Advisors, not the people they represent, and aren’t even aware of the real effects of their decisions.

 

We believe the underlying core problem that fuels the crime is the absence of effective border protection.  The unlimited supply of drugs began when Customs was turned from law enforcement to be a clerical organization in the restructuring of 1980, in turn that has fueled and funded criminal empires.  In truth, the solution lies in the restructuring for effectiveness of border protection, not the size of its budget.

 

We need an alternative.  The Voice of The People have an alternative – Independents.  Instead of tossing back and forth between two parties of whom neither is going to change these things, it is clearly time for independents to replace political parties who have their slush funds as a priority and their donors the multi nationals as their masters.

The Australian Magazine – The plagues on our nation

 

Us city folk have to feel for the plagues the country Australian farmers have to face, and we can thank Mike Safe for a story that takes us there to experience the stories, whether they are embellished or true.

 

I can remember the years of Native title claims, drought, floods, deregulation of the dairy industry, the threat to sell off to private companies Australia’s Quarantine service, the plagues of Olympic tourists, and now the locusts.  I now enjoy city life, but ask what next year?

 

I predict the plagues will continue with the suffering of more breeds of opportunists in the federal election, with plagues of politicians which will inevitably be followed by the years
