TRANSCRIPT OF A PRERECORDED ONLINE CEREMONY OF REMEMBRANCE

Image
  OPENING SEQUENCE Flags & Magpies audio, Title, Warriors Graphic PROEM On ANZAC Day The Word ‘Remember” Is On Everyone’s Lips But What Is It To Remember To Re-Member ON RE-MEMBERING Studies of memory show that a remembered experience has hundreds if not thousands of parts. When I remember an experience it is constructed anew from the ground up, each time with a slightly different set of parts and in a slightly different order. Every memory I have is not only about a thing or event in the past but also about the way I choose to re-member in the present. Every experience I remember is re- membered. The way I remember is mostly shaped by what is going on around me at the time. Context shapes the way I re-member. Though I am rarely deliberate in the way I choose to remember, I can deliberate. I can shape, change and choose the context in which I re-member. Today’s ceremony is about deliberating on who and how we choose to remember. MCs INTRODUCE THEMSELVES (RW) Welcome everyone to thi

ANTE EULOGY FOR A POLITICAL PORNOGRAPHER

IN ANTICIPATION OF THE DAY WHEN JOHN HOWARD WILL SHUFFLE OFF THIS MORTAL COIL AND CLICHES AND PLATITUDES WILL RAIN DOWN LIKE AN APOCALYPSE This was written in March 2008. Nothing has happened since then to change my views on JWH. Johnny who? What a pathetic coward. John Howard waits until he’s out of the country before he makes any comment about current affairs in Australia, and when he does, (in a speech to the American Enterprise Institute in Washington on Thursday 6/3/08) he pretends that he wasn’t given the most humiliating thrashing any political leader in Australia, and possibly the world, has ever had. Howard slams the Rudd government for abandoning Work Choices as though it wasn’t the single most significant issue on which Labor won the 2007 election. Oh, and he makes no reference to the fact that the party he lead to utter ignominy abandoned every last link to Work Choices after being thrashed yet again by public opinion when Julie Bishop foreshadowed opposing the abolition of

ON THE BANALITY OF URGING THE NATION TO PRAY FOR RAIN

Image
"I don't hold a hose"   This post resembles an email thread. The issue that kicked it off is at the bottom. But don’t go there yet. What started as a flippant comment on the banality of urging people to pray for rain, became the opportunity to ponder the level of maturity required to thus exhort the nation; and then to suggest the response of a mature spirituality to the nation’s distress; and finally to get serious about the question that is begged by the ill-conceived assurances of the half-baked - nay, the processed and packaged  - prosperity franchise of Christendom. You could scroll to the end and read your way up, but I don’t recommend it , because the effect of reading the material in reverse order is like being hit by a sledge hammer before tapping the funny bone. It’s, like, bootcamp first, the better to see the funny side of fool’s gold.
