Please read and understand that this post is not some demented crazy, or a business owner wordsmithing for a Public Relation boost to their business. This is a hertfelt plea from a decent citizen, desiring and deserving better then what we, they, you and me, are getting.

If you agree we deserve better, put aside any fear of ridicule from those who do not see the big picture and contribute to the motin. Share the hell out of this and other posts, sign petitions calling the government to do the right thing, and vote out of office the miscreants until we again have a country of which we can be proud!
I am crafting a piece about the ideal purpose and functions of a government.

We used to be a wonderful caring country.
I was proud to be Australian.
I always strived to be kind and help people.
I felt I was a good ambassador for our country when travelling overseas.
This last year, I have watched this country go down the gurgler. ( It’s actually been happening for a while but I have been too complacent to see it.)
We the public have always felt safe in the knowledge that our government was looking after us.
This has created a kind of apathy in us.
We took our eye off the ball and now we are paying for it.
I hate what self righteous and self serving politicians are doing to this country!
They’re not thinking of the Australian people.
They’re only interested in lining their own and their mates pockets (American style).
They are creating division between us.
Pitting different cultures, religions and socioeconomic groups against each other instead of working as one.
Belittling our First nations people, farmers, working people, men, women and children in untenable domestic violence situations, the sick, the disabled and those that are struggling and can’t cope within our society.
Treating scared and desperate people so appallingly that they’ve started killing themselves.
Trying to gag public servants, doctors, members of the public and the media from exposing the government’s illegal and immoral activities and behaviour.
Giving police the power to strip search young people behind a screen on railway platforms and other public places.
This government are using the police force to keep us inline as a kind of army.
They a slowly stripping us of our human rights like some Orwellian novel.
Wake up people and fight for what is right!
This public announcement was brought to you by one pissed off hard working and caring Australian who has had enough!

Fortunately my mum taught me this lesson 53 years ago. Just because someone is in authority does not mean they know best.

The easiest principle. Not as easy to apply but the easiest principle to remember.

Only yesterday I was thinking of providing a definition of democracy that is apt to today’s corrupt scene. Something along the lines of, “That political system wherein the government takes a percentage of your money then politicians bribe you to vote for them by poromising you personal gain from what they stole from you in the first place while secretly collecting funds from corporate sponsors to fund their election campaigns then passing legislation in the best intersts of those sponsoring corporations, not the people.”

As time goes on I am becoming more convinced that democracy, while it sounds great, is not yielding us good governance.

We need a new system where managers are promoted on their competence as measured by their products and the best managers manage the largest area, federal government.

I doubt this will happen in my lifetime, too many changes would need to occur and they would be too heavily fought by those who stand to lose power and control.
