Lest We Forget the Bad Decisions

Sponsor Nancy Jones Contest Name Things that suck Lest we forget the Bad decisions … (Myxo the rabbit steal the Bagmans Bunny), first use of a deadly weapon ( Cane toads 4 cane beetles,)( 12 atom bombs exploded …what!!!) Does anyone remember back in 1955 … why we were blessed with atom bombs…. we are lucky to be left alive … The Liberals said its fine… No need to bloody worry mate…. 12 atom bombs that’s all… The Poms might us incinerate…(British) And leave some mushrooms tall… And we of the convict strain … 10 Thousand died that’s all…(bones kept 12 thousand suspicious deaths….) Brisbane town a falling radioactive rain … Geiger counter saw it fall……….tech guy couldn’t zero the counter it got worse near window, rain in Brisbane…..1955/56 So I said to a Pom you dropped the bomb…. No, a tower they’d had a seat… Strontium 90 in the milk for some…. Off the grass the cows did eat…….free milk for the school kiddies back then:(… So the order of the garter … Was given to some mug … For atom bombs the barter…. And they surely burnt our rug.. :( The master is there for the master…. To keep the worker down ….. To contract for the cheapest slave… Like the business side of town ……. The CSIRO man Marston? In the fifties found enlarged thyroids in sheep he checked all over Australia Found evidence of the radioactive poisoning of Australia …He tried to warn the Australian public but only got his comments In some farmers magazine due to political interference by the master ….. This is what happened and there is a documentry available in the Aussie ABC shop.
