What is the Vision?

I can't quite believe how brazenly this dishonest Liberal Party is imposing their ideology on Australian irrespectively of weather it is good for the country, or not. Is that a vision for the country? Screwing the environmental controls, every one? Suggesting Christianity should be imposed on Australian education? Pissing off our closest neighbours with their own conservative fear mongering form of political racism? Screwing over renewable energy development for the mining industry? Giving us an inferior broadband network to keep Rupert Murdoch happy? Attacking those on welfare while giving the rich hand outs like expensive parental payments? Seriously, giving couples marriage counselling vouches which is, essentially, the imposition of their Christian beliefs by stealth. The vouchers to do what exactly? Putting men who have contracts with the government in charge of the Commission of audit of government policy? Cutting the taxes on the rich and most likely increasing the GST? Probably giving that over-wealthy Rinehart woman wages reduction for her (foreign) workers, or mining leases in pristine countryside where there will no longer be any environmental controls. Mr Rabbit said he’d take it up to the Japanese over whaling and he’s met the Japanese twice and said nothing … the list goes on… 

Medicare. If Medicare is costing more, raise the Medicare levy, the rich pay more, the poor pay less, the way it should be. Don't introduce a flat tax that is inherently more expensive for people on lower incomes.


The aim of government is surely to make society fairer and more equitable for everybody and yet so many of the policies of the Abbott Liberal Government do the exact opposite. It is as if their intention is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
