Agriculture

The prices paid to farmers for agricultural produce should be controlled by the government, as in the United States and the European Union. The price should not depend on market forces, but on the quality of the produce and the time of year. The prices should go up whenever there is a drought until a considerable time after the end of the drought.

There should be financing for farmers who have been put out of business by Labor governments, to enable them to buy farms and go back into farming. The government should publish a list of farmers who were in business before Labor came to power, as well as the heirs of such farmers. The four major banks should be required to provide financial assistance to these people in the form of low interest loans. The amount of such assistance should depend on the farmer’s level of training, for example, a farmer with a degree in agricultural science should be entitled to more assistance than a farmer with no qualifications.

Censorship

Censorship should be reintroduced. A permit should be needed before anyone can publish a book or film. A permit should be needed to become a journalist. Before the Counter-culture Movement of the 1960s, it was generally accepted that people should not be able to publish whatever they like. They should only be allowed to publish what is pleasing to the state. Material that has already been published and that is considered unacceptable should be confiscated. Pornography and horror should be banned, but violence on television should be encouraged as it was in the 1950s.

Defence

Australia should have a nuclear deterrent against its principal enemy, the Vatican. This should consist of atomic bombs hidden in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New York, Dublin and Tel Aviv. The bombs will already be at the targets, so will not be affected by any trillion dollar anti-ballistic missile system.

The bombs should not be under the control of the Prime Minister or Cabinet, as that would make them targets for assassination. Instead there should be a parliamentary committee of ten who should live in an underground bunker with their families. After a year they should be replaced by another ten. They should be able to trigger one or more of the bombs. This might be done, for example, if American warships board Australian merchant ships.

All Australian males who have not attended Catholic schools should have to join the Army Reserve. Women should not be permitted in the military, as it is unnatural and the cause of the current high turnover in military personnel. American bases should be closed. The telephone system should be redesigned to prevent conversations being intercepted by the Americans. Islamic freedom fighters such as Hamas and Hezbollah whose causes are considered to be just should be allowed to set up training camps and governments in exile in Australia.

Discrimination

Being able to discriminate is a basic human right, and hence anti-discrimination laws should be abolished. People who are adversely affected by discrimination will have the remedy of conforming to mainstream values.

Native title should be abolished, and government land transferred to Aborigines as a result of the High Court’s corrupt Mabo decision should go back to the government without compensation. Aborigines who set up tent embassies should be stripped of their Australian citizenship and sent back to their own country (Papua New Guinea).

Alcohol should be banned in remote Aboriginal communities. All remote Aboriginal communities should have a swimming pool. The introduction of the patronage system will go a long way to alleviating the hardships that Aborigines have had to put up with during decades of Labor governments.

Australian citizens who are not of British or Aborigine descent will become permanent residents of Australia. Some Australian citizens who meet immigration criteria of fitting into mainstream culture will retain their Australian citizenship. Permanent residents who previously were citizens will not be able to vote or obtain a passport, but will be able to obtain a certificate of identity to travel overseas.

Dress Code

It should be compulsory for men to have short haircuts. Women should not be allowed to dress like prostitutes, but should have to wear dresses, with no low cut dresses, split skirts, or skin showing around the waist. Denim jeans, tattooes and nose rings should be banned. Anyone who is inappropriately dressed should be arrested.

Women should be allowed to wear track suits for exercise, and one piece bathing suits at beaches and swimming pools, but this gear should not be worn in shopping centres or other public areas. It should be compulsory for women to have long hair. The wearing of hats or headscarves by Australian women, as was popular in the 1960s, should initially be compulsory for public servants, and should eventually be compulsory for all Australian women.

Education

Catholic schools should be nationalised, as they at present indoctrinate children with ideas that are the opposite of those held by mainstream Australians. This has produced an “Enemy Within” of Irish Catholics, who used to be like other Australians in the 1950s, but who are now essentially another ethnic group. All schools, including Anglican schools, should become co-educational to discourage homosexuality, with each school having fifty percent boys and fifty percent girls.

