@Senator_Patrick Following the recent Angel Flight debacle, this latest story is evidence that @CarmodyCASA
and @CASABriefing have lost the statutory plot. It’s time the @AuSenate RRAT Committee inquired into the performance of this out of touch regulator #auspol
--> Finally a voice in the wilderness.
Patrick; batting at number three opens his scorecard with a neatly guided ‘4’. Past the keeper and across the rope for a nice opening to what, all hope will be a long, substantial innings. McDonald is at the other end, holding a low average run rate but not getting bowled out or caught behind, despite formidable ‘pressure’ fielding. Playing against the Canberra Bubble first XI is a tricky match at the best of times, their pitch ain’t level and the wickets have a habit of sagging, either left or right – depending on the prevailing wind conditions. There’s always plenty of hot air blowing on the Canberra Bubble home pitch. But, there is hope and good odds for the batsmen; some of the bowling has been 'lackluster’ - to say the least and just a little ‘off’. No matter, they have their rightful innings and must play up as best they may. It will be tough for ‘em, hostile crowd, home grown umpires and rules which only Methuselah could comprehend – on his better days.
Outside of the members bar, stands the crowd of supporters, the unwashed, the unshriven and the poor sods who’s tax dollars pay for the luxury in the members area. No matter, their support and hope for a plebeian victory is strong, unanimous and unshakeable.
It is a lot to load onto our two combatants out there at the wicket; but they carry the hopes (and potential tote winnings) of the oppressed on their pads and in their gloves. Bring it on; I say. Turn up Queen, Rock ‘em – hard, long and as often as need be.
Wait for it – best guitar riff ever – bar non.
