More Labor waste

One Nation NSW would like to question the sanity of our senior federal Labor politicians. It seems that after a string of policy failures they are intent on wasting more public money as the push Australians into a misery of debt. Billions have been lost and wasted in such schemes as the Pink Batts Fiasco, the BER, Solar panel rebates, and their soft approach to boatpeople and the list goes on. Now they want to give pensioners a set top box for their televisions at $400 apiece. The sad part is anyone can walk into an electrical retailer and pick one up for $30.00.

We believe this is nothing more than a bribe. Just like the one off payment of $900 to all and sundry Labor used when fist getting into office. Just like then most of this money will end up offshore in the pockets of Chinese manufacturers.

The benefit to pensioners you may ask? Well they will be able to see the massive increases in the cost of living when watching the news on digital TV. As electricity soars and petrol skyrockets the government gives them a set top box. This is after years of refusing to increase the pension and threatening to cut their pensions if they dare go out and try and earn an extra dollar to survive.

What is most amazing to One Nation however is the fact that Labor politicians have ridiculed our economic policies such as indexed pensions, lower individual taxes and free healthcare and dental for all Australians? This only confirms how far Labor is removed from reality as they fiddle like Nero as Rome burns.

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.

SunRice Sellout

One Nation is very concerned with the potential buyout of SunRice by the Spanish company Ebro. Our government’s lax approach to food security has meant that many of our Agricultural assets have been snapped up by foreign companies and governments.

It has become all too clear that many of the companies who are buying our farms and food production industries are doing so to shore up food supplies for their own countries. As populations grow and farm land is lost due to growing cities, food shortages will become common. Does this mean that Australians will miss out and go hungry as the food is sent offshore? It all looks good on the government’s balance sheet but that does not guarantee us quality food on our supermarket shelves.

One Nation believes we will see a lot more of this in the future as both sides of government are believers in globalisation. They have lost interest in building a strong Australia and now create policy to adapt our country into a state of the new world order rather than a sovereign and independent country. Their ignorance to the need of our producers is obvious as profits flow offshore and thousands walk off the land or go broke.

One Nation believes the answer is rural co-operatives. A government owned bank could supply low interest loans so that the Farmers co-operatives could build the business with profits staying local. Further this with a guaranteed water supply and infrastructure improvements in better roads and rail and we can create a viable and profitable business that the whole communities share in.

Time to protect our culture

There have been in recent times attacks on our Australian culture and identity. Customs that have been practiced for centuries are belittled by those who aspire to remove all traces of our heritage. There are even those in our community who would like to see the end of Christmas and Easter celebrations as they pander to minorities. Do these people suggest that instead of teaching our children about these long practiced rituals of love and sharing we should ban them in favour of some minority religious or cultural celebration?

It seems that in every way we are trying to appease some minority or other. From our government bowing to self interest groups when deciding policy or funding, to the current weak kneed approach to boat people and criminal detainees who destroy government property at will. It doesn’t matter which of the major parties you look at they have entrenched weaknesses and favour certain groups based on agenda or political donations.

People who migrate to Australia must accept our customs, laws and culture without question or go home to where they came from. Furthermore they should have to learn English and Australian history before they can gain full citizenship. Australians should never be forced to change customs, laws, celebrations or even the way our food is prepared to appease any culture or minority religious group.

One Nation believes our country and identity is worth fighting for as hundreds of thousands of Australians have done so in numerous wars to protect our sovereignty and freedom. Many of them made the supreme sacrifice to protect what we have and we will certainly not allow their memory to fade nor will we surrender the country they fought for.

Villawood Riots

One Nation condemns the criminal actions of the rioters at the Villawood detention centre. It seems that the same people who destroyed taxpayer’s property at Christmas Island have been allowed to do the same at Villawood. This is after our government spent tens of thousands of dollars chartering a private plane to fly them here at taxpayers’ expense.

Yet again the Australian people will have to pick up the bill for the Labor governments incompetent and soft policy towards illegal immigrants. If they were to adopt One Nation policy and remove these economic queue jumpers immediately as they arrive there would be no opportunity for them to cause problems.

