.. and the pensioners, the blind the halt and the lame, the insane, the Buddhists, Maori ex-patriates and Pacific Islanders, Pakeha ex-patriates, Rhodesian ex-patriates etc.... the unemployed need representation somewhere somehow.... before they fade into dust....
You know (*pulls up chair for fireside chat)....I think there are far greater issues affecting our country at this time than quota representation.
We, the ordinary people, have had a hell of a time at the hands of various of the Fifty Shades of Grey Government we've endured for the past thirty years or so - each of which has set in place a multitude of unpopular and often seriously disadvantaging policies and laws and such.
I seriously think the time is long overdue for a full revamp of such things as unemployment and income earned on the side, with a withdrawal of the very stupid vicious punishment that creates a host of New Criminals.. who oddly enough - then find it hard to get work (hmmm)... how about a more lenient approach to a few bucks that the public servants and politicians who run the jihad against the 'low class' unemployed wouldn't get out of bed for?
We are enduring the Unemployment We Had To Have to suit technology and the whims of management and government, including such things as their never-ending 'gender equality' campaigns that continue to rip society apart and advantage some at the cost of the many, the focus on some 'right' of business to treat workers as serfs, and so forth, and governments and their agencies, including the very courts sworn to uphold Right and not government policy, operating out there without any civilised constraint, and breaking the Law time after time themselves in doing so.
What we need is for a RESPONSIBLE government to go back over those thirty years or so and make amends.
I suggest that we raise the drink driving level to 0.08 for a start - how many accidents actually occur at 0.05? The ones you hear about are all at princely (or princessly) figures of .213, or .175 and so on, and surely the Guv doesn't NEED to continue with the lowest PCA in the world as a revenue gatherer, criminaliser and robber of incomes, and remover of rights and social equity from individuals?
What about the mandatory payment of welfare recipients of a minimum child support rate? Now how stupid is a government to take from the poorest to give to some government body - that then does NOT, in many cases, forward that money on to the alleged recipient? Why not cut all the bullshit and just put both on an adequate social security net? After all, it is government's polices of ripping families apart and creating The Unemployment We Had To Have that put them there....
I'd suggest minimum wage at least for the dole and pensions, and the right to earn up to - say the equivalent of a politician's found money in Canberra - what - about $300 a day tax free? Yeah - that sounds fair, but include dole and pension to make that total, OK? Earn up to $1500 a week before you lose any dole or pension - as back pay for being a victim of the aforementioned Unemployment We Had To Have... that'd help cover the times of low to no incomes for a while... and produce equality....
Don't forget the average weekly earnings for Paid Parental Leave instead of goodies for the well-heeled at 50% of income not shared by their poorer bros and sis. Average Weekly Earning for six months would do the unemployed single mum a world of good and certainly would work better towards gender and social equality.
As for boat people - bring em all I say! Let's build nice resorts they can share with Japanese tourists, and we'll employ locals to cater to their needs. That would keep the money inside Australia AND the economy, would salve our consciences, and would make it a reasonable deal to WANT to be an Australian - at least before the Reverse Tide of Aussies leaving the joint starts for real. I mean - we can still send the undesirables back to Afghanistan for the New Taliban to kill off when they resume power.
We can always use the resorts later for more tourists and so forth or for retirement villages....
What we need here is FEWER prisons, not more, and we should be deporting all undesirables TO Afghanistan under a New Colonisation Scheme, as occurred with the founding of Australia. Within a few years the place'd be a Christian paradise and worthy of tourism... we could send some of the more rapacious parking lot companies and council parking inspectors there to pave the place over and make it civilised with forest of parking meters.
Yes, I think there are many more important issues than Labor trying to suck up votes by yet more policies of exclusion - you know - oddly - when you mandate a fixed quota you EXCLUDE others of real merit......and there is no end to it... ever!
More next time on President Grappler's Fireside Chats.... good night and god bless you all, and god bless Australia - we need it!
