Kommissar Kroger and Komrade Costello undermining the Liberal Party II
Tuesday, August 7, 2007
The complete failure of the HR Nicholls Society on reform of labour markets is due to their appalling economic illiteracy. Having covered that, and Brookesnews doing so exhaustively over the years, the focus is:
What Michael Kroger did to undermine the case and the result, the Federal Cabinet was left hanging.
Senior party figures, early in the piece (2004-2005), disturbed by the prospect of those incompetents, Des Moore, Ray Evans and Hugh Morgan, running the case, made approaches to Sheezel, and Kroger, to remedy the situation.
Sheezel wears his dunce’s cap proudly.
I had it from my mole, Sheezel’s reaction, when handed a copy of Mr. Jackson’s, The Labour Market Wars, was, “What use is that to me?” In other words, he couldn’t confess he’s dense, and so couldn’t absorb it. Mr. Joe Cambria also disclosed some revealing things about Kroger’s stick puppet’s response in his article,
Liberal Party treats members with contempt ( Brookesnews, 17/10/05)
Kroger’s Treachery.
Kroger was handed material, to be passed on to Federal Liberal MPs, economic advisers and strategists, advice they needed in order to run the case soundly, forth-rightly, successfully.
The contents of the material, inclusive of Labour Market Wars, contained:
1. A thorough explanation of all the mistakes and falsehoods, in economics, and fallacies committed by Morgan, Evans and Moore.
2. A thorough explanation of the Union claims, and the arguments of their hired guns, Godfrey and Belchamber, and why they are false.
3. A thorough explanation of labour market economics.
4. How the opponents can be pulverised
5. That the voters must be trusted and given every reason as to why the case is sound, and the basis of a campaign to engage the voters.
All the above was handed over to Kroger, before the HR Nicholls Society could wreck the case, and before the Cabinet had fully committed the case. What is more, neither the Party, nor the Cabinet for that matter, didn’t have to pay a cent for that solid, well grounded advice. What was Kroger’s response?
Kroger said that he would pass the material on. By that, the senior figures assumed, naturally, ‘…to those in need of it’. Well, there’s a problem, Kroger’s notion of commitments is idiosyncratic.
Yes, Kroger passed the material on, to his chums in the HR Nicholls Society. They, naturally, promptly buried it. After all, it would not do to recommend papers and the economists who prepared the material, for that would have showed them to be what they are, economic illiterates.
Out of hubris, and out of personal gain - fat pay checks for doing nothing at all, it was better to betray the case than ensure the material was laid out before Liberal staffers and MPs. It was safe to burn the evidence eg., the sponge -bags put up by the Kroger Party machine as Federal MPs, would not upset the apple cart, as Minchin demonstrated by his ostrich behaviour and cowardice, in retreating from engagement in the case.
Minchin turned up in Melbourne, to apologise to the HR Nicholls over the resulting fiasco!
What do we have in that lot? A bunch of venal, shallow, capricious dunderheads, who would rather default on their obligations than admit there are those who are actually equipped to mount the case, and to take on the left. A bunch of illiterates, who played games with adults’ affairs, marking them as no better than juvenile delinquents.
Make no mistake, Morgan, Evans, and Moore defaulted on their ‘voluntary’ undertaking to serve the Liberal Party in this case.
A bunch of self regarding, venal, craven buffoons who don’t give a fig for what the case is really about, and in their conceit, treated not only and Liberal supporters, Cabinet, and Australians with a contempt so transparent they might as well have streaked stark naked down Collins Street. Yet, that is what Kroger showed too, he’s a streaker, in handing the material to his chums and not to the Federal Party figures who needed the material.
Something more to it…
Kroger really couldn’t pass the material directly on to the Federal strategists, advisers, and senior MPs without his, and Costello’s single celled brain trust having first vetted it. After all, Kroger and Costello thirst for Federal power. How would it have looked if outside talent showed them up to be the ignoramuses that pair actually are? Their total control over the Party is involved too, the fear of its loss, something they work hard to prevent.
