THE DELUSION OF DEMOCRACY - PART 4

“How concerned are you about the prospect of a Carbon Tax being reintroduced?” And there it is. It’s not a survey. It has nothing to do with representation. It’s an ad for the LNP, a political campaign flyer designed to scare people into voting for them. It became more obvious with each new question. “What do you think is most important? Reliable energy supply, Renewable energy, Affordable energy, don’t know?” Clearly pushing coal and gas mining. Words like ‘Reliable’ and ‘Affordable’, with a capital, indicate that ‘Renewable’ is not. “Should renewable energy be subsidised by the taxpayer?” And there’s the evidence. Subsidised? We’re being sodomised by the government over fossil fuels. It’s now more cost effective to produce green energy, but LNP ties to fossil fuel companies is propping up that eco-vandalising industry.

His wife may consider it a blessing, but if he seriously considers her to be a servant, and cannot distinguish between the two, he has bigger problems than just being a dirty old man trying to fuck everything that moves instead of doing his damn job to represent the people who elected him to do his damn job instead of being a dirty old man trying to fuck everything that moves. It’s real simple, fellas – do your damn jo

The impact of these issues casts a shadow over the entire life of a victim, from childhood and education to adulthood and employment. Some remain tidally locked in the role of victim, easily identified and targeted by those who were raised as bullies or otherwise transition to the role of predators. And in too many cases, those predators move into the police or public services where they are supposed to help victims… but instead misuse their authority to inflict further harm. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/perth-primary-school-teacher-faces-disciplinary-action-over-transgender-comments/ar-BBJrgyM And at the heart of this, too often, is financial stress, made all the worse if that person or their parent is accused of fraudulently claiming welfare. Even if an accusation isn’t true, they are sent a robo-debt letter demanding repayment and threatening legal penalties. The majority of these alleged debts have been proven false but victims must pay-up before the investi
