05/06/10.
Last week's insulting Israeli military raid on the ship carrying supplies to the needy Palestinian state, is yet another explosive reaction by the extreme right wing of the Jewish sect, and is clearly (to myself), another signal by them, but in fact, I assert, by their masters, their puppet masters of wealthy Britain and Eurape, that moves by any nation outside the Euro-zone, but, and forgive what may appear Australia-centrism, especially Australia, away from the corrupt land-grabbing hold of those Brit-Euro elites, will incite a war.
First, I maintain that Israel was created by those extremely wealthy British and European elites for other purposes than just to secure “sacred ground” for Jews.
Two, Australia remains in their sights as the hottest real estate market for their future.
One belief I have is that they were very interested in breaking the hold of Islam, as strong in the Ottoman Empire uptil the end of the 19th century, on the oil and other reserves across the Middle East.
Also, I say they wanted desperately to capture the booty and the duties and excises which came through the Middle East from the Orient, along the “Spice Route”, the Frankincense Route to the western world. I'm convinced also, that these days, the Frankincense Route carries a large percentage of the heroin, or perhaps still the unrefined opium (though I doubt it, as it's bulkier) from places like Afghanistan and thereabouts. But, the British ocean liner corporation, Pacific and Orient, P&O, has for centuries shipped the opium back to the western world, and, I'd guess, still does.
It seems to me the “Dianne Brimble” case earlier this decade exposed the immoral tenor of those who enjoyed the P&O cruises, with evidence, as I recall, that immorality was encouraged by the company.
Third, of course, the Jews of the Jewish diaspora, from Eurape through the Americas, and even over in the far east and down to Australia, claimed Jerusalem was theirs for all time, mainly because apparently YHVH told Moses (was it?) that HE gave the land there to them.
Zionism, began in earnest in the second half of the 19th century, and was orchestrated and funded by many elites of Europe and Britain.
The Jews of the 19th century were a very strange people, as seen by the rest of the world. It seems that their cultism was being left behind in the modern world's progress. But that doesn't necessarily mean they were dysfunctional, as the evidence is in, these days, as far as I'm concerned, that the modern world's march into materialism and it's ramifications - pollution, war, destruction of much of the natural good of both the planet and of the species, and our less Reverent attitudes, spell dangerously strange behaviours and results.
Although, I find that when a people or a person is persecuted, to the extent the Jews were, for many centuries, there is a strong and debilitating tendency to become fanatical, which usually, when supported across a culture or society, ends in being a psychosis.
This may be behind the tendency of the Zionists of today's Jews to be so extremist.
But as for the wealth awaiting any westerner, on capturing the Holy Ground of Jerusalem, there should be no doubt that deals were done, between the super-wealthy of Britain and Eurape, one being the hyper-rich Cecil Rhodes, behind who followed the Oxford College that names it's elite graduates “Rhodes scholars”, and who stole the squillions in diamonds and other precious thingees from the south of Africa, actually naming what is now Zimbabwe after himself (Rhodesia), and the Jews who rightly gained respect and sympathetic ears around the halls of learning in England.
I'll say again, that I reckon the Jews got the short straw down here on Earth, and that they too, should be allowed to feel secure wherever they settle.
It seems that the modern idea of “nationalism” grew a lot in the halls of those powerful peoples in the 19th century, and that some of it's growth was because that was a powerful idea for Jews and their sympathisers.
Today, in 2010, I think that “nations” as we've come to know them, has to be re-evaluated. Many say that we are a global society now, and that the old borders are irrelevant. Yep! I agree.
But try putting that argument to a Zionist Jew?
At last they've won enough favour from the rest of the world's upper classes, to fund and give military sanction to grabbing the turf of today's Israel, that NO-ONE is gonna take it away from them.
It cannot be seen as other than “psychotic” the way the Jews of Israel treat their neighbours, the Islamic Palestinians as they do?
But who gives the Israelis the most support? Surely, the evidence is IN, enough now to confirm that the elites of Britain and Eurape are themselves suffering either a psychological inbred malady, or actually ARE genetically inbred, to the degree that they do not think aright?
“Old kings” thinking, as I call it.
Humans are capable of many things, and there is profound argument for us keeping stolidly to “Tradition”, when it comes to preservation of the group, the genetic codes, the culture and the habitat.
