Australia the Rip Off Nation
Apr 19th, 2018 at 9:55pm
 
Via the Media...

We know that the USA is so 'sex-obsessed'.
(well, maybe the Media population there is?)

Here in Australia - is all about 'Money' obsession.
Even the PM is more interested in Economics than Politics.
Australia is not 'over-populated', no.
It's very 'over-Indulgent'.
Besides knocking over 80% of its trees since 1788.
It has become a nation of extreme costs.
For a while, even Sydney and Perth were the most 'expensive' cities in the world to live in.
What was worse, was that they were just not 'worth' the price.

NOW. It's 'recycling'!
Apparently recycling is too expensive to do and people won't pay the inflated costs.

Well, I've worked both Visy & Remondis and recycled material make a fortune.
So the 20% profit is down to 18%. Boohoo!
Like a Farmer who cries drought a week after it's rained good.
Like a Petrol Company that jacks up it's price again because some Arab farted in Saudi Arabia.

Take into account that if the cost to dump a bed Mattress in Sydney is $80 at the tip.
But just 3 hours south of Sydney, you can do the same for just $30  Huh

Remember the Bus Strike for increased wages?
Well 3 months later the 'fare' went up 20c
...yep, the Commuter paid for the wage rise, not the Company.

So here we have another 'racket' again, this time with Recycle.
Any excuse as always to cry poor 'convict' and jack the price up to one of the most expensive in the world.
Every Company does it, every Business does it.
From Banks, to boutique Café Latte towns.

In Australia, the customer is not right.
The Worker is.
And you gotta be in it to win it (as the worker).
As for the Customer: Don't spend. Don't 'tap n go'. Careful of what you have to buy and no you don't need what the Media tell you to have.

Living like an Amish in Australia would be a rewarding 'saver' experience indeed.

Ahhhhh

The Australian grubberment

Kleptocrats, the largest criminal organisation in the world.

But remember.
They need to steal as much as possible to feed the machine.

Australia has more politicians per capita than nay country in the world today.
It has the highest paid politicians and public servants than any other country
It has the most generious pensions to ex politicians and public servants than any other country.

But we have the lowest pensions for the working stiff than most civilized countries
We have the highest education fees
We have he highest retirement age than most civilized countries.

Yep The Australian Grubberment.......

Australia needs another eureka stockade.
Remove these grubs and all their entitlements.
Abolish all councils. They themselves are a ceiminal enterprise.

Australia needs a revolution.

By George - the people are catching up with reality.... wonder if the powers-that-be are aware how close they are to the abyss here?

Yet if a true party of the people arose, most of the same people here would listen to and swallow whole every lie put about to discredit those who stand for it.  We live in a nation which sets about deliberately discrediting people in advance with lies and set-ups and cheating law officers..... so that they have no power and must perforce cower down and take it up the rear. Anyone who is smart or radical will get that treatment...

Keep working people....... you'll get there.....

Note:-  Just went down to the mechanic's to finish rego check on car - Scottish couple came in for rego check, and the old husband said he'd be glad to leave Australia because everyone wants to rip you off here. Telling....

Maybe a bastille day haha joke joke im not a terrorist

As for councils that amalgamation they did in QLD was so obviously a scam. Dont know if they did it elsewhere but ppl in small towns with no sewerage are now paying city rates (and still dont have sewerage). Big money grab is all that was.

Yup - bigger area etc - bigger salary for the Mayor etc - it used to be a token salary for offering genuine public service - now it's as fat as any politician's salary... just another business opportunity.

Business has too much power and influence....The plebs are only considered come election time when Politicians promise to fix the mess left by the previous incompetents....Then when they get into power they come up with all sorts of emergencies to renege on their commitments....Vote Independent and make the politicians accountable to you not big business or the party machine!!!

Huh Huh Huh

I doubt they are even considered then. That last election had nothing for the plebs.

Yes to all of the above.

It's become so extreme that the Royal Commission has held at least two Banks accountable for such 'rip off' tactics.
But in truth, not only do the other banks do it (now scrambling to save their arses).
But nearly 'every' Business in Australia does it.
I also worked construction in Sydney and it was an accepted 'game' of business to be blatantly obvious in ones efforts to 'rip off' anyone and everyone. Hence why half the money in Sydney construction is not there.

It's con/scam tactics to the extreme.

Maybe the UK set up a decent 'colony' here for Australians.
All was perfect and then along came the 'Media' and its 'Americanism' and now, many Australians try to live like America ...here. The result is 'over-achieving' and making a decent country more 'complicated' than it needs to be???
...maybe? Huh

If this is indeed the case. Then we need a Paul Atreides ...a Muad'Dib to rise up against the evil Harkonnen of the USA and their presence here. Gather the 'feral' Fremen and go for it!  Cheesy

You say a Eureka Stockade Capt Caveman.
But I wonder if the biggest 'rip off' is coming from the Unions too? Just going in their pockets to their own device?
Unionism/Eureka Flag waving. Sounds kinda 'Yankee' to me.

What to do? Undecided

Gulag all the power brokers - threaten to hang ten a week if they don't come up with some viable answers in seven days - then start the hangings, meanwhile torture the rest until they give up some meaningful responses....

I, more or less, agree with the concerns stated in the OP. No need to quote it again. But what I know, for a fact, is wrong with it, is the notion that these concerns are uniquely "Australian."
