‘Please explain’ what the hell is going on!

by ROGER CROOK – THE past two weeks have made me wonder just what bench mark the average punter uses when the time comes to vote in a general election. 

How much do we know about the people on the ballot, or do we just vote by colour – red, blue or the choice of two greens? If that is so, will Pauline upset the cart? 

The big following for Labor is among the new elite, academics, technocrats, teachers, people with a tertiary education and the well-known group from the leafy suburbs known as the “doctor’s wives”.

Since the general election we, the people who finance it all, have been on the receiving end of arrogance, gross incompetence and bare faced lying from the Albanese Government.

It’s worth remembering one salient fact. No government has any money of its own, it only has our money, which it takes through taxes they impose on us.

SOCIALIST PRACTICE

In Australia, the dominant fiscal policy of the Labor Government is the application of the well-known socialist practice of taking from the poor to give to the rich, known as Reverse Robin Hood Syndrome (RRHS).

I am an aged pensioner and I pay, through my taxes, a child care subsidy to those earning up to $500,000 a year, just so they can go out and earn more and have a bigger SUV for the weekends.

Cynical? Sure. I’m entitled to be cynical because we struggled to raise our children and I believe they are the better for it.

Those thousands of young people who are today paying $600 a week – or more – to rent a two-bedroom unit are subsidising the cost of a battery, so those with solar panels can reduce their power bills.

They are valiantly saving for a deposit on a million-dollar home while paying ever increasing power bills.

This Labor Government is using taxpayer’s money to reward those who vote for them – they are not the people who strive for the “light on the hill”.

Voting patterns in Australia have changed. Those once known as the “working man and woman” are no longer at the heart of the Labor Party.

The big following for Labor is among the new elite, academics, technocrats, teachers, people with a tertiary education and the well-known group from the leafy suburbs known as the “doctor’s wives”.

Many of those in Labor’s new base are what is known as transnationals.

Transnationals, no matter where they were born, hold no real allegiance to any country; they believe in open borders, that people should be allowed to move freely around the world.

They believe the world would be a better place if national borders were blurred through economic, cultural and political activities.

They may well believe that Australia was stolen. Labor, in an attempt to divide the nation, tested their belief in a referendum and the people rejected them.

But that hasn’t stopped the socialists.

Victoria, to all intents and purposes, now has two parliaments – one for the Aboriginal people and one for the rest of us.

In Australia, transnational beliefs have been expressed during the Labor years by an open-door migration policy; by their very behaviour Labor understands and supports transnationalism.

The “understanding” by Labor governments of the serious religious postures taken by migrant ethnic minorities to the established beliefs, culture and way of life in Australia, has contributed to the racial and religious engagements being voiced on our streets.

Transnationals are often the ones who go to Aspen or Vail skiing during the Australian summer and to St Tropez in June to “get away from the cold”. They believe Australia is culturally barren.

SUBSIDISE

Back to RRHS. When these Labor governments, State of federal, subsidise something, all it really means is that another taxpayer somewhere is paying for that subsidy.

The message they send to the taxpayer is that they, the generous government, understand and so they are giving them something for nothing; that they are getting a helping hand from the government!

What a load of rubbish. What they don’t tell is that every dollar they pay in a subsidy is a bribe to stay in power.

Those on struggle street help the rich pay less to stay warm in winter and cool in summer and at the same time take the heat off Albanese and Blackout Bowen and their stupid, ruinous net-zero policy.

Every dollar that is paid in a subsidy is a dollar that is not paid into building new homes, hospitals and aged care sanctuaries. (Sanctuaries, no less, are needed for the old to get away from this mad world.)

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) is an international forum of 38 member countries.

It is headquartered in Paris, founded in 1961; it provides data driven policy analysis, standards and best practices to promote sustainable economic growth, employment and wellbeing.

The OECD has told us that we are the only advanced economy in the world (mind you, calling us advanced is a bit of a stretch) that is suffering from an increase in inflation big enough to cause an interest hike:

  • Real per capita growth has dropped significantly making it the largest decline in the OECD.
  • This has been caused by high inflation, soaring interest payments and high taxation.
  • Real incomes have declined and real wages are 4.8 per cent below pre-pandemic levels.

It is a terrible judgement on nearly four years of Labor mismanagement.

We have a Prime Minister and Treasurer who are telling us everything is fine and if there are any problems with the economy, they are problems inherited from the Morrison Government four years ago.

This Treasurer is incompetent. If he were the CEO of a major corporation and had been employed to fix a problem with the balance sheet, he would already be out on his ear.

But that isn’t going to happen with Dr Chalmers; there is every indication that he is going to continue to be given a free hand with the money the Australian people are forced to give him because the chairman believes he is doing a good job.

INCOMPETENT

And he can always call on the equally incompetent Finance Minister the inimitable (who would want to imitate her?) Katy Gallagher for advice.

Chairman Albanese of course, is behaving like nothing is amiss in the world.

He keeps on grinning and reminding us all of the money, our money, he has spent on us, the “people”.

As we sink he tells us we are wrong and all is well with the world.

As he settles down in The Lodge in the evening to a chef-prepared meal and a bottle of fine wine (paid for by the people) he smiles because he knows that it is the people’s money and his largesse with it, that will ensure he stays in The Lodge for a third term.

Once he has totally wrecked the country and the economy he will retire to his $4.3m mansion by the ocean in central NSW.

He will receive a pension of at least $400,000 a year, for life. Other benefits could amount to another $250,000 per annum.

Which of course we pay for, before we pay our electricity bill – and for day-care for the children of the rich.PC
