Well that didn’t take long.
Less than a week after I wrote “Abbott’s ‘Open For Business’ Means ‘The Path To Serfdom'”, and we learn that the new government is indeed looking to follow in the footsteps of every other Australian government in modern history.
From the Australian:
National icon sales may help fix budget
ICONIC public assets could be put up for sale as the Abbott government searches for ways to pay down debt, after warning of a “deteriorating” budget that will force it to raise its $300 billion borrowing limit.
Australia Post and the nation’s air traffic control agency Airservices Australia will join Medibank Private as candidates for sale in a looming commission of audit that will be asked to examine whether major assets need to stay in public hands.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
The only way to end the practice of politicians alternately running up debts, then selling off everything of value that our nation owns to foreign buyers (thus, controllers), is for the public to insist on government taking control of the nation’s money supply away from bankers.
Abolish the RBA.
Barnaby Is Right 
The banksters strike again. Seriously.
It is GOVERNMENTS which spend what they cannot afford. Seriously. Do you think that things would be better if there were no interest payable on government borrowed money? All that would happen is that much more would be borrowed and repayment of the DEBT would be just as bad.
Don’t shoot the messanger. Blame the perpetrator: badly run governments run by monkeys in suits to satisfy morons who keep demanding more without the common sense to see that there will be the Piper to pay.
And once again Mick, you demonstrate your profound ignorance of the subject.
Remember how, some months ago, you nearly got yourself banned for your abusive rants about my (and others) views on money, debt, usury, and banking? Remember how you insisted that I was wrong about all this, even though you also admitted to not actually reading the posts, because they were “too long”?
Remember how you publicly stated that you would properly analyse and debunk my proposed alternate currency idea … that is, after you actually read it?
Not a peep from you since on that.
Still waiting ……..
You miss the point completely. A responsible government, could own and tightly control the money supply. It wouldn’t need to borrow money because it could print and create its own money to fund infrastructure etc without interest. It is dumb economcs that we allow a private central bank to loan the government money back at interest, where tax payers are burdened by debt that wouldnt otherwise exist, if the government had control of the issue of currency and credit. We allow a group of Northern Hemsphere Central Bankers to basically counter fit money – fiat currency under the disguise of The Central Bank of Australia, and then loan that counter fitted money back to our government at interest. Its the biggest scam in history that we allow a private group of bankers free reign on the printing and ownership of our money and credit. All Western countries need to stand up and kick theses private bankng cartel bastards out of owning the issue of credit and the printing of money once and for all. All Western democracies will regain their sovereignty and be more prosperous and their people will have more personal wealth, if this corrupt criminal system was dismantled, never ever to return again.
It’s the only way the institution of capitalism can survive. Note how the IPCC report now tells us that the markets are the only thing that can save us from ‘global warming’. The global financial system is one big Ponzi scheme, and it’s unraveling.
Correct. Heart of the matter. You’re on to ’em!
Mick, wake up mate get on the net and educate yourself.
One of the stinking Rothschild’s once said, and it was a long time ago “give me control of the issue of money and I care not who sits on the throne”
Thomas Jefferson said basically ” if the people ever allow private banks to issue the money the banks and the corporations that grow up around them will eventually own everything”
The coinage of money REAL MONEY, gold and silver was coined and issued by the Government and Americans paid no personal income tax for 100 years.
The Federal reserve “bank” is a privately owned evil monstrosity that is the reason for most of the worlds problems, countless millions have died because of the evil of usury.
Ok, so here we go again. We borrow from one of the Rothschild’s numerous “banks”, pay interest to them for that “loan” only to then give the Rothschild’s back the money we borrowed via the “Reserve Bank of Australia” which is another one of their “Banks”. Next we will start selling our assets to pay off our “debts” to the Rothschild’s which have already been paid back. And who will buy those assets? One guess! This has been going on now for a couple of hundred years. Britain, USA, Australia etc continue to be in bondage to one very powerful family. Shame on you Mr Abbott.