All schools should have a syllabus of English, Latin, Greek, Optional Language, History, Mathematics, Business, Technology, Culture, Religion, Sport, Martial Arts, and Military Training. Business for Year 1 pupils should include how to buy things from shops, and how it is ethical to buy things and sell them for a profit. Military Training for Year 1 pupils should include how to tie knots and identify poisonous plants. There should be a different curriculum for boys and girls. Technology for boys should include vehicle repairs, while Technology for girls should include gourmet cooking.

All tertiary education, including university education, should be structured as apprenticeships. All university students should have part-time jobs, for example, law students as police, and medical students as nurses and ambulance officers. The government should subsidise the pay of apprentices. Students who get high marks should be paid more than students who get low marks. Students who get in the top 50% of the class should get a generous bonus, and students who get in the top 25% of the class should get another generous bonus.

The University of Sydney should be converted into an elite university like Oxford or Cambridge. The admission standards should be tightened. The pay for students and staff should be increased. The best academics in the country should be transferred there.

Most Australian universities should be renamed polytechnics, and should award diplomas instead of degrees. An Australian diploma should have the stature of an American degree. Only really smart people like Albert Einstein should be given Australian degrees. There should only be one university in each state, other than New South Wales, as there are not enough people who are this smart to justify having more universities.

Energy

Numerous nuclear power stations should be built. Exports of coal should be banned. Coal should only be used to make diesel oil, aviation petrol and bitumen. Cars should be converted to run on ethanol (methylated spirits) made from sugar cane. City buses should be replaced by electric trams. Wind turbines should only be allowed if they are designed to look like the windmills that were in use before the Industrial Revolution.

Family Law

If a husband and wife separate, the husband should get custody of the children, unless the wife proves that she is not to blame for the separation. The spouse who does not get custody of a child should get access to the child for one day a week. If a child is born to an unmarried mother, she and the father should lose custody of the child. Family law cases should be heard in private.

Parents should have control over their children until they are twenty-one years old. Obviously people are able to fend for themselves before they are twenty-one, but that is beside the point. Parents should be financially responsible for unlawful actions committed by their children up until they are twenty-one.

If someone becomes unemployed or incapacitated and needs the financial assistance of the state, the state should be able to recover the cost of this assistance from the person’s next of kin. This will ensure that parents raise their children to provide a financial contribution to society rather than a drain, since any such drain on society will become a financial problem for the parents.

Health

The standard of health care provided by Medicare should be upgraded to a similar standard to that currently provided by private health insurance. People who suffer catastrophic accidents should have their medical costs paid by Medicare, and should not be entitled to sue anyone for damages, unless the person being sued has acted inexcusably. Health professionals who are ordered to pay damages should be required to perform one hour of community service for every $1000 of damages, since in practice the damages are paid by the insurance company, not the doctor.

Water supplies in towns and cities should be fluoridated. Vaccination should be compulsory, but people should have several months to make their own vaccination arrangements unless there is an epidemic. Pregnant women should be tested to see if the embryo has a genetic disorder, while the embryo is still at a non-human stage, and any embryo with a disorder should be aborted. Ten percent of gross domestic product should be spent on medical research.

Holidays

Labor Day should be abolished. November 5 should become a public holiday, Guy Fawkes Day, and the Melbourne Cup should be held that day. For two weeks before Guy Fawkes Day, fireworks should be allowed to be sold to school children.

The Queen’s Birthday should be celebrated on April 21, the day the Queen was actually born. Since this is close to April 25, Anzac Day should not be celebrated on April 25, but on May 29. This is the anniversary of the capture of Istanbul by Turkey, which was the main reason for the Gallipoli landings. Only men who have served or are currently serving in the military will be able to take part in Anzac Day parades or wear medals in public. September 11 should become a public holiday, Pentagon Day, even though it is to some extent a day of humiliation, since the Pentagon was taken out by Arabs and not by Australians.

