We don’t live in a democracy we live in a capitalist society. The greatest threat to our so-called democracy is our political system. The rise of the right, the war on woke, divide in communities along religious, racial, economic grounds, the preparation for war, the power of the billionaires, the loss of truth are all signs of a failed system.

These issues are not isolated to the US, but remember where you saw it first and the constant bombardment of US politics in all media is not news, it’s come join us.

It will not be until we have real truth, laws that apply politically to all aspects of our lives and truth, laws with teeth that are supported by a proper lawyer-proof regulatory framework that applies to every one that democracy will be in place.

When we have Parliamentary privilege with truth penalties, a speaker with real punch, truth in media laws, open-ended funding to the ICAC, open-ended funding to government auditors and ACC, equal funding to the poorest and the richest in the court system, and we abolish commercial-in-confidence for taxpayer spends then we will live in a truly equal democracy. .