But it seems to take a strong and very deep-thinking, or “Wise” mind, to hold to Wisdom, and not be derailed, distracted, lured or confused into accepting changes which, in both the long term, and in the light of Reason, are deadly to the whole big thing, be it the planet, or the society, or the species or life on Earth?
However, as some deep-thinking, and Wise Jews have been able to divine the future for a long time, perhaps they can see that this world is not going to endure for a long, long time? Perhaps they, in the upper echelons of Jewish politics and synagogue, see that the world is unwinding fast, and that trying to bring the Human species back onto the Righteous track, where we live in Balance and Harmony with the Cosmos, with the planet and Her Environment, and with our “neighbours”, is a long-lost cause. So, if one can win the power to sustain their own tribe, that they might live in comfort, satiation and security until Armageddon, then so be it, and let the rest struggle on in THEIR delusions?
Perhaps that is why today's Israel is so careless of the well-being of their neighbours?
Is it not clear to the rest of the modern world, that the world is indeed, unravelling, as if in an accelerated state of entropy?
But alas!? I think we can trace our general decline to the influence the Jews have had on the world, at least over the last two, three, five hundred years. But perhaps back for more than two thousand years? Don't forget, Jesus ben Joseph, aka Jesus Christ, was a Jew? And look what his followers have done to the Sacred Mutha Eartha!
Indeed, most of the wars and destruction of Nativist and Balanced Agrarian cultures over the last five hundred years - OOOP!! - two thousand years-plus, if we include the expanisionist rampages of Rome!
But the excesses of war over the last 100 years have in the main been conspired in Brit-Eurape, by Catholics, Theosophists, and Jews?
Last week I posted an article, an e-ssay, about the threat the church poses to Australian Democracy, or the inception of it here.
BOOM, went Israel!?
It's clear that the Christian cults of the world fund and offer all sorts of support to today's Israel. It's therefore clear that were the churches, the western, Christian religious cults, forced, by democratic government legislation to pay their way, and from now lose their “tax-exempt” position, that Australian Christian and Jewish religions could not any longer afford to send financial aid to Israel.
And worse, for the Jews, if the rest of the world saw the legitimacy of an all-inclusive “national land tax”, as recommended in the Henry Tax Review, commissioned by the current ALP government, and chose DEMOCRATICALLY to adopt that specific law (as Denmark did in 1957, for three years), then the illegal state of Israel might well find itself in sticky?
But as last week's Israeli attack against the Humanitarian aid ship shows, their dysfunctional, very nasty, illegal, insulting and totally unnecessary attitude is a further sign that their thinking processes and rationale are most “old kings”. Out-of-date and completely unacceptable today, whether they divine rightly that Armageddon is near or not.
Are the leaders in Israel to blame?
I suggest that the earlier mentioned intentions, of the elites of Britain and Eurape, all inbred and seriously dysfunctional in their thinking processes, and the erroneous and desperate-of-dickheads ideations that a messiah will appear and save them, are what are behind Israel's attack.
Therefore, we have to ask the question, would a majority of Humanity call for corrections to our laws, and in that, to our tax laws, so the apparent need for bigoted, racist and totally unethical acts diminishes to next to nothing, or do we all sit on our frightened and selfish, short-termist arses and let a mentally unstable Israel and it's puppet masters in the elites of the insane cults of Britain and Eurape, threaten Armageddon?
I say it's time we all broke with those relatively recent traditions of corruption of the fundamental laws, and stared-down Israel, Oxford and the death cults of the western world.
Any who say “we live in a democracy” in Australia, or in any other modern nation, are either seriously stupid, deluded, or betrayers being paid by the devil to lie-lie-lie.
Hardly surprising how often that line is heard in our parliaments?
And, what's worse, in our education system!
Education Revolution, in what is taught in LAW, and in ECONOMICS!
Rah rah rah.....
Clearly, only our Collective, Global effort, will enable avoidance of planetary annihilation......
(Apologies for any ROARING gaps in my logic. It's a bit hot up here as well....?)

Federal ALP One Term Government IMF Plan for John Howard Resurrection?
Federal ALP One Term Government IMF Plan for John Howard Resurrection?
by Omaxa bin Eartha
20/02/10.
A wild, speculative guess, yes, but we must ask how an intellectual (sorry Tony) “dolt” like Tony Abbott and his flailing Liberals can be winning popularity against a clearly more Intelligent Australian Labor Party federal Cabinet?
