Not Very Important?

Well, it seems that very few people have been bothering to take much interest in the two South Australian by-election ballots today.  The Duke and Duchess of Wikipedia have been more enthusiastic than most of the local news media, except for...

...Adelaide Adagia, of course.

The Mozarty Party has failed, yet again, to find any suitable expert candidates for either of the safe Labor seats.  In Ramsay, in particular, my political colleagues and I had hoped to find a pragmatically and pregnantly pleasant personage to ponder over a great many important policies, programmes and procedures with the people of the electorate.

It is all rather disappointing.  I have put so much effort into improving my noticeboard today.  You may like to take a scroll to see the beautiful results of all my hard work.  I shall also provide the following historical information, to enlighten you further:

Most members of the Mozarty Party are not at all quarrelsome or querulous, unlike most politicians, perhaps because our members have such a good understanding of excellent musical and political ideas.  Local party members often find the usage of words by South Australian politicians exceedingly amusing, though most members of the public find the language of politicians, and even of public servants and media persons, to be merely frustrating.

Some official information about governing South Australia


It is very embarrassing for many Adelaideans, of course, that South Australian politicians frequently only comment in terms of money rather than hospitality, generosity, empathy and courtesy.  I am especially concerned about these issues with regards to tourism, the arts, transportation, utilities and health services.  Are you able to tell the difference between a ship of state and a ship of fools, dear reader?

He's no fool

The Mozarty Party method of protesting is very simple and easy for anyone to follow, even without the assistance of South Australia's Social Inclusion Initiative.  If you do not like a particular government policy and have not received an adequate response to your complaints within three weeks, you may wish to gather a few fellow protesters and sing one of the very pretty Mozart canons.  There are two that we at the Mozarty Party highly recommend, namely K. 231 and K. 233.

If this does not gain a satisfactory outcome within six weeks, the next part of the protest strategy is to try a Divertimento for two horns and a string quartet.  Then have a cup of tea, a bex and a good lie down for a while.

If you are still feeling peeved, there are several other things you can do.  But first of all do ensure you review your strategy to date.  There are several alternatives for each stage from which to choose.


Stage one

either a  |  or b  |  but probably not c


Stage two

either a |  or b |  or c


If the situation does not improve within three months, things are getting ridiculous.  It is time for something to show you are really serious.  We usually suggest you try the Florence Foster Jenkins cure for bureaucratic apathy and official incompetence, followed by another cup of tea and a lie down, without the bex.  A couple of paracetamol, an ice pack and some ear plugs may be necessary, however.

The Mozarty Party three-pronged political engagement strategy is usually successful in most circumstances.  If all else fails there are a few non-Mozartian possibilities we are happy to share with peace-loving persons:
