At the risk of flogging the proverbial dead horse one too many times, let's start with the fact that all the necessary information required to recognise the lies expressed in this budget was available to the electorate at the 2013 election. Nothing in the above links is new. Getting access to it simply involves looking around on the internet as one should do when choosing a leader. Don't you need to know what you are voting for?
This would appear to be too hard for the majority of people. They are content to swallow what the mainstream media (MSM) chooses to print and this stuff is not printed, you have to question what is presented to you and look beyond it to find the truth and recognise lies for what they are. If you only look at commercial television and (MSM), accepting it as gospel, as most people do, then you can not help but be hoodwinked into voting for things you didn't think you were voting for.
I could rattle on for ever about the MSM being the mouthpiece of the LNP and its political hue being somewhere to the right of Ghengis Khan, but this has already been said. The ABC and SBS remain the last bastion of independent information and their defunding in this fraudulent budget amounts to censorship.
We really need a double disolusion. The problem is and always has been the electability of the ALP.
Let's get this strait. There is no budget emergency. this was always a lie to hoodwink the electorate into electing this swill. There is a medium term problem caused by structural issues leading back to Howard Era tax cuts. These are easily rectified by reinstating the taxes. Instead all we hear about is raising the GST, a regressive impost on those who can least afford it, and will mean hardship for many, while the well off barely notice it. We have a progressive income tax system which is always cut but for ideological reasons is never raised.
Paul Krugman, Economics Nobel Laureate and New York Times columnist, documents the unavoidable result of these ideologically driven austerity measures in Europe. The evidence is plain to the naked eye: generational unemployment representing double-digit proportions. If you want a recession this is the way to get one.
I've said on this blog we will have double-digit unemployment within a year of this government's policies, and could well be at war with Indonesia. This prophesy is well on the way to fulfillment.
I work at the coal face of the market and interact with people every day. I am getting continuous feedback from people who have lost their jobs or had their hours cut back. Almost every week their is a new story of a factory or business shutting down or shedding jobs. The breathtaking dishonesty of Friar Tuck saying new jobs will magically appear the minute he releases Business from the chains of his mythical 'carbon tax' is noteworthy.
Bring on a double disolution.
