How Lash Laroo Came About

3/7/2016

Lash Larue & Hipshot Percussion

Meet western comic book heroes Lash Larue (bullwhip legend, champion of damsels and lost causes and horseback rearing cowboy that saves the day) and Hipshot Percussion (Sheriff Rick O'Shays moustached best friend gunslinger who backshoots the backsooter that was gonna backshoot the sheriff without telling no one. You don't know if he's a crook or a goodie but he always seems to do the right thing).

In my early days in the Territory as a young stockman mustering cattle on Victoria River Downs Station (1966), I always carried a whip and a long moustache, and was, unbeknownst to me, nicknamed Lash Laroo after these characters by Aboriginal-Chinese Stockman and later life-long friend Billie King.

Exactly 50 years ago.

Read the poem "All in a day's work (25 years after)" for a taste of a day's work mustering cattle on VRD.  This year, 50 years after.

How to vote card - Marijuana (HEMP) Party - Solomon House of Representatives

How to vote CARD – Marijuana (HEMP) Party, House of Representatives
Electorate of Solomon, Federal Election 2016

Vote 1 Lance Lawrence, obviously.

Major parties last for obvious reasons. Our two party system sucks and their words are empty.

The more Lazaruses, Lambies, Oakshots and Windsors we have, the better placed our democracy is to reflect the community’s aspirations in the proper scrutiny of ALL legislation for its relevance to doing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.

While sympathetic to all their causes, the Greens have been placed last with major parties for their antidemocratic collusion with the Liberals in the Senate to do away with minor parties. Party fever and prospects of dividends is confusing their “grassroots” origins, and their preference distribution choices in some Australian electorates is questionable at best.

By swapping preferences between minor parties and independents, we stand a better chance of sending a message or a messenger to Canberra.

Lance Lawrence is fed up with the state of Territory politics.

For 50 year the "man of the land" has lived in the Territory and watched as governments have tried and "failed" to deliver better outcomes for Territorians.

"I am completely incensed about what is happenng now," Lance told Rural Weekly.

"My main concern is the health and education of the Aboriginal people."

"I came to the Territory 50 years ago and the lack of resources in remote communities is a joke"
