On the 24th November 2007 it was boldly announced that Australia had experienced a political transformation. The government had changed and the media were in raptures over the implications. The media's myopia and ignorance make them unworthy protectors of the public good and so an ordinary man stepped from the shadows to protect, analyse and inform...He is The Swagman.

Emptying my swag (LINK)

May 8th 2008 14:36
I’ve been swag dragging the last few days watching Troy Buswell. You know some crazy things happen in WA, cops allegedly film sex and Brian Burke always lurks. Bussa’s situation comes about because he is man of his times and his place.

Chair sniffing is as close as this swaggy can get sometimes so I appreciate desperation. A rover’s free life provides strange temptations but there are things a man can do in the bush, alone with a rock or tree which he can’t do in the office. Simple rules: chair, office, nose bad while chair, home, nose is fine.


Everyone knows simple bar jokes can often go awry. You get a group of blokes standing around, ties askew, schooners flowing and they bond like teenagers. I can hear them chanting “Carn Bussa…Do it Bussa”. Bussa’s repertoire includes bra “sch-napping” and he was an ear-flicker. For sure. Performing these “classics” after meetings will always go awry.

So Bussa is on the low-end of the political scale. He is indiscreet and a Simpson’s joke. I suspect he’s a fart-lighter. The new standard for leadership of a political party? Is the political standard that low? What is the political standard that we are transforming from? Billy Hughes, Peter Costello, who are the heavy-hitters of Australian political history? Take a journey with me through history and learn something about Australia and maybe…yourself.

How he survived the vote I've got no idea. He will never be elected premier.
