Like most Australians, you’d be concerned at the direction our country is taking. Just as concerning is the fact that Labor and the Coalition are not only doing nothing about it, they loath to acknowledge it is something they can, or should address. They talk about Australia being the ‘food bowl’ for Asia, while running our rural industries into the ground. They slavishly ‘spruik’ the open market
mantra, while all other countries have market entry restricted, as they see necessary. They and many of our industry representative bodies are in the hands of multi-nationals and have no interest in protecting Australian jobs and the opportunities available to our children and future generations. The jobs aren’t there. Talk to their parents, and you’ll know the companies which offered those jobs in business management, marketing and HR, no longer have offices outside Sydney or Melbourne, if they exist at all. Now even jobs in the education and health sectors are scarce. And that is why:
It’s time for a new kind of government
- Do you want government to continue ignoring our huge loss of jobs in manufacturing?
- Do you want your assets sold to create a monopoly which will charge you a ‘fortune’ for their use?
- Do you want Kevin, Julia or Tony’s idea of a ‘level playing field’, or do you want a fair playing field for all in Australia?
- Do you want government to continue to throw money at problems (eg, education) when it’s not the solution?
- Do you want our environment managed according to science, or a political agenda?
- Do you want our rural sector to collapse, our farmers to abandon the land, and our nation to depend on imported food?
- Do you want government run by failed bureaucrats or the best brains at our country’s disposal? Labor and Liberal, no matter who their leader, will give us more of the same, (with slight variations on a predictable theme), just as they’ve done for the last decade. It’s time for a new kind of government. A government of substance, not ‘spin’. Bob Katter and his team, with the ‘balance of power’ will:
1. Mandate premium shelf space in Coles, Woolworths and Aldi for Australian grown and processed foods.
2. Mandate all government cars will be Australian made if ‘fit for purpose’
3. Stop the sale of public assets.
4. Introduce and apply the right KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) to the performance assessment and remuneration of all bureaucrat managers.
5. Education reform to support better PD and remuneration of Principals and Teachers linked to the results they produce over time with regard to the students they teach.
6. Eliminate the Carbon Tax, prevent an emissions trading scheme and promote the efficient use of biofuels and carbon reduction technologies.
7. End to the ‘Nanny State’. Katter’s Australian Party has a strong team of candidates, who with the ‘balance of power’ and the strength of public opinion, will produce the new kind of government that our country so desperately needs. We, Katter’s Australian Party feel that an open dialogue between ourselves and members of the general public is beneficial to truly understanding the needs of our great nation.
