Australian Parliament

I just watched ten minutes of Australian Parliament. Listening to and looking at the representatives and, in particular, the speaker.....honestly; we are fucked. Any chance of having a government of this country that will do anything positive for the future plight of all people who live in this country, for anything positive toward rational, logical government and evolution of our country, is hopeless. Both in the short term and very long term. As I write, the debate is now about a minister requesting the removal of a book by Chopper Reed from an Australian Government website, as recommended reading for Australian students! The squabbling, responses and interjections, all at a very high level of what can only be described as inanity, is relentless.

The state of the current Australian parliament provokes a rebellious repsonse. I believe the current status quo demands that all reasonable people should consider anarchism as the only option.

The Australian government is so far removed from what is required in this country that their edicts, jurisdiction and functions are no longer relevant in any way whatsoever.

I call all reasonably minded citizens to declare a state of anarchism until these people get their minds back on the job and start attending to the issues that they should do, particularly because they are paid to do so with the funds earned by our hard labours. These motherfuckers need to go; they just aren't progressing the country in a manner commensurate to our requirements as a people.

    Listen you wankers you're just doing the usual shit of hanging it on the politicians without doing or offering anything different. I hate Johnny as much as the rest of you, but at least he got off his arse and did what he wanted to do! He didn't sit around bleating about "the politicians" or the ***** yanks!
    Whining about them is so ***** easy! What would YOU do different?
    ***** all I'll bet.

    I get paid to do what I do; then they fucken take half of it off me so they can have a big fat retirement after prancing around parliament and doing jack. Arguing about petty issues, on our money. Meanwhile australia is looking like a complete disgrace in international eyes. Either a disgrace or a suck up little western island.

    While they talk their bull and smirk their smirks the Australian environment is being ripped raw, the ozone depleted; our grandchildren may just be living in a desert wilderness inside humidicribs. Just because they cunts who I pay half my wages too are doing nothing. Well, not nothing, I suppose they are passing along a large amount of my money to blow up mean Afghany families and tribes who 'were all' responsible for blowing up the World Trade Centre.

    You are the knob who is doing nothing. Standing up and defending our well paid public servants. Meanwhile they show their incompetence on a daily basis. As a provider of their wages I demand better. You can put a bag over your head and continue your bleeting with the rest of the pack.

    Australia once was known as having clever ground breaking governance. Adding many tenants that were taken by democracies the world over.

    The fact is that the current government and opposition are a dark period in our history and we will all pay to get out of these dark woods. We are getting in so deep now there may not be a way out. All of the powerbrokers in government appear not to have much sense of the bigger picture of the potential of this country.

    I demand better from our public servants, especially the ones with the largest paychecks and perks. Do some work for christ sake.

    What would I do different?

    I am not a politician, nor have any aspirations to be one....ok, but suppose I was elected party leader or adviser.

    The number one priority would be to ensure and insist on justice at all levels of society.

    A vote for Pervis would mean parking fines Australia wide would have a cap. The maximum fine would be reduced to something commensurate to the offence. (Something reasonable) i.e. $50.00 for being 2 minutes late back to the parking metre would be abolished.

    Utilities: Telephone, electricity, gas etc.
    Before disconnecting a customer for late payment strict guidelines will have to be met to ensure the customer is aware of what is about to happen. Exhorbitant re-connection fees should become a thing of the past. Utility corporations will have to justify the cost of re-connection fees and other penalties they place on citizens.

    Banks: Service fees, account fees, late charges and other penalty payments will be put under strict scrutinity. A Pervis government will ensure that corporations, including banks, respect their customers. All bank charges will have to justified by way of cost involved in providing the service plus 'reasonable' profit margins. Wholesale ripping off the people of Australia by large corporations will become a crime.

    Environment:
    A Pervis government will reward companies and conglomerates for environmentally friendly initiatives. By moving to environmentally friendly initiatives companies will receive tax bonuses. Companies damaging the environment will face hefty fines and we will police this.
    Our countries resources are finite and the wholesale damage being done must stop ASAP or else our kids kids will live in wasteland.
    The countries stock will also rise as we preserve areas of natural beauty. Ironically the forests also provide us with clean air. Clean air will be encouraged.

    Policies which send extremely large portions of Australian taxpayers money (the budget) to fight unknown people in unknown areas for unknown reasons will not be regarded very highly. Money instead will be churned back into the Australian economy.

    Well, that's my first draft for day 1.

    According to both my dick-tionary and my thesaurus (NOT a species of dinosaur) there's no such word as aspirational.

    To best serve your nation and your fellow man, please frog-march to the nearest open sewer and do a swan dive.

    Viva la revolucion!

    Look, it's simple: Howard is a vicious old cunt whose only concern is protecting the interests of his millionare mates. Nothing else eben makes it onto his blinkered little radar screen. The entire current Federal Government should be sent to see in a leaking Indonesian fishing boat, pronto! Fuck, I'll tow the pricks out there myself!
