To make an informed decision at the Queensland polling booth on March 24, take time to view this video, as should all Australia.
Realiasation as to the very serious situation our nation has been placed from decades of dedication to both major political parties by voters, leaves very little time for salvation of the Australia our forefathers made free to the people.

Dear employees,
As the CEO of this organisation. I have resigned myself to the fact that Julia Gillard is our Prime Minister, and that our insurance costs, taxes, and government fees have increased and obviously will continue to increase in a BIG way after the carbon tax is introduced. This is the Labour way.
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by at least 10 percent.
But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off 60 employees.
This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here, and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did.
I walked through our parking lot and found 60 bumper stickers displayed on employee’s cars, saying either “Vote Labour”, “Kevin 07” or “Bring in Carbon Tax”.
The board has decided the owners of these cars are the ones we will let go.
We can’t think of a fairer way to approach this problem. They voted for change… and now they are getting it..
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.
The Boss.
Gillard’s work is done
Alan Jones interviews journalist Piers Akerman over the February 2012 release of documents delivered to all Australian senators, who now cannot say they were unaware, revealing the Queensland Labor Government cover-up of the 1992 retired magistrate Oscar Hiener inquiry into a juvinile Aboriginal girl being gang raped while in custody at a Brisbane Youth Detention Centre.
The labor government within weeks of the inquiry receiving power to perform, shut it down.
This involved not only the government, but police and right up to the Governor General, Quentin Bryce (a lawyer), now Australian Governor General.
Taking 1% or 100% of this paper leaves chill how “Sheeple Voters” have deliver public servants total powers to remove democracy from Australia. Originating in the USA, this government game play aligns with DOWNUNDER agenda enforced under both Liberal and Labor governments networking the UN Agenda-21 … Originally published by SOS-NEWS Oct 30 2010.

The Hon. Ms. Kate Jones has now abandoned her portfolio as Queensland Minister for the Environment and resource Management, but before leaving she has attempted to win votes and influence people by offering incentives to the Tourism Industry this includes allowing tour operators to move from three-year permits to 15-year agreements, but operators are worried that the costs of new best practice might hit their bottom line. The ex Minister has also established an enforcement unit to crack down on environmental
vandals and investigate breaches of the law.
At a cost of more than $27 million dollars these enforcers will audit businesses and sites across Queensland, but perhaps the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) would be better off auditing their own management practices before embarking on a crusade to save the State.
The government has an abysmal record of managing National Parks none more evident than the degradation of Fraser Island..
An internal report by the University of the Sunshine Coast (2009) on the water quality of Fraser Island found contamination in the ground water to be of serious concern and management action required.
The perched lake system is also under threat by overcrowding and inadequate infrastructure.
Marine debris washes up along the shoreline and mixed with human waste is left to rot.
The iconic Fraser Island dingo is constantly harassed, trapped and treated inhumanely and unethically by DERM rangers.
This is just one example of environmental neglect by the current Queensland government.
So who is auditing the auditors? Who are the real environmental vandals? Perhaps those millions could be better spent cleaning up the governments own environmental mess?
Queenslanders are somewhat inured to the extremes of the 20 year old neo-fascist Labor regime headed by Anna Bligh, a descendant of the infamous Captain Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame.
As small business, large companies, electricity users, farmers, transport, homeowners and just about everyone else was buckling under the stupidity and largesse of the government, Bligh announced an election for March 24.
Great sighs of relief were heard from as far away as Darwin.
The latest addition to the ALP’s 80,000 pages of bureaucratic red tape was not the expected attack on gun owners, but pocket knife users.
Pocket knives, cane knives, kitchen knives and in fact just about anything used for cutting now comes under category M in the Weapons Act which requires a license if you carry them on your person or in your vehicle.
And guess what? The ALP didn’t win the Annual Asinine Gong unaided. The vacuous Liberal party supported the amended regulations by voting with the ALP in Parliament before Christmas.
Notably all the independents opposed the amendments.
The reaction in some parts of Queensland has been rather, shall we say, at best, contemptuous of politicians with outright public displays of total defiance in local newspapers and talkback radio.
One courageous Atherton Tablelands newspaper, the district in which Bob Katter unleashed news of the ALP/LNP regulations, published numerous letters and photos of law-abiding Vietnam Vets brandishing their heirloom pocket knives, telling the ALP/LNP to “come get em.”
Such is the rarity of politics in Queensland. Katters Australian Party, with 65 excellent candidates is set to wipe out the ALP in every regional seat and take many seats from the languishing Liberals, headed by a former Brisbane Lord Mayor who as yet has no seat in Parliament.
Some at the big end of town are worried that Mr Abbott may keep his solemn promise to repeal the carbon tax. No doubt they and their smart lawyers fear losing the clever green schemes that rely on ripping off tax payers, consumers and other businesses.
Australia’s wealth and jobs have always rested on three legs – mining and farming, making and processing things, and rich foreigners; in short, resources, manufacturing, and money from tourists and investors.
The Gillard carbon tax will white-ant all three legs.
Mining and farming rely on draglines, dozers, scrapers, trains, trucks, bulk carriers, tractors, generators, pumps and machines of all kinds. All need cheap reliable energy. Their energy comes from diesel fuel or coal powered electricity. A tax on carbon will sap their energy and reduce their ability to generate jobs and national wealth.
Our processing and manufacturing industries rely on cheap electricity produced from our marvellous deposits of coal and natural gas. Greens have demonised these national assets and their carbon tax will undermine all Australian industries. Investors always look ahead. Already the threat of a carbon tax has reduced the asset value of every base load power station in Australia. Already one of the biggest, running on Victorian brown coal, is reporting financial stress and may close. We cannot run steel works, refineries or big cities on sunbeams and sea breezes.

Australia is remote from most of the world, and tourists must travel vast distances to get here. They need planes, trains, ships, buses and cars, all powered by carbon energy from petrol, diesel or gas. The carbon tax will strike at the heart of this industry. Harassed by the carbon footprint harpies, tourists may choose to stay home and go camping in their own backyards.
Finally, Australia is leading the world with the most onerous and widely applied carbon tax. This is already deterring the foreign investors who for generations have risked their savings to create businesses and jobs in Australia. Even now, the threat of a carbon tax is increasing capital shortage and debt stress in Australia.
There is no good news in the carbon tax story – no climate benefits, no real jobs and more costs for consumers. And it is white-anting the three legs supporting the Australian economy.
Unlike the big end of town, thinking Australians are worried that Mr Abbott may renege on his solemn promise to repeal the carbon tax
That would really leave Australia powerless and legless in the global storms.
