is somehow the equivalent of “i was never cruel to you”
—-
while i’m here, rabbiting on about this, a soecial mention for an earlier episode where a commander’s wife wants serena to find a nice place to live… saying that there are still some nice places available… they just haven’t;t been cleaned up yet.
Then they walk thru this very nice place that has been quickly vacated … breakfast still on the table, shoes at the door, kid’s names on walls etc — a very human reminder of lives destroyed.
Internment, generally, is like this. during world war II, one of my aunty’s school friends and her family disappeared overnight from the country town where they lived. AND SOMEONE ELSE WAS RUNNING THE GREEN GROCER’S STORE
what costs more, i wonder? the feeling of security in a place, or having to start from scratch again?
what’s it like to spend your best years in a different country from your children, work for just a tiny bit more than your keep, and find yourself witha repayment plan cos you needed medical treatment? is this “free market” arrangement really much better than being registered like a nissan altima?
and is australia better off cos for food growing businesses to flourish, we can;t have a minimum wage?
are we really a judeo-christian country with a mono culture, that’s under threat?
