It's Tea Time Already Australia

Australia’s treasurer Wayne Swan has lamented about the possibility of an ‘Australian Tea Party’ along the lines of the American Tea Party. It’s no surprise he doesn’t like that thought, a group that keeps an eye on politicians? That would be a disaster for the ALP.

And a recent News Limited article has suggested Australia has an American style Tea party. News Limited has decided that CANdo is Australia’s Tea Party and portrayed them as grumpy old white men more concerned with caning in schools and singing God Save the Queen.

So let’s look at how things really stand.

Australia already has a Tea Party and has had for some time now. The Australian Tea Party is based in Brisbane and several members of CANDo are actually part it.

The Australian Tea Party has large scale support Australia wide and stands for free markets, fiscal responsibility and constitutionally limited small governments. While caning is an issue that could be discussed the main aim at this time of the Tea Party is to deal with the main issues affecting Australia right now and play a role in the removal of the ALP government before they completely ruin Australia.

The Australian Tea Party has support from a diverse range of everyday Australians who are concerned about current issues. Tea takes actions such as counter protesting BDS protests and supporting specific political candidates who will work on behalf of their constituents, not just themselves. 

Numerous articles detailing how things really are have appeared on the Tea Party website and affiliated pages. Tea is not a political party running for parliament so they are not tied to any financial backers. No obligation to such groups means Tea can publish the truth as it is, not how others want it to appear.

So why is News naming CANdo as a Tea Party? It was reported by another paper under News Limited in 2010 that Australia has a Tea Party so there’s no real reason for them to now say CANdo is the Tea Party.

It’s possible that political pressure was put on News to name CANdo as ‘the Tea Party’ and portray them as out of touch and lower Tea’s appeal to mainstream Australia and in the process lessen our impact in opposing the governments trashing of Australia.

But it’s of no real worry, do a search for the Australian Tea Party and it’s their pages that top the list, not the groups of so called ‘grumpy old white men’ and Tea’s  support comes from all quarters from people who are sick and tired of the scam laden ideology that is ruining Australia.

Tea is here so bad luck to anyone else who wants to pretend otherwise. You can’t decide who will be Australia’s Tea party, they are already here and have our bad governments in their sights.

More Taxes? How About Less Spending!

 

Raising or implementing new taxes is the solution we often hear for solving a nation’s economic woes. The people saying it ignore that taxes are constantly being created and/or raised.  They also ignore that the extra money raised does not solve the problems, it just gets recklessly spent.

And while there is a short term gain to the treasury in the long run it can be a failure as people re-adjust their budgeting to accommodate the extra costs and spend less money.

The pro tax brigade/economist wannabes try and justify their position by presenting the costs as something like ‘only an extra $5 per week’ or ‘only an extra $200 a quarter’ or ‘only an extra $500 per year’. These figures are of course presented in a whimsical way ignoring that people only have a limited amount of money and have already been hit with plenty of these ‘only an’ additional costs, especially during the last five years of ALP state and federal governments.

There is a limit to how much you can raise peoples costs whether it’s taxing people more or governments profiting (and wasting that money as well!) from water and electricity. A large number of business and people have gone under due to the extra costs that have been put on them.

Ignoring all these things the pro tax brigade then talk about extending the GST to cover the currently excluded items such as fresh food because somehow the rich are ‘benefitting from it’ or are ‘getting away with something’. In essence they are saying make life harder for lower income earners and increase their costs because the rich shouldn’t benefit from a lack of a tax everyone benefits from.

A consequence of extending the GST to fresh foods is that some people may be more inclined to get takeaway meals more often as there’d be little cost benefit to eating at home. Also it can easily become more convenient to get takeaways more often which could lead to less healthy people.

Of course the pro tax brigade would say raise the taxes on takeaways but if you make them too expensive it can cause businesses to lose customers and the lower revenue will have a flow on affect.

Best to just leave fresh foods and takeaways alone.

And after going all through this the pro tax brigade and economist wannabes prove their economic ignorance by saying not having certain taxes or not extending the GST is costing something like $30 billion, or some other made up figure, per year.

Not having the GST extended or not having something like family home sales taxed is not costing the treasury. Money is not coming out of the treasury to maintain a lack of taxes in those areas. Using their ‘cost logic’ we could say it’s costing is $30 billion per year not having a tax on beards or not having a tax on continental drift tax which, if you use climate scam logic, must be man-made and will somehow be solved by a tax. (Wonder why that scammer Al Gore isn’t on that one?)