The 2010 election campaign seems not to have begun in earnest yet, even with the laboured (?) attack on the relatively innocent Peter Garrett, by the speech-impeded Mr Abbott.
Accusations and extraordinary demands for Garrett's dumping aside, neither main party are going near election issues.
If life were not so farcical, it would be funny that we've heard NOTHING about Treasury Head, Ken Henry's Tax Review, and his astute conclusion that the BEST option for our immoral taxation system is a National Land Tax?
Going by the 2 media I listen-to/watch, Sky news on Foxtel(-yanothin'!) and ABC Radio, all our political concerns and issues are non-existent, while Tiger Woods, the sex-hungry billionaire golfer, wins first out-of-the-news-gate place on-the-hour, because he releases an extraordinarily stage-managed public apology for putting his groin-balls before his golfballs?
If he wins second place, it's only because some 17 year old has drowned while swimming in a flooded drain!
As the cynic screamed “WHAAAH!?!?!$%^&*”
Unclearly, no matter what our blimbo, yet more-than-average intelligence PM Rudd and Ministers say, the polls lean more toward the opposition?
States-wise, the ALP seems to be falling off the radar of popularity, and, with the ongoing contradictions of a Catholic-Democracy – our most heinous oxymoron, exposure-on-exposure chips away at their only ten years ago assumed ascent.
After the rush back to the so-called “left” of politrix, in the USA and here in 2007, which felt very much like a sanctioned IMF and Club of Roman Illuminati shift into the 21st century, away AT LAST (we cheered!) from their 17th century “old kings” modelling, some weird thing called the “Tea Party” right-wing is winning media attention and, President Obama, the Best thing since the “fire of London” and the “bubonic plague”, is beset with every hurdle and hill to climb, seemingly insurmountable?
As said, the “bored-with-economics” Abbott, even with a fumbling and clearly ill-equipped “Shadow Finance spokesman” Joyce, climbs the ladder from the cellar of political shame and exile, after the tyrannical Howard, and let's not forget “blow-up-the-ref-boats and what-are-Aborigines” Ruddock, and “things-that-batter” Downer and “overpopulate-the-planet” Cost-a-lotto, et al et al?
If the Australian voters really ARE voting each election, according to their investigated interpretations of our political condition, and, with the so-called “left” of politrix murmuring about political reforms which would give the majority of us, for the first time, an equal bat at scoring a chunk of land for our nest and for the kids, yet are telling the polsters that the far-shist right, ex-Howard's coven of demons, are on the rise, then, as a British global survey concluded just last month, we ARE the most sinful nation on Earth.
That-is, if “sin” can be another way of saying how fucking STUPID we are?
Which may be another way of saying how “mentally ill” we are.
“Ill” being the root of all our stupidities perhaps, when we contemplate that “ill”, according to Annandale's Dictionary, is a 'contraction of' “evil”!?
If our traitorous news media, including the, THEIR ABC, the one's who lick the tossles of Rome, as small as they are, Intellectually and in other areas, are incapable of giving the listening/watching public a better class of reportaaaarrrrge, then perhaps THEY should be hung by the necks until dead, instead of the evil mainstream catholic church clergy, and instead of the polls-and-publicity-addicted politicians of Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide, Crawford Texas, etc?
The scene which is seen to be setting itself here, at least in Sydney's north shore, and the high-end bars and press-clubs of Canberra, is where the Libs, probably failing at the 2010 federal election, will take the steam out of the Catholic “we-fabricated-Jesuss” Labor shindig, with the return of the messiah, in the hallowed form of his Baptist lowness, the wicked witch-priest, Johnette Howard.
With the extent of “behind-the-scenes” filth which has fertilised Australia's political dirt for over 202 years, we should not be surprised if they manage to convince us that they have as well..., resurrected Kerry the Goanna Packer, replete with revitalised heroin-importing shipping-and-fishing industries!
Or is it “ecstasy” in this magic age, James?
And am I talking to James PACKER, or James MURDOCH???
Of course, it goes without saying that I should be talking to the newly posited British High Commissioner, Ms Amy whatsit, on the matters of illegal drugs importation, say-what, Ma'ame?
With over 25% of Britain's export income pouring in from IMF whisky, illegal, deadly and most enlightening herbs called Marijuana, Cannabis, Ganga, Weed, and/or Pot, will never be made the profitable and taxable product they/it should be!
