Don't give up on hope. The Turnbull government has problems because Turnbull is dithering. Is it the case that Turnbull has not done an audit of his own MP's citizenship? Or, is it the case Turnbull has, and is sitting on it? If Turnbull dithers long enough, it won't really matter. Another minister, Alex Hawke for Immigration is embroiled in the dual citizenship farce Australia is enduring because the activist High Court is so inept as to be corrupt. By prizing foreign legislation above Australia's we have a constitutional crisis where none really exists. Barnaby Joyce is correct in calling for change, but the wider truth is this entire issue is a result of activist judges misreading the constitution to have it interpreted as meaning something never intended by the writers.
Turnbull's dithering is contagious. And now critics of Liberal government are constructively suggesting changes to the Liberal administration which do not solve the problem. The only solution allowing healing within the party is the restoration of Tony Abbott. Instead, commentators have been saying that is not possible, but they think Julie Bishop should lead the party. And they blame treasurer Scott Morrison for not making the awful Turnbull exercise work. But nobody can think of anything wrong Morrison is responsible for, or anything right Bishop has done.
Greens are making hysterical claims regarding illegal boat people imported by the last ALP government. The claims are as outrageous as those in defence of Palestine. The facts are Australia is generous with processing all migrants, including the illegal ones. Turnbull did attempt an underhanded deal with Obama where no illegal migrants benefited. Trump saw through that. Illegal migrants have often paid people smugglers over $20k each, and been subjected to piracy and some have drowned. Then they can spend a long time being processed by authorities because they lie about their origins and have destroyed their personal documents. They are housed and fed and given much, but activists have rioted and damaged much. There is also a security issue. Terrorists have gotten through as refugees.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

How can we, like Jupurrurla, use our resourcefulness and generosity to share the abundance we discover, ensuring it strengthens our communities and honors our connection to our environment?
Below is an expanded and vivid retelling of Jupurrurla and the Forty Shadows, reimagining Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves as a Warlpiri Dreamtime story set in the Tanami Desert. This version enriches the sensory landscape, deepens Warlpiri cultural elements, and aligns with the structure of Ali Baba while incorporating echoes of The Story of the Three Bears (e.g., an intruder entering a forbidden space, consequences of greed, and a moral resolution). The narrative emphasizes Warlpiri values of kinship, respect for the land, and wisdom over greed, creating a story that resonates with both the original tale and the desert’s spiritual heartbeat.

English Folk Song: The Wanderer and the Three Goannas
Lyrics (Based on the Warlpiri Story):
(Verse 1)
In the Tanami’s glow, where the spinifex sways,
Jupurrurla roamed through the desert’s warm days.
Her curious heart found a camp in the shade,
Where three goannas’ coolamons a feast had arrayed.
(Chorus)
Oh, the wanderer bold, ‘neath the starlit sky’s gleam,
Met the three goannas in the Desert’s dream.
With a heart full of truth, she learned to amend,
Wove the land and its kin in a song without end.
(Verse 2)
Father’s tomatoes sharp, Mother’s ants far too sweet,
But Little Goanna’s wattle warmed her heart’s beat.
On their mats she tried rest—too rough, then too slick—
Till the small one’s weave held her dreams soft and quick.
(Chorus)
Oh, the wanderer bold, ‘neath the starlit sky’s gleam,
Met the three goannas in the Desert’s dream.

I'm a little disappointed with my video. I couldn't put in the images I curated. But I stand by it. I am contributing to the debate over America Party. I'm a MAGA supporter always preferred GOP, despise RINO. I likely will never vote AP, but I welcome their existance in US Democracy, noting Dem's have utterly failed.
If the Democrat party is a corrupt, and ultimately spent force, what replaces it? Should we wait for a head to grow back? Or, should we look back to the vision of Jefferson and Adams? What is your preference for the future? I read all comments. Please like and subscribe.
Below is a prog rock song in the style of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, characterized by grandiose lyrical imagery, complex narrative structure, and a blend of theatrical pomp with driving rhythms and intricate keyboard flourishes. The song, titled "Star-Spangled Visionaries," celebrates the America Party led by Elon Musk as an alternative to a corrupt Democratic establishment, draws parallels to the Jefferson-Adams ...
