Labor’s strategy of forming a political alliance with the Greens where Bob Brown will be Julia’s defacto deputy will have a disastrous impact on our economic outlook and our social values. The Greens are an extreme left-wing organisation which has cleverly camouflaged their communist roots under more acceptable guises of environmentalism, racism, sexism, atheism, etc. The Greens provide taxpayer funded shelters for the naive and the nutters in these movements.

The political activist group, ‘Getup’, was established to harness support amongst the comfortable middle class – the commentators and chatterers within our society. They consider themselves more sophisticated but feel somewhat guilty about the fact that they have achieved their wealth via the non-productive sector through direct employment or via government grants and subsidies.  ‘Get-up’ cleverly exploits this guilt to channel votes to Labor via our preference system.

‘Independents’ also offer voters an excuse to avoid making a decision between the two major parties.

It’s no surprise that Andrew Wilkie outed himself as a Labor supporter.  He is a former Member of the Greens and pin-up boy for Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and our chattering classes because of his opposition to the Iraq War. 

NSW Independents in the New England area, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakshott face an interesting dilemma at the time of writing.  Both represent conservative electorates but seem to searching for an excuse to support a Gillard-Brown Labor Alliance.  Oakshott has emerged as the Peter Pan of Australian politics with his desire to sprinkle pixie dust over the National Parliament.  His presentation as a political cleanskin would be more credible if he was upfront about the level of support he received from Labor during his election campaign. 

Tony Windsor was a Member of the gang of independents who forced NSW to accept four year fixed terms without an escape clause.  Voters have had to endure the worst government in NSW history as a result. Windsor’s acquiescence to a new Labor-Green-Independent Alliance will be spun by his cousin, Labor’s chief propaganda merchant, Bruce Hawker.

Bob Katter will probably support the Coalition to give the impression that the ‘independents’ are independent.

If this eventuates Kristina Keneally will seek a sprinkle of Oakshott’s pixie dust - Peter Pan and Tinker Bell could well be a feature in the upcoming NSW election campaign.

Labor has all but abandoned its working class constituency in pursuit of the urban middle class vote.  Commentators and chatterers from the non-productive sector – academics, public servants, journalists, yuppies and doctors’ wives have emerged as the new force in the Labor Party. 

Elites from these sectors have a natural empathy with the rebadged communists within the Green movement – environmentalists, feminists, multiculturalists, socialists and other politically correct misfits from the extreme left. 

The Labor machine, once the province of leaders with a vision for a more equitable society, has been replaced by ruthless machine men who seek power for power’s sake.  The political carcasses of Maurice Iemma, Nathan Rees and Kevin Rudd are testimony to their cold-blooded political motives.

New Labors’ marriage of convenience with radical Greens and the urban Get-Up movement will be difficult to reconcile with their working class support base in outer metropolitan and rural areas. 

The Liberal National Coalition partners have blown millions campaigning against each other in recent years. Tony Abbott would be Prime Minister today if these resources had been directed towards fighting Labor.  It is somewhat ironic that former members of the National Party are currently denying him victory.

Conservative voters are increasingly frustrated by the limitations of the coalition agreement which often prevents credible candidates from contesting winnable seats in rural and coastal areas.  Their frustrations are vindicated by the fact that disenfranchised Nationals now hold the balance of power. Many believe it is time to either amalgamate into a Liberal Country Party or separate whilst in Opposition and work up a coalition agreement for Government. 

A Coalition in Opposition is the worst of all options as it ensures the continuation of trench warfare between the two partners.  It often means the best candidates for rural and coastal seats are sacrificed on the altar of self or tribal interest.

Whilst the inherent limitations of the current arrangement have been amplified in the current Federal election they will be masked by the expected anti-Labor swing in the upcoming NSW State election. This should not be used as an excuse to dodge the serious need for reform.

The emergence of One Nation, the Shooters Party and a band of independent members in rural/coastal seats has overtaken National Party concerns about the likely impact of any vacuum created by amalgamation with the Liberal Party.

