the bureaucrats have won - a disaster, page-6

Aplogies to John O'Brien for the severe editing but a lot of the people who are spruiking here this morning are starting to sound like HANRAHAN. ....... Soory don't mean to be SHORT with them but they are the ones who laid the bets with the devil.

And so around the chorus ran
"It's keepin' dry, no doubt."
"We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out."

In God's good time down came the rain;
And all the afternoon
On iron roof and window-pane
It drummed a homely tune.

And every creek a banker ran,
And dams filled overtop;
"We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"If this rain doesn't stop."

"There'll be bush-fires for sure, me man,
There will, without a doubt;
We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out."
