[Gobbledock]

Is George Orwell a prophet? One has to ask the question. Just a handful of years before Australia's epic and continuing regulatory reform program commenced Orwell said this;

"Life in Oceania is a world of perpetual war, omnipresent surveillance, thought control, and public manipulation. An elite and privileged Inner Party governs the superstate through merciless persecution of individualism and independent thinking or "thoughtcrime". The leader of the Inner Party is Big Brother, a personified entity with no physical presence. Four omnipresent Ministries are the instruments that control all aspects of life in Oceania"


Surely he was prophesying the arrival of Pumpkin Head? Orwell was describing DOIT and Pumpkin Head succinctly! How could he have known? Magic? Voodoo? Premonition, done a deal with the Devil? It is an amazingly accurate description of Murky's empire.

Yours truly (and coincidentally)
