ROD BARTON MP: Victoria's Judas Iscariot

PANDEMIC WRITINGS, Melbourne, Australia (2020-2022): piece originally published December 1, 2021

Ah, Rod Barton MP from the Transport Matters Party — is the value of your thirty pieces of silver truly worth being remembered as the man who gifted a Tyrant with the legal framework to perpetuate his tyrannical strangulation of Victoria?

All that you have seemingly accomplished in your life, whether it be career accolades and achievements; community improvements; meaningful social and family connections and endearments; will be entirely forgotten and utterly dismissed — your legacy will be singular, unforgivable, and will ripple out and disgrace all that you have done and all whom you have connected with in this lifetime.

None will want to know you, or be associated with your name in the nightmarish period of oppression that will be ushered in by your vote of betrayal.

You have betrayed EVERY Victorian.

You will be amongst the most hated men in Victoria's history — possibly featuring third in the list behind 'Sutton the Deceiver' and the irredeemably loathsome 'Andrews the Destroyer.'

Your decisive vote will forever blacken your name, as it will blackened your soul.

Make sure you have a firm grip on those coins Mr Barton... you would not want to drop a single one, for soon it will be all that you have.... and all that defines you.