There is no doubt that our country has an obligation to allow people in genuine need to migrate here. Those who follow the correct procedure and follow the set guidelines are most welcome. Those who jump queue’s and arrive illegally are not. Our governments continued pandering to these criminals demands does nothing to send out a strong message. One can only imagine the jokes about our weak replies to this violence and the amount of money we spend on trying to pacify these parasites.

One Nation calls on Chris Bowen to get tough or get out. The Australian people have had enough. We need strong government not gross political correctness and weak kneed policy aimed to appease imported terrorists and delusional refugee advocates.

Paulines shock loss

One Nation congratulates Pauline Hanson on her candidature for the NSW Legislative Council.

Considering her late entry and the derogative attacks aimed at her by political opponents and segments of the media she achieved an outstanding result. However it can be seen that the voting system of this state and country need to be looked at when someone can win a majority of votes yet still miss out due to preference deals.

One Nation NSW is very encouraged by the swing of support back to Pauline for her position on many issues, are replicated in our policies. This gives us great hope that our success in Australian politics can only grow as more voters become frustrated with the two party system and associated corruption of our democracy.

We wish Pauline well and urge her to continue in Australian politics for One Nation will always support Independent politicians and minor parties who put Australians and their future ahead of party agenda and globalisation.

NSW Election Result

The people have spoken. They have booted the Labor Party from office with a record swing against their incompetent and factional style of government.

The Greens have also lost ground. People are waking up to their agenda and have realised that when something stinks then something has to be rotten

Thousands have supported Pauline Hanson’s return to politics and have voted accordingly. She is edging ever so close to winning a seat in the Upper House. Win or lose she has shown that there is support for common sense politics and a new revolt against politically correct censorship.

One Nation asks ‘why there is such a frenzy of finger pointing going on?’ Accusations are flying between the Greens and Labor as to who is to blame for Pauline having a chance in NSW politics. The fact is the people voted her in and they want someone to keep these scoundrels honest.

O’Farrell today claimed he was confident that despite the fact that Ms Hanson was ahead in the polls she would not get in. Interesting, for it was another Liberal politician who stopped her in the first place with a massive legal fund and a trumped-up charge.

And they have the hide to call Australia democratic.

Combets Comments

One Nation NSW finds it amusing that Greg Combet described those who exercised their democratic right and attended today’s Canberra rally against Labor’s Carbon Tax, as ratbags and extremists. It seems that anyone who does not agree with Labor policies, are now seen as divisive and a danger to our democracy. One Nation questions what has happened to freedom of speech in this country?

It was not that long ago that the Labor Party and the unions held a long and bitter campaign to discredit the GST. All sorts of inaccurate claims and statements such as “Jobs not GST” were used. The scare campaign lasted some time and we certainly cannot remember the ALP being branded as extremists for their actions. History also shows us that once in power the Labor party did not abolish the GST but instead kept it so now the carbon tax will become a much larger extension of what the Labor party called an unfair and unjust tax.

One Nation believes that these statements are the signal of a major decline in our countries democracy. Policy is no longer debated in this country and all opponents are crushed to force an agenda. Surely this type of behaviour vindicates all that One Nation has said over the years for this is why we began and what we have been fighting against for over a decade.

NSW Labor Cover Up

One Nation condemns the Labor Party for their obvious attempt to conceal the truth by shredding documents. Not since the fall of Nazi Germany have we seen such a frenzy of file destruction to hide information from the public.

This can also be confirmed by the amount of MP’s who have resigned and will not contest their seats. Once the election is finalised and Labor is in opposition they will be but a shadow of their former selves and a rabble of inexperience. There will be no one left to blame for their past incompetence.

One Nation believes that this culture of lies and deceit is rife in the Labor Party, both state and federal, and it is not the first time a shredder has been used to hide the truth. Kevin Rudd knows all too well the benefits of destroying evidence; he followed the same course while with the QLD state government in the infamous Heiner Affair.

