Big Business Bosses oppose “government for the people”!!

Read on to find out how you as a voter can get our parliaments, public services and society working for you!

“None of this serving the people nonsense!” says Big Business.

None of this Populism stuff, doing what the people want”, business leaders told our politicians this week. “populism is doing what is popular with the people, as in “government of the people, by the people for the people”. Ultra-rich Big Business Bosses want Australia run for them, not the rest of us Aussies.

That’s not hard to understand. Most of us tend to look after ourselves first. These guys are probably on $500,000 a month, so life works well for them.

How in our democratic society, can the Big Business Bosses, when they have so few vote in elections, control Australian society and make politicians do their bidding? Partly because they say what they want and ask for it to be done. But there is more to it than that.

Big Business Bosses also bribe, bully and threaten our politicians and political parties to make sure that the government does what Big Biz wants. It substantially funds election campaigns of political parties, lends parties money when needed and provides loans for homes. The old saying comes true, “Those who pay the piper, call the tune”. Political parties received nearly $200 million in donations in the year leading up to the 2022 federal election. Business people always look at the ROI ( Return On Investment).
Big business employs 1,000 or more highly skilled lobbyists to politely bully politicians into doing what Big Business wants. It pays hundreds of millions of dollars to political parties and MPs as “donations”. It threatens to run multi-million dollar advertising and public relations campaigns against any politician or party who offends it.

Big Businesses, small businesses and medium businesses do need a voice to government and they need to be able to run their businesses honestly, efficiently and profitably. But there is no need for them to shape government policy so that it enriches them and impoverishes or makes life hard for millions of other Aussies.

Let’s make Australia work well for the rest of us too.

What do we want?

Many of us want good affordable housing, public health services, Gonski funding for all public schools, Tafes and universities, public transport, environment protection, protection from crime, child and aged care and good public welfare services funded by our taxes.

WHEN DO WE WANT IT?

Now! If we work together on what we want we can have it. It just requires us working together for common goals, using Votergrams to level the playing field.

People power

There are 17 million voters in Australia and they control 17 million votes that control all parliamentary careers. The Big Business Bosses would be lucky if they controlled 17,000 votes. We are the majority by a long way and that gives us everyday Aussies great power and influence when we agree on what we want.

Policies favouring Big Business have caused a disastrous situation in Australia by forcing governments to do what makes most money for the Big Business Bosses and I speak as a businessman.

People are homeless living in tents and caravans while business bosses live in mansions. Many Aussies are in unaffordable debt due to house prices and the cost-of-living-crisis, hospitals are hopelessly overcrowded and unable to deal with patient numbers, schools are being closed down or merged, education budgets and teacher training slashed, crime is prevalent on our streets with murders a regular occurrence, domestic and sexual violence in our homes is at frightening levels, doctors, nurses and teachers are overworked as politicians keep bringing in more and more migrants to enrich the Big Business Bosses. But those migrants expect, need and deserve lifetime services provided and paid for by the Australian people .

Parliaments are dependent on our votes. They need our encouragement and endorsement of strategies that will work to improve our situations. Our MPs are great people and very helpful. I have helped Australian voters deal with them since the Votergram service began in 1986. They will help us if we work together and then with them. For government to be “for the people” it needs to be “By the people” via a parliament we control, not “by Big Business” via parliament that Big Business controls.

JOIN NOW! Voters Network, input by the people for the people

To have Australia shaped to please you, join Voters Network now, free of cost and party politics. Voters Network, www.voters.au is a movement “by the voters for the voters”.

If you know what you want now, send a Votergram now.

It may be a hospital bed for a child, better facilities for a school, affordable housing or lower densities, a new hospital, a reduction in crime, mental health care, pay or tax rates, better banking services. Politicians always respond in some way and if what you seek is good, fair and honest the chances are that you will get it. If your need is urgent the chances are that you will get it quickly.

Voters can control Australian society for the benefit of the Australian people. When you want something done, it pays to go to the people with the power to make it happen. No point telling your family, friends and neighbours. Tell parliament, the body of people you elect and pay for exactly that purpose.

Votergrams

Votergrams were invented specifically to make that easy for you. You can send your 100 word message to all MPs in any Australian parliament via the website www.votergrams.au or by email to greg@votergrams.au. Votergrams are your cheap, easy and simple pathway to the most powerful people in Australia – Your Parliaments.

