People should be aware that the medium we call television is
an advertising medium, where the messages in between 'programming' are messages
to entice you (the 'consumer') to commit to a purchase.
When Australia's federal or state governments resort to
television advertisements your instinct should tell you that the products are dodgy.
Not too long ago, a huge advertising campaign that was put on Australian
television, was one that asked people to conduct a business transaction with
the Australian Bureau of Statistics in providing that business with your
private and personal data, where what you were not told about was that the data
you provided previously was sold for $41 million by the ABS.
With the government controlled communications medium we now
call the internet succumbing to commercialisation and with the advent of 'social
media', everyday people (whatever that means), the average Joe or the serfs are now able to
publish content in a raw and unedited format which may have previously been
stopped by the manipulators of society called media moguls in order to suppress
the truth that may not have been so flattering for governments.
The video of the title Collateral Murder by Wikileaks is
just one example of exposing government corruption, with this instance being on
the war in Iraq, where also Google was trying to cover up this video on Youtube,
by modifying its search logarithm so that users could not find it.
Social media platforms have helped spread information (let's
put misinformation aside for now), where people would go further than the
mainstream media, by supplying documentation which shows, proves or alleges
misbehaviour or corruption or criminal activity by persons in various
government departments.
With regards to taxation in Australia, there are many
references by the mainstream media and persons on social media that point to corporations
paying zero or minuscule amounts of tax, operating in tax havens which are
supported by those in governments, and even blatantly practicing tax avoidance
procedures.
So in order to dumb down the general population, the
Australian government has gone on a 'spending spree' to tell the herd
population that all is well and only now (from 2018) they're going to implement
a 'fairer' tax system, which states that 95% of Australians will pay less
income tax under the changes made in 2018.
Companies have been around for quite some time, (e.g. East
India Company, 1600) and they've been screwing people over since their
inception, where this could be difficult for the average Joe to comprehend, but
that is an entirely different topic no doubt worth a few volumes.
MANY multinationals, the likes of Apple, Facebook, Google
and Microsoft (and that's just in the IT sector) have been screwing the hard working Aussie 'mums
and dads' of their tax dollars, as they are the ones who have to make up the
deficiency, where only now that Australian Government has implemented a
'fairer' tax system.
Broadly speaking with regards to the law and economics, you
can be certain for sure that as time goes on, the Australian Government does
very little to be 'fairer' to the Australian people.
In economic terms your Australian dollar is losing value
every single year, and the so called great Australian 'dream' of owning your
home is becoming more distant every year from becoming a reality.
Austerity has been hitting the Australian people harder
since World War II, but too many are asleep or ignorant to notice this, where
this is compounded by the Australian Government sending out false messages over
the years culminating in the pinnacle of false information in television commercials
regarding a 'fairer' tax system.
Remember the Australian Government hid the truth from you (the
constituents) regarding the secret talks between Whitlam and the U.K. Monarch.
Are those the actions of an honest government?