And, for the same evil reasons, hemp will never be grown and processed to eliminate filthy fossil-oils and by products, known as plastics.
Then..., we dare to go-to the issue of hyper-expensive products like our telecommunications accessories – cell phones, computers, televisions and the rest.
Yet our tough-talking government authorities who monitor corporate corruption tell us they cannot find cartel behaviour in – petrol retailing – telcos – supermarkets – or water boards?
Anyone for water-boarding, Dick?
Oh! Telstra's CEO has volunteered! FROM SWITZERLANDEN?
Give me a break Australia!
That's almost it, from Omaxa bin News-Chop at
OpenSourceGovernmentPolicy.om
Happy Election Year, Astrayliar!
Talking of liars:
Did Sister Mary MacKillop know anything about the genocide of Gunai Aborigine in the Victorian Alps in the 1890s, actively condoned by the Catholic Scots, to help fabricate a false CATHOLIC messiah from “fresh blood”?
What has her modern-day Twitter-Sister to say about THAT!?!?!?
One went to sleep this week, deluding meself that the IMF was selling 200 tons of gold to repay the Gunai for the ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR TONS OF GOLD they stole from Walhalla in the 1890s. Little wonder St Joeys Convent of Colliingwood acquired some choice cuts of Victoria's real estate!
Hohoho!
Not to mention the descendants of the slaughtering Scots who now are firmly ensconced on ABORIGINE LAND, and who are doing everything to subvert Political-THAT-IS-ECONOMIC PROGRESS in Australia.
One could almost be fooled to think that the IMF was growing a conscience in that sell-off, but let's sit back and watch the gold price and the lesser currencies plummet in the near...,
And be sure the IMF's futures-traders have pre-posited their shares in the stronger fall-back currencies in anticipation of the repercussions from their little metals manoeuvre.....
I expect this will NOT be a good year for Australia, politically-speaking?
But maybe US President Barack Obama's visit will stir our Republican urges?
I bet he's not coming to offer me political sanctuary (the new word for “asylum”!) back in the US of A?
Aye?
Nevertheless..., “WELCOME MISTER PRESIDENT!”
Any spare seats on Airforce One?

Aussie Hospitals Need A Nationwide Community-Run Revolution
Abbott plan needs federal takeover: expert
is the headline for the ABC World Today article at:
http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2010/s2819754.htm
Which is :ELEANOR HALL: But first today - who should run Australia's hospitals? As the Federal Government continues to fend off criticism of its failure to take over the hospital system from the states, the Coalition Leader Tony Abbott says local boards should run hospitals in New South Wales and Queensland.
But one of Australia's leading health administrators says it is not that simple. Professor John Dwyer argues that the only way for the Coalition to turn the management of public hospitals over to local communities would be to launch its own federal takeover.
In Canberra, Alexandra Kirk reports.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: The Prime Minister's own deadline for his big health reform plan has come and gone. Pressing home the point, Tony Abbott's delivered the first instalment of his election year health policy - that within since months of being elected the new federal government would renegotiate healthcare agreements with New South Wales and Queensland requiring them to install a local board for every major public hospital.
The Opposition's health spokesman Peter Dutton says it's a bold plan based on direct action, delivering control back to the people who make the decisions in the best interests of patients.
PETER DUTTON: Now our plan removes bureaucracy. It will put efficiencies and savings into the system so that we can get more doctors and nurses onto the front line and what Labor really hate about this plan is that it is designed to remove the spin doctors and bring in the real doctors.
There is no sign of Kevin Rudd's promised land. He made a promise that he would fix hospitals by mid-2009. We are now into February of 2010 and the Prime Minister hasn't even detailed a plan.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: He's dismissed the criticisms of the two Labor states, saying the more critical the states are the surer he is the Coalition's on the right track.
Not surprisingly, the Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is critical too, describing the Abbott plan as a tiny, scant idea for a major problem. But for now all she can say about the Government's grand reform plan is "watch this space".
NICOLA ROXON: We have made very clear that it will be soon. We want a national comprehensive lasting solution. We have seen no such thing from the Opposition and whilst it might take a little longer than we wish, we would much rather get it right.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Professor John Dwyer has long argued the nation's public health system is crumbling and needs a major overhaul. He says of the dozens of problems besetting the sector, the one the Coalition's unveiled is way down on the priority list.
