proud to be australian?
lately the federal government has been doing some very incredibly offensive things to the public of australia, and the world. for instance, this whole stance on "we reserve the right to engage in pre-emptive military strikes" upon any other nation, within our region, and that sort of bullshit. as well as participating with the united states, in blowing up more than 100,000 citizens in iraq, for a bit more oil.
on the domestic front, john howard and his liberal government (the fact that the word "liberal" is the party name is a total oxymoron, when in truth the liberal party is an ultra-right wing-conservative-neo-fascist group, much like the dick'n'bush club in america) have basically gone backwards on their core campaign promises to the australian people. first, they sent more troops to iraq to kill people. second, they raised the federal interest rates. third, they have further manipulated and damaged medicare (the socialized medical system of the country) in favor of private medical insurance, and believe me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this system. i was a cancer patient that was part of the medicare system, i have come out the other side, healthy and fit. there is nothing wrong with it. john howard and his liberal cronies have sold more of a the public phone company to private investors. they have continued to raise the fees of univesity education, meanwhile being forced to import skilled labourers from overseas to combat the lack of skilled citizens. this liberal government continues to take tax payer money and fund private religious schools (who already charge exhorbitant tuition) rather than fund the public school system adequately. this government has kept refugees seeking assylum incarcerated for over 3 1/2 years without processing them. many of these people are children under the age of 12. all this despite geneva convention codes of conduct. john howard has also refused to sign the kyoto protocol, irregardless of the fact that the island continent of australia is the worlds third largest forest destroyer. this liberal government is also neglecting to recognize the rights and needs of the aboriginal peoples and traditional land keepers of this country.
these are only a few of the incredible offending policies this liberal government promotes. they may be total self centered assholes, whose only concern is lining their own pockets with more money and power, but i am not as upset with them as i am with the idiot people that keep re-electing this bunch of fascist fucks. the last election 6 months ago, was the fourth time! it goes to show that the australian public on a whole, are mean people. to continually elect a government that repeatedly lies with no regret to its citizens and has no regard for human life, the environment, or the welfare of it's own people, is totally insane. you want to know the most ironic thing about the last time the country went to election? the sole reason that little shit head midget john howard was re-elected was because he promised to the (selfish) australian public he would not raise interest rates, and the australian public (neck deep in debt) bought it! well, john howard and his cronnies raised the interest rates with talk of further hikes. now the working class citizens are deeper in debt, and still the little fucker is at the helm... i no longer have sympathy for them.