No one entertains any doubt Kroger and Costello are thugs. No one entertains any doubt Costello remains Treasurer only because of Prime Minister John Howard. Without Howard, forget the Prime Ministership, Costello would not survive as a junior Cabinet Minister – though, that is why Kroger and Costello are stuffing safe and well held marginals with stick puppets, to ensure they do have a power base in Canberra.
Given the HR Nicholls Society, Moore, Evans and Morgan severely embarrassed the Cabinet, and wrecked the case, what does that say about Costello, as much as Kroger? The club is, after all, not simply Kroger’s brain trust; it is also a support for his fellow thuggee, Peter Costello.
However, in the first instance, the betrayal is Kroger’s crime, another abysmal act of treachery on his part.
Reflection on Kroger and the HR Nicholls Society inmates, in particular- Des Moore, Ray Evans, Hugh Morgan, and the qualities and merit of alley cats and possums.
Though smelly, vicious, flea ridden, screeching vermin, alley cats and possums are much nicer creatures – being dumb animals, you can shoot them. So much for alley cats and possums and their only redeeming advantage.
“Treachery†- readers, that is not an exaggeration. Consider how grave, how serious the matter is: If the Unions win out, and effective minimum wages higher than market prices is imposed as policy again, what will ensue is nothing less than a 100% pay cut for many, it comes in the form of unemployment.
As it is, due to Moore, Evans, Morgan, and Kroger, the case has been dealt a severe set-back. It is not mistaken to say the public campaign has been a long running disaster, right from the first appearance of Morgan on ABC TV to launch the campaign in 2005. What do voters make of the current advertising campaign?
One proffers: infantile, “dumbed downâ€, just the sort of propaganda tripe the Bracks-Brumby regime pumps out daily. Why should the reform campaign echo loudly brainwashing efforts of the regime of Brackistan?
The answer has been laid out above: the advertising campaigns put together by retarded juveniles reflect the root problem, the case was not soundly grounded in true economic theory from the start. Kroger and his fellow liars made sure it would not be soundly grounded.
It is not mistaken to say, the opposition,- the Unions and the States’ Labour administrations (but not, amusingly, Federal ALP) have successfully campaigned against reform. In Victoria, the HR Nicholls Society, Kroger, and the Parliamentary wing led by Teddy, are so hopelessly out of their shallow depth, the Prime Minister is now having to take on not only Rudd, but that socialist lying thug, Brumby, too.
Through all this, the Prime Minister has had to endure the sustained effort of Kroger and Costello to undermine him. They handed him drivel written by Moore, Evans, and Morgan, palmed it off as a solid case, and as a sure-fire way to run it, and to fight the left.
No, one is not over-stepping the mark fingering Costello. His “power-base” is the KKR. Kroger is his Kommissar, who keeps the vassals in the Victorian Liberal Party in their place. They are both in the HR Nicholls Society, and use it for support. Immediately, however, Kroger betrayed the Cabinet, the Liberal Party, and voting Australians again.
You see, readers, principle is not in Kroger’s character. To promote talented people, to assist in seeing Cabinet receives material and advice it needs does not serve the aims of Costello and Kroger. They don’t give a stuff about Liberal principles, about the Liberal Party, its members, and their fellow Australians. They are loyal only to themselves, and their Toorak Brahmin Backers.
Costello wants power, Kroger wants it, and their backers want them to be jobbed into the Prime Minister’s offices too, but for different reasons spelled out in the proverbial quid pro quo. Labour market reform has no bearing to their aims, and so it is dispensable as useless to them. Thus did Kroger betray the Liberal Party, the Cabinet, Australians. Thus is Kroger as culpable for the failure as are his chums, Des Moore, Ray Evans and Hugh Morgan. Well, they have many qualities such as:
They, the whole lot of them, are not bright sparks. They are, selfish, callous cowards. They are, economic illiterates. They play games with adult affairs. They wreak havoc upon all that they touch. Ruination of many Australians does not disturb their calculations, they come first, always. Alley cats can be trusted before that lot.
Buffoons? No, buffoons, compared to that lot, are kindly, gentle eccentrics, who draw the distinction between meum and tuum.
