What is the REAL solution ?

[Die Judicii]

We are all guilty of blaming the government/s for the current plight of our used to be great country.

The common catch phrases of, Weak Kneed,, Knee Jerk Reactions,, Gutless,, Clueless,, Ill Informed,, are a daily occurrance.

But where does the repair actually begin,, and what in particular needs to be done first and foremost, that will set us as a country back on the rails ????

So, become a Prime Minister, or even the government itself,,,,,,, and list in order of importance, what the REAL solutions would be for Australia.

in 1996 , john howard didn't just introduce gun laws , he brought in free trade agreements , which removed import tariffs . the tariffs protected local industry and manufacturing. i've watched our industry decline over the last 30 years , we've lost jobs and the skilled workers those jobs produced . we hardly make anything anymore , it's all imported . urea for fertilizer is in the spotlight at the moment , we used to make it here . government didn't learn about our sovereignty and security from covid at all . we almost ran out of chemicals for purification of drinking water during covid cause it's imported from china . so to me , making things here is a big one, for our security and jobs .

secondly, scrap duel citizenship . it hardly inspires loyalty and patriotism to australia as a nation . much more stringent checks on immigrants . we've let some real ratbags into this country that don't assimilate . their here for the better living conditions , not to become australians

get out of UN agreements . the UN is driving our ridiculous green policies and dictating what refugees from what countries we have to take as well as influencing some of our foreign policies. our country , our choices .

our political system needs to be overhauled . one vote for the person your voting for . preferences and voting boundaries are being skewed to favour the duopoly . they've also put a cap on donations to the minors to favour the duopoly . it's hardly democratic .


so there's a few for ya DJ . it's early , my coffee hasn't kicked in yet , so some of these views maybe flawed . but this is the key points to me . when i did a stint recently driving a truck delivering plumbing for commercial and construction around brisbane and the goldy , the most common big projects in industry where massive sheds for transport and logistics. in a year i can't recall delivering to any new manufacturing business , just logistics for imports

here's a discussion on what is wrong with the country and proposed fixes from barnaby . i know some don't like him , but please watch the whole thing . the situation is clear as day and the fixes are clear too . we just need the right policies and government to fix this country

Sack every politician and make them reapply with proper background checks.

Pay politicians a basic retainer, then bonuses for actually achieving what they said they would. If I say I was going to do something, and I only do 90% of it I don't get paid anything and my client uses that money to pay somebody else to fix the mess.

Cut 95% of bureaucratic jobs!

Repeal 90% of our laws. We have a law to prosecute people for murder, we don't need 1000 additional laws about how they murdered somebody, or why, or when, or where, or what with.

Get out of the UN!

Take proper control of our resource exports.

Start building an actual defence force with Australian resources.

Teach kids patriotism and love for their country.

Stop allowing importation of welfare voters, we should be importing assets instead of liabilities.

[Fester]

A country so rich in natural resources should never have ended up like this, but the UN has some sort of hold over the uni-party.

It may have been the latest Topherfield, but not been watching much of him, so not real sure, a good guest that is ex-military explained how that other good ex-military polly tried to fix the fuel dependence issue, and others like our defence, that is weaker than Elbo himself.

Even after they spend the millions on reports to show the evidence, small change to them.
They put it away as the next election is the only concern.
He admitted it was different, and Hawk, Howard, And the Keating types were thinking past the 3 year term.
I think they fell for that pattern that we left them for 6 years to let them actually doo something, but as we all now know, they do nothing.

Only One Nation can force change, but I think Wong wants her charged with the hate laws they made.
We will see how far they go, but in Wokeworld, they may well do it to get back to the uni-parties and all their consultant mates keeping their noses in the trough.

With the hard times not going away, how can we now afford the massive govt, and govt waste. I don't see how we can.
Minns can now see that NSW can't even afford the new airport infustructure or to fix the hospitals.
They can now see that their mates roads company and the private profit collecters have also failed.
No point even bringing the new high-rise living and housing crisis as we all know what Sydney and Melbourne will end up like.
A total mess si my guess.

