Stop Taxpayer's Money Funding Adani !!!

Adani could get be about to get their its hands on $1 billion dollars of Australian taxpayer money.

Right now the Turnbull Government is preparing to subsidise the destruction of our Reef and climate with a public handout for Adani's rail line to its monstrous Carmichael coal mine.

The government body that could provide Adani with this outrageous taxpayer handout is the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF).

The board of NAIF are considering Adani's application right now and most of the board have extremely close ties to the coal industry. You can bet they'll be under immense pressure from their mates in the coal lobby to make sure Adani get their handout.

Can you contact the board of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility and tell them why you oppose a handout for Adani?

Please Help My Friend Eryn if you can afford to.

This is Eryn. Eryn is a lovely lady, & a family friend that has fallen on hard times through NO fault of her own. Now she is having to raise her daughter on her own, & these are hard times for lower income families in Australia. Please give generously if you can afford to.

We may not be able to save the world, but maybe we can help one person at a time.

"I wasn't always a single mum, but I used to have a beautiful home and I lived with my partner and ran a home business selling hand dyed and hand spun yarns, which my daughter and I would do together, Me as Medicated Merino, and her as The Rainbow Cheetah. But when my partner and I split up, I had to leave everything behind. 

He forced me out of our home, with no where to go, and with my daughter, and I couldn't take any of the house contents except for a few oddments, my spinning wheel, and what could fit in my car. On top of this, his mother stole all my jewelry from amongst my packed belongings while I was trying to arrange storage for my clothes and books, essentially stripping me of what little items of value I had left. Despite my trying to get the police to help me get them back, because she is family, They wouldn't help me. 

Because I couldn't afford to transport my stock with me, except for a few small items, all of my stock was sold off in bulk for less than 1/10 of what I paid for it in the first place to help me pay for fuel to move. And so, my shop was closed, seemingly indefinitely. Now, I work all day, every day to pay our bills on my own, which on its own isn't so bad, except that I never get to seem my daughter anymore. And although I enjoy my work and have a very loving and supportive family, I feel as though I am wasting away creatively, and that I am not really pursuing what I want to be doing with my life. 

Ultimately I want to re-open my shop and be able to work from home so I can take care of it and my daughter and give her the time and attention she deserves from me. 

A yarn business is very labour intensive and the supplies are very expensive. I have estimated that my costs to purchase stock and supplies would be around $8,000. Although the $5000 I am asking for here wouldn't cover all my costs, it would help me with the essentials such as yarn and dye stock. Hopefully starting small will help me to build bigger in the future and make mine and my daughter's dream a reality. 

I thank you in advance for anyone who contributes and if I manage to reach my goal, you have my deepest gratitude".

Australian Citizen Survival.

As I have said before, there are many different survival scenarios. It does not have to be international to create a survival situation. Right now, the Australian citizen is fighting the enemy within, Tony Abbott & the LNP. So let's take a closer look at this person who is running Australia into the ground !!!

During his time in the Howard Government, Tony Abbott was once thrown out of Parliament because he moved in a threatening manner towards the Opposition benches just after Labor's Graham Edwards, a Vietnam Veteran who had lost both his legs during the Vietnam War, had interjected: "You're a disgrace".

When Tony Abbott turned up to court, he had the assistance of a legal team (including a QC) as well as several witnesses.
The case was dismissed.

When asked whether he should apologise for his comment on the ABC's Insiders, Tony Abbott stated: "Barrie, if it would make people feel better if I apologised, I'm always happy to apologise. I don't believe in standing on my dignity."

Personally, I think Tony Abbott has done far worse things since he has been Prime Minister. Right now, Aboriginal communities have had their services cut off & many are being evicted.

Community services have had their funding cut & many have had to close their doors, this at a time when domestic violence is rife in Australia. This will cause more deaths.

Abbott's terrorist fear campaign is aimed at keep citizens scared so he can inflict more control over our lives, more restrictions to our freedom.

Tony Abbott prioritises  Mining over Farming, & he is ruining peoples lives. The mining & fracking is polluting water supplies & taking up valuable farming land.

Tony Abbott prioritises coal mining over alternate energy, he prefers to see the burning of fossil fuels polluting our environment instead of using clean energy such as solar power, wave power, water power & wind power. All of which are readily available in Australia.

Now Abbott is attacking our health service, from now on if he gets his way, health checks & doctors visits will cost us more !!!

The list of Abbott's transgressions & lies are long, & many suspect that he holds his position illegally because he still holds British citizenship, which bars him from becoming Prime Minister of Australia.

Why is Tony Abbott still in office? Basically because the whole political system is corrupt, including the Governor General who could have put an end to this if he had wanted to. 

Labor is little better than the LNP, given full reign they would have us be a republic, where we would have no rights what so ever, & all those past transgressions would be swept under the carpet.

If we are going to survive, if we are going to regain our freedoms & rights, then we need to change our government system, do away with the two party preference, bring in voting for things we need doing, rather than voting for people or parties.

Domestic Violence In Australia At Crisis Point, & Tony Abbott Cuts Funding To Services !!! Just How Low Can A Bloke Get?!

GetUp!

*Trigger warning: discussion of domestic violence*

Domestic violence in Australia has reached crisis point.

In Australia, 1 in 3 women over 15 have experienced violence. On average, a woman is killed by a current or former partner every week.

Tony Abbott has promised to prioritise ending the domestic violence epidemic – but even as he pays lip service to the issue, his government is cutting nearly $300m from crucial frontline services. Support networks gutted. Some closed altogether.

Actions speak louder than words, Mr Abbott. If those affected by domestic violence cannot find safety and support, we have no hope of solving this shocking national problem.

Sign the petition and tell the government our frontline services need to be fully funded: www.getup.org.au/protect-services