JOHN DWYER: We have our public hospitals around Australia really struggling with ever increasing numbers of patients, ever increasing number of sicker patients, not sufficient money, not enough staff, internal morale at an all time low and we absolutely have to be concentrating on taking pressures off hospitals and also working out what role in the modern system each hospital should be playing.
Now these things are infinitely more important than the governance issue which I had no objection to hospitals having community input into their governance etc but that is way down the track.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Professor Dwyer founded the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance. A former head of medicine at the Prince of Wales Hospital, now emeritus professor of medicine at the University of New South Wales.
JOHN DWYER: We need national policy. Most of us are advocating to Mr Rudd and Minister Roxon that we need definitely at the end of this reform process that the current Government is looking at, we need one set of brains with one pile of money running the health system and we want to nationalise our approach and get away from this wretched jurisdictional mess we've got with states running hospitals and the Commonwealth paying the bills for primary care and drugs etc.
So it should be a national program but you know, inherent in what Mr Abbott is saying is that he would be taking over at the federal level the running of our hospitals otherwise he wouldn't have the authority to be imposing this structure on hospitals currently run by the states. So that all needs to be worked out by what he means by that.
And the other major issue is of course is, in a modern system we want a network of hospitals all with a defined role, helping each other. Hospitals no longer should operate as islands in an ocean of health care. When you had boards before, naturally, the local board members wanted their hospital to be the Taj Mahal and have everything that opens and shuts and we simply can't afford to have all hospitals doing all things for all peoples.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: The Australian Medical Association says that local management boards are a good idea but only part of the solution. Don't you think doctors do want more power when it comes to decision making in hospitals?
JOHN DWYER: Absolutely. I mean there is no question but one of the major problems at the moment is that the fiscal pressures have seen what we call clinician manager disconnect become a real problem in our hospitals. Because the budget is so tight, doctors and nurses and allied health professionals are being excluded more and more from the decision making about their local hospital.
But without, it is going to be a very hollow victory saying, you know, you are going to be part of a board if the hospital is still broke as 3 per cent more sick patients coming in the door every year can't find the staff to look after those patients and is being asked to care for people that it doesn't have the skills to look after.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: You've had a lot to do with Tony Abbott as health minister over the years. You don't think he understands the problems besetting the public hospital system well?
JOHN DWYER: Well, he didn't when he was a health minister. I mean it is a bit rich for Tony Abbott who, when many of us who were trying to talk to him as health minister about healthcare reform found that he was totally unreceptive to any idea of major reform of the health care system in Australia.
Just tinkering at the margins is all we need he would say and wouldn't use the term reform but of course, the truth is that we need radical reform of the Australian health care system to sustain it to make it more equitable and to really swing it around, put the emphasis on prevention and give us the win-win situation of having a healthier older population and less dependence on hospitals.
I hope he has suddenly learned his lesson and now that he is in Opposition, changed his mind about all this. Whoever is leading us in this has to realise that the Australian healthcare system is in need of a major urgent overhaul from top to bottom.
ELEANOR HALL: That is Professor of Medicine John Dwyer from the University of New South Wales ending that report by Alexandra Kirk.
MY COMMENTS on their contact us web link:
Like Howard's Aborigine intervention, Abbott has plagiarized another "Max Earth" recommendation, with the concept of Local Communities operating hospitals.
Hohum... Another botched interpretation however....
But yes, as someone else said, it has to be federally implemented, and can only work if the national taxation system is simplified and also redirected to local revenue bases, a la the national land tax, of Ken Henry's Review.
States are mafia-run, decrepit, colonialist models.
Passed time Australia progressed beyond 3-tiers of government, run in-the-main by off-shore multinational corporations, a la the IMF.
But all current levels of government here are frighteningly incompetent, mired in landlord/warlord dynastic mal-adaptations of what government is about, so none of our present "parties" can solve or improve on the medical and hospital tragedies of the day.
Deliberate inefficiency profits the warlords and landlords, as is seen in our exorbitant land and housing prices.
"The masses be damned!" is their motto...

ALEXANDRA KIRK: He's dismissed the criticisms of the two Labor states, saying the more critical the states are the surer he is the Coalition's on the right track.
Not surprisingly, the Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is critical too, describing the Abbott plan as a tiny, scant idea for a major problem. But for now all she can say about the Government's grand reform plan is "watch this space".
