Well may we say - Gough Whitlam sings his dismissal speech

[meakd]

labor have always been corrupt

[TheSwearingBear]

Look at the frame 2:34. Margaret knew not to trust him.

[grahimmy]

Great take on Aussie/world politics. I now look forward to watching your other works. Thanks.

[Jezza46]

Haha funny and fitting music there. Was that done on Apple GarageBand? xD

[topologyrob]

@Jezza46 No, it's all played live by my band

[Jezza46]

@topologyrob Oh ok, it's great orchestration by the band there :)

[danielmy08]

This fellow was a disgrace glad he got his just deserved.

[raulmelancholy]

This is hilarious! Where might I be able to download it? Or would someone be able to email it to me?

[nriogn]

where can i download this song?

[topologyrob]

@nriogn iTunes - Topology "Big Decisions" album

[Idolsofwood]

This is frikkin genius!

[1AussieAvenger1]

regardless of political persuasion... this vid was entertaining, funny, and well done.

gough, mal, bob, paul, john, kevin.... all can smile whilst they're lying to your face. 2 party politics means standing for the party and not you real beliefs. all should be independents.

not one party with any credibility... all guilty.

[topologyrob]

Thanks! I hope the piece is not too one-sided - it's really more about the surreal qualities of this event in our history. I see it as something of a carnival.

[1AussieAvenger1]

cheers topologyrob.

nice way of displaying a comical part of our nations history. the music is a classic. suits it down to the ground. sounds like a drunken waffling buffooneries lament. that sort of describes the situation pretty well.

all the best rob.... 5 stars

[Themikanic]

Pity we won't all be here in 18 months when the recession is over to discuss how the best country in the world rode out the recession and went on to be stronger than ever.

Thank GOD we have a visionary Labor Government to see us through this!

[ruddsadudd]

RUDDS A DUDD

[boysdontcry95]

@ruddsadudd you found two rhyming words,

congratulations !

[vinylman4533]

As if Turn bull and his mob would do any better in steering the country through the most difficult economic times since the 1930's. In fact his mob would possibly make things worse by cutting spending as they doggedly hang onto the economic credo which is only suited to booms not busts.

[ruddsadudd]

shows what a complete fuckwit you are i'm a green voter and i tell you pal rudd is no friends of the greens or the environmental movement but you just go on supporting him while the earth dies you intellectual dwarf

[topologyrob]

It's not clear to whom you're directing your ire...

[ruddsadudd]

Greens maintain your rage! don't put up with the new lying rodent rudd

[Focoist911]

Speaking of fuckwits, have you even worked out yet that 9/11 was an Israeli led false-flag operation? Nope? Then you Sir are a useless fuckwit.

[timcmaeder]

One Angry Bogan

[ruddsadudd]

RUDD'S A DUDD

[iTitanium]

your a dud.

[lolcat284]

His a dud?

[dabble778]

Rudd's more like the beer you hate the most, but when you're at a party and the only beer is the worst beer, you drink that beer. Turnbull's Liberals are the party where there's no beer, or wine or anything. You ain't having fun at the Liberal's party. Rudd is dull but he's fantastic. Keep spending Australia's nest-egg, Kevin on things we need: no war, education, the poor. :-)

[davidtregenza]

that was really good and how did you get the videos of the dismissal

[topologyrob]

Thanks - I got help from the ABC.

[lysis28]

This is great! Very Steve Reich (Different Trains etc.).

[topologyrob]

Thanks! Both Steve and I were influenced by Scott Johnson (John Somebody), though Johnson was himself influenced by Steve's early pieces. Then there is also Mussorgsky, Janáček, Harry Partch, Frank Zappa, René Lussier, Hermeto Pascoal, Jason Moran, Rudresh Mahanthappa, David Mahler, Red Symons, Jonathan Dimond... the list goes on.

[samtheband]

why do people insist on having out of context conversations in comments like these. Keep US Politics in the US.

[cleaverwielder]

Our politicians are so much more interested than the united states ones, there is too much deadweight rhetoric in the American speeches, Look at people like Whitlam, Keating, Costello, Joyce, Bjelke-Petersen, the direct, witty conversation with the bulky political rhetoric destroying the impact of their statements. I mea look at the negative reaction to Clintons "It's the economy stupip" Keating said worse to the speaker in parliament.

[edwards22b]

gulf is a bum. sir john kerr is a ledgend. if he were alive id buy him a beer.

[hmasmelbourne]

true, true.

[hmasmelbourne]

Why are so many people downgrading the comment!

[samtheband]

gulf? Sir John KERR? are you serious? you are an idiot. I hope you didn't vote.

[dabble778]

Wasn't his name WAYNE Kerr? ;-) (or was that Wayne Goss?) Well may we say...

