Rudd is treating us like mugs

The  Australian Wednesday November, 18 2009-11-18Uphill with Churchill

Paul Kelly, Editor-at-large

"THE PM has had a victory with the Oceanic Viking, so he should drop the spin."  What victory? It is you who should drop the spin.

While our current Prime Minister continues to run our country from the four corners of the earth his ability to be in control is fast becoming a ‘farce’.


 

THE AUSTRALIAN                                                                                                                                               

Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried. (Sir Winston Churchill) [1]  

If the relationship between Prime Minister, Parliament and the electorate is the most democratic part of the system it is slowly being eroded. Accountability, a dirty word in this day and age of the Labor Party, is robbing us of the true meaning of democracy.

Although there is no guarantee that democratic decisions produce just and wise decisions about relations with other nations (e.g. on war, trading policies), including environmental questions and other matters affecting the interests of future generations democracy must be the main aim of our government.

What does democracy mean? In Ancient Greece some cities were democracies, others were oligarchies. Democracy here in Australia once meant being ruled by the people, however, the question now to be considered is are we currently oligarchy and being ruled by the few?

While unions continue to influence the Labor Party is it fair to assume that oligarchy does rule?

From wanting to have welfare participants use a debit card in order to monitor their spending habits to banning up to two year old children from watching television along with other numerous ‘nanny type’ and non feasible policies one can only conclude that Australia is fast becoming the socialist non-democratic country envisioned by Rudd in his essay 'The Global Financial Crisis'.

Labor losing war on bureaucratic waste as consultants' bill hits $450m: November 10th, 2009

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. (Sir Winston Churchill) [1]

   When we look back at the splurge of spin that Kevin Rudd sprouted in his essay ‘The Global Financial Crisis’ we have to ask the question what did he not understand about the word ‘crisis’?

   In my book Kevin Rudd has always from the very beginning of his prime ministerial duties displayed tendencies towards manic depression; he certainly gains admiration for his diplomatic skills, however, it is a definite virtue that I dislikeat the same time I do not admire his vice of here today gone tomorrow.

   Kevin Rudd was voted in as the leader of this country’s government.  Taking credit for our past leader’s successes yet on the other hand continually blaming him for the wrongs facing this country surely does not put him in a credible position.

   At what point of time will both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard take responsibility for the policies neglected by them? Their inability to be made accountable is the real ‘crisis’ facing this country which in time can only lead to Australia being at the real front of the ‘Global Financial Crisis’.

Guidelines tipped to push toddler TV ban -

“Researchers developing national early childhood guidelines are expected to recommend that children under two should not be allowed to watch television.”

Yesterday it was reported that the Government plans to monitor the use of welfare payments - today we read they want to monitor the TV viewing of our children up to two years old.  Will we read to-morrow that they want to monitor those who will be allowed to live past two years old?

"I think it is in Australia's interests that the Australian federal Government balance continues to be seen as one of the strongest balance sheets in the industrial world," he said.

As a retiree with very strong past affiliations with the administration side of both small and large businesses I clearly read between the above lines of the Treasury secretary Ken Henry. Continues to be seen; what balance sheets in the industrial world could Australia possibly have when from all other accounts our manufacturing industries are going to the wall? How do I know? I was constantly called upon to help clean up the financial mess left behind as a result of the Whitlam years and the Hawke and Keating years. Rose C Taylor - Melton West.

Fake Australian priest ‘abused Indian orphans’:
With great reluctance and the desire to switch channels I watched Sally Sara’s report on Four Corners ABC1 at 8:30pm last night; I am at loss to understand why my story ‘Poor Poppy and the Chocolate Man’ as described in an article I wrote ‘Damned not Protected’ was not taken up by a literary agent here in Australia.  Although currently it is being considered for publication in
America, the point I want to make is a follows:

Until we, as citizens of Australia, are encouraged to know and understand the true profile of a pedophile, as I saw it through my story, (refer paragraph below) the heinous behavior of the likes of Paul Henry Dean shall never start to decrease let alone be stopped.

“The author was inspired to write ‘Poor Poppy and the Chocolate Man’ to help bring to the attention of all parents the realization that their children can become victims of a pedophile. At the same time she wishes to give the reader an insight into behind the scenes of the unknowing families, the law enforcement’s detectives’ efforts to help stamp out these ever increasing everyday heinous acts of behavior and the recognition for the introduction of harsher sentences.”

The ABC’s Media Watch was very interesting last night. -- Ant of Melbourne commented

“Apart from the standard and obsessive dig at Alan Jones, it detailed how Rudd’s media unit go about orchestrating the PM’s public outings so as to ensure that a cameraman + sound recordist are present but no accompanying journalist to ask awkward questions of Rudd that might dull some his shine when the footage hits the evening news.

Further, MW reported how Rudd staffers immersed themselves into press gallery chit chat so that they can establish what kind of stories journos are working on which they then relay back so that the stories can be countered by an announcement that is unrelated but more newsworthy in the hope that it will knock any negative Rudd piece further down the news item heirarchy.

To me these kind of ALP shenanigans say 3 things:

1. How subservient the ALP regards the media to be that it could adopt tactics so hamfisted that it believes the same media either won’t care to notice nor bother to raise a protest.
2. The blind ignorance and blatant bias of highly experienced reporters and editors such as The Oz’s Paul Kelly - who repeatedly insists that Rudd “is better than that”. (Is he starting to realise how ridiculous he sounds?)
3. The absolute focus of this government on media (and by extension, public) manipulation and the degree to which it has primacy over the formulation of sound public policy.”