The major challenge facing conservative parties today is the trade-off between long term strategic leadership and short-term self/tribal-interest.

Hopefully the current stalemate will be a catalyst for positive reform between the coalition partners. 

Whoever dares will win.

Australia has clearly lurched to the left with the election of a Green in the House of Representatives and a total of nine Green Senators.    We are set to pay a heavy price for our democratic indulgence.

The most serious threat of a Labor-Greens alliance relates to our national security.  Fanatical enemies of western democracy now have a green light to move hostile agents into Australia without a passport or a security clearance.  All they have to do is pay a people smuggler, make up a ‘refugee story’, let them set sail towards HMAS Centrelink and spend years on generous welfare support until a hostile scenario is ‘activated’. 

We will also pay dearly for the inevitable assault on our mining and agricultural industries.  Renewable energy sources may well make us feel warm on the inside but it takes real coal, oil and gas to generate sufficient energy to meet our domestic and industrial energy needs.  

Agricultural experts predict that Australia will not be able to feed itself within a decade because of zealous environmental regulations that have put large numbers of farmers and fishermen out of business.  Agricultural dependence on other nations seriously impacts on our national security.

There is no doubt that the Labor-Green alliance will make for some interesting politics once the dust has settled from the election.  Labor is run by ruthless factional warlords from the NSW right.  They have executed three recent political assassinations (Maurice Iemma, Nathan Rees and Kevin Rudd ) and have installed a female puppets (Kristina Keneally and Julia Gillard) to add some lip gloss to their political dirty work. 

The girls will stay in power for as long as they sing to their music sheets.

The Greens are run by mercenary political ideologues from the left.  They embrace warm and cuddly environmental  and social issues that appeal to the naive and help ease middle class guilt. Their philosophical role models are the most brutal and repressive nations in the world.

The Greens and their fellow travellers on the left are not wealth generators. They are political parasites who have perfected the art of living off taxpayer funded rorts in the public sector, through government grants and left-wing union support.

A realistic Labor-Greens Alliance slogan would be ‘vote now – pay later.’  Payment will be in the form of significant increases in electricity, petrol and groceries within a year.  No good whingeing though because that’s what we just voted for.

Whilst it took the heat of the election campaign to force the Gillard Government to take it off the agenda their Orwellian explanation has done little to allay the fears of our defence force personnel beyond August 21.

‘The Government has repeatedly acknowledged that as part of its routine and prudent contingency planning, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship has for some time been exploring additional temporary accommodfation options to house families and vulnerable asylum-seekers’, according to a report in the Australian on 28 July.

But what about the vulnerable families of our combat troops in Afghanistan left behind to fend for themselves while their husbands put their lives on the line on a daily basis in the war against terror?  These young families come from all over Australia and do not have the normal support of relatives and friends.  They have to rely on their local army, navy and airforce friends for family support.

The integrity of our service communities should be sacrosanct.

Since the Rudd-Gillard Labor government opened up our borders for people smugglers the integrity of our service communities has been shamefully compromised by allowing illegal immigrants to settle in close proximity to their married quaters and barracks.

Prime Minister Gillard, the real Julia, has always been an active member of the socialist left in Australia.  The unions she represents are the ones who went on strike rather than load ships for our diggers fighting on the Kokoda Trail during the Second World War.  Vietnam Veterans remember when the same unions refused to load our ships or deliver our mail during the Vietnam War.

Recently released Cabinet documents reveal that after the Vietnam War the Whitlam Labor Government would only allow North Vietnamese communists, our enemies, to migrate to Australia.  Our allies, the South Vietnamese, were left to languish in refugee camps for years. The Liberal Government reversed this treacherous policy after Whitlam was booted out of office in 1975. 

Over the past 70 years Julia Gillard’s socialist Labor movement in Australia has supported the most murderous regimes the world has ever known in Soviet Russia, Communist China, North Vietnam and Africa.  They are now trying to sabotage the war against terror and are quite prepared to humiliate the custodians of our freedom, our Australian Defence Force personnel, in the process.