Australia has almost as few holidays as North Korea, and should have the following new holidays: Epiphany, Assumption, Whit Monday, Trafalgar Day (October 21) and Armistice Day (November 11). Easter Monday and Boxing Day will continue as public holidays. Shops will not be permitted to open on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays except for service stations and mixed businesses.

Immigration

As a general rule, immigration should be restricted to people who fit into our society, that is, people from Britain, Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland, as well as white South Africans and Orthodox Christians. An exception should be made in the case of refugees. For example, Sheik Asama bin Laden was an enemy of the Vatican, which is Australia’s main enemy, and hence he was a distinguished ally of Australia and should have been given refugee status.

Australia should allow guest workers from Indonesia who can stay for up to two years. Guest workers will need to work at a very low rate of pay such as one dollar an hour. Initially female guest workers will be allowed to work as housekeepers and nannies. This will not compete with Australian workers as most Australians can’t afford to pay for housekeepers. Eventually guest workers will be allowed to work as nurses, truck drivers, and other occupations where no expertise is needed.

Industrial Relations

The main problem with the industrial relations system is that virtually all trade union officials are Catholics. People who have attended Catholic schools should be banned from involvement in trade unions. There is nothing wrong with trade unions in principle, but strikes and pickets should be banned. Minimum rates of pay and working conditions should be set by a parliamentary committee.

Internal Security

It should be illegal to hold a protest march without a permit. Taking part in an illegal protest march should be regarded as treason. In the same way that bank robbers are currently liable to be shot dead by the police, so protesters should be liable to summary execution, but in practice the police will only execute the ringleaders if that is enough to end the protest.

In the James Bond stories, the British Empire had about a dozen assassins, the 00- section, who went around killing enemies of the state who were usually foreign spies. With the large number of “fifth columnists” in Australia, we need several thousand such assassins. The situation in Australia is such that the assassins could not count on help from government departments, so should operate in the manner of terrorists.

The 00- section should not be funded out of the consolidated revenue, but should requisition any goods they need, for example by asking banks to hand over money at gunpoint. The bank can then claim the money back from the state as a tax deduction. The 00- section should not be recruited by the state, but rather people who think they have what it takes should simply commence their duties.

Judicial System

Many Australian courts are regarded by the Australian public as being corrupt. For example, the Chief Judge of the Family Court claims that 6% of Australians believe the Family Court is corrupt, although the actual figure is probably much larger (6% of Australians is about a million people). The perception that courts are corrupt is the result of Catholic judges abusing their position to apply Catholic values instead of the law.

Catholic schools have encouraged their pupils to believe that they should subvert the legal system to produce outcomes that are in accordance with Catholic values. They do this by not reporting crimes to the police, by the police not taking action against criminals, by lawyers conspiring with criminals, by witnesses giving false evidence, and by jurors and judges not making the correct decision. The state should take notice of what schools are teaching and act accordingly. This means that Catholics should have no part in the judicial system.

One of the courts that the public regard as corrupt is the High Court. Contrary to popular belief, it will not take an amendment of the Australian Constitution to sort out the High Court. All it will take is to amend the High Court of Australia Act to increase the number of judges from seven to fifteen, and then appoint eight honest judges, who will be then able to outvote the corrupt judges.

The jury system is an important safeguard against judicial corruption. This is why the Labor Party is systematically abolishing the jury system. A party in any court case should be entitled to have the facts decided by a jury without having to pay a fee. The question of whether a judge should be disqualified on the ground of bias should be decided by a jury.

Costs should not be awarded in a court case unless someone has brought a case which had no reasonable prospect of success. In a criminal case, the jury should be able to decide that the state should pay the defendant’s costs. Lawyers should be able to represent clients on a “contingency fee” basis, which is similar to the “no win no fee” basis, except that lawyers get a proportion of the damages as an incentive to risk their time and money. There should be no filing fee for court cases, just as there is no filing fee for reporting a crime to the police. Legal aid will be abolished, and instead every Judge will be assigned a “Counsel Assisting the Court”, who will provide legal representation to those who cannot afford a lawyer.

