The New Left?
Reflecting on my last garbled emission has led me further down the road towards "GOMBADS" or for those of you not inside me head "getting of my backside and doing something".
Listening to the Minister in charge of Amnesia, cuddly Lexi Downer reinforces this. If our government can be so cynical, so manipulative and such master dissemblers, surely a change is indicated.
I sit to the left, no secret there, so I guess I see something from that side of the scale as being my own personal "GOMBAD", but what?
I still favour the notion of a new politcal alignment, leave the rightists to Labor, merge Greens and Democrats into the "Greenacrats", but will this do the trick?
Not sure,
What do I want?
Here is the Caerdadh manifesto, feel free to shout at me, or ignore as you wish.
- Third World Debt, work towards its elimination, enforce the millenium goals.
- Choice, it is not my right to tell my Wife/Partner etc what to do with her reproductive system.
-Education, massively increase the funding. Get people who actually know what they are talking about to review curriculum. It is not a place for politicians
-Make it illegal to tie funding to other things for example the ridiculous, no flagpole no funding policy of the Liberal Government. Patriotism is illogical in a Globalised World.
-Burn the FTA's
-Massive tarrifs on sweatshop goods.
-Quality universal healthcare.
-Alternative Energy to form 30% of consumption in 20 years (sounds suspiciously like a policy)
-Revoke the current IR laws. Rewrite with the quaint old fashioned notion of fairness to the employee at their heart.
-The military is a tool of defence only.
-Anyone advocating Mandatory Detention should be placed in Mandatory Detention (can't help but feel the policy would go away very quickly, and don't give me the ridiculous "they might be terrorists" argument the 9/11 terrorists were in America legally, the UK bombers were citizens)
-Racial Vilification Laws
-Just say Sorry for God's sake!
-Aboriginal health to be a priority.
-Quality subsidised housing.
I might stop now, I feel all weak and dizzy.
