" Aussie the Nanny State ".

( Me at my place )

I am coming out and proudly declaring the following:
1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European decent!

2. I am heterosexual!

3. Although not religious I tend to believe in the so-called Christian values and beliefs!

Subject: " Aussie the Nanny state ".

Information from: ABS,Government Departments,Wikipedia,various media and The

Political Sword, Ken Wolff ( http://www.thepoliticalsword.com/author/Ken-Wolff).

Donald Trump the USA President Elect.

People before I go on to discuss my main topic I must say something about the

childish,sulky,immature and petulant behaviour that is being shown by our Aussie
media, which ofcourse includes the like's of the ABC ( TV & Radio ), SBS and even

Chanel 9 NBN, New England to name but a few, where they take every opportunity

to find fault with the up and coming, soon to be announced Trump Administration,
where because Trump did not collapse in a heap, as they predicted, they are out

to try and prove that the multi-millions of USA voters that voted for Trump were/are
just a bunch of idiots and this is why?? how bloody elitist and insulting is that, and

ofcourse just confirms to the masses just what Trump has been stating that the

media in general and across the board cannot be trusted!!

Therefore is it any wonder people across the world are walking away in droves from

watching (TV) listening (Radio) or reading news print in regard to the major media

and ratings and readers are on the decline at a rapid rate.

Unless Trump goes the same way as J.F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby Kennedy

and is assassinated, which is on the cards with the amount of nutcases the USA

turns out, then Trump is the President and the world elite should get used to it
because it is obvious that Trump is not your typical gutless pollie that can be

intimidated that we have become used to, and as this type of, shall we say Trump

like politics, is gaining momentum around the world where not millions but billions

of people are finally rebelling against the elite, political or otherwise, and political

correctness, and not before time in my view.

Teflon Billy Shorten the Federal Labor Opposition Leader, Union Heavyweight,

homosexual advocate, now an exponent of a Tax Payer funded theory of the
Labor Party's " Magic Pudding Economics " plus an alleged " Rapist " of his

alleged victim Kathy a then (16) year old vulnerable Labor Youth Camp girl

in the early 1980's.

Well people Donald Trump getting elected has certainly put a " Rocket up Teflon

Billy's pathetic little arse " who appears to have had a " Road to Damascus sudden

turning point in his current political life ???" and decided maybe instead of devoting

so much time to the ' Wedge Politics " for the like's of " Gay Marriage " and keeping

unwanted so-called asylum seekers out for life, he had better start concerning

himself in regard to what his core supporters require most ie; Jobs, Jobs and even

more jobs and consider putting extra requirements on employers in regard to the

457 temporary work visas.

But ofcourse just like Teflon Billy's hypocritical attitude in regard to Trump and his

attitude to women, the pot calling the kettle black so to speak, I gather Teflon Billy
during his term of 2012-2013 as Employment Minister in the last Labor government

granted some 68,481 Primary Visas??? yep well done Teflon you shot yourself in the

foot again?? I know it is a fact of life that the majority of Aussies do not trust pollies

and in my view history sounds loud in that regard!! but this bloke Teflon Billy Shorten

historically takes first prize when it comes to being an untrustworthy hypocrite!!

Ok " Aussie the Nanny state ".

Medieval Times.

As part of our Aussie archaic,antiquated and medieval parliamentary system our

Aussie Governor General at the time, as a representative of the English King or
Queen whoever the monarch happens to be at the time?( in theory, because the PM

of the day in fact recommends the potential Parliamentary Ministers ) appoints

Ministers,establishes departments of state and agencies, and allocates responsibility

among Ministers through an Administration Arrangements Order (AAO).

A portfolio is a Minister's area of responsibility as a member of Cabinet. As a general

rule, there is one department in each portfolio.

Now people we are constantly reminded by our federal pollies across the political

spectrum the need to bring our nations budget back to a surplus, and therefore we

must expect unavoidable cut backs across the board in governments spending if we

are to leave a brighter financial future for our kids.

