The time has come to get rid of the Unrepresentative Swill

It is a misuse of voters’ money and a denial of democracy.

Why does Tasmania need 12 Senators to represent less than half a million people (when they don’t represent them anyway – they represent their Party).

We do not need an Upper House to provide a check and balance on the Lower House.

The voters are the ultimate deciders.

We have the power to vote out a bad government.

In addition, the media is now the most powerful opposition in the land, potentially more powerful than any Upper House.

Why elect a government and then do everything possible to stop them from governing.

It is as ridiculous as it would be if the shareholders of BHP elected two Boards of Directors and gave the second Board power to stop the first Board from doing anything.

We need a referendum as soon as possible to remove the Senate from the Constitution — but it will need a powerful and influential grass roots movement to demand that referendum, and a courageous government to initiate it.

Send me an email to let me know if you are willing to be part of that movement.

I reckon that there are a few high profile Australians who would be willing to lead the charge.

Just remember that the negative irresponsibility of the “unrepresentative swill” does more to kill the future for Australia than the economic fallout from a carbon tax is ever likely to do.
