"The One Thing You Need to Succeed in This Business Is Sincerity - Once You Learn to Fake That, You've Got It Made!"

 Article by Rossleighbrisbane



My opinion :The Abbott Government believe that if we're earning good reasonable
wages we're actually depriving Corporations from earning more profit so
that they can employ more people earning small wages.
They're the
Apex of oppression and incompetence. They want to have more poor people
so that they can manipulate them into believing they're the saviours of
Australia.They don't like educated people because they can think and
reason and realise how evil their Agenda is and how much they lie to us.

A Clever Strategy

A Clever Strategy

Article by John Kelly



To understand what is going on here, we need to consider an interesting
theory, namely that the Liberal Party exists primarily to perpetuate its
own existence. That’s it! Just consider for a moment that everything
the liberals do is influenced by this one principle. They also, I
believe, have strong views on who should receive welfare. Is it just for
the poor, the ill, and the disadvantaged? Or is it for the wealthy as
well? They would hotly deny such a self-serving motive but I will leave
it up to the readers to draw their own conclusions after taking a closer
look at Kevin Andrews’ proposed welfare review. To gauge whether or not
I’m right, let us examine this latest “crackdown” a little closer and
see where it takes us.

Excerpt from Article by Victoria Rollison

"It was immediately clear that the editor of that Liberal fanzine had wet their pants with delight at the fact that their government was once again putting the boot into the most disadvantaged in the community, the infirm and the mentally ill, through savage changes to the Disability Support Pension. As usual, those over inflated egos that constitute the editorial core of that Murdoch owned conservative herald are quick to apply ‘wholesale smears over segments of the community. In this instance, to underscore and reinforce media engineered pre-conceptions about people who receive fortnightly DSP assistance’, it was a bitter exposition in which their tone and purpose was loud and clear. Their primary objective was to try and gather support for their government, by crafting the illusion that it was acting in the national interest."

Has The ABC Gone The Full-Teaparty In Attacking Workers and their Unions?

Has The ABC Gone The Full-Teaparty In Attacking Workers and their Unions?



The following twitter exchange between Leigh Sales of ABC’s 7:30
Report and Dave Noonan the CFMEU Construction & General National
Secretary about recent media allegations of corruption in the building
industry, which somehow automatically becomes a story about unions.



This conversation is odd, not just for the topic, but for the fact it
is so public. Was Sales going for a social media “gotcha” because she
had been denied a live interview “gotcha”? Was this public bullying – give us the interview or we have to replace you with a story on “union corruption”?

The Abbott Pretorian Guard at The Australian

The Abbott Pretorian Guard at The Australian

 Article by Matthew Donovan

The Abbott Pretorian Guard at The Australian – and all other Murdoch newspapers – have closed ranks around their man in The Lodge. A man under siege from all sides.


He accrues baggage every single time he opens his mouth. The outrage on social media is palpable.


The Australian likes to conveniently disregard Twitter as being “Left biased”.


The same can’t be said for Facebook with its much larger user base.


Facebook is also lighting up with fury over the regressive agenda of the Coalition.


The nation wide community organised rally movement March in March has been gathering momentum almost entirely on Facebook.



My opinion :

There's nothing worse than a
dimwitted nasty Prime Minister let loose. Tony Abbott is eroding and
destroying Australia's social fabric and future.

My opinion is :

The lack of humanity of all
those commissions formed by the Abbott Government. They act as if people

from the people of Australia who voted for them or against them
forgetting that they're to represent us to govern for all of us not just
a mere few.

This Grand Mediocrity

This Grand Mediocrity

 Article by John Kelly



The limited intellectual capacity of our Prime Minister or should we say our Clayton Prime Minister



"Our present government is so ideologically opposed to anything that
remotely resembles a balance between growth and social equality that
they cannot see how a market driven economy performs far more
effectively with well paid, highly skilled, highly educated workers
receiving benefits and incentives. Their attitude to social equality
suggests they think it is a by-product of a market driven economy, not a
partner with it. They only know how to do this when they have a barrel
load of money, from sources they weren’t expecting, as happened when
John Howard and Peter Costello were in control. When times are tough
they don’t know how to manage and always default to cutting spending in
the areas of social welfare. Listening (so painfully) to Tony Abbott’s
speech at Davos last week only served to confirm that."

