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.

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!

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!

I am crafting a piece about the ideal purpose and functions of a government.

A national government is the leading body of a nation.

In our country the government is made up of representatives elected by the eligible voting members of the citizenry.

Via legislation this body sets the policy and strategy of how the nation is to attain its goals.

The responsibility of a national government is to preserve, protect, defend and enhance the life,
liberty,
freedom,
health,
individual and collective assets,
quality of life and
prosperity
of its citizens and the
flora,
fauna and
environment (air, above and below ground water, land and sea quality)
from threats both external and internal.

To ensure this it must also promote the stability and security of its neighbouring governments.

If a government is not doing the above it is not doing its job. It is betraying the trust of its people. It is in treason. And needs to be replaced.

Everywhere you turn you can see instances of and the results of our present government not doing its job.

It is well past time for a change from the status quo.

How far removed from that ideal purpose are the actions of the Greens, Labor, Liberals and Nationals?

Here is something you can do towards that. Support the establishment of a federal anti-corruption watchdog.

An incredible and creatively designed nature observatory called Camp Adventure is located about one hour south of Copenhagen, Denmark, in the preserved forest of Gisselfeld Klosters Skove. A sturdy walking bridge, nearly 3000 feet long, was built to wind through the forest until the path eventually ends at the foot of 148 foot tall observation tower. The observation tower looks like a spiral ramp that stretches above the trees.

And if you are visiting New York...

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!
