Mangled Thoughts

For someone who is an ordinary member of the Victorian Liberal Party, how is it that Kroger exercises so much control over it?

Well, there is Peter Costello, the Treasurer with Kroger. Then, very wealthy Toorak Brahmins behind Kroger, a number of whom have made fortunes out of the combination of Bracks and the ruined Liberal Party. Then, there are also the worse than incompetent, venal, dumbkopfs who constitute the navel gazing, self admiration societies called the HR Nicholls Society, the IPA and CIS.

A very small circle, who dominate the Party. They control Party appointments, both wings as marked by rigging selection of candidates for safe seats and marginal seats. That the Parliamentary Wing is as effective as fairy floss spattered on leather seats is just one upshot of Kommissar Kroger’s thuggery, and Kommissar is the right description and title for Kroger, as we shall lay out.

In short, a small, closed circle, who treat the Liberal Party as their personal property, and as an instrument for realising their own interests. The membership are only vassals. Readers who followed the items on the KKR last year are fully clued in on:

Though only an ordinary member of the Party, holding no office of the Victorian Division, Kroger had, nonetheless, stacked the Administrative Committee of the Party, and the paid positions in 104 Exhibition St., with useful idiots, which means anyone who is thicker than he is. Sheezel, for example, is the proverbial dead dodo, a stick puppet, which is why he is State Director.

It is interesting to note, past State Directors include, Kroger’s and Costello’s pals, Petro Georgiou MP 1989 - 1994 , and David Kemp 1987 - 1988.

We have three instances with which to draw out how Kroger continues to wreck the Liberal Party, and is doing the same to the Federal Liberal Party. This item is in three parts, this section being the first of three parts.

Pt. I. My mole inside 104 Exhibition Street -

[Yes, Kroger, a barbed wire canoe floats better.]

supplied the inside on: Who made the decision not to contest the bye-elections, and how they did it.

The answer to the first question is: Michael Kroger, with the fulsome support of his inmate, David Kemp.

The answer to the second question is: Kroger stacked the Committee through which the matter had to be voted on.

As thick as two bricks though he is, Ted Baillieu wanted to contest the two forthcoming bye-elections for the seats vacated by Bracks and Thwaites.

Kroger stacked the pertinent committee, so that with his fellow treacherous thug in tow, State President David Kemp, they effectively controlled 3/4 of the votes. Kroger, and Kemp, said no, so that’s how the glove puppets voted.

Ted Baillieu, in view of the stacked numbers, abstained from voting rather than be humiliated by Kroger, and Kemp. Though, why Ted feared embarrassment is a good question.

Kroger despises Ted. Why? There’s no difference between Ted and the other blobbies pretending to be Liberal mps. So, there’s another reason.

Ted is, perhaps, too independent of Kroger? Whatever, Ted was handed a fine opportunity to strangle Kroger and his puppets. Ted chickened out, which also reflects his incompetence.

Not to overlook David Kemp’s part in this act of treachery by Kroger. Kemp, as State President, heads the Administrative Committee, which controls the central committees inclusive of Standing Committees of:

(a) Federal Seats; (b) State Seats; (c) State Campaign Strategy; (d) Rural and Regional; (e) Membership and Branch Development; (f) Constitutional; (g) Media and Communications; (h) Training; (i) Senate Campaign, and (j) Area Finance Liaison.

Consider more closely, for eg.:

The Federal Seats Committee shall consist of :
(a) seven members appointed annually by the Administrative Committee;
(b) a Chairman appointed by the State President from amongst the members of the Administrative Committee, and
(c) three members appointed by and from the Federal Parliamentary Party.
(Clause 15.2 amended 3/4 April 2004)

The State Seats Committee shall consist of :
(a) seven members appointed annually by the Administrative Committee;(b) a Chairman appointed by the State President from amongst the members of the Administrative Committee, and(c) three members appointed by and from the State Parliamentary Party.(Clause 15.3 amended 3/4 April 2004)

The State Campaign Strategy Committee shall consist of:
(a) the State President who shall act as Chairman;
(b) the Leader of the State Parliamentary Party;
(c) the State Director;
(d) the Chairman of the State Seats Committee;
(e) two members appointed annually by the State President, and
(f) one member of the State Parliamentary Party appointed by the Leader of the State Parliamentary Party.
(Clause 15.4 inserted 3/4 April 2004)

The composition of the Administrative Committee ( from Section 13) includes the State President; the immediate past President; each past President “for the period of three years after vacating office if still a Party Member”

Past presidents include Kroger Puppets Russell Hannan 2006 - 2007; Helen Kroger 2003 - 2006; and the Puppet Master himself, Kommissar Michael Kroger 1987 – 1992.