Australia’s enemies now lie within out national borders.  It would be naive to think that subversive elements have not posed as ‘asylum seekers’ as a means of infiltrating our borders.  They can obviously afford to act as ‘sleepers’ for years under our generous welfare system.

Former Prime Minister John Howard was well aware of the security risk of an open door policy for illegal immigrants. He implemented policies that stopped the boats and sealed our borders.  He used the Navy in their proper role i.e. border protection.

The Rudd-Gillard Labor Government reversed Howard’s policy and ‘people smugglers’ are back in business. It is a travesty that these traffickers can now decide ‘who comes to Australia and the circumstances in which they come’!

Julia Gillard, the first unelected left-wing atheist spinster to occupy the position of Prime Minister has humiliated our Navy by now using them as a collective maître d’ for illegal immigrants. Labor is now adding insult to injury by planning to evict our diggers out of  their family married quarters and barracks so the illegals can make themselves at home in their new environment.

Our veterans will be turning in their graves. 

Meanwhile thousands of genuine refugees are left to languish in squalid overseas camps as boatloads of illegals jump the queue because they can. 

Of more concern is the fact that Prime Minister Julia Gillard treats our highest level National Security Council meetings with contempt by sending her bodyguard along.  It doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to realise how much sensitive information would be with-held from such meetings by our American allies now that we have a Prime Minister who would not normally be granted a Top Secret Security Clearance because of her past political affiliations and activities with the socialist left.  They would be well aware that she could be secretly barracking for the other side – just as her left-wing role models have done in the past!

Lest We Forget. 

On the contrary.  Our future leaders in every field of endeavour – politics, business, academia, community, the professions, arts and sport will come from Western Sydney. They will be successful because they will have earned the right to be so.  They will be tolerant and non-judgemental because of their cultural diversity. They will be respectful of the sacrifices made by their parents to ensure a quality education.  They will be self-satisfied because they will have had to be self-reliant.  They will be humbled by the pride their teachers, mentors, families and mates have for them.

But they are easily insulted when they are taken for granted or treated like idiots.

A couple of weeks ago Labor’s Sussex Street spivs realised that Westies don’t like illegal immigrants gate-crashing our immigration system.  They also discovered they don’t like being referred to as ‘rednecks’ by the commentariat and their latte sipping sycophants.  Quick as a flash they had Julia Gillard and David Bradbury, an unknown Labor lackey  from Lindsay, on a jet to Darwin for a naval photo shoot.  Bradbury’s political diaper would have been wet with excitement during this taxpayer funded stunt.

Never mind that another boatload of illegals arrived at Christmas Island the day after they jetted back to their media conference in Sydney. More illegals have arrived since and hundreds more are expected.  The next navy ship to be commissioned by Labor should be named ‘HMAS Centrelink’.

It’s a fair bet that most of these illegals will settle in Western Sydney despite the fact that we are full.  Last Thursday around 10 ambulances, two with serious burn patients, were queued at the Emergency Ward at Liverpool Hospital because our health system can no longer cope.

Every day hundreds of thousands of Western Sydney commuters are gridlocked on the M4, M5 and every other arterial road leading to and from work.  Thousands more are subject to the indignity of inadequate and unreliable public transport systems.

NSW used to be the Premier State.  It used to be the engine room of the Australian economy. It is now an economic wreck after 15 years of mismanagement by Australia’s worst ever State Labor Government.

Last week, Julia Gillard, announced $1 billion dollars for new Federal projects in Queensland where she has to make up ground after she knifed their Prime Minister.

All she allocated to NSW were 16 new hospital beds at Concord. No new roads. No new railways. No new infrastructure. Just a patronising gesture directed towards their hard-core political herd in Western Sydney.

Julia Gillard is obviously assuming that Sydney’s westies  can be taken for granted yet again.  It could well be a stupid assumption.

The Federal election does not have to be held for another seven months.  If Julia was dinkum in her desire to have voters judge her on her record she would give them time to do so. Voters would then be able to judge her performance in Parliament but then her role in Kevin Rudd’s political assassination would have been revealed.  Better to go early than risk that.

