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.
