Cry Havoc and Let Loose the Mongrel Dog!
Our politicians are completely out of control. We have listed a few common grievances below, as if any of us need reminding. They don’t listen, and don’t need to, and don’t want to!
We are suggesting that we go back to an old fashioned correctional method that used to be used a lot on errant brats. We urge that politicians be thrashed and sent to bed with no super. No, we are definitely not suggesting any form of physical beating. Why? Because it wouldn’t hurt them nearly enough. What then? We recommend that we:
Put All Sitting Members Last
This is a last ditch attempt to bring politicians to heal and get them behind, and the Mongrel Dog is built for the job. If just 10% of their voters do this they will all be defeated, all be thrown out of the House, and all have their snouts ripped from the trough. But then we will just get other politicians. Quite so. Well what will we do with them? In the next election we will use another method, we will

So how long does this go on for? Until they give us a means of getting what we, the people, want! So what means do you have in mind?

The Swiss have had it for 100 years, 20 USA States have it, and several other countries too. Everywhere it exists, the people love it.
· Australia is now multicultural but you and I had no say in that momentous decision.
· Our national assets and essential services are being flogged off to the highest bidder. · Foreign investors are usurping our industry and land and inflating our house prices. · Local governments have been amalgamated with disastrous results for ratepayers. · Illegal boat immigrants get better social services than our pensioners. · Complain about this and you could face the anti-discrimination (anti-choice) laws. · Our Diggers are fighting hopeless wars in foreign countries and nobody knows why? · Government is signing international treaties that undermine national sovereignty. · Multinationals avoid tax and extract concessions – Too big to fail we are told! · Our politicians endow themselves with outlandish superannuation schemes. · And the Banks get richer and more powerful – they are a law unto themselves! · Our gas is exported for a few cents per litre and we pay over a dollar.