Not having certain taxes isn’t a cost, these so called costs are actually potential revenue projections of how much money these extra taxes could potentially bring in. And the figures are usually grabbed out of thin air like the revenue projections for Brisbane’s Clem 7 tunnel and bike scheme or anything Wayne Swan and the ALP put forward.

A cost is when money comes out of treasury to pay for something such as useful things like Medicare and our armed forces or the not so useful things such as our freeloading politicians.

The real solution is for governments to spend less. Governments at all levels have to be made more accountable for how they spend public money.  Unfortunately many in and out of government see public money, also known as other people’s money,  as a revenue source for personal projects and agendas. They do what they want, blow the money and hand the bill to the electorate.

The spending less and taxing less approach can be done, the Liberals ran a welfare state that was actually more generous that the ALP version and the Liberals would still be in if it wasn’t for WorkChoices. (Take note WorkChoices IS NOT good for business and the economy. It gets the Liberals voted out, the ALP voted in and their looting of the nation begins in earnest!)

We do not need more taxes, just an end to the ALP spending and wasting money philosophy along with their fantasyland approach to governing. This is the problem Australia is has, not a lack of taxes.

Message To Union Managers And To Campbell Newman

I am only in a union because I need to be, not because I believe you are acting wholly in my interests.

These are some things you need to be reminded of.

We are not in our union to help you spread your own personal opinion and claim that opinion represents all members.

We are not in our union to help you spread your own personal agenda and claim that agenda represents all members.

We are not in our union to help you in your desire to be in parliament.

We are not in our union to help you make donations to your favourite causes with our money.

Our money is not there to fund your wish list.

I am not insensitive to the plight of others when I say the small amounts of member’s money you donate for medical research should not be donated without asking the members first.

I am not homophobic when I say the larger amounts of member’s money you donated to gay marriage groups should not be donated without asking the members first.

I am not racist when I say you should not be concerned with the plight of illegal immigrants when your members are losing out in various areas.

The members pay you to work for them and them alone. When I pay, along with other for someone to act on my behalf I expect them to act in mine and the groups interests.

If you think something is a good cause donate your own money. If you think the members should know tell them how they can donate their own money. If you think it may be in the unions’ interests to donate to a particular cause ask the members and don’t call anyone names if they disagree.

 If you think other groups need representation do it in your own time and without any impact on the group who is actually paying you to represent them.

I do not believe it when you say you are against cuts in spending and to services because you were silent when the economic recklessness that makes the cuts necessary was taking place.

I do not believe it when you say you are against job cuts because you were silent when the economic recklessness that makes the cuts necessary was taking place.

I do not believe it when you say you are for the working people when you’re silent while laws are passed allowing the government to conduct state business behind closed doors.

I do not believe it when you say you are for the working people when you’re silent while massive debts are run up by the government you support.

Silence is consent. You consented to the things that are now costing people everything they have.

Instead of having well-funded hospitals and other services to help the community we have a debt that your preferred government says is an achievement because they can afford to service it.

You were silent or you said something simply lame every time politicians gave themselves undeserved pay rises while the rest of us got little or nothing.

You were silent when the rest of us were forced to struggle under massively increased cost of living expenses to pay for the politicians pay rises and the debt they ran up.

You were silent while it happened and I think you were silent because you weren’t concerned with your members best interests, only your own.

Just remember, unemployed people don’t pay union fees.

Now we have a situation where people are having their contracts cut with only an hours’ notice instead of two weeks. Petty funding cuts are being made and cuts to profitable services are being made as well.

Now all of a sudden you come out and make yourselves heard but where were you when the ALP was laying the groundwork to make this happen?

Your actions now are too little too late, ineffective and pretty much hypocritical.

Unions need to go back to serving the interests of their members and their members first and foremost, not pretending they are social guardians or have the moral high ground and know any better than the rest of us.

And most definitely stop supporting governments like the ALP who only are in it for themselves. By funding the ALP you’re handing over member’s money to finance their own hardship and unemployment.

People are ending up unemployed and unions are supporting the very party that makes unemployment a certainty.

Again, remember, unemployed people don’t pay union fees.

Now onto Campbell Newman. Everyone knew cuts would have to be made and I said you were doing what you had to do but you’re going too far. One hours’ notice instead of two weeks while cutting staff? Changing already existing signed off agreements? Cutting programs that benefitted Queensland and actually make a profit?