If you don’t big Business will continue to run Australia for its own benefit via the parliaments it controls even though they are elected and paid for by you.

Dare to be a Daniel?

Aussies who care do their share!

People think that influencing parliament requires the faith and bravery to dare to be a Daniel, but that is not so in Australia’s communal democracy. Members of Parliament are extremely helpful and value the input of voters. This superb democracy of ours is quite different to the Roman occupation of Christ’s time.

There is a far more effective way than street protests.

Our elected MPs really cannot do it on their own because they need ideas, solutions, suggestion, support from Aussies out there in our vast country. MPOs’ careers depend on doing what voters want but with 17 million voters to please, with millions of different views on anything, parliament can really only please those voters who tell every MP what is wanted. That helps them to find the MPs most interested in that topic. Ask and you will most likely receive. Don’t ask or tell the decision-makers what you want and there is not much chance of receiving it. Votergrams provide every Aussie with the chance to do some Polite Persistent Political Persuasion in the Privacy of Parliament. It has worked well for almost 40 years. It is about treating MPs as you would like to be treated yourself.

Collecting tablets from the local Pharmacy

When I collected my tablets recently, the chemist told me their generic supplier had changed. Years ago just one Votergram from a Pharmacist in Taree persuaded Parliamentarians to make generic substitutes legal, saving patients and taxpayers a mountain of money. People have shaped society by Votergram ever since 1986.

It was also pharmacists who used Votergrams to get the $1.5 billion a year Community Pharmacy Agreements that enable them to provide the cheaper medications to those who need them.

You, as an Aussie voter, can too!

How can you alone do the same – shape society? Easy!! Send Votergrams to parliament on the issues that concern you. Don’t leave the shaping of your society to the big business billionaires, ,highly paid lobbyists and vested interests alone. Even the democratic playing ground by expressing your views forcefully via www.votergrams.au. Your VoterPower is very much greater than what most people think.

Australia’s in a mess! Help find a way out.

If it is kindness that is wanted then Christians can make it happen a lot sooner by helping government make the right decisions and find the way out of the mess for everyone, particularly the most vulnerable.

Government depends on you to tell it what you want done!

Our democratic system of government depends on you who are living in the community and know what is needed. You can engage with ALL Members of Parliament and ask them to do what is needed by you and yours.

The Australian Voters Network and Votergrams

Free of party politics and government funding, the Australian Voters Network, and Votergrams are here to help you enjoy the greatest influence and impact, for the least effort.

It is little use just going to government MPs or the local MP. Government MPs obey the party. One local MP has little influence in a parliament of hundreds where the majority view prevails.

Your Votergram’s influence comes from its strategic wording that goes to each and every Member of Parliament.

Voters in control

One voter with good suggestions, ideas or requests can help guide parliament in the right direction. Inaction by good voters enable bad people to control our society instead.

Parliament is your best pathway to good government

You gain power and influence for the good of Australia and Australians. Parliament is the only part of government over which voters have any control. We have no control over public servants or bureaucrats, but we control the careers of MPs.

Begging bowls or Ballot boxes

Making change happen in Australia

Two notable failures feature in today’s media. They are the Close the Gap campaign and the Australian Legal system. The question is whether to use begging bowls or ballot boxes to effect the change.

The first illustrates how little the Close the Gap campaigners know about what makes democracy tick. They are pleading for governments to give Aboriginal Australians a fair go. Governments and their policies have resulted in the impoverishment of many Aboriginals whose land was stolen families murdered, raped and enslaved, children kidnapped imprisoned and sexually abused, education, housing and healthcare neglected and denied, all to build the pleasant affluent lifestyle that the rest of us enjoy on what was originally Aboriginal land.

Reform Package

There is a package of inter-related reforms required to provide basic safety, harmony and security within Aboriginal families and communities. Most of us would not tolerate less.

In the same media a very senior lawyer was raising the problems with the legal costs associated with court action. His point is that only the super-rich can now afford to pay for their own lawyers as big corporations are now so wealth that they pay lawyers a l fortune for good legal advice.

The rest of us depend on legal aid.