We call on voters to support Independent and minor parties for the only way we will ever achieve a fairer system of government is to reduce the power of the major parties and move away from agenda driven policy stimulated by shady deals with financial backers. You cannot corrupt 93 individual and Independent MP’S but it is easy to corrupt just two parties whose members must toe the line or be banished from the ranks.

MORE ON THE CARBON LIE

One Nation stands opposed to the economic bastardry that is to be served cold to the Australian people in the form of a carbon tax. While Australians will be affected by price increases, job losses and the further decline of Australian manufacturing there will be no impost on foreign manufacturers at all. They will continue to buy our coal and pollute our planet at an unprecedented rate. The Liberal Party claims to stand opposed to a carbon tax but there are many amongst them who support this agenda as many of their elite backers are set to gain a massive windfall if carbon trading is implemented. There have been no guarantees that an alternative scheme would not be raised in the future by the Liberal Coalition, only the usual opposition rhetoric that goes with the two party system.

To add insult to injury many of our coal mining companies and assets are being snapped up by Indian and Chinese companies. They all boast how they are going to massively increase the amount of coal going offshore to their homelands. Back to countries that will never implement a carbon tax and who will find it a whole lot easier to sell their goods in Australia when there is no local manufacturing left, as they all have been sent broke or offshore by Gillard’s tax. So while politicians and their media entourage draw attention to issues like immigration and boat people, calling One Nation out of touch and divisive, they are only drawing voter’s attention away from the real issues facing Australians. One Nation believes they should remember the old saying “that if you point your finger at someone there is usually three pointing back at you”, for how could anything be more out of touch and divisive than a massive tax on everything based on fraudulent science and driven by political ideology and a covert agenda.

Pauline Hanson's NSW Senate Bid

One Nation supports Pauline Hanson in her bid for a seat in the NSW senate. It has been some time since Pauline left One Nation but we continue to support many of her views and respect her determination and steadfastness in the face of negative and derogative attacks on her character.

There are those in our society, many of them in politics and even the media who continue to this day to try and discredit Pauline Hanson. The tired label of racist has been is thrown around with malice as it seems there are those who claim to support freedom of speech, but in reality attack it if it is against their own views. There are also many in the public who have been convinced that this is another attempt to grab at public money just for running as a candidate. This is a sign of complete naivety as all parties and Independents run in elections to obtain financial gain to fund their political future. How many times have Labor and Liberal contested safe seats? Either way they know that once they pass the threshold money will flow into the coffers.

One Nation believes we need more Independents and minor parties in parliament. This will be the only way our country will ever achieve true representation. With the major parties in control all we get is party politics and decisions based on agenda. This can be clearly seen by Labor and Liberal putting Pauline and even One Nation last on preferences. They will do whatever it takes to stifle true democracy and keep the control of Australian politics firmly in their grasp.

Its time for a referendum on the carbon tax

One Nation calls for a referendum on Julia Gillard’s carbon tax. The Labor party and the Greens believe they have a mandate to introduce this oppressive tax on the Australian people by conveniently forgetting they only hold power due to the bribery of a couple of Independents. They do not and will never represent the voice of the silent majority but instead peddle policy based on their own agenda.

State Labor leaders have been working towards a carbon tax for years. Policy has been put in place with complete contempt shown towards the Australian people. The public have never been consulted nor have alternative plans been looked at. Where was the debate?

Many Liberals will support Gillard and her carbon tax because of their links to big business. Many are former members of international investment firms and the banks and these organisations are pushing the concept of a market based system as they can skim the top for massive profits.

One Nation questions why we need to tax the Australian public anymore when the damage is being done offshore and by big business. Governments target individuals because they are easy prey. Why not attack the problem at the source. We say tax the imports from countries that do nothing about pollution and use this money to build our own green manufacturing base. If you add this to rebates and tax incentives for adopting cleaner production and bigger fines for pollution then you have a more positive system.

