Parakeelia. Sounds like an exotic and colourful member of the
parrot species, but it's a bird of prey.
Its activities have not yet achieved the attention they deserve
because, when one says "politicians' entitlements"
and "political funding disclosure" in the same sentence,
the national eyes glaze over.
Well, sit up and take a bit of notice, because the manner in
which Parakeelia has buried its beak in the national feed tray is,
once the legal chicanery is stripped away, as brutally simple as
laundering drug money through a casino. Our taxes are funding the
Liberal Party, in large sums and without our informed consent.
