Nationals party votes to remove all subsidies for renewable energy. Sabotage!

Barnaby Joyce: "We have no problem in coal fire power." Photo: Andrew Meares

The greed & corruption within our government knows no bounds. We could have been a leader in alternative power, but due to our corrupt government we have missed the boat. Now we see more sabotage for the sake of money in politicians pockets!!! What will it take for the Australian people to revolt & kick this government & the whole corrupt system out?!

Our farmers are doing it hard with the government prioritising mining over farming, some farmers having committed suicide! Protesters against mining companies on farm land can now be arrested! What we have in Australia is "Big Government" & "Corporatism"! Every day it seems we are losing more human rights, more freedoms. We are seeing more attacks on law abiding firearms owners, WHY?

Wake up Australia! Do something!

More Australian Government Corruption. Making New Laws !!!

Government to rush a bill through Parliament to rip out the laws that allow Australians to challenge dangerous projects.

Scientists confirm by direct observation Carbon Dioxide’s Green House Effect

Scientists confirm by direct observation Carbon Dioxide’s Green House Effect with 11 years study conducted in both Alaska and Oklahoma. The scientists were able to link rising CO2 levels with human activity—primarily the burning of fossil fuels. The observed measurements confirm theoretical model predictions of the greenhouse effect due to human activity.

Democracy or Dictatorship? Is this the thin edge of the wedge?

The problem with Hockey & Abbott may go a lot deeper than just not caring, but it does appear, on the surface at least, that they expect the wealthy to play, whilst the poor work. Hockey's comment about the poor not owning cars, or, not driving very far is beyond rude. Cars are home to some homeless poor, cars get poor people to work, & cars, if they can afford the bloody fuel costs can enable some people a pleasure drive into the country on a weekend.

The budget does appear to be aimed at making the poor work & pay to keep the rich in a position of leisure. How in the hell did a country like ours get the citizens in such a position? No longer do we get a fair go, no longer do we all have equal rights. So what is this? A dictatorship poorly disguised as democracy? We have created a monster to run this country & this countries people, & there appears to be nothing we can lawfully do about it. Who will get in next time? How crook will they be?!!! Is this, for us, the thin edge of the wedge? 

I wonder what it will take to make the people as a whole stand up & say NO? No to mining, no to pollution, no to more rates rises, no to burning fossil fuels instead of using solar, no to denying many people the right to pursue happiness. There has to be a better way of governing/guiding than what we have right now.

End of rant.