Julia obviously does not want us to know she was under the influence of Labor powerbroker, Mark Arbib, and reneged on a deal she made with Rudd before knifing him on Arbib’s orders. She has good cause to fear Arbib and do exactly what he says.  He has a record of successful political assassinations to his credit – two NSW Premiers and a Prime Minister.  Arbib is the most powerful and ruthless political operator in Australia today and Julia will stay in the job for as long as she obeys him. 

Julia also wants voters to move forward.  Of course she does.  The last thing she wants is people returning to her political dung heap.  

She wants them to forget that she helped put out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants by reversing John Howard’s policies which had effectively stopped boats  arriving at Centrelink. No amount of spin will change the fact that more and more boats will arrive while ever Labor governs Australia. 

Julia does not want  voters to know she was the most powerful figure in Labor’s ‘gang of four’ that squandered the $50 billion dollars left to them by the Howard Government and has since racked up an alarming mountain of debt that will take generations to pay off. 

Their attempt to use the mining industry as scapegoats for their economic incompetence backfired and threatened our sovereign risk as a nation. Arbib moved Julia forward on this issue.  She knifed Rudd and set up a deal with their big unions and the big end of town to get the issue off the agenda until after the election.  Never mind that our budget is now $6 billion worse off.

There is an abundance of other political dung heaps with Julia’s name attached to them. Rorts and rip-offs in her Building Education Revolution, the Copenhagen catastrophe, the home insulation fiasco, the Green loans disaster, fuel-watch, grocery-watch, etc.

No amount of lip gloss will cover the stench of Labor’s dung-heaps since Julia was elected.  It’s little wonder she wants us to move forward.

We do know the Greens want to close down our coal industry, put a stop to our uranium exports, lock up agricultural land, and close down our mining and marine industries. Australia will have to import energy and food in the not too distant future as a result.  If voters think the price of electricity and food is high now they had better brace themselves.

The Greens also have an open-border policy for illegal immigrants.  One Greens Senator recently stated  that we should send planes to bring them here because boats are too risky.

The Greens have also have a long term policy of legalising drugs. Scary but true.

But even more frightening is the Greens demand for a carbon tax.  Julia Gillard and Penny Wrong have a policy locked away in their handbags but there is no way they will release it before the election because they know it will cost them the election.  So Julia will for a special committee to report to her after the election instead.  You don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar to work out who Julia will appoint – Greenpeace, The Wilderness Society, WWF, ACF and a very other bleeding heart from the loony left are certain of a voice. 

Voters expect Members of Parliament to develop and enact policy and that is what the election is about.  They do want a bunch of unelected environmental evangelists running the agenda.  But it seems that is what they will get under a Gillard Labor Government.

Voters will do well to remember that Global Warming was the greatest moral challenge of our time for the Green quacks in the Labor movement.  When this theory was exposed as the fraud that it is the evangelists simply changed their language to ‘climate change’. Same fraud, same fraudsters, different names.

The media defended their exposé by asserting that a person in Campbell’s position could be vulnerable to blackmail attempts by those who knew of his secret ‘double’ life.   If this was the case they had a choice between passing the information onto the appropriate authorities for proper investigation or adopting the role of public prosecutor. They chose the latter and many, including some commentators in the media, believe they crossed the line in publicly exposing David Campbell’s ‘immorality’.

Those who argued that Campbell’s indiscretions were ‘immoral’, even if they were legal, were venturing into an interesting ethical debate about what is right and what is wrong as opposed to what is legal and what is illegal. We elect politicians to pass laws and regulations based on their individual and collective value systems. Our political parties broadly represent the dominant characteristics of the people they are elected to represent be it Mosman or Murrumbidgee.  As a consequence we have a variety of politicians from different regional, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Some are married.  Some live in de-facto relationships. Some are single.  Some are heterosexual. Some are homosexual. Some are bisexual .  Some go to church. Some don’t.

Elected Members of Parliament who engage in illegal activities deserve to be prosecuted and publicly shamed.  But we need to be more circumspect on judging ‘morality’. 

