Your Will Be Done

It’s all because of deodorant

When the local drunk in the movie “Secret of Santa Vittoria” who was elected mayor because nobody wanted the job, was asked, what qualification he had to hold the position, he answered.

“Ia smella the people and the people theya smella me”

Before the will can be done, the will doer must first understand the will.

To understand the will you gotta smella the people.

There is still one problem.

If they did start listening, it would be an absolute catastrophe if they to pay any attention to about half the contributors on here.

This is the only post I have ever made where I expect full agreement with the basic thought.

On the other hand I expect total disagreement about which of the posters should they should be listening to.

How about a list of requirements for political office

(1) Lawyers, ex-lawyers & members of the judiciary are absolutely prohibited from entering politics.

(2) Any elected official who lies, distorts, misleads or otherwise deceives the people the people in any way will immediately forfeit all salary, allowances, benefits & perks and will henceforth be sent to the front lines in Afghanistan or other suitable warzone where they will remain until some Taliban manages to put the offender out of our misery. Should the war be finalized with said offender still breathing they will be immediately assigned to the nearest suitable conflict, in absence thereof the penalty in clause 5 will apply.

(3) Any instance of nepotism, consorting with developers, lobbyists, media, banksters, the United Nations, representatives of public companies (whether Austraian or otherwise) or nay other person or entity not being a registered voter will be subject to the same penalties provided for in paragraph 2.

(4) Total & irrevocable control of the Parliamentary Renumeration Tribunal to be vested in the people.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, red-headed witches, dying ducks, RAbbotts, GoAnnas, General Disasters, Slippery Petes & any other bottom-feeders nominated by a minimum of two registered voters will be donated to the military with the express purpose of being used for target practice.

(6) In any dispute, the first & final decision will be made by a minimum of two registered voters. In particular, there will be **NO** right of appeal to a court or anyone else.

That should sort out at least a few of the problems

Just think that australians schools don't teach the Australian Constitution. It's a clear indicator where we're heading.

individual - australians schools don't teach the Australian Constitution

Of course not, that would make it much harder for schools to do the job intended of them ie turn out good little team spirited sheeple who follow footbrawl or thugby religiously & who belong to either the red team, the blue team or the green team

If schools taught the Australian Constitution people might wonder why S.116 isn't followed.

S. 116 of the Australian Constitution outlines the relation of the Commonwealth with religion: The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

This applies to Commonwealth legislation but not to the states. However, it is reasonable to assume that any institution that receives Commonwealth funding should be required to observe S. 116. Law as applied is interpreted by the courts. However, we can look at s. 116 and see how it can be interpreted to separate religion and state

School prayer, prayer at public events, religious indoctrination of any sort including what is called religious education can be interpreted as imposing a religious observance. The government allows tax exemption for funds applied to charitable purposes. However, tax exemption is granted to religion on the basis that advancing religion is itself a charitable purpose. It is legitimate to discriminate by selection on the basis of competence. A priest, minister, rabbi or imam is best equipped to indoctrinate individuals into their religion, but sectarian institutions may demand that they hire a cook or janitor on the basis of their religious identification. IMO all the foregoing are violations of S. 116.

Government aid to sectarian schools, religious instruction in the public schools, teaching of creationism or intelligent design as science, and the National School Chaplaincy program (NSCP) are current issues in education where the separation of religion and state is violated.
