11 - MASS ORGANISING - Rein in these muppets

0:00mass-organizing, rain in these muppets. Following RBA Governor Michelle Bullock's interest rate hike, forcing Aussies to tighten their belts even further, Treasurer Jim Charmers has foreshadowed further austerity in the upcoming budget. This is on top of a fuel crisis that will not only hurt us at the petrol pump. Our nation is reliant on imported diesel and petrol for the bulk of its daily production, so costs will rise across the board. Growing and transporting food, along with other essential goods, relies on diesel, not to mention emergency backup energy systems such as in our hospitals. What's the difference between Australia and a third world country? Energy. For all our modern conveniences and lifestyle, it falls apart without energy inputs, and we are living precariously close to the edge. The good news, as witnessed in the South Australian election, is that the population is revolting against the major parties. They are demanding real solutions, which we can supply. Those solutions are typified by the interventions we have made into two big fights occurring right now,

1:05over banking and security. The cash fight. As you can listen to on Tracks 1 and 2, the government is stinging as a result of our campaign to expose the fraud of their so-called cash mandate. We laid the basis for this fight with the regional banking inquiry established with then-Senator Gerard Renek and collaborators, who have assisted in the push over recent weeks, including Dale Webster Martin North and Jason Bryce of the Cash Welcome campaign. Mobilizing the population to intervene in a targeted and specific way, posing real solutions rather than simply expressions of rage, is our superpower. The A-ZO fight. The bill to make A-ZO secret policing powers permanent may come up for a vote in the Senate next week. Without us, this bill would have already sailed through both chambers. Last Friday, citizens' party chairman Robert Barwick dropped a fold afield with copies of the petition. Repeal, don't expand A-ZO's authoritarian secret police powers into the office of the member for Will's peter-colol MP to be tabled in Parliament.

2:06Diverting bankers. A team of four led by Des White set up the ACP marquee on a traffic island in the dead heart of Brisbane's banking district for four hours, generating discussions, and a few signatures on the A-ZO and postal bank petitions. Who were the ACP and what have they ever done for you flyers were distributed? The kryptonite factor was evident as hordes of people. No doubt including bankers, preferred to walk in the gutter rather than cross our path. That only makes those who did stop to get involved all the more precious, like diamonds in the rough.
