Government and capitalism are two sides of the same coin. Nobody is arguing that modern-day governments don’t need capitalism. A government can’t function without the precious tax revenue that capitalism affords. On the hand, I would argue that capitalism needs government. Capitalism without government, i.e. the free market, is like an out-of-control steam train hurtling down the line. The goal is to reach its destination as fast as possible. Without regulation, the train will eventually come to a curve in the track and derail, killing and maiming many of its occupants. The government are the engineers, the train operators, the railway signals. They are vital in keeping the train and its passengers safe. Capitalists would argue that if only the government would stand aside and let the free market take the reins, everything would be okay. But clearly, that would end in disaster. Between 1936 and 1969, the Cuyahoga River in Northeast Ohio caught fire numerous times due to the large amount of pollution caused by industrial waste. The free market did nothing to clean it up. It required the government to intervene and impose a $1.5 billion cleanup fee. ... I’ve done a little bit of a case study over the last couple of years regarding a massive shopping centre redevelopment occurring right here in my little city of Toowoomba. This shopping centre could be described as a microcosm of the free market in action. The redevelopment doubled the size of the shopping centre to approximately 90,000m². For Toowoomba, that’s huge! They had to knock down an old shopping centre in the process, one that was still in pretty good condition. But that’s not how capitalism works, right? Out with the old, in with the new! ... But the centre has had a devastating effect on the city centre. If you walk down the CBD, you’ll see what I mean. Large amounts of shops lay empty. “For Lease” signs are posted everywhere. Within the new part of the shopping centre, there’s a central avenue which contains mainly high-end fashion shops. They’re selling goods that the average person can’t afford. Their workers just stand around, hoping for the next customer. Are these shops successful? No. Are their stores empty? Yes. Are those workers contributing greatly to society? No. They're just there for the paycheck. ... Eventually, all of these shop owners will either end up in massive debt, or bankrupt. They’ve probably signed five-year leases, so are legally powerless to do anything except try to make ends meet. The "free market" has failed them. Debt has fuelled this crisis. Banks are giving out loans to anyone with a business plan. My wife used to work in the centre for an Asian restaurant. They were consistently underpaying her, so I kicked up a stink.

Australia’s welfare system has been described as “punitive”, “cruel”, and “damaging”. Unfortunately over the last six months, there have been an unprecedented number of Australians needing welfare assistance from the Government thanks to the lock downs and so on. To rub salt in the wound, the Minister for Families and Social Services Anne Ruston revealed last week in a Senate Estimates hearing that the Government does not use a definition of poverty. She said, “The Government doesn't have a measure of poverty, which has been the practice of successive governments, because our payments system is very comprehensive and specifically targeted towards providing the policy outcomes that are defined by the particular support measures blah blah blah”. Basically that’s code for, “If the Australian Government don’t measure poverty, then perhaps it doesn’t exist?”, or more strongly, “Australia doesn’t have a poverty problem because the Australian Government say so”. Of course, critics have jumped on this and said that “Australia's welfare strategy has become more about deterring recipients and feeding bureaucracy than providing support”. In this video, I walk through an example letter that shows just how complicated the Australia welfare system can be for recipients. The ostensible goal of this is to make things EASIER for recipients. What I’ve learnt from reading this letter is that the Australian welfare system, is bulls**t!

