Pixelated Semantics

A schizotypical inventory

A purist Big Brother approach

Man of Steel dissembles on smartcard fascism:

'If you want to take a purist Big Brother approach, well, you don't have cards for anything. You don't have your photograph on your car licence.'

Say what? Very notably, in announcing a monumental backdown over the Snowy sale proposal, the Man also reckons:

'...it is important that on occasions a government have both the courage and the willingness to change its mind on something.'

Why the 'courage and the willingness' suddenly appear over this issue, and not nuclear power, refugees, Iraq, IR, health, land rights, or any other issue confronting parliament in the last 10 years is not yet apparent, although he does offer, in shades of Big Brother puritanism

'It has never been part of my master plan to sell the Snowy'.

Perhaps the Man could share this 'master plan' with the public that elected him.
