When do politics and the economies of the common-wealth cease to be just "tough, aspirational, sly, clever" -

- and when does it all become criminal?

There are laws to deal with swindlers. Why should government office grant immunity?

How can we the people of Australia Inc sack all the directors and return this company to public control? It's time to nationalise Australia Inc. It's surely time to write a new constitution.

When Malcolm Frazer lost the 1983 election he had said in the election campaign "you may as well hide your money under your beds" to which the then Opposition Leader Bob Hawke said "don't hide it there, that's where the red's are" the Liberal Party has always used these scare tactics.

Pig Iron Bob Menzies "the yellow peril" and "reds under the beds" and of course the current one "wall to wall Labor Governments" democracy will prevail don't you worry about that.

"It's surely time to write a new constitution."
I couldn't agree more, so may I refer anyone interested to

It's no use fiddling with the existing constitution. It's the problem!
We need, and badly, a completely new constitution.

It isn't for lack of money. We've been throwing money at every issue as if that was all it took, waiting for the money to actually accomplish something rather than ourselves. I can't see any problem with the constitution but, the electoral system need a serious rework. This, if after Bob has enough votes would you place your vote with Sue or Jim nonsense has to go, and we need serious accountability from our elected members to the people they are elected to represent. As for the media. They started to let the people down after WW2 and have gotten worse. Bad news is the only news and anything positive won't get aired.

While Bruce Haigh appears to argue about Local Government versus State Government reality is that the Constitution of Federation only provides for State Governments (Local Government) and Federal government (Central government).
Having clarified this, as a “CONSTITUTIONALIST” I for one deplore the abuses of powers by the Federal Government to squander our paid taxes.

Constitutionally it is not permissible but we have federal politicians who are more interested in grabbing power, even to blackmail states in the process then to honour their constitutional commitments such as set out in Section 94 of the Constitution.
I have set out this and other constitutional issues on my blog at http://au.360.yahoo.com/profile-ijpxwMQ4dbXm0BMADq1lv8AYHknTV_QH.

A problem is also that the High Court of Australia has betrayed time and again the Australian people by allowing Federal government to undermine constitutional limitations, such as with Section 96, which was only relating to States and nothing else.

What we need is that electors group together, kick out those party politicians and teach them a lesson that if politicians put their party politics above the rights and interest of the electors then INDEPENDENT candidates are rather voted for. If electors took this course of action they might just teach the politicians a lesson and a lot of current power abuse may be avoided to continue further!

What we need is an OFFICE OF THE GUARDIAN, a constitutional council, that advises the Government, the People, the parliament and the Courts as to constitutional powers and limitations!
