Cullen Calls Morality 'Silly'!

The world's silliest Finance Minister Michael Cullen this morning described the idea of tax breaks for those with private health insurance as "silly."

"Well, silly me!" says Libertarianz leader Peter Cresswell.

Cresswell responds with the argument that "if I pay my taxes with the expectation that I will get treatment if I fall sick, and this treatment then fails to transpire (as we hear everyday that it so often does) then it is apparent that my money has been taken under false pretences." This, he points out, "is outrageously silly. Worse, it is a fraud!"

So how can anyone avoid this silly fraud? Perhaps by opting out of the public system and making our own arrangements? "Uh oh, though!" says Cresswell. "There's a problem with this too - I'm now paying for services I will definitely not receive, so the fraud is not just a possibility - it's a certainty. Now that's extremely silly."

To correct this silly situation there is only one solution claims Cresswell: "Mr Cullen, I want my money back!" he says. "What's that you say, Michael? Don't be so 'silly'? It's a 'silly' idea, you say? Indeed it is not, Mr Cullen. It is in fact a logical idea, and utterly moral."

Cresswell slams Cullen's notion that morality is "silly," but notes that it is hardly surprising the word's silliest Finance Minister is also morality-challenged. "Thank goodness there is one party that understands that force and fraud are wrong," says Cresswell. "The Libertarianz are the only alternative for those of us who are sick and tired of being viewed by the government as 'silly.'"

"It is indeed enough to make you vote Libertarianz!"

Gordon Campbell: On the Sony cyber attack

Given the layers of meta-irony involved, the saga of the Sony cyber attack seemed at the outset more like a snarky European art film than a popcorn entry at the multiplex.

Yet now with (a) President Barack Obama weighing in on the side of artistic freedom and calling for the US to make a ‘proportionate response’quickly followed by (b) North Korea’s entire Internet service going down, and with both these events being followed by (c) Sony deciding to backtrack and release The Interview film that had made it a target for the dastardly North Koreans in the first place, then ay caramba…the whole world will now be watching how this affair pans out.