One Nation also supports better infrastructure for our cities and improving public transport. This could be assisted by an Australians bio fuels industry and we can cut pollution as we remove our reliance on imported fossil fuels. Changing to Australian made E85 bio fuel would cut individuals carbon footprint by up to 56%.

We challenge the major parties to put this very important issue to a vote and see once and for all what the Australian people want. Will the major parties have the courage to do this and come up with a more positive alternative? If the GST, deregulation of agriculture and the selloff of public owned infrastructure are any indication then we will see more of the same, an arrogant disdain shown towards the rights of our countrymen and a continued erosion of our democratic rights.

One Nation Media statement on NSW state election

As many already know One Nation NSW will not be contesting any seats at the upcoming state election. This is due to the fact that we are no longer registered in NSW, due in part to the resignation from the party of Pauline Hanson and David Oldfield in 2004. One Nation will not be in a position to reregister the party in NSW for at least 18 months.

One Nation believes more scrutiny is the order of the day and a closer look and consideration needs to be made at the independents and minor parties. We urge voters to attend candidate nights and get involved in the political process. We need a balance in parliament; not another dictatorship, as an unbiased opinion is much needed. More Independents and members from minor parties will give better representation to the people of NSW.

The major parties are making big promises. One can only wonder where the money is coming from as it has never previously been there to be used for essential services like health and infrastructure. One Nation believes we may witness a repeat of what is happening in QLD. Prime agricultural land, being sold off for mining. A large portion of the state has been earmarked for the dangerous practice of coal seam fracturing and we believe that this revenue may be used to pay for all the promises.

The Liberal Party has attacked Labor over the sell out of our publically owned electricity infrastructure. They have claimed they will stop the sell off and reverse the decision. One Nation finds this stance a little confusing coming from a party that represents the interests of big business. Have the Liberals guaranteed that no more public assets will be sold?

We urge all to take a very close look at what is being offered and what the alternatives are. The last thing we want is a situation where we jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. Who is going to keep them honest when they claim to have the mandate to do what they want?

Gillard and NZ apples

Australia apple producers must feel that their days are numbered after Julia Gillard announced in the New Zealand parliament that Australia will import NZ apples. Even the current stop clock on the importation due to concerns about Fire Blight did not stop her as she spruiked to overjoyed NZ parliamentarians that we would do as we are told by the WTO and let the apples in.

Australia has long promoted the fact that we produce the planets cleanest quality produce. This is very true and the majority of this is exported for the benefit of overseas consumers. In its place an ever growing tide of imported produce is brought in for local consumers. There lies the problem. Like New Zealand apples a lot of this food is not up to Australian standard. As a result of all the major parties signing the GATS agreement and their constant and unrelenting support of free trade Australians will have to settle for inferior products to facilitate our international trade.

Even our bio-security has been politicised and as a result too much is let slip through the once rigorous safeguards for the community. New Zealand apples confirm this. To control the Fire Bligh NZ apples are injected by antibiotics. Antibiotics in our food are a recipe for disaster as has been shown in India with the formation of a new raft of superbugs that cannot be controlled with our current range of drugs.

Add to this imported food from China. Many Chinese will not even eat their own produce as there have been thousands of cases of poisoning and even deaths from eating their food. We have had reports of prawns being harvested in sewerage and poisons and toxins found in numerous imported products. Another example of dangerous imports is American beef. This too is on a hold due to concerns of carrying Mad Cow disease yet One Nation believes it is only a matter of time before it enters our country in raw form as the WTO dictates it. We already import beef product from the US in canned foods.

One Nation calls for the GATS agreement to be scrapped and Bio-security Australia to be overhauled. We would like to see our country be responsible for our own trade decisions and look after the interests of Australian producers and consumers instead of selling them out in the name of free trade and globalisation. One Nation is against FREE TRADE as it stands, we will however actively pursue FAIR TRADE deals that first benefit and protect our own Industries and protect our clean produce from diseases afflicting imports from other Nations. This then will create demand for our produce and give us a strong bargaining position.

