BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY.

Category: rights, or rather lack of them.

It has been said that your rights, property and life is not safe when the legislature is in session. More so when the so called democracy is a farce as it is right now in Australia with both the lower and upper houses being controlled by the Liberal party.

Following a series of revolutionary laws, designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, we are now heading at reducing our own democratic rights.
At the time we are bleeding incredible ammount of resources alienating half the planet, fighting wars all in the name of spreading democracy, here at home new laws have been passed designed to lessen peoples rights.

Some of the farsical changes are:

  • Convicted criminals will now lose their right to vote.
    According to the Liberal party, 'Because all australians agree'.
    Naturally, nothing to do with the fact that lower socio-economic classes tend to vote labour. I think its a brilliant idea, take a person from the fringes of the society and rehabilitate them by ensuring that now they trully feel an outcast.

  • The secret donations have been increased from $1,500 to $15,000 for individuals and $90,000 for companies. Now, companies and individuals can buy favours from the government in secret.

  • Aborigines and the youth will have their right to vote reduced by changes to registration process. Once again, not the demographic group that tends to vote for the Liberals.


I for one, welcome our new democratic overlords.
