of this terribly ignorant, racist, driminatory and many other words country there are a few things he would do, he’ll tell the story from here.
On being signed in there are a couple of things I would say, the second being a commitment to truth, to politicians no longer being the primary teacher and preacher of the most harmful thing in this world, the core of all violence, ignorance.
Honesty, truth and openness will be the new agenda, there will be no more secrets.
We will give countries their secrets back, we will tell our people our own secrets, we will do this to show one another we are human, that our backyard needs work before we focus on others.
My first words will be taking responsibility for this mess. I would take responsibility on behalf of all governments for genocides, stolen communities, forcefully removing freedom from a free people. I would take responsibility for all the social problems in this country, drug issues, alcohol fuelled violence, the housing crisis, the intense waste, domestic violence rates, suicide statistics, youth crime, for the fact that people, First Nations people, continue to live in third world conditions within the walls of this most affluent first world country. I would commit to showing it to you.
I would take responsibility for having never listened.
You would see it on the news, no longer would it be filled with other peoples violence, we will show our own, we will show what we have done to a peaceful people, what we continue to do. It will contaminate the papers, we will see the poision this country is to the environment, we will see it to cleanse it together. The radio will blast it to every station, the blasts from schools in America will become the nuclear bomb domestic violence is within these boundaries.
My first business in office would be to remove us from every conflict in this world, remove all of our support for humanitarian crisis internationally, we will bring our diplomats placed abroad back home, no more soldiers will face another bullet, my son will never be in a position to pull the trigger unless this is what he chooses to do.
We will repurpose our military, assign the diplomats to communities within our walls, the soldiers too, we will teach them to listen, to be soldiers for peace. First we will teach them how to hear beyond discrimination, prejudice, belief, what they think something should be.
We will pull out of every trade deal that is not beneficial mutually, not powered on either side, we will maintain fairness in trade in every deal for every party, we will act in integrity. No trade will include privileges as a side deal.
No relationship will include privileges ever again, including breaking the relationship with Her Majesty the Queen. I will help you to see the ridiculousness in your protest about a date when you do not protest the maintaining the relationship of daughter to the absolute source of all violence, all genocide in this country, how your screaming about this does not exist.
You will no longer have a reason to protest about anything thatb you do within the boundaries, the moat that is the waters surrounding this phenomenal land. Instead, you will be free to go to the source of your screaming and scream there, fight, support people, listen maybe.
This will be my answer, part of my answer, to the dumbfuck question of who will protect us? When, since the English, have we been invaded, when? Those times, that time, Darwin, would we have been invaded if not for our decision to support someone elses war, their violence? What type of a coward would attack a country that deals fairly with everyone, allows it’s people to support anything they want, who’s war tanks are replanting the forests, a country that does not even have a military? What type of a coward?
Yes, our people can go wherever they want, participate in whatever they want, they will not be able to hide here. They can volunteer anywhere, work with foreign aid, fight in other peoples wars, and they can come home again. We will not bring them home, they are on their own. We will not glorify them, our glorifying of war days are over and will remain over, ANZAC day would remain as a reminder of what war does to a people. January 26 will remain as a reminder of what ignorance, separation, genocide does to people, what we did to us.
What type of a coward would attack another country who’s people are fighting for it? This will be my argument.
Our people will not be able to hide here, there will be no asylum should you have to answer questions about your activities anywhere else, we will ensure you find your way there to be held to account, or cleared of wrong doing.
We will stop screaming and yelling for others to do the things we are not, we will turn our attention inside, we will decide then if we are the example we are screaming out that we are. The answer will be we are not, we will turn our attention to fixing ourselves, we will then decide if we have the right to yell and scream at others.
We will do this by listening to everyone, this will be the new purpose of the military, all our foreign aid, money thrown elsewhere, all those resources will turn inward, we make ourselves safe, we be the example we want the world to be.
We wil teach by the example we become, others will then listen.
We will make all drugs legal, not just the most toxic of them all, alcohol. We will allow underground laborotaries to go through certification criteria, their setup is safe and drugs are of high enough quality they can continue their operations.
We will allow people to buy it from vendors, certification as simple as a food truck, certification to ensure their product is of the highest quality. Our military bases will become places people do these things safely, to home the homeless, churches will comit to creating crisis accommodation.
Our military bases and churches will show those same people how to cook, clean, exercise, grow tomatoes on a balcony, maybe some chickens in the backyard.
