As you all know I’ve been following the climate change and emissions trading scheme debate very closely. Earlier this year I travelled to the USA to consult widely with the Heartland Institute and they gave me a nifty graph to show to all my friends at Parliament. Nick Xzennophone asked if I made it myself in crayon but he shut his mouth quick smart after I showed him the quality of the laminate and the superb laser printing.
I like to make sure that I look at both sides of the story, and the ETS debate is no different. I’ve looked at the government’s side (anthropomorphic climate change is definitely real and we need an EMS right now) and the opposition’s side (anthrophomorpic climate change is possibly real and we might need an LMS sometime in the short or medium term), but Family First’s side of the story is quite different again: anhtro antro antrhop man-made climate change is a myth and the PMS is completely unnecessary and will destroy man’s way of life.
But you wouldn’t believe the trouble I’ve had in getting my view heard! Penny Wong and Ian Macfarlane meet regularly to thrash out a version of the government Bill that the coalition might support, but the way they’ve dismissed Family First’s role in these crucial negotiations is a disgrace to Australian democracy. Imagine a democratically-elected Senator being manhandled and ejected from meetings inside Parliament House! It’s not like they didn’t know I was coming; each time I’ve told Xzennophone to tell Barnaby to tell Macfarlane, and Xzennophone to tell Conroy to tell Wong.
Some nights I’ve been in tears at home, burning up with the indignity of the way the other MPs treat me. I tried telling David Hawker about the teasing and bullying but he didn’t seem to care. Even my son, when he got home from school the other day and found me on the lounge with Blanky, told me to “harden the fuck up”. I told him that’s not very Christian language but he just mumbled something about wishing he was adopted.
So when I heard some people this week start talking about a One World Government that might be formed in Copenhagen soon, I got very excited. Maybe I could run for election to a government that is kinder and more accepting. A government that is inclusive and considerate. A government that looks at all of my sides of the story. I mentioned to Susan that this new government will add significantly to the Pope’s workload given that he’s the head of the world, but Susan told me he’s only the head of the Catholic Church. And you could’ve blown me right there and then when Susan dropped the bombshell that the Pentecostal Church is not part of the Catholic Church so the Pope isn’t even the head of me! A lifetime of delusion, it seems.
Anyway, I’ve started doing some research into how one would go about running a campaign for the One World Government, and I’m trying to book a flight to the Hungarian capital to be at the centre of the action at its inception. Given that Australia is part of the world, and the One World Government will be the world’s boss, I will be able to have much more influence over Australia’s PMT policy from the OWG Parliament than from the chamber of Australia’s Senate.
Until next time.

Dear Mr Fielding
I thought I would give this Christianity lark a go as you seem to be doing very nicely trusting the good old lord God in the highest to provide and who will sort out all our naughty emmissions. He even has a beard which is popular attire on this site. So last night after my fifth beer and being a bit peckish, I prayed for a curry or a pizza. I did pray a bit harder for a curry but did pizza as well because I know they deliver and this would an easier miracle to get my epithony going. After several hours I gave up and found some old walnuts. If your great bearded wonder in the sky can’t see his way to deliver one measly chicken Jalfreizi then I am certainly not going to devote my life to your so called God. I shall try Dreamtime next as that seems more believable.

Dear Steve,
About this graph. With respect, but are you reading it the right way around?

Steve, you’ll get my vote for our senator in the One World Gov.

A One-World Government, eh? An intelligent guy like you should know that the only One-World Government *we’re* ever likely to see is the One-World Government under our Heavenly Father when he comes triumphantly to Earth to banish evil Labor voters to Hell and assert his Heavenly reign over we true believers.
We don’t know the time or day. It could be any old tick of the clock. Yada yada. So keep the faith, there, Steve. Keep resisting the evil socialist moves to “reduce pollution”. What’s pollution matter anyway? God is coming any day to save us. Let’s leave our future in the hands our Heavenly Father.
He knows best. Dummies like us know nuttin’.
Right, Steve?
Amen.

@RX – God is not very organised, giving definate arrival dates has been totally beyond the almighty father for 2000 years, and don’t give me that Omnipitant cop out. What if we all behaved like this? This Lord on high needs to learn how to commit to a time so we can all schedule the arrival into our busy lives. Disgraceful carry on, at least with the Rainbow Serpent you know where you are.