That’s not making the tough decisions, that’s just deceit in the same manner of Anna Bligh’s unannounced intention to sell Queensland assets prior to the 2009 state election.

There are serious concerns that Queensland is going to go backwards and become a police state in the process. Governments in Queensland can hide information from the public. The records relating to the disastrous Queensland Health payroll system are locked by the ALP, they don’t have to pass them on to the current government for public scrutiny.

When government business is hidden from the people it proves the government is not representing the people like they are supposed to. Things appear to be being done without any concern for the impact on the people and this is being hidden.

A government should not have anything to hide. If a private firm doesn't want to reveal its what's discussed when dealing with the government then they should look for business elsewhere.

Campbell Newman needs to work with the people of Queensland, not against them otherwise he’s going to be a one term wonder that impressed nobody.

Unions Blame Newman, I Again Blame Unions

Newman happy with himself, 100 days in. From The Australian

 Queensland Premier Campbell Newman says he feels bad for public service workers who have lost their jobs in the first 100 days of his government. BUT Mr Newman says he had no choice but to cut public service labour costs by shedding workers on temporary contracts.

"My heart goes out to those who are losing their jobs because we can't afford to keep them. What I'm trying hard to do though is keep permanent jobs safe," he told the ABC.

Tuesday marks 100 days since Mr Newman swept to power in a landslide victory. He says his proudest achievement so far is acting on promises to drive down cost of living pressures on Queensland families.

But on his biggest disappointment, he was less forthcoming. "There's been a few. I'm not really sure, yeah. But I've been very happy with the way it's gone." Mr Newman has spent the first months of his premiership telling Queenslanders about the enormous debt the state is in after years of mismanagement by Labor.

An interim audit of the state's books by former federal treasurer Peter Costello has warned debt will balloon to $100 billion by 2018/19 without radical action.

Mr Newman says the task of reining in debt is his primary focus. (Full Story)

The unions are complaining about Newman’s proposed cuts but have no right to complain, they stood by in support of the ALP while the ALP was creating the economic disaster that makes these cuts necessary.

Queensland went from low debt to the largest state debt in Australia. Anna Bligh borrowed billions and squandered the money.

Surprisingly this, along with the farcical electricity market privatisation, didn’t spell the end for her government, she was voted back in while keeping her real plans vague. Once re-elected she then proceeded to push the cost of living up for Queenslanders by turning services into revenue raising operations and selling off assets.

The unions announced they were against the sales but supported the Anna Bligh government.

That means they support the sales and any subsequent job losses. The unions were doing an act of saying one thing but doing something else.

If unions are really for the workers they should have spoken out when the groundwork for the current cuts was being put in place but I think the magic words ‘safe ALP seat’ may have been bandied about.

These kinds of shenanigans could spell the end of the union movement in Australia. By not being there for their members, turning their attention to issues outside the workplace, throwing union members money at these issues and also supporting the so called Labor Party could be what destroys the unions.

The ALP aren’t even bothering to hide they aren’t there for the workers anymore. Would you as a worker join a union that stands by while the economic disasters that will cost you your job are created?

The ALP needs to look out because no unions means a lot less money will be flowing into ALP election campaigns.

Maybe the ALP have realised that their party is toxic to voters and are just simply taking what they can get before their party is completely wiped out.

In any case the unions only have themselves to blame for the job losses, not Campbell Newman, he’s doing what he has to do to get Queensland back on track.

 Thanks to the ALP Queensland’s debt was increasing as they kept borrowing and thanks to union silence on the matter massive cuts are to be made and have to be made.

While the ALP was taking a prosperous state and destroying it the union management was not looking out for anything but its member’s interests. They have failed their members and failed the people of Queensland.

Standing By While Disaster Strikes

From Ninemsm http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8442913

Union fears for public services under LNP

The state government's public sector overhaul could undermine services in frontline areas such as child safety, a union says.

The Together Union says the state government has flagged a freeze on new non-frontline public service jobs.

Premier Campbell Newman has indicated his government will dismantle and separate the so-called "super departments" of government.

In order to save money, he has indicated a freeze on new management consultancies and says only "key appointments" in frontlines services are to be filled.

Together Secretary Alex Scott says he's concerned the state government will define "frontline services" too narrowly. (Read More Here)

Alex Scott is probably more concerned for the friends of the former Labor government who gained plum jobs simply because of who they knew.

And that sums up the managers of the modern union movement to a tee.

When Labor are wrecking the states and the nation the union managers barely say a word.