The base will not be a retreat or a rehabilitation, it will be a safe place people can come to be safe when they need to be, to be heard by someone who knows how to listen. It will teach them to bring the safety back to their everyday lives. It will do this by giving them the basic tools for life that are the ultimate foundation in a better life, the best life.
This is where our international humanitarian money will go.
Yes, this what I would do were a Prime Minister.
I’m not PM fortunately. Greatly, to be honest.
The flag and anthem
Next business. The flag and the national anthem, get rid of these two hideous things, they are terrible. In no way do either of these stupid ridiculous rascist pieces of shit represent this country.
Ochre dirt, green grass, blue seas, this is Australia.
Making voting a privilege
Retreat right back to the start, the first thing I would do, there is one more much pressing issue. With the exception of listening there is only one absolute election promise I would make, only one, it comes in three part but it is only one promise, I would promise to make voting a privilege in Australia, finally.
The fine, the warning letter, the slap on the wrists for not voting would be removed immediately, everybody who has ever received a fine for non compliance in the voting process will be refunded. I will apologise for abusing your right, your privilege, to vote. I will apologise to everybody whether they voted or didn’t vote, you have all been abused equally.
Education is key, in the process of removing the fine I will show you why, help you understand the importance, assist you to come to know the current voting system in Australia is violence being projected by its government onto every citizen, again the complaint and non-compliant.
Forcing somebody to vote through a warning, a fine, is no different to banning people from voting, women and Indigenous people for example. You are forcing people into a situation against their will, this is the definition of control, of force, of pressure. This is all violence, reflect yourself on your own experience of being the victim of these things, understand how it applies to you and you can start to understand how it applies to the broader community.
The fine is the same as bribing and using violence to get people to the booth, the removal of discrimination and how you think something should be is required. $20 in Australia is nothing, it is literally nothing, for most. $20 in Australia is everything, it is the difference between a meal and not a meal for some. It may be the difference between being able to buy a box of weetbix, $6 for a big box, and milk, $4 for the cheaper 3 litre version, and having no breakfast at all.
The people this fine affects most are those that live within the poverty parameters, people who have been let down time and again, people who have every reason not to vote, they know this system is not there for them. These people are being bullied, being forced to chose between food and doing what is right, being violated in the most horrific torturous ways by this government, the affluent in this country, the greedy, but mostly the government.
No privilege in this world or any other comes with a fine for not participating. Far out Australia, 27 million people, 27 million people, there abouts. 27 million people in a country that calls itself intelligent, and one in the whole 27 million has the capacity for think for itself, to use its own brain, understand basic simple shit. Literally the dumbest country on earth.
Side note, through my term I would repeatedly tell you how fucking dumb you are, repeatedly. Absolutely repeatedly, I’ll do it all with examples, you won’t be able to deny it.
So dumb in fact that this dumbness is part two of this election promise, you will never be asked to vote purely on ignorance ever again. The current government knows Australian people are so ignorant, so stupid, so brainwashed, so absolutely worthless in every word and thought they produce that they will vote without having any idea what their vote means. Every single person who participated in the YES/NO vote, this is you, you are the dumb and ignorant here.
Yes voters you are the most ignorant people in this country, number one. You could not see through attachment to the topic to hear what the government was literally saying to you, they didn’t even lie about it and yet you were too pathetically overwhelmed with passion to listen.
The government literally said that they do not know how voting yes is going to impact future government decisions, they noted that they were unaware at this stage of the power that would be given to the council. They said this, I heard it with my own ears, you did too, more than once. Yet, you voted yes, fucking hell, dumb cunts. This is ignorance, if you cannot understand how this is violence, what this ignorance creates, well God help us all.
This type of ignorance is barely a stone’s throw from the next Hitler being allowed into power, allowing the passing of shit that comes with unidentified powers and privileges. Like, seriously, think, how stupid can you get? 6.3 million of you, how stupid can you get? Does your brain work? Do you have a single original thought or do you just blindly follow everybody and every pathetic feeling in your body? You are all christians I bet. Or, maybe worse, those idiots who say they’re not religious, they’re spiritual?
No, you are next. Of course Indigenous people have a right to their voice being heard, of course they do, it is not even a question. However, your vote is better because it shold not have to be legislated it should the damn right of every human being. Everyone has the right to be heard and not just have shit pushed and forced on them at every new moment, shit that triggers all the old moments.
Showing up and not voting. God I empathise with you if your choice was a difficult one, I really do, but you participated and supported this process. There will be no change until you stand up, the fence is not a place where differences are made.
