Well 2013 has now started. More importantly 2013 is a federal election year for Australia. I have concerns about the election because I think people seem to be more focused on themselves than on the well being of their nation. I just hope that there will not be another hung parliament as this in itself will be detrimental.
People need to understand that when you acquire too much debt you no longer have any control over your country. For Australia, I think that this can be seen with China. People need to realise that Australia's natural resources such as coal and minerals cannot continue to be sold to China and Chinese money only being used to employ Chinese and much worse, people in Australia missing out on employment and a better quality of life. Australia needs to return to a manufacturing base and to slash imports. If this does not happen then Australia will be under the control of China and I am not sure whether people want this? It is understandable for those who want material possessions to want to purchase them at a cheaper rate, but by purchasing them from China you are actually supporting slave labour and worse still overseas manufacture.
It concerns me when I see a country divided and an a selfish me society existing. It also is not good when many people are unable to get a job for those who want them and they feel a sense of hopelessness. I find I switch off the news because I have already made up my mind and I am tired of lies, propaganda and deception. I would personally like to see a return of strong, and stable government with control of the borders. This just doesn't seem to be happening at the moment. Also it doesn't seem fair that people's hard earned money is being spent on persons who are not from here when some protest or are unhappy in return. Australia needs to employ its own.
Education needs to return to Australia and more of a focus on teaching people about their political system as well as an introduction of a National (Military) Service. I believe younger people would benefit from a means of self discipline in their lives.
As far as this National Disability Insurance Scheme is concerned. This needs better explanation and money to fund it and not add to more bureaucracy. Surely we should be looking after the disabled which seems to be not a big priority at the moment?
