Aussie democracy is looking like a disaster!!
Robodebt
Robodebt is the largest extortion racket in Australia’s history. Yet it has been run by the very people we pay and entrust to run our country fairly and justly. It is hard to believe that despite all the warnings that the assumptions behind this scheme were false, they persisted. Australians should be expressing their views by
Votergram and joining the
Voters Network to help ensure that this does not happen again.
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. These Australian Government extortionists were absolutely corrupted by the power we had invested in them. The flaws would have been obvious to a school student. These extortionists caused two of their victims to take their own lives. These are the gutter trash of Australian society.
Trashing Trust
How could we possibly be stupid enough to ever trust our government institutions again. Even our elected MPs and Ministers conspired with the bureaucrats and public servants to extort money from some 400,000 people. $750,000 has been repaid to their victims and by going to court against the government, victims will receive $548,000 in damages which we taxpaying voters will pay.
None of the extortionists are to be prosecuted.
That is the damning conclusion of this disgusting affair that destroys our trust. It is fair to believe that most Members of Parliament are fair and honest. That has been our experience with
Votergrams for 40 years. But if all those public servants, all those bureaucrats and all those MPs and Ministers who colluded in this extortion are not to be prosecuted and gaoled, what are we to believe? All we can believe is that they all agree that the Australian people are fair game. Australians surely cannot trust their parliamentarians, bureaucrats or public servants any more.
Guiding government
It was back in1986 that we established the
Votergram service to help voters guide their government. Robodebt shows that we still need to do that. In fact we need to do it more today as the population has also grown beyond the ability of our parliament to govern it properly. FairGO was established as a NFP, because only by funding it ourselves can voters be be independent enough to query government. Robodebt shows how it treats people it does not care about.
