Nostradamus he ain’t : Comments

By Matt Meir, published 13/4/2007

John Howard's rhetoric that the 'greatest gift of a strong economy is a job', no matter how poor the conditions, is Dickensian.

In my view WorkChoices will be a thing of the past if just the right people are bothering to pursue JUSTICE!
Not until last week did I have time to read the 14 November 2006 judgment of the High Court of Australia, as I was busy finishing other books and have them published and now having started on my next book, due to be published next month about WorkChoices legislation I had to read the judgment.
Well, my book in Chapter 22 sets out why the judges went so of the rails and why there is no doubt by me that the decision will be overturned.

If I had been a Member of parliament I could have on my own prevented, using constitutional grounds, the amendment Bill (WorkChoices) to have even been put to a vote, as while it takes a majority to pass a Bill it takes only one person to prevent a Bill from being permitted to be voted upon using the correct procedure.

It is terrible that with so much suffering to many innocent people, even loosing their homes because they cannot service their mortgage, lawyers appearing before the High Court of Australia never bothered to appropriately pursue the case.
Even so I was not at Court and neither read their submissions, the High Court of Australia judgment makes it all too clear how narrowed the lawyers presented the case.

So, instead of winging about the problems with WorkChoice I spend the past week working on exposing what is wrong with the legislation as well as the Courts judgment. Now it is up others to use it and then have the judgment overturned.
Those who desire to have a copy of this Chapter 22 of my book can get it by email, at no cost, as such it is not some sales gimmick.

Arjay. I made no mention of who deregulated banks in OZ. Where did you come up with that?

What I said was that Bank Fees have gone from virtually zero to what they are today. Under Howard. Clear? Deregulation does not mean you allow banks to rip off customers forever at an ever increasing rate, outstripping CPI by at least double, per annum. To Howard it does obviously.

If you wish to point out the government who made major changes to the future of our economy then point to Labor. They are the ones who gave Howard today's supposed good times.

And the statement about 22% under Fraser. It was indeed and the Treasurer at that time was....John Howard. A record he is so proud of but won't talk about. Well said Johnj.

GST was no mistake. Howard's 25 year dream in fact mate. Both major parties love it and it won't be going anywhere except up.

Keith seems to have read some pamphlets distributed at union rallies. By conservatives. Seems to have regurguitated all the labels they provided him with.

Belly seems to want to rewrite history. No one said Howard was in touch with the people, except Liberals of course. What they said is he knows how to appeal to many at election time, buying votes. Try research Belly.

Anyone who supports No Work Choices should check out the AWA's revealed today which state no pay rise for the duration of the AWA. Five year agreements. Now what fool would sign that in the first place? Only someone who had NO WORK CHOICE. Howard's legislation is a farce but it will stay around long term as all legislation mostly does. Labor will find it useful too and will keep the bulk of it, as usual.

Again though I find the issue here to be barracking for one major or the other. They are both the same and will operate identically in power. There is no choice if you vote for either.

It should be kept in mind that it is all about power and while the major parties are bickering, as they always do, in the end the constituents are ending up worse, regardless which political party or parties are in power.

In my view, if everyone were to vote for INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE, even if it was only once, then the major political parties would get a shock like anything and find that their cozy arrangements of keeping power is cut down.
They may just then get the message that people are fed up with their lies and deception.

The current problem is however that people are too gutless to speak with their head instead of with their wallet.

So many people voted for the Liberals and now may have just found to have lost their job and family home and perhaps their family gone to pieces because when they voted for John coward they had based their mortgage payments upon security of employment. Well, since then WorkChoices came in and with either a reduced incomes (despite working the same hours or more) or having lost their job altogether (so the employer could hire staff on AWA at a cheaper rate, they lost the ability to pay their debts.
I have personally no problems with WorkChoices as it doesn’t affect me. I have no debts and so in that regard can live comfortable but like hell do I like it to see others suffering. The fact that it doesn’t harm me doesn’t mean I should ignore the suffering of others.

So often we hear employers not having put it in and when they go broke the workers have lost their monies. If this is JUSTICE then perhaps I came from another planet, after all I was an “alien” coming to this continent.
Time and again we hear about pensions being duped and all their superannuation gone, and this underlines the crooks are plenty and getting away with it and what about those having lost the lot. Lets try to deal with this problem! Is that too much to ask?