[topologyrob]

Carter is not a climate scientist, but a marine geologist. The climate scientists are virtually all of a very different opinion. Carter is clearly politically motivated, and feeds people's wishful thinking - of course, we'd all love him to be right. But the science doesn't agree.

[cheeseepeas]

those Bushvision, Australian Environment Foundation dudes... they're all Institute of Public Affairs cronies.... funded by Gunns, Monsanto, British American Tobacco etc etc. don't take em too serious!!! ;) their version of "environmentalism" is sending Don Burke down to Tassie and telling us to support the pulp mill hehehe

[hmasmelbourne]

Sorry topologyrob, but there is evidence to the contary, carter is a marine geologist, who works with deep sea cores which are far more accurate than ice core data and Nasa computer generations, which are faulty anyway. Besides, his evidence is far more credible than that of others, in 10 to 20 years, the tempreture will go down.

[nudenuts]

YOU TUBE SEARCH BOB CARTER, LECTURES 1,2,3 AND 4..Completely debunks the "global Warming" myth with Empirical science..not celebrity driven hype!

[cheeseepeas]

Bushvision president Leon Ashby is a director of the Australian Environment Foundation. Sounds Kosher enough, right? WRONG!!

The Australian Environment Foundation is a front group founded by the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), a conservative Melbourne-based think tank.

Former IPA director, Mike Nahan, described the AEF as "pro-biotechnology, pro-nuclear power, pro-modern farming, pro-economic growth, pro-business and pro-environment".

[yourgasm]

I was so glad Whitlam got dismissed. Fuck Whitlam!

[topologyrob]

So are you going to make any comments on the actual music here or what?

[cheeseepeas]

yeah, i think it's grouse!! I d/l'd an MP3 of the first bars (well may we say etc) last year some time, been wondering if there was more/ haven't heard it all yet, but good one!

[topologyrob]

Oh, Climate Change is definitely real, and humans have caused it. Not much wiggle room there any more if you are at all scientific.

[BigDon62]

Well we will have to agree to disagree, there are many eminent scientists that most certainly do not agree that man has contributed to global warming, reckon Big Al Gore looked stoked upon arrival in Oslo, that was a very political award. Alfred Noble would have caused fireworks if he were still alive & heard of Gore's win....thought that was a good line, even if I say so myself.

[BigDon62]

Noble was into a bit TNT production ! I'm just to good for you green puffs this morning ! Lol. Do any of you think Al is putting on weight ? I do hope he farts in an environmentally friendly manner !!!

[nudenuts]

You're spot on Big Don! Do you believe the leftist hype or empircal science on this one? Notice they do not say Global warming anymore, it is climate change now! what a joke, when hasn't the climate ever changed? Google search Dr Bob Carter, lectures 1,2,3, and 4 at James Cook Uni..Flannery and Gore et al have no answers! Repeat the mantra and attack the man is their philosophy.

[cheeseepeas]

The IPA is funded by its membership and also by corporate interest groups (including Gunns Limited, Monsanto and tobacco, mining and oil companies). Have a nice day!

[BigDon62]

Well I watched that ABC version of "Swindle" too, but there was over 20 mins. missing from the original TXed in March 2007 on The UK's Channel 4 - I have the FULL version, it runs for 76 mins. Apart from that there are other eminent men & woman who agree that Man Made Global Warming is no where near proven, what pisses me off is so many think it is. What about fair dinkum research ! As mentioned before too many people have a very good reason to silence critics....money & lots of it !

[BigDon62]

Well the nightmare for Australia started on 24th.Nov., you & others like you don't realise it yet, but I feel better to have put the thought into your vacant mind so it will not hurt as much when you awake from your dream come nightmare ! - I see you appear to be online, I must go now but will reply to your pithy comments when next on the net.

[BigDon62]

No not offended at all & characters like you need a firm knowledgeable hand to guide you through life, we are born to rule over you & your kind, plus the rest of the population. Your question was silly, but be glad I have indulged you, as I feel sorry for light thinkers sometimes & it seems I could pick your brain up with my little finger....

[brakers001]

Don you are a self indulgent ill informed yuppie wanker

[BigDon62]

BRAKERS001 Yes I love to self indulge & indeed indulge with others, I'm actually very well informed, I'm too old to be a "yuppie" as those I feel under 40 can claim that title, if they so desire....as for being a wanker....I do indeed masturbate, do you ?

[BigDon62]

You sound like a typical leftie cum ALP type, I feel sorry for you, as your mind has been brainwashed over the years from the likes of The ALP - but it shows your mind was susceptible & weak in the first place, it is alas too late for you to better yourself, but please accept my condolences.