Multiculturalism has failed

One Nation condemns the Australian Labor Party for their closed minded attitude towards the failure of multiculturalism. After reversals in policy from Germany, France and the United Kingdom it has been clearly shown that this social experiment has failed. One Nation has been warning the Australian public for over a decade that the extreme policies of the major parties are going to create division in our country and we are heading down the same path as Europe with divided cities and ethnic enclaves.

In Europe there has been major increases in crime and civil unrest coupled with religious extremism and in many cases reverse racism and attacks on the countries own inhabitants. Murders have been committed in the name of religion and in some cases whole suburbs are out of bounds to essential services including the police and ambulance crews. As a result the leaders of many European countries now admit to the mistake they have made and are looking at ways to create a fairer system.

In Australia, our Labor government has decided to defend this disastrous policy by establishing yet another bureaucracy, the “National anti – racism and partnership strategy” backed up a junior minister being appointed as “Secretary for immigration and citizenship. One Nation is sure that this new department which will be supported by the bias and self serving Multicultural Council will swallow up large amounts of taxpayers’ money while trying to force the lie down the Australian publics necks.

More needs to be done to decentralise immigration from the cities with agreements made on entry to live in rural areas. This will help break down the enclaves that are forming in our capital cities. Strict numbers need to be set for immigration as to allow integration and debate needs to be had on the future ethnic makeup of immigration to avoid civil unrest.

Will this come from the major parties? No. Their agenda dictates policy as much as the commands of the UN who in reality are the ones running this country. This is the result of the hundreds of treaties that have been signed without the consultation of the Australian people.

Deregulations curse on our country

It can be clear from the recent actions of the major supermarkets the Labor /Liberal policy of deregulation has failed. As a result of removing government protection for our farmers they are now at mercy to the whims of the major supermarkets. Greed and market dominance rule the day as the supermarket duopoly vie to outdo each other at the farmers expense. This can be confirmed with the recent attack on the price of milk.

It doesn't matter which industry or sector you look at, you can see the negative impact of this ideology. All areas of food production are affected. Supermarkets very rarely lose profit. In fact they increase it as they force growers to accept their offer. Australians are addicted to convenience and as a result the number of markets for produce has shrunk. Farmers now have to accept the supermarkets offer or plough their produce into the dirt.

Banks are another example. Charging what they want in interest and fees they thumb their nose at our government's continued calls for lower charges. It is amazing the Australian people have not seen through the crocodile tears of the major parties, as it was their policies and actions that have created this mess and they are only too aware they have no power over an unregulated industry. Every year the Australian people are slugged more and more and bank profits are breaking records yet nothing changes.

One Nation has always supported the policy of regulated markets. This would guaranteed our farmers have a set price for their product at the farm gate. It would also protect the public from profit gouging from the banks and major retailers. Regulation does not necessarily mean government should control all facets of primary production and business operation but can be used as a means of safeguarding producers and consumers. At the least we need to protect our agriculture to ensure it does not go the same way as our manufacturing industry.

Time to fix our unfair tax system

Australians are struggling. There is no doubt that recent increases in interest rates combined with higher prices at the checkout are putting many Australian households under pressure. To confirm this you only have to look at the public response to Julia Gillard’s new flood Levy. For most Australians the burden will be only a couple of dollars a week yet as much as 90% of the public are against it. It is clear people have had enough.

Over the last two decades the major parties have attacked individuals and small business with a raft of new taxes. The system is far too complex and unfair. Wage earners and small business pay the lion’s share of government revenue in this country as corporations and the big multinationals pay little or even nothing into the public coffers. The average person does not have an army of accountants to protect them and find loopholes in the system and with the current complexities of the tax act there are plenty of them to be found and exploited.

Why are individuals overburdened? One Nation believes that because they are an easy target and all levels of government know it. It is easy for federal, state and local governments to target them and all are concerned about economic figures so they leave the big boys alone. This makes the headlines look good as they sweep the associated human misery under the carpet. This can be seen by the increasing numbers living on the streets and those who have joined the working poor and cannot afford life’s basic essentials.