Now I am only discussing the federal government situation which does not include

any duplication or triplication when taking into account the 100's of Aussie Local
governments or the (6) state and territories governments.

Now I have stated many times in various mike's comments that anyone from the

Aussie Governor General down, including us old age pensioners, that pays so-called

tax on the real Tax Payers payers funds we receive is 'NOT' paying tax per sa but

just giving the real Tax Payer a ' Refund "!! so when these high flying pollies and

public servants inform you to the contrary?? tell them ' Rubbish ' and suggest they

go and get a real job in the real world.

In federal parliament we have (18) departments: Attorney General, Agriculture &

Water,Communications & Arts,Defence, Education & Training, Employment,Finance,

Foreign Affairs & Trade,Health, Health Services,Immigration& Border Protection,

Industry,Innovation& Science,Infrastructure & Regional Development,Social Services,

Environment & Energy,Prime Minister & Cabinet,Veterans Affairs,Treasury.

Now ofcourse each Department requires a Minister/Cabinet Minister pay ranging from

$308,000 to say $340,000, the PM say $508,000, Deputy PM say $400,000 plus the

Opposition Leader at say $370,000 plus nights away tax free travel allowance to

Canberra, their place of work after all. from $273.00 per night and where Ministers
can have a tax deductable private investment home in Canberra, and there is a great
heap of pollies that do it, and still claim at least a $1000.00 per week plus travel
allowance to Canberra while staying there.

For official business:

Unlimited business class domestic flights,car with driver,overseas fares,transport,

hospitality, meals, accommodation, advance for travel expences, any other related

expenses such as passport fees,medical requirements and the list just goes on.

What about " Family Travel " where all MP's can have (9) business class trips to

Canberra for partner and (3) kids plus (3) business class trips interstate for

partner and kids ? they probably stay in their investment homes when they are all

in Canberra just add to insult to injury.

Now on top of all this Tax Payer expense we have a small army of bureaucrats

which are referred to as Departmental Secretaries and it would appear they are far

more important, if we base importance and value on what a person is paid, because

just their basic salaries range from $814,000 pa to some $861,000 pa, plus bonuses,

superannuation,Plus, Plus and Plus not doubt government drivers, secretaries plus
100's if 1000's of plebbs to do their bidding where even Deputy/Assistants basic
wages range from $198,000 to say 369,000 pa Plus, Plus, Plus!!

Tony Abbott Ex Aussie PM.

Joe Hockey Ex Aussie Treasurer.

Now ofcourse all the above is just slightly scratching the surface of what we Aussie

hard done by, financial stretched Tax Payers have to pay for in the way of federal

taxes, both direct and indirect ie; GST for instance, fees and charges,and ofcourse

this is what both Tony Abbott the Ex Aussie PM and Joe Hockey the Ex Aussie

Treasurer, where trying to reduce when they took office in 2013 and look what
happened to them? both dumped for their troubles!! just shows us how powerful

these bureaucrats are!!

But wait dear readers there is more, much more!

I am more than sure that the average Aussie Tax Payer does not have a clue just

how many public servants they should put down as " Dependents " on their annual

tax return.

Over and above the aforementioned plethora and overabundance of very expensive

advice and assistance the Aussie Tax Payers are funding, a further 192 statutory

federal agencies which would cover every political correct and otherwise facet of the

average Aussies lives in this world class ' Nanny state of Aussie '.

Starting in alphabetical order with the ABC - Australian Broadcasting Corporation

down to the ' Workplace Gender Equality Agency ' and it is this ' WGE Agency ' I
want to discuss for no particular reason other than I witnessed the Director Libby
Lyons 

on the ABC giving a speech/talk on " Gender Equality " at the National Press
Club 

on the 16/11/2016.

Ms Libby Lyons, Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency.

