The Australian Political Parties
The Australian
Political Parties
Dear readers, to make sense what we are saying next, you need to follow our entire story, starting with, Farming Today Is Still a Risky Business, and the, Australian Social Security.
Then this article the Australian Political Parties.
Now, the
government of Australia is the commonwealth of Australia, it is a federal
parliamentary constitutional monarchy. It is attached to the commonwealth, and the
head of the commonwealth is the queen of England. Well it sounds as if we are
an English colony, but we are not, only the government is run on this British
system, which is excellent, it is like a republic, since we vote to elect our
government and this system is doing well all over the world. So, let us see who
are the people that we vote for.
Now,
in Australia there are two major political parties and some small ones. So, it
is always one of the major parties alone or with the help of minor parties that
forms government. Anyhow, when we want to talk about political parties, people
want to ask, which party you think is better? I don’t know if they do that to
make up their own mind, or to know to which party you belong and whether you
are with them or against them.
In
my view there are no better or worse parties, it all depends from what we the
people want from them. You see, both political major parties have good policies
and bad policies; people view these policies in different ways, according to
which group of people they belong, what they do for a living and their needs,
because in most cases this will influence to which group and party they will
belong.
Having
said that, now let us discuss which party is better for this group or that
group. We have to say that whatever job people do, it influences them to choose
the party they belong, which will be the party that could help them most; so,
let look at the parties, starting with the Labour Party, since it is the
largest single party.
The Australian Labour Party
I
believe that the Labour Party is the workers party for good reasons, since they
represent the workers unions, which helps the worker receive the proper wages
from the employers and other things. The Labour Party has other good things,
that helps the poor people, at least as much as the coalition party does if not
more, because the Labour Party aims to pass laws that the poor people can
benefit from; so, it is a good party.
The
negative for this party is that they aim to make laws that penalize the people
that are rich, they don’t care for the middle income people that own anything,
as soon as you own something for them you are a rich person; so, this is the
political party for the have-not and the workers that don’t own anything,
because as soon as you have something in your name they want to collect more
tax from you.
I
don’t mind if they tax the rich, because they are rich, and they can still live
in luxury, even if they pay more tax. But this attitude of taxing the people
that have a few things to their names is wrong, because they are struggling
people like the workers that don’t own anything, and my guess is that they are
workers that have worked hard to own these few things, and they will continue
to work hard, if they are encouraged with fair laws, that will let them grow.
But
when this people see that they are being penalized with extra taxes, because
they own something, they will be discouraged, this brings in a negative attitude,
and it may not be the best result for everybody. You know, there are a lot of
these self-starter and they pay a lot of tax, if they keep going, they may even
become richer, and pay more tax to the government; so, the Labour party in this
case should watch out what they are doing. They should let these middle-income
people continue to work hard and grow. So, the Labour Party is not the party
for those people that want to progress with hard work, or any other means they
have. It is only good for the poor people and the workers that work for wages.
Now
we have seen that the Labour Party does not care for the self-employed, who
belong to middle income section, some of them may not even earn as much as the
wage workers, but because they are self-employed or own a small business or
something else, nobody cares for them. So, today I am still waiting for a
political party that puts the self-employed at least at the same level of the
wage workers.
The coalition Liberal and Country Party
Anyhow,
a few years ago the middle-income people thought that the coalition was the
better party for them; but it is not so anymore, because the coalition also fails
to do the right things to these groups that are neither rich nor poor. So, both
parties fail to make fair laws for the middle-income hard-working people of
Australia. The social security system will completely fail them too, because
they are not setup to help them, they are set to help the poor and have-not.
Now,
let us see what the coalition does and who are the people that vote for them.
The coalition favour the rich, therefore, it is the party for the rich people.
It is formed from two main parties, the Liberal Party and the Country Party,
they both aim for policies that makes people run their own business, but not
for small business, because they class them as simple self-employed people.
Anyhow,
the coalition likes the rich people that have their business and employs people,
since they are setup and own their business and other things. This system works
well, because it is self-driven, using the will of the people that are
self-driven; this seems okay up to a certain point, because the self-driven
people are business people that put making money first, so, there can be
problems because they are greedy, but they must be greedy and work hard to stay
in business, that is the only way to succeed. Some people don’t like them when
they succeed, they don’t see the hard work they do, they only see these people
gains and that upsets them. People need to see that these people are the
self-driven people that helps run the economy, and they pay lots of tax, even
after trying hard to minimize the tax, so, both parties have problem to solve.
