Because a democracy is where the people have the say on what government policies will be implemented, oh yeah like the carbon tax? We had no say on that matter even though the clear majority of Australians were fiercely against it, how is that in anyway democratic?

Out of curiosity have you ever thought about bitching less and actually getting off your butt and doing something about it?
Anyone can complain as its the easiest thing to do when their is a problem.. People dont seem to understand that in order to fix something one must engage and push for solutions.
Get involved.....
If your response is going to be it doesnt matter because your vote doesnt count or some other excuse then why bother to even complain at all?
The thing is though I'm not complaining, I'm explaining. Australians just have this attitude of "she'll be alright" and it just irritates me. Do you know Australia is the ONLY Western nation without a constitutional Bill of rights? Do you know how terrifying that is?
But other than that I agree with you something must be done, but what?
Most Australians are very angry over the way their Nation has been Governed in the last 40 years, Since Gough Whitam of the Socilists/Communists Labor Party banned the teaching of our “Australian Constitution” in schools in 1975 we have seen a drop in Constitutional Education, Gough Whitlam Removed the Australian Constitution from all the curriculum and from all our university’s and schools in 1975 thanks to our corrupt and treasonous Labor corporation government politicians / “private Law Society /Banking Corporations”, most Australians now are dumbed down and are political illiterate and are scratching their heads wondering why their Common laws rights are being stripped away.

And I completely agree with you on the gun thing. In 1989 about 60% of Australian households owned a firearm, today that number is about 10%.

Yes Australia should be able to turn itself around, and the first step to that will come in 2013 when elections return, Julia Gillard has done something no other politician ever could. Her severe unpopularity has united Aussies everywhere.

take a look at our Aussie Billionaires like Clive Palmer or Gina Rhinehart and see how they talk, act, dress, etc.
They share the same values as normal Aussies except they have a larger wallet, and I remember one political editor was saying Australia is different from the rest of the Western world, our billionaires aren't fat cat wall street bankers, they are miners who regularly give back to the local communities.

I came to this realisation when Julia Gillard came to power through that coup, if that happenend in anyother country there would be civil war. But in Australia, Aussies just sit back and do nothing!!!
Is there any hope left for us?

G'day CK
G'day again CK,
Are some of the job cuts you are referring to the government job cuts? Because apparently there are 30,000 unneeded atm, and Newman is trying to save money wherever he can.
But to put it this way, politicians are all the same aren't they? Why is Newman any different.
I just received this email, it may show what I am on about. Not to do with CU but the philosophy is the same
..................................................................................
Our family business employs 80+ people.
Depending on contracts we often have to pick up extra workers at short notice.
The biggest problem for our business has been the Liberal Party.
The old Commonwealth Employment Service was brilliant. If you needed staff you just gave them a ring & they had pre-vetted people with the correct skills available, often ready to start next day.
If not available locally, they'd find them from all over Australia for you.
They gave us everything from cleaners to our present Chief Financial Officer.
The Commonwealth Employment Service was created by Labor.
The Liberals hated the CES.
Howards Liberals got in & stuffed the CES deliberately.
They farmed the work the CES did out to their mates with privately run employment agencies & they're nowhere near as good.
There are heaps of employers without the workers they need
& heaps of workers without the jobs they need because of the halfwitted Liberals.
Read about it on wikipedia if you don't believe me.
en.wikipedia.org...
Not only did the Liberals give us workforce problems, they gave us tax problems too.
The Keating govt brought in accelerated depreciation which was a godsend for business like ours which are constantly investing in modern expensive equipment.
What did the Liberals do?
Got rid of accelerated depreciation AND gave us that constant headache the GST.
Since then we've had to defer buying some new equipment which means we deferred employing people.
The Liberals damaged our business, lengthened the dole queues & cost the taxpayer more in unemployment benefits.
The reason why many people are suffering on Newstart & all the other poverty-line social services is the Liberals
taxed people on social security via the GST
made it harder for people to find jobs
made it harder for employers to find the correct workers
taxed businesses for investing in equipment that generates jobs.
Socially irresponsible economic vandals.

Australia wont be right.
We are on a downward spiral Labor and Liberal are 2 wings of the same bird.
I found a group called the Australian Patriots Party and they are building numbers to form a political party.
The site has a lot of info about conspiracies, The Australian Constitution, fiat money system, Agenda 21, Marijuana, the Lima Deceleration etc a lot of things that we already know about, but i am amazed to see a group with a goal of becoming a political party having all this type of info on their site and trying to educate the Australian public.
