WA Libs are a quokka shit
Posted by clubwah on May 14, 2008
The bad month for chair-sniffing West Australian Liberal Leader Troy Buswell just gets worse with untrue rumours, that he once did something “inappropriate” to a quokka, a small marsupial native to Rottnest Island.
In what is surely the political quote of the year (I shit you not this is true) Mr Buswell denied the claims saying: “I don’t shy away away from that at all, but I’m not aware that I’ve caused any offence to a quokka.”

I couldn’t believe it when I read this. The guy’s been accused of fucking a small marsupial and the strongest denial he can muster is the one you quoted. Fucking unbelievable.

“I did not have sexual relations with that quokka”

I love the URL for the Age piece: chairsniffer-denies-quokka-rumours.
You couldn’t make this shit up.

I have just been seeing my parents off at Central Station. They’re going on a big train holiday… all the way to Western Australia. Uh oh.

Maaaaaan
I step out of the office for 5 mins for a latte..and I miss this one.
My bad week continues.
I ‘hope’ they mean the time honored sport of quokka soccer. Then again, no I dont. Thats just fucking cruel. The other possibility does involve reciprocal loving.

i didn’t endorse bestiality then did I ?..

What next, Mao? Gay marriage?

And what policy was Buswell announcing again?
brokenleftleg said
The Hun’s come up with one of the funiest headlines ever on this matter.
“Buswell in quokka shocker”.
azza said
So what if he is a quokka fokka, it’s not like there is anything wrong with that… is there?
After all, the Dutch discovered and named Rottnest Island and it’s not illegal in Holland; since he hasn’t “caused any offence to a quokka”… mind you if the quokka objected, then it would be an issue with the law.
Any comment from the quokka?
Ross said
Why do politicians wrap quokkas in masking tape?
So they don’t split when they fuck them.
What do you call a quokka who caries her own masking tape?
A slut.
Clayton said
I want to hear from the quokka.
“…I only know him as Mr. Bumswell”
Clayton said
“I’m not a perfect individual and you know I’ve had a robust past”
I’m gonna use that.
Couldn’t say it better. « Dave from Albury’s Weblog said

Why don’t you modify this blog now that the real story is out? If you do not, if you let it stand that this crock of shit about Buswell kicking quokkas came from “within the Liberal party”, you’re as culpable and unethical as the jerkoff blogger who perpetrated this appalling rumour-mongering.
Have a look at this blog for the correct story of events: http://theboomtownrap.perthpunk.com/wordpress/ and take note of Rolan Stein’s stance on the matter. Any decent person would share his attitude.
I’m no Lib lover, but they can hang themselves without this sort of blatant defamation that bloody Hayden whatsisname has resorted to. A shameful effort, whatever side of the political fence you’re on.
Modify your fucking blog.
Bron said
Oooh.
clubwah said
I am not going to modify my fucking blog!
It’s evident in the story the blog links to that was just a stupid rumour. Take this post for what it is, the highlighting and piss take of a one of the most bizarre political stories since the same poor bastard at the centre of it admitted to sniffing a chair.
While I admit a bias against the Liberal Party no amount of work by me, or even Rupert Murdoch himself, can do more damage to the WA Liberal Party than this bunch of idiotic misfits have done to themselves.
Anyway, you have now provided us with the real story.
gungho said
If you don’t modify your blog, you are as guilty of cowardice and unethical muckraking as Hayden the blog rat who made the whole thing up and is now running from any responsibility.
I am no Lib ho. They’re fucking tossers. But can’t you see that you are contributing to the very shit you don’t like about them by perpetrating this story as fact rather than the fiction it is?
You seem proud of your admission that you are biased against the Libs. Are u so fucking dim that you don’t see how ineffective this makes you? Bias is NEVER good. It’s stupid. If you want to fight conservative politics, tell the fucking truth! Christ, if you can’t see the sense in that and the folly in your current position, you’re as much ‘the enemy’ as the Libs. Grow the fuck up, you undergraduate schmuck.