Now Ms. Lyons comes with an impressive pedigree in more ways than one as she

is the granddaughter of Dame Enid Lyons and former Aussie Prime Minister Joseph

Lyons.

Ms Lyons started of as a primary school teacher and previously headed BHP Billiton's

corporate affairs for it's Olympic Dam Project, GM of External Affairs at Atlas Iron,

Senior Public Affairs roles with CITIC Pacific Mining, Alcoa Australia,Western Power

Corporation and recently the Executive Chairman of the Perth-based disability

charity Kalparrin and was appointed by the Aussie Governor General to a (5) year

contract as from last October 2015 as the Director of the WGE Agency.

Now if you take into consideration the bureaucratic " Fat Cats " mentioned above,

and I am in no way suggesting Ms Lyons is fat physically the expression is purely

metaphorical, then surely with that background Ms Lyons would come with a very

expensive tag plus benefits? say $400-500,000 pa plus ? bonuses.

I gather Ms Lyons has a staff of some (27) headed by the following:

Operations Executive Manager.

Research and Analytics Executive Manager.
Advice and Reporting Executive Manager.

Strategy and Engagement Executive Manager.

Well Aussie Tax Payers I bet you are coping a fair old wage bill here? a Director
plus (4) high powered, expensive? Executives for a staff of only (27) ? I wonder
if " Per Capita " the like's of BHP, Coles or Woolworths have so many high
powered and obviously expensive Executives?? however I doubt it they have
voluntary ' Share Holders ' where this mob and all government departments and
agencies across the political spectrum have perpetual share holders referred to

as Tax Payers where they are " Go to jail and don't pass go and collect a $200.00
fine " type shareholders if they refuse to contribute!!

Monopoly - this is how the Aussie pollies plus these highly remunerated bureaucrats
administer the Aussie nations economy ? or at least they might as well do.

Let's take a brief look at the function of this ' Workplace Gender Equality Agency '.

The WGEA is an Australian Governments statutory agency created by the Workplace

Gender Equality Act 2012. It provides employers with advice,practical tools and
education to help them improve gender equality. Non-public sector employers with

100 or more staff are required to report to the agency annually, between 1 April -

31 May against six gender equality indicators:

GEl 1 - gender composition of the workforce.
GEl 2 - gender composition of governing bodies of relevant employers.

GEl 3 - equal remuneration between women and men.
GEl 4 - availability and utility of employment terms, conditions and practices relating

to flexible working arrangements for employees and to working arrangements
supporting employees with family or caring responsibilities.
GEl 5 - consolation with employees on issues concerning gender equality in the

workplace.

Gel 6 - any other matters specified by the Minister: sex-based harassment and

discrimination.

If I was still an employer I would ensure that my work force did not exceed (98)

employees because this is just ' Political Correctness ' gone nuts, and is it any

wonder that more and more Aussie businesses, enterprises and organisations
are moving offshore as it is becoming just to expensive to do business in Aussie.

This is just ' Quotas ' by stealth which now is just between males and females,

however if the Loopy Left Labor mob get into power the next thing will be
companies must employee so many lesbians, gays, bi-sexual, transgender and let
them use the female toilets and change rooms, and they must be gender neutral
when referred to or approached, and they must be allowed to wear what clothing,
including uniforms they wish.

How sick and just way over the top is life becoming in Aussie currently where life

has or is becoming out of control based on the once daily treasured social
standards and values, yet at the same time being bureaucratically stifled and
suffocated with just more ideological political correctness.

This is the sort of very expensive bureaucratic political correctness that has, and
still is, stifling and suffocating innovation and investment in the USA and that is why
there has been the political backlash by multi-millions of Americans with the like's of
Trump,and where Americans now realise that unless this crap is not reined in then
even more USA business will go off shore where it does not exist,and as a result the
cost of production is lowered accordingly.