Article by Kaye Lee

"Tony Abbott’s brief sojourn in Davos left most of us cringing and somewhat bemused as to the purpose of his journey.  He met with some Australian big business leaders and delivered a speech that had nothing to do with the stated priorities of the forum – the problem of increasing income inequality and the economics of climate change.  Le Figaro noted Abbott’s address as a footnote, quoting him as calling for more free trade, an idea that was a long way from the agenda – très loin de la thématique – of earlier gatherings.  In fact, Tony left before any of these meetings took place."

A Dangerous Game

A Dangerous Game

Article by John Kelly

" Historically, regional conflicts start as a reaction to a perceived
threat. They are usually accidental and result from misunderstandings
that develop and escalate between two forces mobilised and facing off
against each other, each believing they have a responsibility to protect
their national interests. In most cases common sense applies and the
commanders of each force will sort out their differences and at the end
of the day, each will go their separate ways, with neither having to
lose face. But, occasionally things do get out of hand."






my opinion :Abbott Government is playing a highly dangerous game with Indonesia and
is placing the security of the region in peril due to his extreme
Arrogance

ABBOTT IS DESTROYING WORLD HERITAGE IN TASMANIA



Media Release
23/01/2014

Wrecking ball to Tasmania’s World Heritage is global embarrassment

Confirmation today from Environment Minister Greg Hunt that the Abbott government is acting on its threat to destroy Tasmania’s globally recognised World Heritage area will also destroy Australia’s international standing and open up divisions in the Tasmanian community.

“The world was shocked when the Taliban bombed Afghanistan’s World Heritage recognised Buddha statues and will be again when it hears of Tony Abbott’s attempts to cut down Tasmania’s World Heritage forests,” Greens Leader Senator Milne said.

“Our World Heritage area is a drawcard for international and local tourists. Tony Abbott’s lack of respect for what makes us unique is a global embarrassment.

“It beggars belief that Prime Minister Tony Abbott is inviting international condemnation and dividing Tasmania simply to give into the pro-logging ideology of Senator Eric Abetz and the Tasmanian Liberals.

“The Greens will do everything in our power to prevent the environmental vandalism of the Abbott government and will work internationally to thwart this attack on our forests.

“If the Liberals have their way, the world will lose ancient forests but Tasmania will suffer the most because its clean, green image based on environmental values will be tarnished. The flow on effect will not only be on tourism but also the food and beverage sector and ironically the timber industry itself.

“Every market for timber in the world will know that product from Tasmania is compromised because of the government’s destruction of formerly World Heritage listed ancient forests.”

This Basket Case of Coalition Blunders

This Basket Case of Coalition Blunders

Article by John Kelly



my opinion:

Amazingly the Abbott Government has managed to stuff up Australia in a very short period of time. Financially Abbott has destroyed all the good work that Labor did in saving Australia from the Global Financial Crisis, a fact which was muddled by Murdoch Media in partnership with the Coalition to such an extent that Australian voters were duped in a grandiose manner and voted out a Political Party which had done so many good things for all Australians and steered the Economy out of the recession incredibly well.
Now we're all paying the consequences of having one of the most absurdly incompetent and reactionary Government in the history of Australia.. Abbott and Co didn't stop messing up Australia but also our international reputation is in tatters and will take a long time to convince our overseas friends that Abbott  and Co was a horrible aberration and we will restore Australia's standing in the world.

Abbott: Open For Business — And Multinational Lawsuits

Abbott: Open For Business — And Multinational Lawsuits

We must stop the Abbott Government signing the TPP agreement with US and others which would place Australia under their thumb so to speak.



Labor
rejected it outright. Even the Howard government issued America with a
rare “no” over the legislation, declaring it contrary to national
interests. But now the Abbott Coalition is flirting with a trade
agreement that would allow companies, acting increasingly in secret, to
sue Australia if they don’t like its regulations.

Scott Info Pad Morrison the laughing stock of the world.

