One Nation NSW: Cheap electricity is the right of all Australians

Cheap electricity is the right of all Australians

According to constitutional law, electricity is a public owned utility, an essential service vital to our basic standard of living and in a harsh climate even our very survival. That this very basic and essential service was allowed to be un-lawfully sold off to private enterprise is by definition an act of treason. Australians were deceived when Government committed to selling off essential services (without referendum), stating it would lead to greater competition and lower prices. Now welfare agencies report an epidemic of Australians having their power cut because they cannot pay their bill. As of 2007 there were 18,000 households just in NSW disconnected from their electricity supply and more than 22,000 disconnected from gas.

One Nation warns the worst is yet to come, as reported in the Courier Mail Jan. 1, 2010. “The wholesale price of electricity will more than double within two years and triple in the next two decades under the Rudd Government's plans to tackle climate change.” Prime Minister Gillard’s plan will deliver the same. At that time recent welfare agency research of those seeking emergency assistance with their energy bills across six Emergency Relief centers in greater metropolitan Sydney, the Illawarra and the Southern Highlands shows that single parents with children (44 per cent) were predominantly the ones seeking assistance. Children were also found to reside in 60 per cent of all households included in the study.

It also revealed that while many relied on government benefits, most households weren't on unemployment benefits and were not overly high users of energy. The vast majority were careers, single mothers, pensioners and those with disabilities, most went to Anglicare struggling to pay an energy bill of $300 or less. If it continues many will die in the winter and summer months and our struggling health system will be inundated with those suffering from pneumonia and heat stroke; this will mainly consist of the elderly, infirm and very young. In the meantime it will remain warm in winter and cool in summer in the halls of parliament house. It is a core policy and a mandate of One Nation to restore its people’s assets and security.

Mission Statement

One Nation is for the regulation of essential services and industries, especially the Banking, farming and utility sectors. We believe in protection of our industry and borders.

Australia has deregulated and privatised itself to its knees. It has betrayed it’s populous by running down their utilities and totally ignoring that infrastructure needs to keep ahead of the pace of society.

In NSW Your electricity, communications, rail, hospitals, water, have been treated with neglect with the intention to privatise. The department of Agriculture has suffered the same fate and soon will be virtually out of existence.

Farms held in families for generations are virtually stolen from underneath by the greed and treachery of today’s power brokers.

The ATO has become a monster to the common people. Local governments have become a burden on their shires.

It will not be long before all our resources are sold and we become a third world country with the great divide being the difference between the have and have nots.

The greatest growth industry in Australia has become the bureaucrat, producing burdensome laws that create more red tape. They have deregulated all and sundry while at the same time have regulated the individual into the ground.

It is contemptuous that those Australian’s responsible have sat ideally by while their country compatriots have had their lives and future ruined. Now the ramifications of both State and Federal government legislation are glaring.

We believe in the commonwealth of Australia and not a republic. The Government must ensure that the Australian people retain their public utilities and that their services are not compromised.

We stand for rational management of the environment, agriculture and Fisheries; ensuring the maintenance of Fire trails in all National Parks and state forests. Giving Farmers and property owner’s back the use of their land and livelihood.

Responsible ownership of Firearms by Australian citizens for lawful purposes.

The rights of responsible organisations and clubs to exist for recreational activities, e.g. Social, horse and 4WD.

Tariffs and subsidies for industries suited to their competition. Abolition of the GST for an equitable tax across all income.

The overhaul of DOCS, Department of community services, and the CSA, Child support agency. To provide for a more humane provision of service.

The rights of the established Family unit to be a mixed relationship, between husband and wife as equal s.

The Armed Forces and Intelligence Services need to be equipped to ensure that our country is secure.

Water resources and management.

Employment, with sustainable and fair pay, conditions and salary packages.

The re-establishment of a competitive “Bank of Australia” and Government insurance office.

All contentious issues shall be put to referendum; The Australian people can decide for themselves.

A Nationally funded public health system that has the capacity in Facility, Plant and Staff to cope with a National

State of Emergency. Hospitals would also be returned to the control of the “Public Hospital Board”. This will restore control to the local community. One Nation supports the re-introduction of funding for community care programs such as meals on wheels the elderly and disabled.

GATS, LIMA, RIO, KYOTO, COPENHAGEN, WTO and IMF. One Nation has stood fast and will continue to oppose any treaty that is detrimental to Australia, its people, industries and way of life.