Finally, there will be no more money spent on campaining, not a cent. Every single resource that was put into this bullshit will go into shit that matters, making sure peolple have safe places to lay their fucking heads at night, you greedy fucking cunts. Millions and millions, Clive Palmer, $100 million dollars to win one seat, $100 MILLION when people are freezing on the streets in his home town, children within Australia are being sexually exploited.
We will have debates, discussions with the opposition, discussions with you. That stuff is in important, all parties get to put on display their ability to listen. The discussion and debates will not polute the TV and radio with advertising, none of this rubbish will be funded.
We will know we are doing our job well by your vote, the vote which is now a privilege. You vote us in with the confidence of previous elections or more confidence we know we are moving in the right direction. If the vote contains less confidence than those that preceded it we know our listening skills need to improve. You vote us out, tells us there are significant improvements to be made.
Protesting
I drove past a protest regarding Israel yesterday in Launceston, over the road from Bunnings, just near a big church gathering.
The protesters were holding signs, laughing, smiling, having a great time, asking cars to honk their horns. My head fell in sadness.
I wanted to talk to them while wanting to avoid them completely. I just wanted to ask them how they can be so happy, be jumping around with so much energy, be in such high spirits when they are protesting war, the killing of innocent people around the world.
Questions, I wanted answers. An answer to whether any of them have actually been to war, if they have experienced this thing, know what they are talking about. All necessary questions.
I already knew the answer. Were I protesting from Australia I might have my sign but I would be sitting there with my head bowed, my heart breaking publicly, tears streaming from my eyes. But, then again, I know this thing, I am and have done something about it. You do not know it, have done nothing about it, are doing less than nothing with your protesting.
War is violence, it is absolute violence, there is no moments of peace, there is no silence. To protest this shit is not to participate in it, protesting noise with noise is pure hypocrisy when the people affected are desperate for silence in their lives.
Silence from the bombs, guns, screams, cries, wailing of mothers who have lost their innocent babies. Silence from every piece of shit around the world telling them what to do while doing nothing, doing that nothing from thousands and thousands of kilometres away.
If you gave a shit, you would be in these places, your head would be bowed and you would listen. First, you would bow your head to yourself and ask yourself what you are contributing to this, are you participating in this war you are screaming at others to do something about.
You will know that you, through your protesting, and your ignorance is participating in that same war, you are pulling the trigger every moment of every day with every word you release. Then, at this point, you will finally do something for all those people you say you care about, you’ll actually care.
To force your on opinion on others, to disrupt them to do so, is purely attachment. Violence does not start with physicality. It starts when you do not do what I tell you to do and I do not accept your not doing it.
I then repeat myself, exaggerate, embellish, shorten my tone, get a little louder, start to ignore you, make your life difficulty in petty ways and eventually I push you, It was an accident I didn’t mean to, it’s just you wouldn’t.
Do you think war started with violence? Do you think Russia/Ukraine started when the first bullet was fired? Did you not hear Putin telling the UN to fuck off and stop putting pressure on them or Russia would get angry? Did you not hear him say this multiple times, becoming more aggressive each time?
Then what happened?
Putin, is he the only one to blame for the loss of so many lives in such a horrific way? Or, are others implicit? How about the Ukraine President? The UN? The US? You, me? Everyone who did not listen to the warnings.
Do you think that the scabs and war mongers starting this shit give a fuck about your opinion? Did you think for a moment? Do you really think that these things occured without the powers driving them knowing the backlash from the world? Are you that dumb?
They knew all along, they know, they do not give a shit.
If you want to do something firstly understand violence, understand how you project in every word, that every time you force your will onto something or someone you are violating them, commiting violence on them. You are the violence you are trying to force others to stop with that same technique, violence.
To protest, to really care, to not be another coward bitch screamer go to these places, put your boots on the ground, shut your mouth and listen. This is the only thing people affected by war need, ears that are there to listen, not mouths that only come with solutions.
Solutions that proven time and time again they are ineffective, so ineffective they create further trauma on top of the mountains already piled up.
Ineffective solutions, protesting for example. It’s just you distracting you from you, coward.
That thing, feeling, inside you driving your protest, driving you to give every moment of your attention to it is not care, love, empathy. It’s you running from the feeling in your body telling you that you personally are doing this to your world in your own ways, you are doing this war to the people you say you love.
Listen to yourself and learn, start there and then see if you have the right to bitch and moan about what others are doing, interrupting my life with your ignorance to do it.