Sounds like you are having the “Sydney Experience”

And there is Zilch (Apart from my approach below) we can do about it with the consensus being; “This is just the way things are these days”.

I hear people on television (Hosts) stating the above “It’s the way things are today.")
Out this way you can end up shot, stabbed or bashed, over the smallest of issues (Car space, etc).
And, in many cases, if you back down (The absolute worse thing to do) this is what will happen.
Out here I have learnt that the best defense is a strong offence, when dealing with certain ethnic groups (Gangs, youths), and the local yobbo’s.   It works.

 

I have many of the local young Wanabe’s (Gangsters) eating out of my palm.
They are used to people cowering, not turning on them and giving them a whooping.
How did we (
Australia) get this way?  Blame the idiots preaching TOLERANCE.

This has led to the belief that all forms of behavior (Including Cultural mores) are to be accepted.
Whilst complaining about it, is considered to be INTOLERANCE.
Drunken Yobs, Ethnic gangs, road rage incidents, etc, etc.
And, the innocent victims, are often portrayed as the guilty one’s.
As the standards slip further and further, expect more of the same Only worse).
Australia seems to be going down the tubes (toilet).
Seeing the way the kids talk and behave, not to mention so called (Adults), it’s mind boggling.
We once had the best living standard in the world.

30 plus years later, after the Social engineers have had their way, we are considered somewhere between 2nd and 3rd world, in many aspects of our society.
Go figure.

That baaing sound of writers debating….

“Why are these people so very, very scared of a debate? Is it that they worry they’d lose?”

Whether it is a debate on global warming and/or any controversial subject, authors like those mentioned by you, are not frightened of losing the debate but very frightened of losing their rights to be published.

They do not want to receive from their agent the following:

“We do not feel sufficiently confident that we could place your work with a publisher. This is a very subjective business and another agency or publisher may well disagree.”

Until all writers can get reasonable protection to say it as they see it, in my opinion there will never be the valuable measure of debates your are seeking.

Rudd makes contracts no contracts at all:

Janet Albrechtsen warns that the Rudd Government’s planned contract law “reforms” will cause havoc in business:

With respect, Janet Albrechtsen’s above quote cannot be classed as groundbreaking news.  Kevin Rudd in his 7000 word essay, commented on by Dennis Shanahan, Political Editor of The Australian, back in January 31st 2009, very clearly stated:

The Prime Minister has vowed to use the “greatest market failure” in 75 years to commit his Government to sensible new market regulation and intervention to stabilise the economy and save jobs.

I stated on the 1st February, 2009:

Far be it from me to suggest that socialism is a new word for communism but it certainly comes very close to becoming an ideology that in the past has led to not only corruption and wars but ultimately the near destruction of civil societies.

http://www.alien2324au.addr.com/capitalism_turns_communism.htm

Surely the past four months of decisions made by our current Prime Minister can only more than confirm his vow of committing to sensible new market regulation……

It is time for positive action by both the opposition party and the minor parties to bring down this government in a proactive manner and steer the future of all Australians back to the safety of democracy.

Talk is cheap, however, from those who know; an acre of performances is worth more than a world of promises.

I suppose you cn spruik about taking down a government where ever and when ever you like - to link it to Albrechetsons dumb analysis of the cotract law proposals is a bit limp ;

And like how are we not democratic? - not liking the decisions of a government is one thing but being deluded about what is or isnt socialism is a horse of a different color altogether

- times are tough - we once lived off the sheeps back then we lived of the back of the miners and “innovative financial products” and now we are paying the price - get over it --

you want to blame some one, blame the government I guess - if it makes you feel better - but give this left right garbage a rest - it is in the Australian context a myth

- both of our major political parties are centralists - and have been for a very long time -

the ideological swing of the political pendulum has a very small arc in this particular liberal democracy.

but given that you, by the reference in your last sentence, clearly rank your self amongst, “...those who know” you may well dismiss these remarks.

And just for my interest and I guess my betterment; may I most humbly ask, who are the others “who know” ?

The right to reply:

Last evening I spent a quiet moment reading Malcolm Turnbull’s 2009 Budget reply.
As a result of his reply to the Swan Budget he was mostly criticized for not putting on the table his ideas for preventing this now $300B deficit.

As I read Mr. Turnbull’s speech, which in all honesty is the most beneficial way of understanding his ideas; it was plainly obvious that any and all suggestions made by the opposition leader fell on the deaf ears of our current Prime Minister.

Let us get realistic – it is only now that we can fully take in the irresponsible actions of Swan and Rudd and unless we have no concern for the future of our younger generation then Australia can no longer claim the title of being;

“The Lucky Country”.

Comment 714 of 746


Early this morning on the Tony Delroy Local ABC 774 radio show, he had as ‘Issue for the day’ Mr. Turnbull’s decision to increase taxes on cigarettes.  I was amazed at the number of people who are against it. 

http://www.abc.net.au/nightlife/

My late husband suffered a long and agonizing death due to emphasesia. He had been a smoker since the age of eighteen years and on average, up until he stopped smoking, he smoked 60 – 70 cigarettes a day.  Although he had stopped smoking for the last ten years of his life in the end his lungs eventually caved in.

It is imperative that we get this type of message across to the people and in order to help those who currently are addicted to smoking the government should supply them with nicotine patches and/or similar ‘reducing the need to smoke’ methods. Emphasis should be made that the recipient needs to want to ‘quit’ in order for any method to work.  If they still want to continue to smoke so be it; but, accept their decision to do so will be at a higher cost. I chose the patch eight years ago and because I wanted to give up smoking I did not need the full recommended course.

Don’t be bullied by the negative – it is only positive action that will save this country.
