We are being progressively led into poverty by incompetent political leaders, whose only solution to the nation's financial problems is to invent another tax.
The most insidious tax ever invented is GST. Here we see someone who is already taxed on any income received from providing a service being doubly taxed for performing that service. Governmental greed at its worst.
Another blatant lie is the benefit of unlimited free trade, but free trade agreements with slave labour countries are the root cause of unemployment and poverty in our own nation.
Local manufacturers cannot compete with cheap products that are flooding our markets, and are either forced to shut up shop or move overseas.
This may be helping developing nations, but it is destroying our own.
Then there is our nation's true history, with our real indigenous people concealed under a mountain of political correctness and guilt-ridden appeasement.
Now we also have race-based appointments being made under the guise of cultural sensitivity.
Politicians beware.
Your people are beginning to awaken.