Another prime example is the backlash against the political and otherwise elite with
the UK Brexit, and the far right across Europe, Netherlands and here with at least
40% of Aussie voters putting their first preference votes to minor parties, and the
Labor Party and the greenies becoming severely side lined and impotent in the
Senate, with the Turnbull LNP being able to negotiate and get their legislation
through with the help of the cross bench minor parties!!

What is the point of having a very expensive government agency like the WGEA who

are nothing more in reality than a bunch of very expensive Tax Payer funded
bureaucratic" Bean Counters " and " Statisticians " who are now putting a further

extra impost on businesses, who are already over burdened with local, state and

federal red/green tape effecting valuable employee time, loss of productivity and

non-recoverable costs and considering the following employment circumstances in

Aussie, and which having been an employer for some 35 - 40 years I can assure
pollies,bureaucrats across the political spectrum and local,state and federal

governments, that this sought of burden will make employers think long and hard

about employing females, and as such could be detrimental to so-called " Gender
Equality ".

1. With modern technology there is an ever diminishing job market from executive,

and senior supervisory management right down the employment chain effecting

all sectors of the economy - retail, mining,warehousing,transport,accounting,law,

IT, banking, financial services, the media - TV,Radio, manufacturing that is down

to about 52% of the nations capacity, and print and the list goes on,plus
outsourcing Aussie jobs overseas.

We have University graduates that have degrees in Law, Economics, Business
Management, Financial services even medicine, and again the list goes on, who are

driving taxis and doing menial jobs in the tourist, accommodation, security-as

in guards, hospitality - waiters, kitchen hands, bar attendants, cleaners etc; WHY?

   Well the jobs just ain't available and it is estimated, by those that seemingly know,

that many students studying for degrees across the academic board now may find

that their degrees will be obsolete by the time they graduate?? certainly within the

next (10 ) years or less, that is how fast things are changing!!

2. Of the 705,000 unemployed, 169,000 are classed as unemployed for 12 months

or more which is 24% of the unemployed.

3. The September 2016 full time employment figures are seemingly the lowest since

June 2015 with 102,000 people losing their full time jobs, where at the same time

part time jobs increased by 162,800 but as these figures could include the people

working one hour per week the hours may not be significant.

4. There is about 9% or 979,900 of those employed partime who would prefer more

hours which if we combine the underemployed with the unemployed we would
have something like 1,760.900 people not able to fully contribute to the Aussie
economy.

5. Aussie has now the third highest partime workforce in the OECD being 32% of

those employed, therefore this must be having a great effect on our economy

and contributing to deflation with less money circulating and reduced purchases

by a large section of our work force? and essentially only and then on the already
maxed out credit card, adding to one of the worlds largest domestic debts of

1.5 trillion dollars and climbing, and fast approaching our Aussie annual GNP

of say 2.5 trillion dollars.

6. The monthly hours worked for September/October 2016 in all jobs increased 3.2
million hours to 1668.0 million hours yet wages have/are flat lining which ofcourse

could mean, and probably does, that people are working longer hours for no extra

pay just to hang onto their jobs, therefore what do you reckon the chances are of

a female going to the boss under these circumstances and demanding gender
equality for anything let alone a pay increase??.

I have not picked out Ms Lyons and her Workplace Gender Equality Agency for no

other reason than after seeing her on the ABC at the National Press Club Luncheon
on the 16/11/16 giving a speech on Gender Equality, I believe Ms Lyons was really
trying to justify the existence of her very expensive Tax Payer funded Agency, and
as such may have done so to the majority of the female audience, being in Canberra

probably most were sympathetic Public Servants, they love this sort of PC stuff!!

however being an ex business man of some many decades I sincerely believe any

business men, viewing/listening, who after all one way or the other would pickup

the tab for this " Political Correctness gone nuts " just roll their eyes and maintain

that this would be just another lot of bureaucratic red/green tape and yet another

nail in their financial and profitability coffin, and where moving the business offshore

is looking like a very much more profitable proposition.