If the media see themselves as our moral guardians then they should apply the standards they expect of our politicians to their own profession.  Some would argue that this would lead to a dramatic thinning of their ranks. 

There is no doubt that the status of politicians has been seriously eroded through the demands of the 24-hour news cycle.  Fair enough some will say.  However on the flip side if we want to attract the best and brightest to the profession of politics we should respect their right to have a private life with their family, friends and whoever.  We should also appreciate that they are both blessed and cursed with the same personal strengths, flaws and frailties as those who elect them and those who report on them.

State Labor’s plundering of our energy corporations over the past 15 years and the Rudd-Wrong Emissions Trading Scheme is about to send a seismic shock through NSW households.

Given that we have the world’s largest reserves of uranium the most effective way to reduce our carbon emissions is to establish Nuclear power plants in Australia.  Unfortunately this is an unacceptable form of energy for environmental evangelists in the Labor-Green political movements. It’s OK to sell it to other countries just as long as we don’t use it in Australia because we have solar, wind . . . and pedal power!  Unfortunately none of these will insulate NSW households from Labor’s electric shock they are about to receive.

The extraction of oil and minerals from below the earth’s surface is essential to our global health, wealth and lifestyle.  Unfortunately mining can have a devastating effect on our environment which can have an equally devastating impact on our health, wealth and environment. 

Mining exploration and development often requires a high degree of risk and massive injections of capital.  Shareholders who provide risk capital will demand a commensurate return on their investment.   Governments’ role is to strike a balance between the demands of the mining industry and their responsibility for protecting our environment.  It is not an easy task.

The issue also includes debate in the Hunter region over the benefits of high-return non-renewable coal mining operations as opposed to sustainable agricultural industries.  The environment of the Hunter is one of its great assets but our demands for energy and food will create stress amongst miners, farmers and environmentalists in the region.

Unfortunately any type of industry created by ‘capitalists’ is anathema to Green evangelists and their camp followers in the commentariat.  Generally the closer they are to inner-city areas the louder they spruke.  Some walk across bridges as a form of protest, others jump in their BMWs to visit a site but most just gather for group hugs in trendy cafes and sing kumbiyah.  It doesn’t do anything to resolve the conflict between mining and the environment but it makes them all feel good.

The illegal immigration rort quickly turned from a trickle to a flood as soon as people smugglers realised Australia was back open for business under Kama Kev.  Rather than make the hard decisions necessary to stem the tide Kev decided to suspend it for people from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka until after the next election.  Kev obviously thinks the people smugglers are as dumb as the people who would vote for him a second time round!  All the smugglers now have to do is focus on a couple of different countries until Kev is voted back in and it will be business as usual.

Kama Kev’s sudden move to appoint a Minister for Population was slick politics.  It could even become the greatest moral issue of our time! 

Kev’s aim is to muddy the water between legal and illegal immigration.  The difference is our right to decide who comes to Australia and the circumstances under which they come.  This was John Howard’s policy and it effectively put the people smugglers out of business until Kev was elected.

Population is a key policy area and deserving of a special Ministry.  The appointment of Tony Burke, one of the most capable Ministers in Rudd’s Labor Government, is a good choice.  One of Burke’s priorities should be to adopt Tony Abbott’s proposal for paid maternity leave to encourage population growth within Australia.

However it is unrealistic to think that Australia can generate sustained economic growth without an ambitious and progressive immigration program.  The challenge for Tony Burke is to match the infrastructure development to population intake.  This would be regarded as mission impossible in NSW since Bob Carr declared that ‘Sydney is full’ and infrastructure policy was relegated to the production of glossy brochures and dodgy developer mates. 

Motorists using Narellan Road, Camden Valley Way and the dreaded M5 are reminded of Labor’s incompetence on a daily basis.  NSW electricity users are reminded of it on a quarterly basis – and they ain’t seen nothin’ yet!  Our hospitals are on life-support and public-transport alternatives are not an option for the majority of commuters. 

Its little wonder Kama Kev is trying to deflect the legal and illegal immigration debate until after the next election!
