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

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.

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 .
