Our treacherous Servants

If we are to have good government which looks after the welfare of the people rather than themselves then we must rid ourselves of the establishment parties; that is the Liberal/National party, Labor party and what is left of the Democrats who appear to be awash with homosexuals.

 

Homosexuals are also well entrenched in the other parties - why do you think we are saddled with such ridiculous laws favouring perverts. And new menace is the infiltration of racial aliens into these parties with a new aggressive contender the Islamics stashing their branches.

 

Unless you are dead sure in being fortunate enough to have a concerned politician then you must vote the sitting member last and where possible vote for either of the patriotic parties or an independent, but only if you are sure of his/her motives, sometimes they are stooges for the major parties.

 

The following was sent to me:-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Dear All ~ Our pollies live in poverty; Where do they get their bread? It's up to us to help 'em As they strive to get ahead!

 

So just keep voting blindly, Make sure they get their fill. With one hand in your pocket And the other in the till! 
 

 

"Sitting members of the federal parliament will now have $217,000 of taxpayers' money in an election year to spend on printing and postage mail-outs, leaflets, and every other type of personal or party propaganda"

 

The answer to this outrage is to never vote for the sitting member.

 

NEW HEIGHTS FOR DOUBLE-SPEAK - OR NEW DEPTHS? by Betty Luks:

 

"These measures will encourage greater public participation in our democracy, which will lead to a fairer, more competitive electoral system" - so announced the Liberal spokesman when releasing details of amendments to the Federal Electoral Act.

 

Dean Jaensch of Flinders University wrote of the amendments for his readers in the Adelaide Advertiser 30/8/06.

 

To sum up the most blatant:

 

. Candidates for the House of Representatives will now have to pay a deposit of $500 and for the Senate $1,000. This will make it harder for minor parties and independents to contest elections. This proposal met with Labor support - of course.

 

. The raising of the level of undisclosed donations is now $10,000. This means that a political party will not have to disclose who gave how much to which party unless it goes over $10,000. Jaensch observes this amendment does nothing for transparency and financial influences on the political parties.

 

. Further, the amendments increase the level of tax-deductible gifts to parties and candidates from $100 to $1,500 per year. He asks: "Why should the taxpayer give to a person or business who has donated to a political party?" Charities are acceptable to most people - but political parties?

 

. Sitting members of the federal parliament will now have $217,000 of taxpayers' money in an election year to spend on printing and postage mail-outs, leaflets, and every other type of personal or party propaganda. Peter Costello - good fellow that he is - defended the overall expenditure of $20 million.

 

Pity the poor taxpayer: "But," writes Mr. Jaensch, "there's more." For the first time, sitting members can now use taxpayers' money to print their how-to-vote cards and the millions of postal vote applications they send out at every election. "But surely these, especially the how-to-vote cards, are for the benefit of the party?" he asks.

 

Taxpayers, take careful note of such gall: You the hard working people in this land, not only do you have to bear the weight of the heaviest taxation in Australia's history, you will now be funding - over the three year cycle - nearly half a million dollars FOR EVERY MEMBER OF FEDERAL PARLIAMENT to assist him/her in holding on to his plum position for as long as he can, at your expense.

 

TELSTRA:

 

Not only have the sitting members done their best to ensure they retain their plum positions, they have also decided to sell another huge portion of the people's asset, Telstra - and, wait for it, invest the proceeds from the sale into what is known as 'The Future Fund'.

 

Future Fund:

 

A vague term implying a benefit for someone, sometime, down the track. It is an investment fund set up by the politicians on the proceeds of the Telstra sale
(to be managed by David Murray, former chief of the Commonwealth Bank) to ensure that when the politicians do finally leave the political scene they will have access to a share of the golden eggs the Fund will generate for them. As for the under-serviced country and remote area Telstra customers... tough luck.