Agus Barnas, a spokesman for the office of the chief security minister, said on Friday that Indonesia would intensify patrols along its border in the Timor Sea. Another frigate will be added to the existing armada there later this month, he said.
“The government of Indonesia deplores and rejects the violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity by Australian vessels,” he said, reading a statement after a meeting on Friday between his office, the Foreign Ministry, the National Police and the Indonesian Military (TNI).
“The government of Indonesia underlines that any such violations … constitute a serious matter for the bilateral relations of the two countries.”
Agus said the Indonesian Navy already knew of the territorial breach by after a radar alert originating in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, earlier in the week.
“We need to boost our defense there and intensify our patrols to prevent further intrusions,” he said.
Indonesia also demanded formal clarification for the infringements through diplomatic channels and assurances that such incidents would not be repeated.
Jakarta has also demanded a halt to Australia’s military-led “Operation Sovereign Borders” until assurances are received that there will not be a repeat of such violations.

excerpt from the Article :
Like many of the hundreds of Australians who have rushed online to review The Conservative Revolution, I cannot admit to having read it. Unlike them, however, I have enjoyed spending the funds provided by the cabal of multinational mining companies, merchant banks and tax-exempt mega-churches that have endorsed and possibly funded its publication and my latest beachfront property.
While never having had the pleasure of meeting the senator, who must be very careful about his public movements given the insensate rage he seems to inspire in the lower orders when about in public, I can assure you that I like the cut of his jib. One only has to gaze into the fathomless depths of his black eyes to know that here is a fellow ready to light a fire under the feet of a complacent nation, or to use a white-hot poker on those unprotected feet, or even a handy pair of pliers, should lighting a fire prove inconvenient because of ill-conceived environment legislation.

When You Have Advisers Like Newman Why Would You Need Scientists?
Article by John Lord

The Articles includes this letter from Labor MP Shayne Newmann.

THE HON SHAYNE NEUMANN MP
ACTING SHADOW MINISTER FOR ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER
MEMBER FOR BLAIR

MEDIA RELEASE
TONY ABBOTT’S ADVISOR EMBARRASSING AUSTRALIA
Tony Abbott’s chief business advisor Maurice Newman has embarrassed Australia by calling the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ‘deceitful and dishonest’ in an opinion piece published in today’s The Australian.
“These extraordinary comments from one of Tony Abbott’s closest advisors prove the Coalition is not serious about taking action on climate change and does not accept the overwhelming evidence of a changing climate,” Acting Shadow Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water Shayne Neumann said.
“The Prime Minister must ask Mr Newman to withdraw his comments which damage Australia’s relationships with its trading partners, all of whom accept that climate change is real and are taking steps to reduce carbon pollution.”
“Australia is now a laughing stock for being the first country to unravel effective climate change policy, going backwards while the rest of the world is taking steps forward,” Mr Neumann said.
Maurice Newman also said the ‘scientific delusion, the religion behind the climate crusade, is crumbling’ and that 97 per cent of the world’s scientists who have revealed evidence of a warming climate and its effects were ‘wrong’.
“I’m not sure what qualifies Mr Newman to make such outrageous claims. He is not a scientist.
“The worst part about Mr Newman’s ignorant comments is that he’s only voicing what we know Tony Abbott thinks about climate change.
“The Prime Minister is not serious about taking action on climate change, which is why he and Greg Hunt have not made any attempt to develop effective climate change policy.”
Labor knows climate change is real and knows the time to take action is now. It seems Tony Abbott, Greg Hunt and Mr Newman are the only ones who don’t know that.

Prof Plimer is an experienced mining geologist and a professor of mining geology at the University of Adelaide. He currently serves on the board of stock exchange-listed miners Ivanhoe Australia and Silver City Mines, and has held previous board roles at CBH Mining and a number of other Australian mining companies.  The companies he is involved with mine minerals including gold, zinc, copper and uranium, in Australia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
According to disclosures made to the Australians Securities and Investments Commission, Professor Plimer was appointed by Gina Rinehart to the boards of Roy Hill Holdings and Queensland Coal Investments on January 25 2012.  Roy Hill is key to Mrs Rinehart’s ambitions to challenge the big three Pilbara iron ore players in her own right. The company is the manager of the Roy Hill mine, which plans to export 55 million tonnes of iron ore a year through Port Hedland when it is up and running at full capacity.

"In 1903 the early sire of the modern conservatives, the Protectionist Party were denouncing the construction of the Trans-Australian Railway that would connect the eastern states to Western Australia.
The rail connection was a major incentive given to WA to join the Federation in 1901, as at the time the only way to get anywhere from Perth was by a long boat journey. Protectionist Senator James Styles complained to the parliament that the works would draw resources away from NSW and QLD, and that traffic simply did not justify the expense.
It wasn’t until 1911 that an ALP government got the project in motion. When the two sides of the nation were finally connected in 1917, the railway revolutionised internal trade and freight carriage with travel now taking days instead of weeks."

