The Beginning of a Great Adventure
The oceanic shores. A traveller caught half way across. We are creeping into consciousness. Oceanic. Osmotic. Strange times indeed.
It felt like they had tried to kill him, igniting a storm of protest. There were low games and many things hidden behind screens. Inside screens. Triggering heart attacks and dismissal of the gods on Earth; as if chem trailing to eradicate the spirits. Who knew what the truth was in this strange derangement that was the times. Probably pedestrian. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all.
He stood on the edge of a precipice; on the edge of a great shore. We couldn't see very far. They settled into place. The country was f...cked. But we already knew that. Nothing to learn here. Nothing to see here. Although he continued to be astonished on a daily basis.
It's an honour to be in these days on Earth. It's an honour to serve.
The whole Vax story had turned into The Killing Fields.
The Referendum on the Voice to Parliament had turned into a quagmire.
The Prime Minister, with his Moon glasses and the swirl of self-importance that went with the role, stood in front of Uluru and urged the nation to vote Yes.
Who are you to tell us this? Who are you to tell us anything? To deride anyone who disagrees with you? To turn the nation upside down?
Evil, one of the protestors down in Canberra had said, infests those halls, pointing to the national parliament. It's as if, when they enter there, an evil spirit possesses them.
What other explanation for the madness that had infested this place?
Serial incompetence? Low energy? A fascination with the plain, the mundane?
He didn't know. In the end he didn't care. Or wished he didn't care. Fly low. Stay out of sight. Seek the same safety that animals had sought for millions of years, camouflage, security, protection. Who would know the truth of any of this?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been confronted with polling which shows the Northern Territory seat of Lingiari is set to vote No for the Voice to Parliament in an interview with Sky News Australia from Uluru.
Mr Albanese joined chief news anchor Kieren Gilbert from the foot of Uluru on Tuesday, as voters prepare to give their verdict in the first referendum to be held in 24 years.
The Prime Minister said there is a “sense of history” in the Voice referendum and he hopes Australians “take this opportunity to vote Yes”.
However, when Gilbert pointed out that polls indicated the referendum would likely emerge unsuccessful, including in the seat of Lingiari where the Prime Minister was speaking from, Mr Albanese was highly sceptical.

PM compares misinformation about Voice to 'fake news' around apology to Stolen Generation
'Unacceptable conduct': AEC urges civility at polling booths
Co-chair of Yes campaign 'deeply worried' about misinformation and Australia voting 'No'

ACT Chief Minister casts ballot, says he's 'apprehensive' of prospect of 'No' vote
The co-chair of the Yes campaign says she's "deeply worried" about Australia voting No in the upcoming referendum on Saturday.
Yes23 co-chair Rachel Perkins has told triple j Hack she thinks it'll be close.
"I am deeply worried it will be a 'No' and I don't know where to go to from there.
"I mean, think you have to ask the 'No' case. But I think it can be won and I think Australians, particularly young Australians, have a sense of justice and I don't think they're scared."
Perkins added she's surprised by the amount of misinformation spreading in the lead-up to the Voice referendum.
"I don't think we were prepared for the amount of conspiracy theory that's coming out of the post-COVID age, distrust of government, perhaps we were naive that we didn't know how low people would go."

Australians have the opportunity to “lift the burden of history” from Indigenous people by voting yes to the voice to parliament, a clearly emotional Anthony Albanese has told a gathering of traditional owners at Uluru.
The prime minister sat with leaders from central Australia, including the most senior traditional owner of the rock, Reggie Uluru, on a hot afternoon in the national park at the base of the rock on Tuesday.
Anangu women performed, including a new dance they created using big digging sticks which the prime minister later said symbolised carrying the burden of the referendum.
“The sticks represented the burden of the yes campaign, the burden of feeling the weight of history which is upon us. [We have] the opportunity to lift that burden of history,” he said.

On Saturday, October 14, 2023, Australians will vote in a historic referendum on the proposal to entrench ‘The Voice’ in the Constitution.
The long campaign has revealed the contentious and divisive nature of this proposal, which the government promoted as a ‘unifying’ moment for Australia. But quite to the contrary, the referendum, if successful, will cement, on a permanent basis, group rights over individual rights. It will involve the preferment of a group of Australians over all others, merely on the basis of their race – a characteristic over which people do not have control.
For this reason, the long and divisive Voice campaign endured by Australia’s population could well be described as the nadir of our country’s political history.
But the referendum also provides Australians with an opportunity to reject the government’s ill-considered determination to make racism a permanent fixture of Australia’s governance.
For too long, the rights of Australia’s citizens have been eroded with welcoming ceremonies respected by few, flags purporting to represent some people and not others, and ubiquitous place-name changes. Australia is a country where impressionable children are being taught to be ashamed of their diligent forebears who made Australia a wonderful place in which to live and a magnet for migrants who often come from countries where civil rights merely exist in dusty law books, but not in reality.
Considering the prospect of racism becoming entrenched in Australian culture, it is quite astounding that people might still be mesmerised by the slick marketing messages of the government and be cajoled into supporting ‘The Voice’.
The opinion polls point to a solid victory for the ‘No’ case. The latest ABC poll of the polls predicts a vote of 41.2 per cent for ‘Yes’, clearly trailing the 58.8 per cent recorded for the ‘No’ case. If that poll is replicated on October 14, it will be a resounding victory for Australia’s silent majority. This victory would have been achieved despite the relentless and nauseating television campaign of the ‘Yes’ camp.
However, the limitless amount of money thrown at ‘Yes23’, the unqualified backing of ‘The Voice’ by the present cohort of Australian Premiers, the ill-considered and, frankly, opportunistic support offered by corporate Australia and the sporting community may well backfire.
But we should not put the cart before the horse because a race is only decided once the votes are counted. Specifically, we need to worry about the unknown Covid effect which may still spoil the outcome of the referendum. This ‘effect’ relates to the demonstrable conformist nature of Australian society. Indeed, throughout the pandemic era, Australians displayed obsequious compliance with governmental dictates and narratives, even to the extent that it is feasible that ‘conformity’ has become firmly ingrained in the Australian psyche. The demonstrable compliant attitude of Australians revealed their unquestioned acceptance of the explanations given by chief medical officers, whose advice politicians then slavishly imposed on a compliant populace.
