Introduction
This website and policy initiative is all about promoting genuine solutions to the problems that our
country, our nation and our world are facing. These are solutions drawn from conversations with average
people who can see commonsense solutions to the serious problems that affect them in everyday life. What
they can’t understand is why the powers that be, the politicians they elected, do not implement the solutions that seem
so obvious!
People are asking if they are the only ones who can see these solutions. I
have to tell them that no, many people are saying the same thing, that these solutions are obvious to everyone, but the authorities,
for whatever reason, do not want to change the status quo.
This could be because:
- They are not politically game to take a strong stand, for fear of isolating a sector
of the community and being voted out at the next election
- They are forced to follow
a party line which emasculates them out of their personal opinions
- They are pressured
by major industries into taking their sides
- They are fooled, awed or frightened into
following the lead of the major corporations
- They are being rewarded for not upsetting
the major industry players.
- They just don’t understand or realise what they need to
do.
- They have other personal agendas.
- They don’t
realise the weight of public opinion behind these solutions.
- They don’t have the
political intestinal fortitude to speak out when it counts.
Why am I doing this?
Someone
has to. It’s time, and our country, our economy, our nation and our people demand that action be
taken to save our nation and our planet from what our inaction is doing to it, through the many and varied abuses that we,
as a species, and as a nation, are inflicting upon our country, our people and our planet.
I don’t seek
political gain; I have no desire to enter politics; I have no planned monetary gain from the exercise. I
want to be the voice that starts a noise in the wilderness, which grows, with the help of the citizens of my country to a
roar loud enough to be heard, understood and most importantly, acted upon by those with the power to make changes.
That
is it!
The website has been arranged into some core policy areas, within which are different specialised
areas where contentious issues exist. It is not a total, national policy framework, but it would be a great
start for one.
There are aspects of our governance that are working well enough, but what is on here, are the
areas that are not working well at all. They are critically in need of overhaul and attention.
These are powerful solutions, alternative thinking solutions but most importantly, practical and immediately available
solutions to this growing raft of issues, which bog our nation down.
Read through the
policy areas. See them not as a single idea, but as part of a new society with all of these concepts as
policy and part of our new way of life. Something to aim for.