While there is bipartisan support for the NDIS, the program is forecast to cost $22 billion in its first full year of operation, scheduled for 2019-20. The Coalition will examine how to rein in that cost by making it tightly targeted and run with a minimum of bureaucracy.
Education cuts of more than $1.5 billion include dumping the trades training centre program and slashing before- and after-school care by $450 million.
Indigenous Legal Aid faces a cut of $43 million.
There are also cuts of $10 million from the Children's Medical Research Institute; $12 million from the Millennium Institute, one of the largest medical research institutes in Australia working on cancer and leukaemia research; and $15.1 million from the cancer care co-ordinators program.

All that good work was covered by the tons of deceptive statements continuously issued by Abbott and Murdoch.

They understand that the government is untrustworthy. They understand that the government has got no policies in a whole range of areas.

Abbott and Murdoch: All out damage control

Abbott and Murdoch: All out damage control

"

5. Distorting the daily news

Broken promises were a constant theme during the reign of PM Julia Gillard. Yet there were very actually very few. Just one – no carbon tax – was used effectively to destroy her credibility.
Abbott, in fact, broke 13 commitments in his first 50 days and another three since. The Murdoch media are suppressing this. On Tuesday, Dennis Shanahan in The Australian congratulated Abbott and Education Minister Christopher Pyne on their ‘political decision to neutralise education funding’.
Note the weasel wording here:
‘Abbott risked being tagged as someone who did not keep his promises and slipping into a damaging parallel with Julia Gillard and the carbon tax. A perception framed before Christmas would last for the electoral cycle.’
The Australian is desperate to distort the record to keep readers ignorant of the actual number of broken promises — sixteen and counting."

- Labor’s Gonski reforms would have delivered $14.65 billion in additional funding for schools over 6 years, but Tony Abbott will now commit to only a fraction of the funding over just 4 years.
– States will no longer be required to make funding co-contributions of $1 for every $2 dollars of federal money, or index their funding by 3 per cent.
– Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne plan to amend Labor’s legislation so they can give ALL States ‘no strings’ funding deals – walking away from the needs-based loadings the Gonski report said were crucial to us closing the education equity gap, and walking away from funding being linked to improved teacher standards, student outcomes and increased transparency and accountability.
– The Coalition’s pledge that “you can vote Liberal or Labor and you’ll get exactly the same amount of funding for your school” is now nothing but a farce.

SOME THOUGHTS ON ADM/GRAINCORP

SOME THOUGHTS ON ADM/GRAINCORP

 "Sadly, Joe Hockey's decision appears to have been made more with an eye on the opinion polls than the national interest or the interests of growers. It's an announcement which will reverberate for many years to come, not just in grains but in agriculture more generally."

CLIMATE CHANGE vs THE APATHY AND IGNORANCE OF A CLAYTON GOVERNMENT.

CLIMATE CHANGE vs THE APATHY AND IGNORANCE OF A CLAYTON GOVERNMENT.

The IPCC clearly stated that as time passes it will be more difficult to stop the rapid deterioration of the World climate situation until we get to a point of no return.

Government of ‘no surprises’ rewrites history

Government of ‘no surprises’ rewrites history

A government with no honour whose central policy is LYING.
"Two months after being sworn in, the Abbott government is now at war with conservative states, the Senate and parents across the country. Not only is the politics of education calamitous, the government risks a High Court challenge to any attempt to walk away from education funding agreements with the states, being blocked in the Senate, and has even raised questions of sovereign risk.

Leadership Institute

Leadership Institute
http://leftinlimbo.com/2013/11/18/the-new-politics-of-the-right/

"Over the last few years at least two prominent Liberals have visited the U.S. to chat with conservative forces there.  In 2010, Finance Minister Mathias Cormann met with various conservative and Tea Party groups.  In the mid 2000s, Senator Corey Bernardi paid a visit to the Leadership Institute, a conservative “training” organization.  Their mission statement, in part, reads:
The Leadership Institute’s mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of conservative activists and leaders in the public policy process.
To accomplish this, the Institute identifies, recruits, trains, and places conservatives in government, politics, and the media.
Inspired by their apparent greatness and depth of vision, Bernardi set up his own Australian version, the Conservative Leadership Foundation.  Their self-description, in part, reads:
The CLF assists those individuals who are prepared to be a public voice for the traditionalist conservative perspective to take leadership roles in business, the media, academia, political and community organisations"

Abbott on torture: "Difficult things happen"




It's inconceivable that someone representing our Country be so ignoramus. Australia's reputation is at the moment the lowest it's ever been.
We must make sure that this is indeed a "one term Tony" . It will take decades to recover from this Conservative government, but recover we will.