Law & Order

The police should be required to respond instantly to emergency calls, as they used to do before Labor governments changed the practice. The police should be required to enforce all laws strictly. For example, using obscene language is illegal in most parts of Australia, but the law is not enforced by the police, as Catholics don’t think there is anything wrong in swearing. Similarly with illegal drugs and prostitution.

Drug addicts and homosexuals should be treated not as criminals but as being incapacitated. People with these incapacities should be cured of their problems at a detention centre. In the case of homosexuals, this cure should consist of castration followed by cosmetic surgery, so that the person continues to look like a male and to have a deep voice like a male.

The police should have the power to apply to a court for a warrant to question a suspect using “truth serum”. Experts should be brought in from Russia who are familiar with the kind of interrogation methods used by the Americans at Guantanamo Bay. Confessions made by people while under the influence of drugs such as alcohol, sodium pentothal or other “truth serum” should be admissable in evidence.

The sentences handed down by Australian courts are much more lenient than those handed down by American courts. Clearly it is Australian courts that are out of line. It is not enough for crime legislation to say what the maximum sentence is. Such legislation should be amended to give all the possible mitigating circumstances, and how much time can be taken off the maximum sentence for each mitigating circumstance. Often judges take forty years off the maximum sentence when they should only take two years off. Prisoners should not be released on parole until they have served at least eighty percent of their sentence.

The death penalty should be reintroduced and applied to all those who should have got it in the past, including for things that were not illegal at the time of the offence. The bodies of executed criminals should be used for transplants for hospital patients who need kidneys and such.

Local Government

States and territories should be abolished and replaced by approximately 100 counties. Each county will have a county council elected by residents eligible to vote. A county council will elect a Lord Mayor as chief executive of the county. Counties will be responsible for law and order, town planning, roads, underground services, hospitals and social security. A county council will appoint County Court Judges and Magistrates, who will hold office for seven years. A county council will appoint a Chief of Police and Chief Prosecutor, who may be dismissed by the council any time it pleases.

It should not be possible for anyone to move into most Australian neighbourhoods unless they are approved in a referendum by two-thirds of the existing residents. The residents of a suburb should be able to expel undesirable neighbours by a referendum, in which case the “Neighbours from Hell” should have to sell their house and move somewhere else. Each suburb or neighbourhood should be surrounded by a six metre high reinforced concrete wall. The entrance should have a police checkpoint, and only people who the residents approve of should be allowed in.

Too many people live in Australian capital cities. Residents and companies should need to obtain a permit to remain in a major city. For example, if a company cannot get a permit to remain in Sydney, it should need to move its factory to somewhere like Wollongong.

Patronage System

The patronage system should be re-introduced into Australia. Under the patronage system, everyone is either a client or a patron or both. As an illustration of how the system works, your mother and father are your patrons, and you are their client. They pay your bills, and in return, you do things for them such as wash their cars.

To give another example, to become an officer in the U.S. Navy, a would-be cadet had to go to the U.S. Naval Academy. Admission there for many years was not based on academic merit, but on patronage. Each U.S. Senator was able to nominate two cadets to go to the Academy. So you could not go to the Academy unless you were able to persuade a U.S. Senator to nominate you. Hence the Senator was the patron and the cadet was the client. Another example is in the famous novel “The Godfather”, a factually incorrect account of the Mafia. In the novel, the Mafia boss was depicted as a patron and the funeral director as one of his clients.

At the moment, people in Australia get many things as of right, even though they have done nothing to deserve them. Many people get unemployment benefit as of right. This is not how things should be. People should only get unemployment benefit if they have a patron who has access to the social security system and who thinks they deserve unemployment benefit. To go to university, people should have to deserve this privilege, by doing such things for their patron as going to church every Sunday.

