This time Gillard cannot hide her incompetence

Somewhere there are Aussies to blame, although it is hard to find many that admit to voting this abhorrent Government in. We can however see added to the ALP and the Greens, the names of Rob Oakeshott, Tony Windsor, and Andrew Wilkie.  They cannot get away from the smell now,  they could have saved Australia from this Government at any stage,but proved they were nothing but  ALP stooges and have never given up that view regardless of what they say now. We have business failing, people becoming unemployed, Public Service increasing, and taxes and Bank fees making any savings a waste of time. Other major issues are:

• Boat arrivals out of control
• Budget Deficit out of control
• Govt debt sinking Australia
• Farms closing down
• Farms forced to allow CSG exploration
• Unrealistic claims of CO2 emissions
• A Carbon Tax
• A Mining Tax
• Increasing a levy on us to pay for the NDIS
• We have Imaging Services charging full price for a ultrasound, before we get anything back from Medicare.  This leaves families at least $145 unless they have a Concession Card.
• We have diseases we abolished in Australia coming back due to poor vaccination of children.
• We have suburbs in our cities living under Shariah law, because Politicians are not willing to be seen supporting an offensive against this.

It just goes on and on, but there was something they could have done right from the start, that this Government failed to do and failed Australians big time. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING – Australia was in a state of grace, Business was fairly booming, Mining was going well, we had a Surplus, there were no boat arrivals.  There were no children in Immigration Detention, Medicare was more affordable, because we had more in our pockets.  The Cost of Living was lower. Our vaccination schedules were holding eradicated disease out of Australia. This actually left a lot that could be done slowly over time and would have kept the economy moving and brought about Health and Education changes as priorities became clear. But Gillard and her ALP/Union/Fabian/Communist/Green Party could not get it through their heads, when you win Government, and the state of Australia is looking strong. You can afford to do nothing and weigh up options down the track.  Alas for Australia this very basic piece of common sense was not possible for this chaotic undisciplined regime that too many Aussies thought it was worth giving them a go. The Aussie Tall Poppy Syndrome had hit again,  Howard and his Coalition Team that had been so effective were victims of this, and due to this, the Australian Public have been victims of the worst Australian Government in History as a result. Let us be smart this time, realise you can’t give Communism a chance, this is as anti Australian as Shariah Law, and we must ensure Australia’s future is not put under such threat again. REFERENDUM Federal Members of Parliament voted 134 to 2 to change the Constitution to recognise local government. This in itself is a good reason to treat this change with distaste and concern, for these are the people propping up this ‘Worst Australian Government in History’ and also so greedily voted for the pay increase they grabbed so readily.  A Pay Increase that meant Gillard was actually earning more than the President of the US.  But then they also greedily accepted a CPI increase just 1 month after the pay rise, so they wouldn’t fall behind?? What I am not sure of, but I know the only reason they want Constitutional recognition of Local Governments is that they can see a payout at the end of their Federal Career into this additional layer of Government that is not needed.   It will be a spawning place for Politicians and The ALP will use this whenever possible to force change on Australians and we will find our selves not just paying rates, but we will start being taxed by the Councils once they have the Legislative framework to support this. The author of the below excerpts  is Cheryl Saunders is laureate professor in the University of Melbourne law school. This proposal would increase not only Commonwealth power but executive power, exacerbating what already is too prevalent a tendency for the Commonwealth to regulate through the expenditure of public moneys, using executive schemes. Section 96 enables ”terms and conditions” to be attached to financial assistance (although there has been no mention of this critical detail in most explanations of the proposal so far). It is clear from judicial decisions about the meaning of the section in application to the states that there are effectively no limits on the conditions that can be attached to a grant;  that the Commonwealth can pick and choose between states (or, under this proposal, local government bodies) in making grants; and that use of the section does not attract the constitutional prohibition against ”preference” (s.99). Extensive use of conditional grants is the principal cause of the federal-state duplication of bureaucracy. On the face of the section, the Commonwealth Parliament prescribes the conditions. In practice, however, the Parliament gives a blanket delegation to the government and pays little attention to how it is used. So, under the present Federal Financial Relations Act, the Commonwealth executive is authorised to determine the terms and conditions for all conditional grants to the states, to the tune of at least $24 billion. Tracking these conditions is a challenge, the new Council of Australian Governments website notwithstanding. This is one reason it is so hard to work out what the Gonski funding would actually do. The accountability problems would be significantly worse if the Commonwealth had additional power to make conditional grants to any or all of Australia’s 560 local authorities. This is not constitutional recognition of local government. Constitutional recognition is about dignity. There is nothing dignified about receiving conditional grants under these kinds of arrangements. In their joint press conference, the relevant ministers denied the alternative that has been canvassed: that the referendum proposal is a response to doubts about the scope of the Commonwealth’s spending power after the High Court held that the school chaplains scheme required supporting legislation. There is some bravado in this stance, but they are right to this extent: nothing prevents the Commonwealth from granting money to local government in areas of Commonwealth responsibility and the High Court has not had the occasion to clarify the ambit of Commonwealth power in this regard. Local government has been pressing for constitutional recognition for some time. As a sector, councils want this referendum to proceed and will be disappointed if it fails. But they should not settle for this. One of the problems with the whole debate on constitutional recognition of local government is that it is always conceived as a limited, isolated, constitutional change that expects nothing of local government and sets up unhealthy competition with the states. If constitutional recognition is to mean anything, it should be an integral part of an understanding of the meaning of federal democracy in Australia, which not only recognises but respects the role of each of the three spheres of elected government and holds them accountable for performance. That would be an outcome well worth the $50 million that it is said this referendum will cost.

The only changes we need to our Constitution are changes protecting our rights in Australia.
