i also saw the 'address to the nation' and noted with dismay
that it was propaganda for the gst and am outraged
but i am more outraged that ozians didn't stand up in droves and say - NO
GST - the primary vote said it but we obviously needed to shout it
because the libs didn't hear 'us'
the last address to the nation had a response from beazley although i
note that an indigenous request to reply was refused:
'under the particular protocol of Prime Ministerial addresses to the
nation and the right of reply by the Leader of the Opposition,
established over time and reflected in the ABC's Editorial Policies, Mr
Djerrkura was refused equal time"
it would seem that this time, no replies are 'permitted' - call it what u
are confortable with, but fascist comes to my mind
suggestion:
that we encourage a national reply
we draft a letter to canvas positions from (suggest orgs and individuals)
or research what they have already said
combine the information and remind the libs and the nation, that the
population said NO GST in the election
find out what can be done when the government goes against the wishes of
the people
'elect' a representative then engage the media
i don't want to leave a tax of this type to our children - it has not
worked in any country so far so why flog dead horses (nothing against
horses)
i guess that an alternative model would be useful - so if anyone knows of
one :)