When Labor creates the mess that requires massive cutbacks by following governments union management barely say a word.

Hypocrisy seems to be their calling, no surprise though since the mission for the modern union officials seems to be safe Labor seats or plum jobs at public expense.

If Alex Scott is really so concerned why was he quiet when Labor were trashing Queensland?

Other examples here are people like Queensland Labor president Andrew Dettmer who was quiet during the repeated ALP caused cost of living increases. What he did say is he was opposed to the Anna Bligh led privatisation of Queensland government owned assets.

He finished his opposition by saying he still supported the Anna Bligh led government despite the anger of union members affected by the privatisation process.

If you supported Anna Bligh then you supported what she was doing Andrew, did someone say the magic words “safe seat” to you to get you to betray your members?

Not too many safe seats left anymore Andrew and there’s usually a waiting list.

If they said ‘plum job’ to you there’ll probably be quite a wait there as well.

Doubt there’ll be a big jump in union members in Queensland either so you’ve certainly done the union movement a disservice.

On a national level ACTU chief Ged Kearny handed a 12,000 signature petition calling for a carbon price to parliament. She hadn’t actually sounded out the union membership and by all accounts the price of living will skyrocket for everyone but the government wanted a carbon price so there she was supporting it.

How many of those 12,000 who signed were actually union members Ged?

Ged made a speech trying to justify her actions. Full of cliché’s and empty rhetoric and one key point. She admitted she’s not qualified in the field of climate change.

Not qualified to run the ACTU either, she was doing anything except the job she was supposed to do and that’s looking out for the interests of union members.

As well as Ged’s self-serving actions various union officials claim to be struggling to understand why Labor makes certain cuts and slashes of spending in various areas.

They know why. They know it’s Labors’ destructive ways that are forcing cuts. Those magic terms ‘safe seat’ and ‘plum job’ seem to be working their magic and preventing union officials from actually representing their members.

Like I said though, not too many safe seats left and the plum jobs may be a long time materialising.

You can tell they are Labor politicians in training. They seem to think the money at their disposal is actually theirs to spend how they see fit regardless of what members think such as when they sponsor some cause.

They don’t sound out what the union members when spending the members’ money and if they object the members get name calling such as racist or sexist etc.

In other words the managers seem to think they can act however they want regardless of how their members think.

They also seem to think their members will believe them when they say they are fully against the cuts even though they fully supported the actions such as the free spending and the massive borrowing that make such cuts a necessity.

If the unions are really against these cuts then they should make some noise when Labor is acting recklessly and ransacking everything to begin with and withdraw all support.

But they don’t because they aren’t against the cuts, they are only out for themselves and don’t seem to care if their members are suffering.

All this is under union supported Labor governments who after ruining things help themselves to more on the way out with massive lump sum payments and/or lifelong high paying pensions.

The LNP may now be making cuts but it’s Labor that makes them an urgent necessity. Thanks to Labor Queensland's current fiscal outlook is unsustainable and I shudder to think what disaster is waiting when the federal Labor government is turfed in 2013.

Labor is laying the groundwork for any current and future cuts. And Labor is doing this with the full support of the union officials.

Union officials support the cuts to services that have to be made because of Labor governments.

They're Here For You? In Your Dreams!

One group who no longer represents the workers of this country is the Labor Party. They are pretty open on that point, just look at the legislation they have put through, the cuts to services they have made and the debt they have run up.

They occasionally pretend to be for the average person when it suits them but over all they are in it for themselves and their ideology.

Other groups that aren’t for the workers are the unions that are affiliated with Labor and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) itself.

While funding the Labor Party under the pretext of gaining influence for the benefit of union members it seems some union officials are trying to gain safe Labor seats for themselves in parliament.

Why do I say that you may ask? Unions have been alienating their members with a lack of action on real issues. Meanwhile they will donate member money to any cause that will make a union official look good or say they support controversial legislation and policies regardless of what the members think.

Ged Kearny, the current leader of the ACTU rocked up to parliament with a petition with 12,000 signatures calling for a price on carbon. 12,000 signatures. There are many times more that number as union members but with 12,000 signatures Ged claimed to be acting on behalf of union members.

No one I know was consulted but somehow Ged is representing us all. Don’t know how Ged worked that out and I don’t know how many of those 12,000 are from union members but somehow she’s representing us.