The Henry Review, set within strict parameters does little more than suggest a whole new range of taxes on individuals. At the same time corporations are paying record executive bonuses and the banks boost profits every year. Where will it end?

One Nation calls for a complete system overhaul. We have put forward the debits tax system which has been backed by economists the world over. This one only tax would eliminate all other taxes and streamline the system. It would provide a balance to the system with all paying their equal share.

The major parties have rubbished it and written it off. Why you may ask? We all know that Labor and Liberal get millions from the corporate sector in donations. There is no way they will support a fair tax as their masters will cut off the funds if they have to pay their fair share. Even Chinese government owned agencies have thrown millions into the major parties. If you are asking for representation from Labor or the Coalition you are wasting your time as their support has been bought just like every other public owned piece of infrastructure this country ever owned.

Only your vote will bring about long term change for this country and we urge you to use it wisely.

Labor's Flood Levy

Yet again, the typical response to a problem faced by our Labor government is answered with a new tax. There is no doubt that the bill to clean up Queensland and Victoria after the recent floods is going to be substantial but One Nation believes there is adequate money available in the budget with a few minor changes to priorities .The last thing Australians need is to be slugged with a levy as many are already struggling with our countries unfair tax system.

We suggest our Labor government stop spending so much offshore. It is one thing to help other countries in their time of need, but millions are sent offshore in social programs. One Nation acknowledges the Liberals call to scrap the $43 billion fast internet scheme and use that money to rebuild our infrastructure. The difference is we are saying it because it makes sense; not because we know Labor will never oblige, or to score cheap political points.

Maybe we should view this crisis as a reason to go a step further to restructure all our water resources’, building new dams, levy banks and to accomplish what has been sought since federation - flood and drought proofing of our country.

It is time for leadership and investment in to the future of our great country. Will we get that from the major parties? We believe there will be the usual finger pointing and posturing but ultimately the Australian taxpayer will once again pay for the major parties waste and incompetence.

Lib/Nats deceive public in MDBP debate

It is time to call a spade a spade and One Nation wants to say outright that the public and Irrigators are being deceived by the Liberal/National Coalition.

The Murray Darling Plan is based on the 2007 Water Act. This act passed by the Coalition during the Howard years does not take the livelihoods of growers and irrigators into consideration nor does it concern itself with the future of the towns along the system. If anything the environment is the only issue mentioned. Reeking of the stench of the UN agenda 21, the same treaty that brought you the Native Vegetation Act, it flies straight in the face of common sense and damns all those who built their lives along the river.

While the Labor government have taken the issue a lot further and seem intent on driving a nail into the coffin of Australian agriculture the blame has to lie with those that set the ball rolling. It has to be understood that both Labor and Liberal Party supported UN agenda 21. Labor passed the treaty in 1992 and Liberal did not rescind it during their years in power. Instead they chose to use it as the basis of their 2007 Water act. Both Labor and the Coalition have signed thousands of treaties with the UN and many of them have taken away this country’s sovereignty.

One Nation urge all those interested to look up and verify this information as it is easily found online. When you realise that our growers and their communities have been sold out it will confirm what we have been saying for some time now, it is time to end the” two party duopoly” and return this country to being the proud democracy it once was.

Media release QLD floods

Julia Gillard and the Australian Labor party should hang their heads in shame for the offer of $1 million dollars to Queensland’s flood victims. With thousands of homes destroyed and crops in ruin it must be a real slap in the face for Queenslanders to be offered such a paltry sum.

Billions of dollars each year are sent offshore in foreign aid and government sponsored programs including 500 million for Indonesian schools, but very little has been put forward for this “once in 100 year” flood. This act only confirms what One Nation has been saying for some time now. Our politicians are more concerned about their image on the international stage then the welfare and livelihoods of Australian citizens.

Yes it is a global village and the world is a much smaller place due to technology but One Nation says charity must start at home and our government’s duty of care is with the Australian taxpayer not citizens from foreign shores.