Live: Less time for debate as Abbott moves against carbon tax

Live: Less time for debate as Abbott moves against carbon tax

Abbott and Co made a atrocious display of bullying the Opposition, and gagging anyone who speaks against them and of course not answering questions.
When someone asked a question they responded with their well rehearsed mantras and avoiding answering the question.
It has become a totalitarian government when they do not respect Democracy, the Opposition and thus disrespecting the Australian People.
I think we cannot have Democracy this way and we should ask the Governor General to sack this Government and hold new elections.

This free trade agreement conceals a lot of unsavoury and dangerous items. For example if you don't like Genetically modified food you're stuffed. Here comes Monsanto with their big lawyers and killer products.
And that's just for starters.
Abbott and co are bowing to their Master Murdoch and the World Magnates and their big plan to create a world where they can operate with impunity regardless of how much death and destruction they cause to this planet's inhabitants and the planet itself.

Tony Abbott's new direct action sceptics
A Fairfax Media survey of 35 prominent university and business economists found only two believed direct action was the better way to limit Australia's greenhouse gas emissions. Thirty - or 86 per cent - favoured the existing carbon price scheme. Three rejected both schemes.

The IPA was influential in the formation of the Liberal Party. There is no doubt about its ultra conservative orientation, and its support of the Liberal Party.

It says it is ”funded by individual memberships and subscriptions, as well as philanthropic and corporate donors.” We know Rupert Murdoch is a large donor, as was his father, but outsiders can only guess whom the others are. We are told that ‘big business’, and perhaps ‘big tobacco’ is among them, but the list is kept under wraps.

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is the latest corporate-driven agenda in what is commonly called a “free trade agreement,” but which really amounts to  ‘cosmopolitical corporate consolidation’: large corporations dictating and directing the policies of states – both nationally and internationally – into constructing structures which facilitate regional and global consolidation of financial, economic, and political power into the hands of relatively few large corporations.

Bilderberg Objectives
The Group’s grand design is for “a One World Government (World Company) with a single, global marketplace, policed by one world army, and financially regulated by one ‘World (Central) Bank’ using one global currency.” Their “wish list” includes:
– “one international identify (observing) one set of universal values;”
– centralized control of world populations by “mind control;” in other words, controlling world public opinion;
– a New World Order with no middle class, only “rulers and servants (serfs),” and, of course, no democracy;
– “a zero-growth society” without prosperity or progress, only greater wealth and power for the rulers;
– manufactured crises and perpetual wars;
– absolute control of education to program the public mind and train those chosen for various roles;
– “centralized control of all foreign and domestic policies;” one size fits all globally;
– using the UN as a de facto world government imposing a UN tax on “world citizens;”
– expanding NAFTA and WTO globally;
– making NATO a world military;
– imposing a universal legal system; and
– a global “welfare state where obedient slaves will be rewarded and non-conformists targeted for extermination.”

THE CONS OF HAVING THE LIBERALS IN GOVERNMENT





Tony  Abbott & co. continue to ignore  Australians , not dignifying themselves to pay attention to our plight and well being as well as the consequences of Climate Change to out country and the world.
They try hard to dumb down the population by continuously uttering lies whose sole purpose is to hide their insidious plans. Plans which have one thing only in purpose to create an environment where they can easily manipulate the masses to serve their will .
They possess a self belief of being the masters of Australia by right of birth and purposely ignore the consequences to us by their actions.
All of this being is being supported by the Dark Lord of Media Rupert Murdoch and the the think tank the IPA (Institute of Public Affairs) one of the many think tanks worldwide which were created by the powerful magnates to give them the right environment  to manipulate the masses and act freely.
One of the things they do want is to reduce the middles classes because they believe they're becoming too educated and prone to find out what they are doing and expose them.

Coming back to Tony Abbott, it is a fact that the international community think that the current Australian Government has no understanding of the importance of Climate change.
 
Abbott and Co continue with their Three Monkeys central policy :" See nothing, hear nothing say nothing". The extent of their arrogance is destroying Australia's reputation and contributing to the destruction of our Country and our Planet.
Abbott and Co ( and his mentor Rupert Murdoch) continue merrily on the path of 
" The Void" pretending that they know what they're doing and continuously uttering lies that flatter them and denigrate the Labor Party and the values of fair go for all Australians.