But
who is going to look after the middle-income people of Australia? Anyhow, while
we are writing these articles, we are looking which party is more likely to make
laws that will benefit those middle-income people that are self-starter, even
if they are only making ends meet, they are still working and earning their
living. You see, these people need laws that can help them, in case their small
business fails; because they are not rich to withstand on their own. It is like
what is happening to the farmers today, they are self-employed, and they own
properties. You see, even these people need help from the government sometimes,
just like the have-not do. We will suggest something as we continue to write
these articles.
Both
political parties have faults
As
we have said, the Australian political parties have a good side a bad side. The
Labour Party works in favour of the workers, the coalition is too far in favour
of the rich and forget the rest. The coalition believes that the rich people by
trying to make more money for themselves, they will create more jobs, so, the
economy will run better by itself, while the government doesn’t do much. The
coalition can have the support of those middle-income people that are not rich.
These people are more likely to follow the coalition, because they believe that
it is more likely that the coalition make laws in their favour, since the Labour Party looks only after the worker that
work for wages, so, there is no chance that the Labour Party helps them.
Here
we are talking about the second largest group of people after the wage worker,
these people are the core of the Australian economy, because they are so many
and work hard. Anyhow, this group for their own reasons become self-employed,
they work hard and if necessary, take risks to improve themselves.
Anyhow,
most of them will try to own a house and other things, because they believe
that their savings plus the superannuation contribution can help them to live a
better life when they retire, most of them believe that if they are lucky and
work hard, they may become rich enough, and will not need the government to
help them when they retire. Anyhow, I believe that we need this group of people
like that, which are self-employed and take risks, because it is from this
group of people that successful people come from.
But
I must say, that most of them are dreaming, and their dream may not become
true, because only a few of them will get rich enough to retire and live on
their savings and superannuation contribution without the help from the
government. You see, most times what you do during your life, it does not work
out the way you want. Anyhow, what happens to these people is that not only
they don’t get rich, but also, they are rejected from the politicians, because
no major party is geared to look after them, and that is not right.
Therefore,
both Australian political major parties fail to look after those people that are
not poor, and they are not rich ether, they are left on their own, but not only
that, some political idiots make laws that hurts them bad, because they forget
to put the people first. But before we do that, we need to tell you about,
today Liberal political scene in Canberra.
------------------------------
Today
Liberal political scene
Today,
after electing a new Prime Minister in Canberra, if the Liberal and country
party coalition want to continue to hold office after the next federal election,
I believe that they need to overall many laws; they have this opportunity to do
this, since their leader has changed, so, a new leader can change a few things
to his liking.
We
need to point out, that one of the reasons why they were not popular anymore,
it was the budget when they changed the assets test, because many people were
financially hurt. So, this new government must check and reset the social
security system, because they made a mess of it, when the treasurer Joe Hockey,
with then PM. Tony Abbott made a disaster, by changing the assets test and
other things, because they needed more money and didn’t care about the people.
Only
if they fix those mistakes, which I think is going to be the key issue for next
elections, even if the politicians are not going to mention it, the public will
not forget it, because they are hurt from the injustice and hardship it continues
to bring.
It
is upsetting, because what they have done is a contradiction to their own
liberal principle, which people count on it. They believe that people should be
free to do what they want, they should be competing to give the best possible
service to the community, which these middle-income people do.
But
then suddenly the middle-income people are put in a disadvantaged position,
from laws that punishes them, just because they try hard to work and save
money, so, they have some personal assets. Assets in your name are only good if
they can give you added security and not be punished from stupid laws, just
because the government needs more money. Now if the government needs this
money, they should make sure that the people affected, don’t end up earning
less than the normal minimum pension.
On
this assets test subject, I am writing my next article, where I am going to
show you what I mean, of course, what we are going to say is linked to the
farmers that today are having a hard time, and the reason for that is that they
cannot qualify for help from the government, because of the assets test.
Anyhow, I want to talk about the assets test for the whole community. I know
that they are only my personal views, but if I want my views to be known, then
I need to write them down.
Anyhow,
this article is becoming too long, and people don’t like long articles, because
they don’t have time to read them. So, see you in our next article, Australia
can do better, if those in power put people first. Anyhow, we will discuss
about the assets test, and we are discussing the drawback it can produce. See
you soon.
