"Major parties rattled: Greens" at
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/03/13/2844924.htm
There's Good Government, and there's the farce Australia has been victim to, over the last 222 years.
Greens Australia are the future, because all of us, from young children to the eldest voters, have had the scales removed from our eyes, and now see clearly that corruption, as perpetrated by the main two foreign political parties, does not work.
Also, we can all now see that there is a Genuine, Viable, Profitable and Honest Option to the mis-and-mal-government we've been slaves to.
Indeed, even from within the “hallowed” halls of power and corruption, Australia's own Head of Treasury, MISTER Ken Henry, has “seen the light” as-it-were, and released in his “Henry Tax Review” the FACTS about how a nation of People who actually DO prefer to be HONEST, can have an Honest Government.
Land Tax, the PRIMARY Tax, eliminating most ALL OTHER TAXES, for Government Revenue!
By George! Henry? WELL DONE!
(Or should that be “BY HENRY, GEORGE! EXTREMELY WELL DONE!)
It is for the Greens to embrace this MOST HONEST TAX as “The Future” for Australian government financing, because the other “parties” of Liberal/National and Labor are so deeply embedded in the least honorable business of land speculation, that they will never come clean.
Indeed, there should be no doubt, that the Greens are on the Rise nationally, because the voters are sick and tired of the campaigns of lies and confusion by the main players, and because they now are very well aware that the planet needs Green Governmentation, and,..., that the most Green method of taxation is Land Tax.
It happens that Land Tax is also the most Just, most Honorable and most Work-Rest-and-Play-Friendly method of paying for government.
It is because the main two political parties are so corrupt that they have done their foreign best for a century to bury Land Tax from government policy.
ENOUGH, PUNTER!
Over the last week or two we've heard Liberal leader Abbott mention the Henry Tax Review, with NSW Premier-Corrupt Kristina Keneally echoing apparent concerns as to the ALP federal government not speaking about it this year.
I wonder why? Of course it wasn't because I made mention of the same, only a month ago?
Nah! Ya DREAMIN' Omaxie!
Suck it up polsters!
I can bet Australia that both Abbott and Keneally ONLY brought the Henry Tax Review up because their inhouse polls told them that it would auger well for them in the eyes of the public, mainly because they are both running scared of the soaring Greens popularity, based on the increasing expectation that the Greens will at least vote for the Land Tax.
I haven't followed it like the hungry eagles around here search for food, but the little furore inside the “Wilderness Society” (?) a few weeks ago, has had no further reportage in the media I watch.
Without knowing what the vote-rigging WAS about, I still gesitate-a-huess and put it that the fracas was because a Wisened-up mass of WS members had raided the Society to urge for adoption of pro-Land Tax policies, to whit the very-likely upper-class management tried to change member numbers calling for an AGM.
Or whatever the issue was?
Clearly, going by the ABC news report (see the link, above), the main player political parties ARE RATTLED by all these long-awaited possibilities.
NSW Labor is doomed, and I put it that while it's taken two elections, the Liberal party is also.
With both of them, state and federal, Liberal/National AND LABOR fearing the worst, that Australia might for the first time since the Rum Rebellion (and where was that, Omaxie? Oh? SYDNEY!) get Honest and GOOD Government, and with it the dissolution of the hotbeds of corruption and demonic perversion - the states - AS WELL AS The Australian REPUBLIC, it stands to desperate reason that four Tasmanian ex-Premiers from both sides of the drunks cabinet will collude to denigrate the Greens, and thus try to stop the introduction of Environmentally AND Economically Sound Government!
In as far as having the Greens in government - a MAJORITY government, where they would not have to bow to the demands of the others - well - it's a bit scary, I admit.
And, I reckon that the Greens up to the top Peg of Bob Brown would agree!
It's a mighty leap from where they've been uptil now, and to presume that the Greens have all the necessary experience and general goods to be effective, is really - DREAMING!?
NOT TO MENTION - the speed-brained idiots of the residue parties doing EVERYTHING they could possibly do to thwart ANY success in such a Wonderful Change?
I mentioned a few blog posts ago that Abbott and the Lib/Natables were being blatantly “obstructionist” toward Labor government reforms etc., which to my legal mind means that the Lib/Nats are acting illegally.
But were the Greens to actually WIN government, we can only nightmare about how devious the two mainstream parties would become, and Abbott and his drinking partners would be like O/D-ing amphetamine abusers raiding a chemist/drug-store.
Nevertheless, expectations meeting reality or not, the question must arise as to what will happen if.....
IF...., the Greens shocked the sherry-glasses out of the boffins' hands, and made serious inroads into controlling government decisions, first, the reaction must be expected that the bignoses will be out-of-joint, and will start throwing their knees around. The usual hubristic jerking-off from the high-broughs.
Second, perhaps before the slippery-stuff makes the headlines, there'll be a lot of inhouse calls for that most hated practice, of humility.
As to the sincerity and endurance of Liberal/National/Labor humility - ahem!
But, if the Greens overgrow the bricks-and-mortar mobs, to the point at least of forcing ACTUAL GREEN Government Reforms, the main players WILL HAVE NO CHOICE but to recognise that THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, and that it IS time to “Adjust” the general agenda.
UNIONS INCLUDED, Sharon!
Which for the first time will mean, no more filthy rotten foreign corrupt off-shore agenda, as we have known from the two main player parties. (and Nimbin!)
Perhaps, with “the big game being over” both the hypnotised masses who up till now have unswervingly and blindly supported either the Freemasons or the Catholics - BOTH FOREIGN, and anachronistic and totally irreligious, when-it-comes-down-to-IT, will be able to safely focus on what the Big Mother needs, so that we all may Live Honorable and Honest and Just Lives.
New South Wales has been given a kick up the whatsit lately, and may actually have in-general realised that their culture and behaviour of the last 202 years HAS BEEN a little awry.
Getting them to ADMIT it, is another matter, though, especially in the centre cafes and nightclubs of Sodom and Canbmorah?
It's only when, brutal forces aside, a New Option shows itself, that old cultures die. And only then, when the New Option can be known to have Merit.
The scares of the last two and more years about the Global Financial Meltdown and climate change-warming-apocalypse have shaken a few bad beliefs off our synapses, and, I put-it, that, fed-up, a mass of us ARE not only looking for something more secure than one-million-dollar-mortgages, and MORE TAXES, but a large mass of us are pretty-much ready to take-on the expected, but perhaps not inevitable, challenges.
All the hooplar and hyperbola from either side of the drunks-bar have shown us that in the end, it's all in THEIR favour, and the mass of us, the rest of us, are left AGAIN to slave-on and sweat that banks will not invent another crisis or force the factories to close, etc. Or that the bighouse spoiled brats will not invent another new tax.
The only Honest Tax is the oldest one.
It cannot be denied, and it has been proven over and again, that the environment is fundamental to species survival, short-and-long term. Global AND Local.
It can neither be denied, and it has been proven over and again, (http://www.businesscycles.biz/index.html) that the Best Foundation for a Secure and Healthy Society/Community/Market AND Environment, is the most Honest, Scientific Economic Base.
Land Rent for Government Revenue.
Land Tax. Exactly as proposed by Ken Henry, by George.
Therefore, any Human Being who objects, is NOT a Green, and is a selfish bastard, who does not care if the global environment collapses and takes us all down with it.
Would YOU vote for them?
While Abbott and Keneally drop the “Henry Tax Review” bait in media sound-bites, the rest of their “agenda” will work to bury it again, and again, and again.
Fresh is The Best.
Go the Greens 2010!