Lastly, it can be noted from Section 15.7:

The Constitutional Committee shall consist of up to eight members appointed annually by the Administrative Committee;
(b) a Chairman appointed by the State President;
(c) one member appointed by and from the Federal Parliamentary Party, and
(d) one member appointed by and from the State Parliamentary Party.

In summary, the committees are tightly controlled by Kroger and his treacherous pals, including David Kemp the current President, and Peter Costello.

Why was Kemp elected President “unopposed” in April this year? It’s only a rhetorical question. How could it have been otherwise when a narrow circle (of which Kemp is one) control the core committees.

Kroger, and Kemp, decided to undermine the State Victorian Party further by quashing any attempt to contest the bye-elections. What they have done is totally written off the State Party, which, mind, follows their real aims, and they are Federal:

To advance themselves on the back of their fellow thug, Costello. They really do believe Costello will be Prime Minister.

After all, it’s Canberra, not Spring Street, that offers the scale of self-aggrandisement they seek. They are the equal to craven mobsters.

David Kemp’s excuse for not contesting the two seats, is, to reiterate, an appallingly crude attempt to paper over what he and Kroger are immediately culpable of. Kemp pleaded:

1.“The decision was taken in the interests of the Party, and service of the members”. Garbage, absolute garbage, as many Victorian Liberals now fully appreciate. It’s a damned lie, Kemp.

2. “To conserve scarce resources”. What an economic illiterate he is, and always has been - entrepreneurs develop resources. Members hand over income derived from development of resources to the Liberal Party to fight campaigns, to spend on fighting against socialism, and the advance of Liberalism, and not for defeat to socialism.

When it comes to funding, though, another mole inside 104 Exhibition St. broached: donors are drying up fast, and the Party is on the verge of sinking far below the red line. Is it any wonder ?

Donors are not about to throw hard earned money down the gullets of a pack of treacherous, venal cowards, whose least crime is that they are so incompetent the word hopeless is a generous adjective. Answer that, David Kemp!

Kemp can’t answer because, like Kroger and Costello, he is so conceited, and stupid, and contemptuous of members and voters, he cannot see that even die-hard Liberal Party members are out of sheer fury and frustration quitting the Party.

So, Kemp, Kroger, Costello, Sheezel, where will the funds come from? The Greens? Unions? Perhaps the RBA will counterfeit a few more trillions and hand them directly to the State Liberal Party to prop it up? What a pack of bums.

How to fund bye-elections:

Here is an answer to Kemp’s non-existent bye-election funding problem:

Sack Julian Shezeel, and the savings of $800 per day, 365 days of the year, means the Party can fight a couple of bye-elections each week, if required. Presto, there’s plenty of change left over to contest a large number of Federal seats.

David Kemp, as Kroger, is a liar. Or, does Kemp prefer to be renowned for being simply completely stupid. Either way, one can say this, the actions of Kroger and Kemp have angered many a Liberal Party member from all walks of life, and this comes on top of:

The airwaves last week were loaded with disgusted Liberal Party supporters, Albert Park voters, even ALP voters also disgusted by the antics of Kroger and Kemp. The sheer brilliance of Kroger, and Kemp, is breathtaking - as in having been winded from a blow to the solar plexus.

In conclusion to this Part:

The decision not to contest the two bye-elections was unilateral, it was Kroger’s, with the fulsome support of that superannuated “pr” type, David Kemp. With the Committe stacked, of course Korger’s order was enforced, by his puppets, and his fellow, craven, myopic swindlers.

Something which needs to be pointed out is, under the Constitution, Kroger can be expelled from the Party, and he must be.

Sheezel should be sacked, though he also qualifies for expulsion, together with “Potty Mouth” Barry, Russell Hannan, and Helen Kroger. Their actions against Richmond, Prodos, and other instances of coercion of branches, and vicious actions against individual members, branch stacking show, trampling over Party rules, that their expulsion from the Party is fully justified. They have all, including Kemp, acted against the Party, and its members.

Part Two examines how Kroger ensured Labour Markets’ Reform was undermined. Yes, not just Hugh Morgan, Des Moore, Ray Evans et al, but Korger too. Kroger’s contribution is distinct and stamped by his singular capacity for treachery.