NICOLA ROXON: We have made very clear that it will be soon. We want a national comprehensive lasting solution. We have seen no such thing from the Opposition and whilst it might take a little longer than we wish, we would much rather get it right.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Professor John Dwyer has long argued the nation's public health system is crumbling and needs a major overhaul. He says of the dozens of problems besetting the sector, the one the Coalition's unveiled is way down on the priority list.
JOHN DWYER: We have our public hospitals around Australia really struggling with ever increasing numbers of patients, ever increasing number of sicker patients, not sufficient money, not enough staff, internal morale at an all time low and we absolutely have to be concentrating on taking pressures off hospitals and also working out what role in the modern system each hospital should be playing.
Now these things are infinitely more important than the governance issue which I had no objection to hospitals having community input into their governance etc but that is way down the track.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Professor Dwyer founded the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance. A former head of medicine at the Prince of Wales Hospital, now emeritus professor of medicine at the University of New South Wales.
JOHN DWYER: We need national policy. Most of us are advocating to Mr Rudd and Minister Roxon that we need definitely at the end of this reform process that the current Government is looking at, we need one set of brains with one pile of money running the health system and we want to nationalise our approach and get away from this wretched jurisdictional mess we've got with states running hospitals and the Commonwealth paying the bills for primary care and drugs etc.
So it should be a national program but you know, inherent in what Mr Abbott is saying is that he would be taking over at the federal level the running of our hospitals otherwise he wouldn't have the authority to be imposing this structure on hospitals currently run by the states. So that all needs to be worked out by what he means by that.
And the other major issue is of course is, in a modern system we want a network of hospitals all with a defined role, helping each other. Hospitals no longer should operate as islands in an ocean of health care. When you had boards before, naturally, the local board members wanted their hospital to be the Taj Mahal and have everything that opens and shuts and we simply can't afford to have all hospitals doing all things for all peoples.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: The Australian Medical Association says that local management boards are a good idea but only part of the solution. Don't you think doctors do want more power when it comes to decision making in hospitals?
JOHN DWYER: Absolutely. I mean there is no question but one of the major problems at the moment is that the fiscal pressures have seen what we call clinician manager disconnect become a real problem in our hospitals. Because the budget is so tight, doctors and nurses and allied health professionals are being excluded more and more from the decision making about their local hospital.
But without, it is going to be a very hollow victory saying, you know, you are going to be part of a board if the hospital is still broke as 3 per cent more sick patients coming in the door every year can't find the staff to look after those patients and is being asked to care for people that it doesn't have the skills to look after.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: You've had a lot to do with Tony Abbott as health minister over the years. You don't think he understands the problems besetting the public hospital system well?
JOHN DWYER: Well, he didn't when he was a health minister. I mean it is a bit rich for Tony Abbott who, when many of us who were trying to talk to him as health minister about healthcare reform found that he was totally unreceptive to any idea of major reform of the health care system in Australia.
Just tinkering at the margins is all we need he would say and wouldn't use the term reform but of course, the truth is that we need radical reform of the Australian health care system to sustain it to make it more equitable and to really swing it around, put the emphasis on prevention and give us the win-win situation of having a healthier older population and less dependence on hospitals.
I hope he has suddenly learned his lesson and now that he is in Opposition, changed his mind about all this. Whoever is leading us in this has to realise that the Australian healthcare system is in need of a major urgent overhaul from top to bottom.
ELEANOR HALL: That is Professor of Medicine John Dwyer from the University of New South Wales ending that report by Alexandra Kirk.
MY COMMENTS on their contact us web link:
Like Howard's Aborigine intervention, Abbott has plagiarized another "Max Earth" recommendation, with the concept of Local Communities operating hospitals.
Hohum... Another botched interpretation however....
But yes, as someone else said, it has to be federally implemented, and can only work if the national taxation system is simplified and also redirected to local revenue bases, a la the national land tax, of Ken Henry's Review.
States are mafia-run, decrepit, colonialist models.
Passed time Australia progressed beyond 3-tiers of government, run in-the-main by off-shore multinational corporations, a la the IMF.
But all current levels of government here are frighteningly incompetent, mired in landlord/warlord dynastic mal-adaptations of what government is about, so none of our present "parties" can solve or improve on the medical and hospital tragedies of the day.
Deliberate inefficiency profits the warlords and landlords, as is seen in our exorbitant land and housing prices.
"The masses be damned!" is their motto...