[brakers001]

hi Don many thanks for your kind words.There's not much else I can add since you are so well informed

[BigDon62]

Well thank you for you kind words in return, but I'm always on the look out to learn more,so please feel free to start an Education Revolution....that sounds familiar, does it not ?

[brakers001]

Ok Don Ill keep it in mind

[WaffenKartoffel]

This parody of his impromptu speech is an apt arrangement given the jovial nature of the Labor party's existence.

[BigDon62]

Yes they are a jolly party, am wondering if Australia will be laughing at the end of it all ? I fancy not....

[thruglow]

What a meanlingless statement..."I fancy not"...'Oh, I fancy another cream bun and lashings of ginger beer - old chap'...sounds like something Alexander Downer would say...I don't know about you BigDon62, but ever since the election, I haven't stopped laughing - atg the Liberal Party, crashing in slow motion...enjoy your irrelevence and political oblivion!

[BigDon62]

Well I wonder how you can fancy the idea of a video in your subscribe to list entitled " John Howard's failed legacy on Aboriginal Reconciliation " - even your inexperienced new PM is going to implement that Coalition idea too. You sound like a conceited corrupt person.

[BigDon62]

Just another ALP try hard in other words....The Liberals Are Born To Rule & that is born out by election results over many years. You Labour types will fuck this country up again & The Libs will fix it ! That is the way it goes...like it or not....

[thruglow]

Whatever...I don't care what you have to say BigDon62 - you're clearly a self-rightious ranting fool who is easily one-over by Liberal Lies and Myths. The Libs are a Party in decay, and you will see that there relevence will slip further if they do not get withe times. Born to rule - get f#cked you tosser!

[thruglow]

BigDon62 - No amount of ranting from you will change the legacy of the Howard years. I prefer to take an objective look at his failures, and there are many...look at the party that he has left in tatters for example. If Howard had cared about *anyone* else but himself, the Liberals would have had leadership from Howard that would have involved generatioinal change. His inflated ego ensured that that didn't happen. For you to accuse me of being corrupt because you disagree is just pathetic.

[BigDon62]

Well those born to rule have more balls than ALP soft cocks like you ! Yes I'm self-righteous because in myself I know I'm right. Clearly I'm dealing with someone with a very low IQ - The Libs in decay ? You speak in usual ALP rhetoric, so why can't a fool like you actually type the word "fuck" ?

[BigDon62]

I can because I can get away with more than a wanker like you sunny, as mentioned I'm born to rule & have the balls to type & say what I think & don't give a dam what insignificant little cunts like you say or do ! Hope you can understand the base English language, if not get back & I'll teach you how to type proper English.

[BigDon62]

Also I spotted a few spelling mistakes in your ranting post....you are an uneducated ranting fool too....You Loser THRUGLOW ! - This was your first lesson in The Education Revolution....ummm....where have I heard that before ?

You see old chap if you had been civil to me with your abusive ranting fool post, you would have received a civil & polite reply. Let that be a lesson to you as well....

[thruglow]

BigDon62 - The only thing that I've learned from you is that you are a complete and utter d#chhe#d! Lessons to be learned?! Ooh - I made a few spelling mistakes as I hastily typed my comments - should I have them spell-checked before I submit my 'paper' next time? You are one grumpy, mis-guided old man!

[BigDon62]

I advise you spell check if you can not spell without help, sloppy typing leads to sloppy policy, as you will learn from your ALP mates....that reminds me, have a Captain Cook at my latest upload, you can see Wayne Swan make a twit of himself, the guy can't even sign for his own job without stuffing up !

[thruglow]

My ALP mates are in government, because they presented honest, coherent, well considered policies for Australia's future. The biggest problem with you is that you cast a critical eye in all of the wrong directions. In regards to signing, well we know that with the stroke of a pen the Labor Government will be singing up to the Kyoto Protocal, and that is far more important than a petty observation about Wayne Swan.

[BigDon62]

I do not believe in man made climate change, so your comments to me re. Kyoto are totally irrelevant.

[thruglow]

Irrelevent to you, and a rapidly diminishing minority perhaps - for the rest of us, there's a little something called scientific evidence - you should try examining it some time.

[BigDon62]

Yes I have read reports & disseminated info. Also if you care to check the counter to An Inconvenient Truth, you might want to ask more questions, I speak of The Great Global Warming Swindle.

[thruglow]

I watched 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' on the ABC, which included an Interview by Tony Jones with Martin Durkin, and subsequent debate between a panel of experts. If you have watched this program, seen the interview, and the response by *experts* to the various claims, data inconsistencies and ommissions, and think it is *very* difficult to place any weight on a film that is clearly misleading and based on a lie! It is available on Youtube in its entirety for those who didn't see it.

