Title: – True Leadership – – we are yet to experience the way it was meant to be – | Author: EYE-BALL Opinion | 6th June 2013 | |
Leadership is on the mind constantly – in recent times it is the lack of that prompts concern and angst.
Who among our previous Leaders understood Australia – all of Australia, its People, its Industry, its desires, its resources, its indigenous occupiers, the island context, the convict heritage, the Head of State concept, there is a need to embrace and understand it all before anyone can hope to satisfy the needs of the Nation. Walking backwards –
None of the above Prime Ministers offered Australia anything other than party politics – some did tried to be different but were frustrated by factional structures and individual ambitions. An observation might be that none truly governed for Australian’s, and that is an extreme failing in the choices Australian’s had to choose from. The people have to have confidence in their Leader – confidence as different to party loyalty – a belief that they have some idea in how to run a Nation as opposed to beating the other side with opposing positions and pistols drawn … Bi-Partisan support is a must if Government is to get the respect of the people – without it the Nation is divided and that can never be a good thing. When was the last time that Question Time showed genuine respect for the other side … both sides are guilty – all are guilty … Policy on Immigration, Indigenous affairs, Defence, National Security, Health, and Education – the policy for each of these areas should all be agreed to via bi-partisan cooperation. Australia’s interests are damaged if both sides fight and don’t agree in these areas, and the public brawling over one another’s deficiencies divide us further. Having two mainstream Political Party’s that form our choices for Government – one who supports the working class, the other the employers and Business sector create the divide. Neither will ever come together to unite the Nation. Our convict heritage is entrenched in our belief in the ‘haves’, and ‘have nots’ – and that cultural handicap is with us forever … Politician’s created and foster the divide, and as each side gets a stint at the helm – the trenches on both sides become more engrained – it’s a WWI thinking and the Leaders and their party powerbrokers have the same General’s perspective as they did in WWI – sheer insanity in their belief that their way is the only way … The National Party have align with the Liberals to help out farmers and the like … but as Australian’s we need to know that who ever is in power will have all our backs and Govern for the whole of the Nation – and not for the secular groups that fund their election campaigns – i.e. Unions and Big Business … We are no closer than we were 100 years ago to evolving as a Global Democracy whilst our Leaders continue to have these selfish party instincts – to reject everything a Government proposes when in Opposition, and/or a Government who don’t give a shit about what the other side cares about – nothing will change. As an example – nobody can say that this current Government is not the worst in living memory – neither side would pour water on the other if they were on fire … in most cases they would both light the fires … Watching Senate Hearings, the HOR and the Upper House give us good reason to blame our Leaders for the divide created … and it will take a Leader with a vision 10 times what Gillard or Abbott offer to make this Nation come together. The re-emergence of the Republic debate in recent days showing Swan and Turnbull holding hands selling a joint message about becoming a Republic is a distraction and an example of selfish interests. Neither thinks the other worthy in any other forum and is an example of the gross hypocrisy on display in our so called Democracy every day of the week. The attacks in the House this week by the Government against State Governments who don’t support the Gillard Gonski plan is another example of how divided politics and policy has become. Gillard threatens to punish States who do not agree with her plan – as if her plan is the best and only plan … the hubris in that ultimatum is the example of how divided the Nation has become and no election result will meld it back together again. The Abbott Government are just as hellbent on their choices and it will be more of the same and that is the wrong. What Leader can get us past this party politics divide … what Leader will yield and extend an open hand to the other side for better Government? The minority Government of the last three years was an experiment in bi-partisan politics – the Greens, The Independents, all had their price to support the Party they supported to form Government. It was not a willing agreement because both extracted financial and policy gains in trade for their coercion … bribes and payoffs by another name. Democracy is Government of the people – and putting the Greens with 11+% of the vote in a position to demand the ‘Carbon Tax’ to do a deal for Gillard to form Government – how is that Government of the people … Green voters got their want – but they represent 11+% of the vote – the informal vote was higher in the 2010 election. How does that serve the will of the people? Wilkie was offered a $billion hospital – Windsor and Oakeshott had their hands out as well … and all that has got us is three years of the worst Government outcome possible… As the Nation limps to a September election – people believe relief will embrace them … it will be more of the same and within six months it’ll be everybody complaining about Abbott’s choices … There is an option – make ‘None of the Above’ the most popular vote and have our political leaders forced to accept change – if enough people make the statement that they don’t support either side of the political equation – it will force change … that might take a decade to get right … but that beats $100’s billions of ALP debt and $100’s billions of Coalition cuts and the like as both sides square up against one another … Surely the divide is a place where all Leaders should meet and talk policy – not the powerbrokers and special interest groups wanting favours … policy should be about what is best for the majority, not the minority … Many will say this opinion is naive – and perhaps it is. To think that Political Parties can be aligned on common interests – would that not be a great thing … please think a little deeper first before you throw out the messenger before you really understand the message … |

Title: – The Gender Debate – – and “MANDATED ELEVATION” – | Author: EYE-BALL Opinion | 4th June 2013 | |
The gender equality debate has raged for generations and continues to do so. In that timeframe an outsiders perspective might advocate that men have allowed themselves to be seduced by the fairer sex to help the feminist movement move forward.