Religion

Only the religions of antiquity should be allowed to operate in Australia, and in particular, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. New religions such as Scientology or Falun Gong should be banned. Christianity should be the state religion, and people should not be permitted to convert from Christianity to other religions.

All letters sent by government departments, such as your telephone bill, should have as their first paragraph, “In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” This will be similar to the Moslem custom which the Prophet Mohammed, may his name be praised, copied off the early Christians.

The Eastern Orthodox Church should become Australia’s state religion - see our page, “Why the Orthodox Church is the Best”. The Orthodox Church will take over the property and congregations of the Anglican Church, the Uniting Church and the Catholic Church, on the basis that the property of the congregations of those denominations has been hijacked by those clerics currently in charge. The official church will have similar ceremonies to those of the Anglican Church before the Second World War.

System of Government

The ideal system of government is oligarchy - see our page, “Oligarchy, the Utopian System”. As an intermediate phase, however, it would be desirable to introduce Citizen Initiated Referenda, like they have in California. Any elector could register a proposed Act of Parliament with the Electoral Commissioner. Then he or she would have to get the signatures of 5% of voters to say that they want a referendum to be held. If the person succeeded in getting the signatures, a referendum would be held at the next General Election.

At the General Election, voters would be given a list of proposed laws, and asked to vote on whether they approve or disapprove of each. Alternatively they could vote for a ticket, for example, the Labor ticket, in which case this would be the same as voting for the alternatives nominated by the Labor Party. If a majority of persons voting in the election voted in favour of a proposed law, it would then be enacted, even if it contained provisions which were invalid or didn’t make any sense. A law approved by a referendum could be repealed only if two-thirds of all the members of the Houses in a Parliament voted to repeal it.

The next phase of improving our system of government should be to restrict the right to vote. It has been found historically to be best if only one in every 400 people is allowed to vote. This works out to about 45,000 leading citizens in Australia who should be allowed to vote. They should each be given a hereditary commission which gives them the right to vote. The commission should carry with it a hereditary knighthood, for example, “Sir Dave Slow”. The commission would be inherited by the “number one son”, unless the father put in his will that it was to be inherited by another of the father’s natural sons.

These leading citizens would run the country. To get anything from the government, you would need to have as your patron one of these leading citizens or one of their clients. These leading citizens would hold all the key positions in the country, such as the Managing Director of Australia Post or the Magistrate in Wagga Wagga.

Australia should still remain a constitution monarchy, with the Royal Family being the pre-eminent leading citizens. The Australian Citizenship Act should be amended to confer Australian citizenship on the members of the Royal Family. If Australians can have dual Vietnamese and Australian citizenship, then Prince Charles should have dual British and Australian citizenship. Members of the Royal Family should be given preference for appointment as Governor-General or State Governor. A number of Royal Palaces should be built in Australia.

Trade

Australia’s major trading partners should be countries that are sympathetic to our mainstream values, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Japan, India, Russia and New Zealand. These countries should be given “most favoured” trading status with relatively low tariffs on their exports, while imports to Australia from other countries should have high tariffs paid to Australian customs.

Continue to the next section, or return to the top



Unemployment

The introduction of the patronage system will go a long way to ending unemployment. Patrons will be able to arrange jobs for unemployed people. For example, it might be a condition of a company remaining in Sydney that they employ more people than they otherwise would have employed.

The need to end unemployment will be made more pressing by the exclusion of Catholics from professions such as journalism. These people are accustomed to being employed, and will cause trouble unless work is found for them. To this end, the state should embark on a massive programme of public works, to construct nuclear power plants, oil-from-coal plants, desalination plants, aqueducts, canals, railways, tramways, fortifications, missile sites and warships. The extent of this programme would depend on the number of jobs required. The state should raise taxation to whatever level is needed to pay for the necessary public works to end unemployment.