Ged has also joined the call for Superannuation funds to be used to build infrastructure needed by the country even though that’s not the role of Superannuation. Why would someone who is supposed to be representing the workers call for a very despised price on carbon and for workers retirement money to be taken from them?

The Labor Party wanted a carbon price and to use Superannuation funds for infrastructure. Coincidence Ged feels the same way regardless of what union members think?

Can anyone say ‘safe seat in parliament’?

Other Labor affiliated union officials are supposedly  gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands trying to work out why Labor is making cuts everywhere and costing jobs.

It’s obvious why and if you don’t know ask your members, they know all too well.

Labor is borrowing $100 million per day and are taking Australia down the same path as Greece and Ireland by raising a debt that is not needed and will never be paid back. In fact Labor seems to present massive debts as a sign of success and hide the real impact through selective accounting. They brag that they can afford to service these debts as if somehow we will be impressed.

Billions of dollars are leaving the country to service (not actually reduce!) debts we don’t even need to have in the first place so I for one am not impressed.

Services are strained to the limit and hospital waiting lists are blowing out. These problems could be fixed with the billions of dollars that are leaving the country.

Now Labor are behaving as if the Rudd/Gillard leadership squabble is ‘important’ when in fact it’s a very sad sideshow unbecoming of even politics.

All of a sudden Rudd and Gillard are sounding like responsible people with statements that government requires consistency, consultation etc.

How about they actually practice what they preach?

There are noble admissions of “squibbing” (politicians using childlike words, I wonder why?) some of the hard decisions. Well they were squibbed due to the lack of consistency, consultation etc. from all parties involved.

And on the ‘stretching things a bit’ front the federal debacle is being blamed for undermining the election campaign Queensland’s Labor premier Anna Bligh for the upcoming state elections in March.

That is indeed a stretch of the imagination, Anna’s done it all on her own by taking a prosperous state with a reasonable cost of living and driving it straight into economic ruin with a massive debt with no gain for to show for it.

The aforementioned groups and people seem to have their own interests at heart first and foremost.

I left comments on some union sites and they have deleted my comments and barred me from posting. My language was civil but I did tell the unions they appear to be hypocrites for whining about Labors cuts while fully supporting Labor financially.

I’m a union member but they don’t want to know what one (and likely more) of their members think.

I went to the Rudds 2012 site and asked what is Rudd going to do about the massive debt Labor has run up. Again, censored.

These left wing groups don't seem to like being accountable to anyone. Unions are supposed to be for their members but blatantly censor and ignore them. Labor is supposed to be for the workers but does everything to take from them and hurt them.

And while there are people who have the idea they are entitled to keep some of their money that concept is a very strange notion to many unions and governments because they seem to believe other people’s money is for them to spend. Labor has actually spent the money in advance, they’ve borrowed it and future generations of Australians will have to pay it back.

This may be a longshot but the aforementioned Labor leadership debacle could be a scam like a lot of other things they have done. If they play on the sympathy factor for the original ousting of Rudd there’s a chance Labor could just squeak through the next election while many are caught up in the emotional return of Rudd who was never actually voted out as prime minister.

Remember, they act in their own self interests. A change in leadership could bring down the government meaning an early election. If you’re caught up in it all you may forget about the carbon price, the debt and all the other Labor debacles when you vote.

So please remember all this next you actually go to vote. The people who (when convenient) claim to be there for you are actually taking from you. A lot of them have never done a hard day’s work or struggled financially.

They are lowering our quality of life and even putting at risk. But just remember, if you are dying because you’re stuck on a rapidly growing hospital waiting list, Labor can afford to service the debt they have raised with the money they could use to fix the problem.

Help Us Stop The Secret Plan To Suppress Free Speech in Australia!

This came to me via a concerned citizen.

