Isn't it odd Gayle that I could could pick your profession by your language.Is it any wonder that Labor has lost it's grass roots support like myself whose father used to wax lyrical about Bob Hawke.

The Latte sipping Chardonnay set denegrates the very system that gives them sustenance.Cling to your positive job discrimination since is the refuge of cowards and the inept.

Labor lost the courage and used leverage from the fringe minority groups to beat us into submission under the name of Multiculturalism.Anyone averse to any of the tenants of this philosophy was branded a racist.The broard concept of Multiculturalism can mean all manner of things.They threw any notions nationalism and assimilation out and replaced it with individual cultures that could please themselves.Labor became traitors to their own constituiency.We now have a society in serious degeneration with serious crime,and also in ethical and moral decline.

This politically correct culture that denies the truth for fear of offending the sensibilities of some deviant group makes liars of us all.So don't single out John Howard as the principal offender.We are all liars,including yourself Gayle because you have traded truth for political correctness just to gain a few more votes and delay the inevitable social conflicts we are experiencing now.

The left are on the back foot and are seeking some one to blame for a debacle of their own making.

Australia is not a racist backwater. The problem is clearly emerging from the efforts of this forum that State and Federal governments have abandoned Australian citizens, causing despair and frustration.

They favour multinational companies which cultivate Australian citizens as semi literate consumers.
They favour skilled immigrants whom they do not need to pay to train.
Skilled immigrants only wish to compete with and use Australian citizens in whatever way they can to make their fortune. That is NOT an indictment of immigrants it is just human nature. If an immigrant's governmental benefactor DISRSPECTS its citizens then why should anyone else?

Government has made policy decisions such as HECS fees which facilitate this degradation of Australians in order to build a nation THEY can be proud of. But this is not the role of democratic government.
Democratic Goverments are elected to serve their constituencies not to sell them out to a dream of quick modernisation.

Now some on this forum have suggested alternative governments, but the start up time for such systems, the complexity of forming policy and the time taken to develop electoral trust would see us all in chains by the time they came to fruition.

Now one thing is in OUR favour. Governments have had no serious competiiton for many years. They have become lazy and degenerate as shown by recent PROPAGANDA. All WE need do is call them out on specific examples of this and use our democratic power to have specific truth-in-policy. Sometimes these propaganda policies seem insignificant, but they are based on lies that are eating away at the core of our freedom.

For example, to bring the Iemma machine back to reality two propaganda items glare:

1. If 7/10 people don't want a desal plant then there must be a good reason. To say that overpopulation means strains on water so we must produce more water to overpopulate Sydney by another 1,000,000 people. is a Barry Crocker.
2 . If Michael Costa's obsession with 'keep left unless overtaking' doesn't really mean 'Keep left unless SPEEDING.", it must be changed to "keep left unless travelling at speed limit".

And the Howard government:

1.If HECS fees discourage skilled Australians and allow easy foreign takeovers they must be abolished.
2. If Austalia's economic success is 90% to do with commodity prices, why is Howard saying its 90% to do with his policies? Why is he saying that commodity prices will fall and his sell out polices will be essential? Helloooo, Peak Oil guarantees King Coal is destined to turn Australia into the next Saudi Arabia. Commodities are set to SOAR!

To stop THE government sell out of Australian citizens all you need is to confront the propaganda and force government to abide by truth-in-policy. The above four examples are an excellent place to start and will do more to bring government into line with public expectation than any alternative government ever could.

This article is interesting in regard to the previous posting.

Racist Backwater?

Every single social and environmental problem can be addressed by everyone, and in particular the Iemma and Howard governments, acknowledging the earth's carrying capacity to be about 5-6 billion people, tops. Of Australia's carrying capacity to be about 20-23 million of those people. Right now, we're overpopulating capital cities exclusively for the benefit of consumer driven corporations and glassy eyed politicians. Consequently we are mining resources, not using them sustainably. Eventually, the bank is going to foreclose.

KAEP,
Agreed on last 3 posts, however the majotity of the Australian electrote seem happier watching the Simpsons than the news, if they don't care enough to know what is happening around them, how on Earth do they form an opinion, one way or the other.

Also how do we as activists reach these people who couldn't care less?

I'm sure I have no idea....