Modify your fucking blog
… ever heard of the word please, “Gungho”?
Leave it up Wah, any State Opposition Leader (of any party – although all the Opposition leaders are Liberals these days!)who sniffs a woman’s chair deserves to be sent up further and that’s all the originator of the rumor was doing. Big deal. Here’s the originating article, which sort of gives itself away right upfront as being tongue-in-cheek. Go tell someone else what they should and should not write about “Gungho”:
…a friend of a friend whose sister shared a house with a chick whose uncle is a janitor at the Weld Club reckons there’s another Rottnest related rumour doing the rounds. Something about a videotape of Buswell and other plastered Libs playing “quokka-soccer”
clubwah said
Undergraduate schmuck? Great, I might start drunking Yeager bombs and try get in the pants of 19-year-old.
What is up your arse?
This is not a news site so I have no obligation to update any story. Unlike some web sites I allow all comments even ones that disagree with me, which allows for alternate views and a chance to correct facts – okay so it was bullshit started by a blogger like me great – you’ve provided us with the truth.
I think the people that read this post are smart enough to know the story was always bullshit, while being a great source of bemusement.
Lighten the fuck up.
Bron said
Undergraduate? Wah?
HAHAHA!!!
Gungho talks like a schmuck, at any rate. Demanding this and demanding that while using abusive language.
What’s his/her agenda, really?
gungho said
Um, Clubwah, it is very evident by your blog post that YOU were not “smart enough to know the story was always bullshit”! You claim it came from within the Libs, then close with the implication that Buswell’s denial of quokka abuse was not believable! (There you go…there’s an opening, depending on your honesty or otherwise, to claim that this was not your implication…the truth, though, is obvious).
My point is simply that if you leave your blog as it is at the moment, you are knowingly misrepresenting the facts as you now know them to be. This is mischievous and unethical. You don’t wanna buy into Lib standards, do you?
I note that neither you nor Bron have responded to my point about fighting conservative politics with honesty, rather than bias and the sort of dirt that the Libs are happy to resort to…certainly under the contemptible Howard. Why do you ignore this, in favour of defense against what you see as personal attack? It was the most pertinent point I made, and I am in complete earnest on this point. Conscious bias, I repeat, is STUPID.
As for Bron’s dumb comment about my language…well, get out of your middle-class suburban morality armchair gurl. This is the fucking blogosphere. And you’d hardly assess the posters to this blog as being sensitive and polite going by this thread. So why reserve your dainty objections for my foul language? I express myself as I am. If you don’t like it, confine your web outings to Christian blogs or some such shit.
And my agenda? Nothing more or less than can be readily discerned by my words as posted here. You think I’m a Lib party stooge or some crap like that? Conspiracy theories are everywhere, we know, but fuck me, are you serious? I’m on your side of politics, but I’m fucking against defaming anyone, and I’m completely against wilful dishonesty and propaganda, whatever side it comes from. I believe you HAVE to take a stand against this stuff.
Tell me to chill if you like. I will continue to take serious stuff seriously.
Bron said
LOLZ!!
You’re awesome, gungho, especially with your baseless assumptions about who or what I am. If I may quote you, mischievous and unethical. Yep. You’d know.
clubwah said
OK, I took the bit out about the claims coming from his own Party. That was never the main point of the post – more the fact that I never, ever thought I’d ever see a politician have to deny such a claim.
But while you’re quick to shoot the messenger it’s worth noting that the only reason this story got the coverage it did is because it was linked to Paul Omedei’s claim that there are many more stories to be revealed about Buswell and that he will died “a death of a thousand cuts”.
The masters of anti-Liberal propaganda are the Liberals themselves.
gungho said
Onya Clubwah. That’s an honourable response to my admittedly uncouth urgings. The small changes you’ve made make all the difference, as you’re no longer misprepresenting the facts.
And yes, I agree with you that the Libs are their own worst enemy. There is no need to post lies or unfounded implications about this mob – they’re doing a good job of imploding all by themselves. Stay ethical and attack them with the truth – far more potent than resorting to muck.
Hey Bron, re-read my post. I didn’t say YOU were “mischievous and unethical”. I was referring to Chungwah’s knowingly misrepresenting the facts, and I stated this clearly. Your response seems a bit hysterical! As for my “baseless assumptions about what I am” – I did find your objections to my language smacked of boring suburban standards, and that was the basis on which I made my assessment of you. Wouldn’t call it a “baseless assumption”, then! More like a rash judgement based on a small amount of data! Sorry about that if I got you wrong, but objecting to a few good Chaucerian words of colour was a little tedious of you in my view. Still, polite diplomacy has never been a prominent feature of my presentation, I acknowlege that.
Anyway, glad to see the issue that prompted me to post a comment has been addressed. Thanks for listening.

Chungwah? How do you know my brother?
raydixon said
Does ChungWah like potato cakes too Wah or is he more into the dim sims?
BTW, I think “Gungho” just likes the sound of his own keyboard. Crikey, keep it brief mate.
Gungho said
hahaha – yep, yours is a famous family, Clubwah. Hi from your bro.
Pretty pathetic comment, Raydixon. If you have something to say, you say it, doncha? That’s what I did. My turn to ask: what’s up your quoit?
John Surname said
Why is it always the Liberal party stooges?
How is the Young Libs going? Met any nice quokkas recently?
raydixon said
Good to see you’re getting briefer in your comments Gungho. Good work, keep it up and you’ll soon have nothing left to say. Btw, last time I checked the quoit it was all clear, unlike the quokka’s.
clubwah said
I don’t mind criticism and opposing opinions on this site, but I don’t like comments boards degenerating into traes of personal abuse – which is why I have deleted a couple of comments from this post.
Gungho said
Seems like you’re very selective in whose posts you delete, Clubwah. I note that the ones having a shot at me remain up, yet my responses – which ironically enough were just about the only ones I’ve posted not containing “bad language” and were probably less insulting than the ones from others you have left untouched- have been deleted. Real fair.
You know, on my blogsite, I have a genuine no-censorship policy. I hate censorship, and I have found that spats usually blow themselves out. When you start taking sides as you have done here, the whole thing becomes a bit of a power trip for the moderator. If you have a policy, you should exercise equality in its implementation. But fuck, it’s your site. All a bit disappointing from my POV though, as this sort of selectiveness in implementing a supposed policy runs contrary to the true ideals of the blogosphere. Never mind. I won’t be back, but then, you don’t like dissenting or different voices, do you? Have a nice happy playgroup and keep reinforcing your fond notions of yourself as having it all right while the others – the “enemy” – have it all wrong. I’m talking generally, not referring to politics. The twits who accuse me of being a Lib stooge won’t have that, though. But who cares? Certainly not me. There you go – another post to delete. Bye.
clubwah said
I deleted a couple of comments, including one directed at you – there’s a difference between having a dig at people and abusing people.

He makes Iain Hall look downright friendly, doesn’t he?
Bron said
Hehe, you may have a point there, Ray.
Hey Gungho, you have a blog? Where is it?
raydixon said
Bron, I think he might be the Boomtown
RatRap. That’s where he came in above with the link to “the truth”, and looking at the site, it sounds like him:http://theboomtownrap.perthpunk.com/wordpress/
raydixon said
Oh, and it seems his name is Rolan Stein, which sounds like a play on words for Rolling Stone (surely no one is called Rolan!)
Bron said
Yep, a quick glance at that blog sure sounds like him: full of angst and anger.