Over the last five or six months, our fence has been falling down. Despite repeated complaints to the property manager, nothing has been down about it. The owner simply does not want to fix it. Our backyard is now open to the street. Just the other day, a large dog wandered on in while my kids were playing out the back. Luckily they ran inside and nothing bad happened, but this isn’t the first time that it’s happened. Basically, my kids can’t play out the backyard unless an adult is out there actively patrolling the perimeter. But despite this, they decided to jack up the rent last month. Out of respect to myself, I refused to pay. I said I’m not signing the new lease if the owners are refusing to fix anything. The property manager just told us that if we don’t sign, they’ll basically kick us out. She said, “We can easily find somebody else in this market”. And that’s the state of being a renter in Australia at the moment. No power. We’re at the whim of greedy owners. So why can this happen? Well, as many of you would know, house prices are rather crazy here in Australia at the moment. Australian house prices are rocketing up, at least, according to the pundits: “Australian house prices to rise by 15 per cent this year but slow in 2022”; “House prices reach yet another record level due to ‘perfect storm’ of low interest rates, improving economy”; “Australia’s housing boom rolls on with national home values lifting another 2.2% in May”. Many people have told me that it’s a horrible time to buy, but yet, everyone’s buying. Why? Well, it probably has something to do with record-low interest rates. As rates go down, what goes up? House prices and debt! As it becomes cheaper to borrow, people borrow more, and inevitably house prices go up. Yes, Australians are in a record amount of debt just so they can say that they are living the Australia dream – “A belief that in Australia, home ownership can lead to a better life and is an expression of success and security”. From my experiences in the last six months, it’s become more of an Australian Nightmare.

Divided we fall. Some people may mistakenly believe that the government are here to help us. But that’s not their purpose at all. Their only purpose is maintain their power. They may dress in fancy suits. They may wear modern-looking spectacles, but the tactics they use are thousands of years old. “Divide et impera” – Divide and conquer! It’s a very simple, but effective strategy that has been used, and is in use by governments across the globe. The powers that be foment discord among the people to prevent a rebellion against the elites. That is, when the people are fighting each other, they don’t have the ability to fight the government. In this video, I will discuss three ways that the Australian Government are keeping us divided, and what we can do to counter it. 1. The Voice. The government are telling Australians that the only way to solve racial inequality in Australia is by us setting up a special Indigenous Voice to Parliament where membership is based entirely on one’s ethnicity (or ancestry, or racial background). “This will unite us!”, they tell us with a straight face. It’s absurd. “We’ll unite you by dividing you”. Of course, their goal is not to unite us. Their goal is to divide – “divide et impera”. 2. Racial Questioning. People claim that there is institutional or systemic racism here in Australia, and I agree, there is, but it’s not what they say it is. They claim that there is some kind of deep-seated racism embedded in our institutions. It’s hard to see, but very real. I call BS on that. The systemic racism I see is very apparent. It’s obvious. And not only that, it’s endorsed by the government. The most familiar form to most of you, if you’re Australian, would be this question: “Do you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander?”. Of course, the government will claim this is not racist at all. They’ll claim they’re trying to help people. Again, they’re saying the opposite of their true intentions. The only way to solve racial inequality in Australia, is by categorising you by your race! It’s absurd. 3. Racial Job Ads. Again, the government, or the universities will claim that these ads aren’t racist, and that they’re just trying to help people. Here’s an actual ad from Seek, “Field Officer, Enhanced Bushfire Management Program” by the NSW Department of Planning. Further down they state, “This is an Aboriginal Identified role where Aboriginal identity, cultural knowledge or connections are a genuine aspect of the role. Positions are specifically noted under the provisions of the NSW Anti-discrimination Act”. See how they use the language? Anti-discrimination, not discrimination. Is this what Aboriginal people want? Jobs allotted to them because of their ethnicity? Personally, if I was Indigenous, I would never apply to these jobs. How can one’s ethnicity define your skills? Your skills depend on where you’ve grown up, or where you’ve studied, not your DNA. This is just another way for the government to keep us divided. So in summary: How the Australian Government Divide Us. 1. They try to further divide us by voting on controversial constitutional amendments (e.g. The Voice). But it’s easy to counter, just vote No. 2. They try to keep us divided by questioning your ethnicity/ancestry/racial background on official forms. Again, this is easy to counter. Just refuse to answer. And 3. They claim that certain jobs can only be done by people of a certain ethnicity. That somehow your DNA affects the skills you can and can’t do. Either A. Don’t apply for these jobs, or B. Never reveal your ethnicity and call them out on their discriminatory BS. In conclusion, the government seek to divide you. Don’t let them do it!