To deal with a Child Support case somewhat like the Robodebt scandal I referred a family to legal aid. I had already stopped the bank and child support from taking possession of their home and auctioning it off. But Legal Aid refused to take on their case. The senior lawyer writing in the SMH today was indicating that many Aussies are refused legal aid and so must endure injustice. Australia is going backwards in the justice area if these two stories today are any indication. Our justice system needs to be more for everyday Aussies than for the Big Business Billionaires who have priced it out of reach.

Smash the begging bowl and raise the ballot box

Campaigners mistakenly approach government pleading for the essential services like these that have been taken away or denied to our indigenous and other Aussies. That is the begging bowl approach.

I invite all those who honestly believe that all Aussies are entitled to a fair go, fair treatment and fair opportunities to help Aboriginal and less wealthy Aussies get that fair go.

Throw down the begging bowl and smash it to pieces

Put on your Voters Hat and fire up the Votergrams

Put on your VOTER’S HAT and let’s use our persuasive power as voters to make it happen. Our Votergram campaigns of polite persistent political persuasion in the privacy of parliament have encouraged and supported politicians to do great things over the past 38 years and they can accomplish these as well. It takes a bit of time money and effort but so does everything worthwhile.

The impression that these stories and the media in general might give you, is that our politicians don’t care. They care every bit as much as we do, no more and no less! We have parliaments jam-packed with the most powerful people in Australia. Most are extremely helpful when approached properly. When we show them that we care, they care. When we give them solutions instead of problems, they solve problems. It is up to us to take the lead. We elect “representatives” not “leaders”. They do what we ask to be done, if we ask for it the right way. Votergrams have helped Aussies to ask in the right way for the past 38 years. The results have been sensational.

Voters Rule!

If you care enough to help, please email me, greg@voters.au and let us work together to get things moving in the right direction in the next 3 years. By New Year’s Eve 2027 we want a real change in these two issues of fairness and justice. Only with your help can it be achieved, because in democracy “Voters Rule”. It is worth repeating – In democracy Voters Rule!

The Votergram Revelation

Government

Government bureaucrats, public servants and contractors are paid and resourced by your taxes to deliver good, honest and fair government services and infrastructure for your money.

Parliament

We elect MPs to Parliament and once elected Parliament is there to direct the bureaucrats, public servants and contractors to deliver those services and infrastructure that you need and want.

But in order to deliver to you and yours, the services you need and want, each Parliamentarian needs to know from you personally what you want and understand why. . Nobody can speak on your behalf to tell them, for they would not know whether that person had your authority or agreement. You must personally tell them if you want it done! You can easily and cheaply do that by Votergram. It is like sowing seeds of ideas in Parliament and works just like the parable of the sower.

By majority decision the parliament will generally do what is wanted by most people who give good honest reasons.

You and other voters

The careers of Members of Parliament and political parties depend on the votes of you and other voters. Every few years you can re-elect or replace them. That particularly applies when you vote in a marginal electorate or influence the votes of voters in a marginal electorate.

If you and those who think like you do not tell every MP what you want there are two outcomes:

1 The Parliament will not know what you want and will instead listen to what other voters like big business executives and rich political donors, ask for.

2 You will not be supporting your local MP who might speak in Parliament after meeting with you to seek the very things you need and want. If you have asked your local MP to raise something and you have also asked every other MP, then your local MP is far more likely to be supported by other MPs.

Credit for the result

This way the Members of Parliament can justly receive the credit for achieving what you have asked for and explained. MPs deserve that reward to counter the constant media criticism that they have to endure. If you then send a “Thank You” Votergram they are sure to give you top priority next time you want something

It is a far nicer way of achieving your goal than protesting publicly and making the MPs look stupid, for they may do what you want but next time they may well resent you for humiliating them and may ignore you.

How can Christians stop violent men attacking women?

Suggest Solutions
In Australia suggesting solutions to each and every Member of each and every Parliament by Votergram is a good start

Polite Persistent Political Persuasion in the Privacy of Parliament has been Proven to Pay off as the best Path to Progress.

If you leave violence against women to somebody else, it will never stop! Individual voters have the most power, not their non-voting organisations or protest marches. Thinking that an individual is powerless is a serious mistake since Votergrams came into being 38 years ago

It is your vote that empowers your voice!

Your vote + your voice = political power. It needs to be used strategically. If you will not use your vote to stop violence against women then your voice is as a whisper in the wind – of no consequence at all. Votergrams help you speak up persuasively. That is how democracy works.