Now I could go on because by not only referring to the acknowledgements I mention
at the top there is so much more information available to show just how the average
Aussie Tax Payer and citizen is being led by the nose, so to speak, and that all this
ideological, very expensive Tax Payer funded political correctness is in the interest
of all Aussie citizens, and it is quite clearly not and the saying that " The Majority

Rules with the Minority in mind " has been put well and truly into the garbage, and

Aussies have been lulled into a false sense of security with our now stifling and

suffocating bureaucratic " Nanny State " where we are more and more being told, not
asked, what we must do, say, and to whom, how we must say it, how often so as not

to offend, we must sacrifice our social, personal and valued beliefs for the good of
the communities so-called harmony, and if not then there are laws to punish us with
quite severe penalties both financially and restricting our freedom even more by

imprisonment.

People I never thought I would live to see such a proud nation like Aussie that have

bravely sacrificed it's human capital in the shape of our brave men and women of
our military, as we currently potentially do and have done down the ages, to sustain
not only the Aussie peoples freedom, but the rest of the world as well, to now us as

a nation having our long standing social and individual personal values being
dismissed as irrelevant to this modern multi-cultural society that has been forced
upon us, and brought us to our knees as a result of the ideological political elite and
the bureaucratic stifling and suffocating of ' Political Correctness '.

Aussie,as the facts show wherever you look, is not being driven by good sound
policy and good governance, but short term self interest politics, which again
wherever you look the evidence is clear that the country is fast going down the
chute, financially with domestic and national debt ballooning out where our GNP
is hardly likely to be able to pay for, leaving our future generations up " Shit creek
without a paddle ", our moral and social standards and culture that has made Aussie
what it is to this point in time at least, is under serious threat mainly because of this
" Political Correctness" which is like a cancer eating away at our previously tried
and true cultural foundations and our social and community valued ethics.

Multi-culturism which was once an assist to Aussie and where currently it is becoming
a threat, and where it once embraced and enhanced the Aussie culture and standards
it now in many areas wishes to dominate.

The sanctity of marriage between a male and female being the rock/corner stone of

all societies around the world regardless of race, religion, culture or creed is under

serious attack from the minority LGBT groups and their supportive political elite.

Our Aussie kids as young as 4 and 5 years old ( not long out of nappies ) are subject

to child abuse of the worst kind, mental, by the lefty social engineers trying to
convince the poor confused little buggers that it is ok to be bi-sexual, gay, lesbian or
even so-called transgender and not be a boy or girl but just be an " IT ?? " and when
we take into account that an average Aussie may never knowingly come in contact
with a LGBT in their life time, is this not even more confusing for our kids

As a gay bloke I used to know, now dead from aids because he refused to wear

condoms when cruising around the gay bars having bloke sex, as he would call it,

stated that you get them when their young and some what confused and their quote

" Fresh meat on the hoof " unquote.

Professor Einstein.

I am sure my old mate Einstein would agree that although Aussie is the only country

to also be a continent with a landmass of 5.5% of the total worlds landmass, with

only say 24 million inhabitants, that with our (3) tier political and government structure

we have makes us by far per capita one of the most expensively over governed

country in the world! and with our mineral boom over, an aging population, increasing

unemployment and underemployment thereby increasing the welfare expenditure and

reducing the tax take, this " Nanny State philosophy " is totally unsustainable currently
and especially in the long term!!

Anyway people I don't know about you but I am about to pour myself another glass
of red, have a shower, get something to eat, spray some mozzie repellent on, pour
me another glass of red I reckon by then, and sit out in the very quiet, if you discount

Mother Natures chorus of all her 100's of species out and about at night, and just sit

in awe and some what reverential respect of the New England starlit night that no
matter how often I see it, it never ceases to amaze me!!!!!!

OK DON'T WHINGE GET OFF YOUR FAT ARSE AND FIGHT BACK YOUR A LONG

TIME DEAD!!!!!!!!

Sir Mike Howe - but you can call me Mike.
