The Gillard Government

noco · 4 April 2012

So the Gillard Government are going to cut the Climate Change staff from 900 to 600.

I for one would like to know what the roll of 900 people would be doing let alone 600.

They should close the bloody lot down altogether now the Gillard Government has it's $23 carbon tax (ops, sorry carbon price) through.

I think they look like those jelly snakes.
Not inappropriate, perhaps.

600 of them, they'd be rattling around in the building. It's all so Yes Minister isn't it. But Sir Humphrey, there are no patients!

Here we go again, It's really hard not to let fly with the expletives but this woman is the absolute pits and has to go ASAP....the damage caused to this economy will be terminal by the time she's finished and if I were Abbott I'd be scared witless and the job ahead of him.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard pays out lump sum cash bonuses for families as carbon tax compo

CASH bonuses for families of up to $100 per child and $250 for pensioners will be deposited in voters' bank accounts within weeks as the Gillard government fights a public backlash over the carbon tax.

Lol What happened with Larry Hannigan and his charge against Gillard with Treason?

moXJO · 8 April 2012

Adelaide businessman Graham Daniels, has charged the Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions Jeremy Rapke QC, with perverting the course of justice after the Office of Public Prosecutions dismissed Mr Daniels’ charge against Prime Minister Julia Gillard under provisions of the Crimes Act relating to taking an unlawful oath to commit treason.
On July 29th, 2010, in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, Mr Daniels filed a charge against Ms Gillard of breaching Section 316 (2)(a)(vii) of the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic) during the month of June 2010.

Mr Daniels, of Adelaide, is an international business consultant and part owner with his father Peter J. Daniels, of Australia’s only bullion bank.
The Victorian Office of Public Prosecutions wrote to Mr Daniels on July 30, informing him that the DPP had taken over the conduct of the proceedings and withdrawn them.
The treason-related charge against Ms Gillard was not the first. On January 29th, 2007, Victorian farmer Brian Shaw charged Ms Gillard, then his local Federal Member, of concealing an alleged act of treason by the Parliament of Western Australia.
Mr Shaw’s allegations of treason against the WA Parliament were subsequently dismissed by the WA Supreme Court and Mr Shaw declared a vexatious litigant. Mr Shaw denies he is a vexatious litigant and continues to hold public meetings across Australia alleging subversion of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution.
Numerous other public figures have been charged in the past few years by Mr Shaw for alleged treasonous acts against the Commonwealth of Australia including misprision of treason and being attainted of treason, that is, acts associated with concealing treason.

Jeremy Rapke, QC, Director of Public Prosecutions Victoria, threw out Mr Daniels’ action, so Mr Daniels has decided to charge Mr Rapke.
The charge is: The accused at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on 30 July 2010 did use unlawful authority to take over and supress an indictable offence filed against Julia Gillard (The Accused) by Graham Daniels (The Informant).
The unlawful authority occurs in the fact that the purported power came from the Public Prosecutions Act 1994 Victoria, an Act that has removed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second from such Act at Section 51.3 of such Act.
By such unlawful conduct the accused did attempt to pervert the Course of Justice.

There has been a long frustrating call by the majority of Australians to have an election so that we can kick out this pathetic government.

Unfortunately it would appear that this will not happen for another 18 months or so.

So many people ask in frustration what can we do.

The only recourse the electorate has is to turn off and ignore this Labor government.

Every time Labor appears to distribute more spin - Turn it off (change channels instantly)

Any meetings etc organised by Labor - don't go.

Any media or articles supporting this rabble - ignore them and don't read/buy it.

Sometimes a difficult task indeed, but that's all you have available to protest (before the election).

Support people who try to bring this rabble to task!

That's what I will be doing from now on.

MrBurns · 8 April 2012

I think if someone organised a march it would get a lot of support.
One in each capital city.
Just passive protest.

Though I guess the silent majority arent the march participating type, ....but it's getting close to that now I reckon.

That Daily Telegraph article continues to perpetuate the myth that people will be better off via the 'tripling of the taxfree threshold'. They never mention that at the same time tax offsets for low income people will be abolished and there is ultimately only a difference of a bit over $1000. The journalists must be ignorant, lazy or both.

Not to mention bracket creep over the next decade... great way to get the proles on board who only care about the "then and now!", however.

This handout is to bribe people to like them again, it's another useless waste of money as those who get it will just spend it as usual and still complain when prices go up.

It's not even on the ABC web site yet.

But my point is that the so called tripling of the tax rate (part of the handout) just isn't what it's touted to be and that the media are doing an abysmal job of pointing this out.
I reckon 90% of the population actually believe their taxable income will be tripled when it actually will not.

I doubt anything will make the electorate change their minds about the government now.
Just as in Queensland, people have made up their minds and have largely stopped listening, so lacking is the government's credibility.

It is basically an illegitimate government.

Even anything good they do will be tainted by their poor governance, atrocious management, lies and obstinacy in the face of criminality.

I suppose this will fall on deaf ears, but its more efficient to cut the tax free thresholds than take money away from people then give it back again in 'offsets'.

I would have thought that measure would appeal to the Libbie Luvvies because it gives everyone money in the hand rather than reimbursing only those who the government either feels needs it more or think are more likely to vote for them; ie lower paid workers.

But of course the blinkered ones here can't see that.

And certainly close down the whole Dept. of Climate Change. Their job is done and we don't need them any more.

It's more a case of whatever they do they stuff up so wait for this it'll be huge even by Labor stuff up standards.

Not a bad post Horace,

Blink not mate, blink not.

Lest you be a blinker.

The problem is that money (and more) is being taken away again in the form of a carbon tax.

Doc, just remember that Horace gets much of his opinion from the ABC.

Do not confront, him , but rather encourage him to partake of SBS and Skynews, as well as watching the ABC.

I have met many like him, who have been thankful for the liberation.