Then monitor what individual MPs and Parties do and vote in the next election in your electorate on what your candidates and their parties have done about violent men and violence against women.

If nothing has been done to stop it, you can effectively campaign in one of the many marginal state and federal electorates held by less than 10% to elect different MPs who will stop it.

That is how democracy works!

MPs are your greatest allies

Despite the media image of them, most MPs are very helpful and keen to solve problems. On the issue of violence towards women, many men are very happy with their violence and abuse against women, because other men would not tolerate it and mostly have the strength and aggression not fight back. Men hold just as many votes as women and politicians are aware that many men do not want the violence which gives them power, to be curtailed.

Women physically, mentally and emotionally have not the strength or aggression to fight back. They are mostly loving caring people. Frequently they do not want the men to be stopped by force , but to change themselves. Perhaps it is not the nature of the male animal to do that. So the violent men need to be stopped with whatever works. Votergrams giving all MPs your idea work well because parliament is a voting forum and the majority always rules.

Votergrams work well for those prepared to put in the time, effort and a small amount of money to cover the cost.

Christ gives us the clues to stop madness massacres

We need better mental health services and only you can make it happen. Votergrams have been modelled on Christ’s teachings – the parable of the sower and good Samaritan story for two but we have followed many more of His teachings.

You will have ideas of how to stop a repeat of the Bondi knife attacks and shooting. In Australia and the US we have seen horrific mass murders by disturbed individuals. Our elected representatives do not know all the answers and whatever they do they get criticised in the media for it. So they need your input and your encouragement to act on what you suggest.

Give them solutions, not problems. How to deal with serious mental illnesses. Votergrams are the key to good government. You can have a huge influence on Australian society by just expressing your views to the decision-makers. Politicians are the foundations of democratic society and our experience is that they are very helpful and caring when approached in the right way. Votergrams are the right way because there is no party politics and every MP is given an equal chance to help.

Welcoming immigrants means meeting their needs as well as ours.

Welcome involves services

Politicians cannot bring in 737,000 migrants into Australia and not understand that in addition to our own natural increase, those migrants will need homes to live in, schools, hospitals, roads transport, food, clothing, police, courts and welfare services. That surge in demand stretches resources and increases prices. Makes Aussies homeless, forces cost of living up as more people want the same goods and services. That blunts the welcome for those new to Australia

Who knows what you need?

You know what is needed because you live in the community. We voters need to guide government to do what is needed. We pay and elect our MPs but they need our guidance as we know daily what we need. They cannot know unless we tell them. Your local MP (one in 225 for Federal and 1 in 100 for state) has no chance of influencing what is done because in Parliament the majority rules. Your Votergram reaches every MP in the parliament. It can reach every MP in every parliament.

If you don’t, others will!

If you do not help us tell parliament what you need, others like big business, banks, miners will tell them and bully them into doing what make billions for those businesses

Please do your bit, join Voters.au, free and free of any party politics and help guide government to run our society in a sensible, fair way. Government for the people needs government BY the people. Let’s work together on it.

If we don’t, we, our parents, children and grandchildren will suffer along with us.

Time to tackle taxes

Concerned about the Cost of Living Crisis; skyrocketing home mortgages; interest rates?

You can persuade politicians to guide government to tax the highest earning taxpayers more highly than lower earning taxpayers.

For decades Australians have joined Voters and used Votergrams to persuade politicians and guide government to do what the voters want.

Individual taxpayers pay 32.5% on every dollar over $45,000; 37% over $120,000; 45% over $180,000 plus 10% GST.

Big public company taxpayers pay a flat 25% on multi-billion dollar earnings and get their GST back

Voters control political careers.

Voters and Votergrams enable you to persuade politicians to do what is fair to you!

Those who remain silent cannot be heard so suffer neglect in silence.

Demonstrate in the nicest of ways, what you want done.

Educate your elected representatives about your needs.

Millions want different things. Government can’t please all, but can please you.

One poor person has the same voting power as one rich person.

Convincing politicians is a game changer for individual voters .

Remember that MPs are your “Representatives”, not your leaders.

Aim for government Action. It mostly prefers to talk, discuss, confer and defer.

Challenging the status quo requires strategic thinking and communication.

Representation works on numbers. Majority, not fairness or justice, rules.

You can move metaphorical mountains the Votergram way if it is WJWD .