The only sure thing is the kids will pay dearly, and for now we will have to pay for this mess.

They think the latest war is over, and it will all be swept back under the carpet, but something else will occur, as well as mother nature paying us back.

Give professional dole bludgers the option of being taken OFF the electoral role, in exchange for not being hounded to get a job. That way, pollies won't be afraid to tackle real issues for fear of offending a large voting block.

[Damo300]

Remove the behind the scenes lobbying and influence..
Sack the entire government.
Remove councils and put the responsibility back with the state.
Term limits in all positions.

For starters these new communist Queensland laws banning speech need to go. I don't agree with them but I support their right to say words.

Excluding express threats of violence. IE I am going to kill you, rape you, attack you etc etc. People should be able to say what they like no matter how vile or disgusting some may find it.

actually , i think one aspect that hasn't been mentioned is the legal system . justice is expensive in this country . mind you, a lot of crims get legal aid for free . judges , especially ones who make poor rulings or give out inadequate sentences should be more accountable . the american idea of electing them, rather than appointing them is a good idea that would see judges lift their game in regard to community sentiments and expectations in sentencing . JMHO

Well doing the same thing over and over isn't getting any better results, things are going downhill and it's a person problem. That is, the same old people backed by the same string pullers, slowly working towards an even bigger mess than now.
The only thing that can be done is a change in the mob runs the country. What else is there to do?
If it's the same duopoly, we all know how that's going.
Unfortunately, people just seem to be still looking for reasons that miraculously the same old incompetents will suddenly change because people complain on social media.
Then complain about how the alternatives that have never actually had a go, will be no good either. I've done the same thing, tell the politicians I'm not happy and want them to change, but they never do. They're instructed by a hidden machine that doesn't listen to us.
The only way to stop this is to make a decision not to take it anymore and give the others a go.

The masses have proved that they won't have the courage to make the change, oh they'll keep complaining about their lot, but do the same old things and fall for the same old lies at election time. Then cop the same old butt-reaming, but do it anyway. Then scream about it. Surprise! The situation repeats.
They're the same old whiners who will put down others who have a go and succeed, and refuse to be told what they can't do.
So make the change. But will that happen?

everyday people i know and work with have had a gutful , at least on the outer fringes of brisbane . most , after me preaching ON for a few years , are bitterly saying their voting ON next election . more a protest vote than any real support for the party , but the current situation with fuel hasn.t hit the food sector just yet , but when i does it and the cost of fuel will be the straw to break the camels back for a lot who are already struggling . guess we'll have to see .
yes, i know i'm a optimist

When I was an apprentice boilermaker in the '80's, I remember the politics of the day all too well because you couldn't escape it.
The Unions under Hawke had limitless power, and I saw wages and conditions improving, but then they became drunk on power and there were strikes every month.
Over time, and many people forget this aspect, it became too expensive to make things in Australia and some people ruined it for everyone.
Also, in the frenzy to blame John Howard for everything (and I hate the man over his decision to react to his own out-of-control emotions and enact Labor's pre-written gun laws) people get something VERY wrong.

It was Labor and Hawke who stuffed us all by removing tariffs on all the stuff we imported here and destroyed the great things we made here, and subsequent govts of both commo and conservative never fixed it.
I remember at the time, WTF?
Why are we doing this? I could not see how this could ever end well, even as a 2nd year apprentice at 16. The tradesmen that were teaching us were baying for blood and always wanted to strike over stupid things, even though they never got paid to be off work. Marriages and homes were lost over striking about silly things.

AND, although anyone would be a fool not to use the benefits from this or risk being run over by the economy, making the purchase of a second or more family home a tax benefit has destroyed this ever being a reality for almost all young folk, and actually ruined the whole system.