It is that ‘seduction’ that fosters a thought that as women use their womanly favours to get what they want – logic allows the opinion that the feminist agenda and its ‘privilege creep’ is a result of that ‘seduction’ and begs the question as to how far it will go. That advancement has sometimes been achieved through sheer intimidation, open and militant threats to withdraw sex within marriage, and other formats all aimed at making men feel uncomfortable with their lot and their assertive controls over women. History shows the gender battle has been forged by some outstanding feminists with policy platforms that could not be argue against. It’s was always a yield based on a logic to ‘keep the peace’ – and to ‘not upset the women’ … it was in many ways a pity agreement formed from a man’s perspective to keep women happy. Was that man’s guilt at having it too good – or was it a simple way to get their women back into bed willingly? This advancement has come far – women are now the deciding force in all western elections – it is where media campaigns are targeted, won and lost. Politicians now live and die on the will of women voters as they vote for charm and charisma above policy and logic – WOW – did those words just come forward or were they formed as a part of a inner belief? Generally – men have cowered from the advance – they are simpletons and they enjoy their sex willingly offered as opposed to begrudgedly yielded. Imagine if the ‘right to vote’ was refused and was still the case today – stupid, ridiculous you might advocate …but reflect for a moment – how has giving women the voting changed society, changed the way our Governments function? Every female Leader in State and at the Federal level has been kicked from office – assuming Gillard is headed the same way come September 14th. How many States have given a women a 2nd chance – none that I know of – Kirner, Lawrence, Bligh, Keneally – all gone and their States have never had a female Premier since. The current Tasmanian Premier may become the exception … ? But rest assured – it will be a long time before Australian’s elect another female PM … we never really elected this one and the way she became PM is a stigma on all female politicians. This post is not meant as an opinion story about whether the question on equality is right or wrong, the question is about a subject that was raised in a story published a few days ago – ‘mandated elevation’ … Read story below:
The ALP have a gender mandate that wants to have women make up 40% of all ALP elected members. Surely a mandate in this context is flawed – surely the best person, female or male should be the bench mark. If not – how many males who bust a gut to get ahead and strive are beaten by a mandated quota of female appointments. Is that not a reverse sexism argument. Surely our society has evolved to a point where women want the need to be embellished beyond their abilities. The concept of total equality is misguided in its origins – there are things women can do that no man can ever do and vice versa. Women and Men are not the same there are differences, strengths and weakness’, genes and societal differences, and despite all the advances made to try and bridge the equality gap – are men and women any happier with their lot? It is a debate akin to handling a live grenade with the pin pulled – ask women if they are happier wearing the responsibilities they now bear … single motherhood is at its highest level .. why? Is the feminist movement impacting on mothers and their role as nurtures – instincts that men will take another 100 years or so to figure out … This is born of ‘Political Correctness’ and it’s a soft-cock debate – if men refused women the vote back in the early 1900’s would society be as promiscuous, as materialistic, as selfish, or as destructive when it comes to divorce and separation … women seem to be driving all these issues. Would men have become cowards to women’s issues as they now do – none will stand up and say what they feel for fear of retribution as a sexist … Would they have confusion issues surrounding women as their bosses, women challenging the role normally played by fathers and husbands, and would men be second guessing themselves over their abilities to satisfy their women given the expectations of women these days? A man now has to think twice before he bats an eye at a women – yet women take their partners at will … men are scared of women who are assertive and can that be a good thing society … The wheel has turned and for it to be OK to accept and expect mandated elevation based on gender, then that is another reason for man to feel despised and persecuted … Where can this end – and there is only one answer … badly for children and their ability to understand 1000’s of years of evolved society … all ditched within a 100 years … |

Title: – Revisiting the Past – – A post some two years ago has relevance today … | Author: EYE-BALL Opinion | 30th May 2013 | |
There has been some intelligent comments in recent days on a post some two years ago – it is appropriate that the post be revisited again – the post can be read in its original format here …
In the two years since – what has improved … it is a depressing assessment and no wonder Australia is angry … I watched Question Time today – and Albanese’s childish behaviour when denying or accepting Tabled documents is indicative of everybody in the House – how many evictions … warnings … none have respect for the office or the Leaders sitting opposite one another. Outside the House the hubris continued with Albanese and Gillard claiming moral ground on the electoral funding because Abbott renege … can’t they see that this bites them just as much … how blind these mice of men are … Revolution is one answer – the election can’t come quick enough … how can a Nation focus on success with so much Leadership failure all around us. |