Dear Australians, How would you feel if I told you a radical George Soros funded foreign lobby group is secretly launching a campaign to stifle free speech and impose an ideological censorship test on the media in Australia? You would probably think I’m a conspiracy nut – this couldn’t happen! Except that is what is going on right now. Leaked emails from  Avaaz, an unethical “shadowy foreign organisation” funded by radical leftist mogul George Soros, and one of the big-money donors to Climate Alarmism in Australia, have revealed a large-scale, co-ordinated international effort to threaten businesses, and lobby the government to impose ideological censorship tests on the media. I URGENTLY need your help to help save free speech and a fair media in Australia. You may have read recently that Gina Rinehart, a strong supporter of Andrew Bolt who was responsible for his Channel 10 TV Show, The Bolt Report, recently acquired apx 13% of Fairfax Media (owners of the left wing climate-alarmist Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and other publications). This would not normally make news  - a business person buying shares in a company is hardly noteworthy. And Ms. Rinehart has specifically stated – on the record – that this is simply a business investment, and her beliefs will not affect their operation. But I have just learned that because of Gina Rinehart’s beliefs, an underhand, international, coordinated campaign by left wing extremists has just been launched to assault freedom of speech, calling on the government to change the law to stop her from getting the seat on the Fairfax Board to which she is entitled, and trying to intimidate and threaten the Fairfax Chairman into vetoing her. And this is just the first part of their plan. Avaaz is a million dollar international radical left-wing activist group funded by George Soros, and they are ‘partners’ in Australia with GetUp! Together they have just launched a full scale campaign to attack Ms Rinehart and intimidate the Fairfax Chairman to prevent her from joining the Board. But this is just the first stage in their plan. If they are successful, they specifically have said that they call on the government to impose an ideological test on the media in Australia. You read that right: they want the government to censor all media they disagree with. This is a campaign that should strike terror into the hearts of all of us who believe in free speech, a free media, and the Australian way. If they get their way, none of us are safe. This is their plan to censor free speech – in their own words: Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has just bought a major stake in Fairfax media -- in a bid that could turn The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald into mouthpieces for climate denial to protect her mining interests. But together we can foil her plan…  The media inquiry that Avaaz members helped win is just weeks away from reporting, and provides the government with the crucial chance to act. Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is supportive of stronger ownership limits -- but he needs a community outcry to get the whole government on board…  We desperately need stronger ownership limits, a 'fit and proper person' test for use of public airwaves, and a strong and independent media regulator. That’s right: they are blatantly and unashamedly calling on the Government to impose a “fit and proper” – i.e. leftist ideological – censorship test on the media.   Even though Ms. Rinehart has pledged to not let her views influence editorial policy. The fact that she is a climate sceptic, and believer in small government,  means that she must be stopped and her rights curtailed. GetUp! followed up with an email to their members saying this is “bad news for the issues we care about” urging them to take action to silence free speech by those they oppose. I can not stress this enough: this attack on free speech is incredibly serious, and  goes against everything we believe in as Australians. This is a co-ordinated campaign by radical left alarmists who are running scared that the Australian people have woken up to their game , and are getting so desperate they are now trying to use the government to suppress anyone who disagrees with them. We need to take action now – before it is too late: We need to let Fairfax Chairman Roger Corbett know that he CAN NOT give in to extremists, and can not veto Ms. Rinehart from the board because of radical left wing pressure. Australians,  can you please immediately email Fairfax Chairman Roger Corbatt on  mhughessmith@rccorbett.com.au and phone his office on  (02) 9282 2833 to tell him to resist left-wing threats and blackmail, and not veto Ms. Rinehart from the position to which she is entitled. I will be honest. I don’t know Gina Rinehart. I have never met her, I have never spoken to her, I have never emailed her.  I honestly don’t know much about her. But one thing I do know: that Australia needs a free and fair media, and if the radical left want to use the government to suppress free speech and blackball Ms Rinehart because she supports Andrew Bolt, then we need to do something about it. Because first it’s Gina, and then it’s Andrew Bolt, and then it’s anyone else who doesn’t tow the government line. Make No Mistake: If we let them get away with blocking Gina Rinehart – then everyone who opposes their radical agenda is in danger. And we will have no way to get the truth out to the Australian people. Australians,  please – I beg you -  take the five minutes to email Fairfax Chairman Roger Corbatt on  mhughessmith@rccorbett.com.auand phone him through  (02) 9282 2833 and tell him to NOT GIVE IN to million dollar left wing intimidation. This is a battle we can not afford to lose. If Ms. Rinehart is vetoed from her rightful Board position because of her political beliefs, then this creates a terrible precedent, and we will all suffer. You have done a lot to support freedom in Australia, and great men like Andrew Bolt, and I am sorry for asking you to send yet another email, but freedom of speech in Australia depends upon this. Please contact Roger Corbett and make our message heard, and make sure you forward this email to all your friends, and share it on Facebook by clicking here: , and on twitter here: . I know I can count on you to do the right thing.     Timothy Andrews Managing Editor Menzies House   PS: Please take five minutes to email Fairfax Chairman Roger Corbett at  mhughessmith@rccorbett.com.au and phone his office on  (02) 9282 2833. Our future as a free country depends upon it.
