ALP and LNP Must Both Be Sacked At Election 2019

Drain The Canberra Swamp In 2019

Well once again we are in the middle of an election campaign and even though nearly everyone is pissed off with the major parties some are still going to vote ALP or LNP ..... WHY?? Both should struggle to get a 30% primary vote. They do not deserve your support ...... or your vote.

Over the years the major parties have conclusively demonstrated they are not fit to run a chook raffle let alone the lives and businesses of Aussies.

What have we repeatedly seen? Corruption, incompetence, treachery, stupidity, lack of ethics, back stabbing, perk rorting, expenses rip offs, collusion with big business & unions, deception, dodgy trade deals, undermining our rights, freedoms and Constitution. While pollies fiddle our people are burning trying to deal with housing becoming unaffordable, rising incidence of anxiety & depression, shocking suicide rates, terrible youth unemployment and underemployment on a wide but hidden scale ..... and of course stagnant wages with a rising cost of living.

It's a nightmare what politicians and the major parties have done to our great country. It does not have to be like this but a politician will never tell you the truth. The country's wealth is being stolen. With sensible reforms we could satisfy our needs with possibly half the hours of paid work required now. That's how much we are being screwed.

We are falling into a trap if we think choosing between two almost identical parties every three years will solve our problems. If a pollie's own family and colleagues can't trust them why should we?

The main problem is the people and country are being robbed .... and it's an inside job.

Divisions based on superficial differences only serves our enemy. United we stand. We must not let the elite divide us with divisive political strategies and manipulation. We are all people with very similar needs. Colour, sex, religion, class, age are irrelevant. The elite "rulers" want us fighting amongst each other so they can continue controlling politics while they fleece us.
 
BRN does not trust any of the major parties. We feel it's best to judge politicians on their actions not their words.

It is very clear where the LNP stands

For example - they supported the banks and bankers. What you see is what you get. There are several reasons for this. The obvious one is they support the top end of town no matter what. The less obvious one is they don't want "bank bashing" to get to a point where the system suffers, credit tightens, unemployment rises and Australia suffers another crash. Bankers can cause these outcomes one way or another ..... and some pollies realise the banks can abuse that power to serve their interests ....... and that the bankers don't care if their actions have political ramifications.
 
A crash is likely quite soon regardless what anyone does - therefore BRN campaigns for systemic change .... preferably before the crash. The system is unfairly structured. Both parties support it .... as does the legal fraternity. Both parties get donations from banks and other big corporate or union sources. It is now blatantly obviously that donation reform is critical ... but that's another story for later.
 
One of the very first steps toward systemic change is proper remediation for bank victims followed by appropriate punishment for the bankers perpetrating crimes and misconduct. Six years we've been calling for it and what seemed radical back then is almost self evident today.

As for the ALP - what you see is often not what you get. Talk is cheap. Let's look at actions.

Number one - we should remember that it was Labor Prime Minister Keating who sold our National Bank - the Commonwealth Bank. There is a significant backstory to this and it should be taught in school. Pigs will fly by the time we see that.
 
The ALP only came around on supporting the a banking Royal Commission in 2016. The environment had changed - in very large part thanks to gutsy journalist Adele Ferguson and brave whistleblower Jeff  Morris .... and of course well organised & targeted activism. The push was not politician driven. Some did jump in earlier than others. LNP Senator John Williams had been a longtime advocate for bank victims.
 
Prior to 2016 the ALP opposed a banking Royal Commission. From 2007 to 2013 the ALP in power not only presided over many of the worst legacy cases of bank abuse they did bugger all to effectively stop the rot and bring justice to victims.
 
Worse still - mid 2018 - the ALP Senators opposed the extension of the Royal Commission. Six weeks after that - thanks to public pressure - the call to extend it was passed .... BUT only because no ALP or LNP Senator dared to oppose ... still - as before - NONE of them actually voted for it.
 
Also it is critical to note the major parties - including the Greens - voted to pass the bank bail in laws. This was a secretive maneuver that gave APRA powers to facilitate banks taking citizens' bank deposits and super savings. It was only discovered thanks to research from (minor party) CEC. Only seven Senators were in the chamber to pass that bill.

We also see the major parties hindering the Bank Separation (Aussie Glass-Steagall) bill's progress (... also a CEC initiative).
 
Now - the ALP is going to an election promising compensation and legal assistance for some bank victims. Check the fine print. These "promised" proposals are so weak that they should not distract and divert voters' attention from the main game ..... full and proper remediation. You don't get that with a capped system. Bankers want caps ... victims don't. We're not going to detail all the issues with these proposals (enriching a few junior lawyers will help no one). Some may think it's a start to bigger and better things. That is highly unlikely.

Independents & minor parties might just save Australia

Many people have decided to stand as an independent or with a minor party. It's a tough job and takes a fair amount of guts. People really should consider supporting these candidates >> SEE HERE

One NSW Senate candidate - Carolyn Thomson - is working on a plan involving an amnesty for bankers who admit to misconduct and bring remediation to customers. This could be a breakthrough for settling legacy cases. This opportunity can be seized right now if enough people support her.
 
The idea many people are focused on now is getting decent people into parliament that aren't connected to a major party. If they are good candidates we should consider helping them regardless of their minor party status. Please check out the candidates that support real reform. This is our best chance ever to shake up the two party phony democracy.
 
BRN sent emails to many candidates asking their views on six policies. We reported the results and advise people to do their own research. We don't support parties. We look at policies and how best to get the Prime Minister from whichever party to assist putting them in place. It's bold - it's different - and it just might work. We must try something new as what's been happening for the last 30 years has certainly not worked. We've seen our country sold off ... and sold out! We are seeing horrific rates of suicide and family breakdown. Something is wrong with countries that allow the world's elite to rob their people.
 
Good policies and reforms are not rocket science. Federal ICAC / Whistleblower protections & compensation / political donation & advertising reform / a sovereign  wealth fund / a national bank etc. All could have been seriously investigated and implemented by either major party many times, over many years. They don't want these policies for various reasons and if they offer up something similar it will be a watered down version ..... just like the banking Royal Commission. Pollies appear to require being dragged kicking and screaming toward policies that are in the interests of citizens and the country.
 
Maybe people that are not chained to a party platform and dependent on loyalty to the party for their career prospects would do better. Don't forget that post-politics retirement planning influences the decisions party leaders make. You don't get a high paying position on corporate boards when you leave politics for nothing.

Perhaps the more free thinking people voted into the Parliament working together the better. They can best assist in getting good policy onto the table for discussion and then implementation. Surely it's worth a try.

We need as many people as possible maintaining the pressure toward sensible reforms. You can help by sharing this information and please note - the Senate Candidates cannot man every polling station in their electorates. They need you to go to polling places and give them support. Contact them to see how and where they need your help. Contact Database link is below.
 
See the link below showing which candidates in the 2019 Election support good policy. Choose wisely. On the Senate ballot paper (big white one) vote below the line for more than 12 candidates and push the major parties way down. In the House of Reps (small green ballot paper) - number all squares - major parties last.