[BigDon62]

Also THRUGLOW do you know how much money Australia will have to pay those Global Warming Swindlers if Kyoto is not met ? I do, but wonder if you do or even care....if you lose your job over this crap you sure will & if you don't you can bet your sweet arse others will

[thruglow]

Don, as I said, I watched the program, the subsequent Tony Jones interview, and the following discussion between a diverse panel of people including world-leading scientists, and business interests. The overwhelming consensus is that man-made Climate Change is real - that discussion is over. The focus now is on how to deal with an imminent problem. While you dither over debunked lies and myths, the world is moving on. Get real will you.

[thruglow]

"BigDon62" - The point old son is that you *think* you are born to rule - in your head, and your head only. John Howard thought he was born to rule too - so much so that he *refused* to hand over the mantle to anyone else in the Liberal Party - and look where it got him - and his (and your) party! So if it makes *you* feel *big* Don, then you keep on thinking that *you* are born to rule. Good one...

[OthelloCat]

BigDon62: You may wish to drop the ampersands before you consider teaching others about "how to type proper English".

[BigDon62]

Well OTHELLOCAT I take your comment onboard and { see I will spell "&" in this post just for you, but revert for further comment,as is my fancy } I look at it this way, I do not know your nationality, but I am still a British Citizen living in your wonderful country, hope you like that pithy Americanism ?

[BigDon62]

As such one feels a certain amount of poetic licence is allowed by me, after all I speak the language that is named after the country of my birth, sometimes I'll revert to The Queen's English, but from time to time I will continue put my own imprimatur on my native tongue, one hopes Our Sovereign Lady The Queen will not be offended ?

[BigDon62]

Please do not remind me of the various languages English is made up of, know all that and respect those links. Thank you for your concern about my writings and one hopes you have enjoyed my feed back to you ?

[thruglow]

BigDon62 - Apart from a small penis, what else in life are you 'born to rule'? Step on up - don't keep the world waiting now...

[BigDon62]

That is such an old attempt at insult. Have you seen my penis, or heard reports of it's size ? I think that is a new way to ask an old question I must say....tell me your size & I will tell you mine & we will clear the rumour mill, but why did you invoke the word penis first ? If you are female, tell me are you shaved or not & what size are your breasts ?

[thruglow]

BigDon62 - nobody cares about the size of your penis for goodness sake - that was not the question. The question was "what *else* in life are you born to rule"? Sheesh. Sorry if I hit on an insecurity of yours. I think it is a little disturbing that you are actively seeking confirmation as to the depth and breadth of my assets or the size of my 1.1 Trullion Dollar Economy. Why does the word penis offend you? Did God let you down there?

[brakers001]

well said thruglow who is this BigDon62 guy? sounds like a North Shore yuppie born to rule type LOL

[thruglow]

brakers001 - Who is BigDon62, and what exactly was he born to rule? These are the questions that hitherto remain unanswered!

[BigDon62]

Why don't you try a little FOI ? Do so & I'll sue the arse of the people who gave you my info ! One could say it is now in ALP hands, but by posting this, do I really care a fig ! Kept this clean, I do respond in kind....oh who are you then ?

[thruglow]

Dream on boy.

[BigDon62]

The ALP are the best party....for dreamers....they undoubtedly are the most experienced, dreaming is about the only thing they are experienced in....their dreams always end in nightmares though, so sad.

[thruglow]

The result on November 24th showed that dreams can come true for those who believe in a better and fairer country for all Australians - not just the privelaged few. Sad? You might be - I couldn't be happier!

[BigDon62]

Same goes for you sunshine....

[brakers001]

yeah right

[BigDon62]

This video was put together so very well, shows us what buffoons Whitlam & Keating were & are now. Rudd will be know different. I was with a few school mates soon after the dismissal in England, must say we had a good chuckle at these ALP types trying to play Statesmen, or whatever one did in 1975 out here in Oz, but we all concluded they were the biggest jokes in Australia.

Cheers !

[boogiefever1985]

I can't understand why but you're pretty much condescending scum. What have you ever done for politics in Australia anyway? Do you at least have a degree in politics? What are your vested interests and ulterior motives in spreading your conservative propaganda? You are just as bad as the lefties who do the same. Your vote is still only one vote. Get off your high horse please.

[thruglow]

I'm sure there will be plenty of jokes thrown around the table in Bali about Howard and his *inadequacy* in regards to Climate Change. History judges people by their actions and inactions. If you judge the ALP by their policies, then you don't have a leg to stand on. Theya re the ones, not the Liberals, who modernised the Australian Economy through reform. The only joke at the moment are the Liberal Party - oh how the mighty have fallen!!

[theoriginalstronzo]

lmfao.good work

[gadflyzzz]

thank you.

[thruglow]

Interesting!
