How Labor destroyed Australia
Aug 11th, 2019 at 7:47pm
 
What is The Lima Declaration?  And why has Australia has lost 98% of it’s manufacturing?

Although signed in 1975 by Labor Senator Don Willesee
, the Lima Declaration has had far reaching effects, and can clearly be seen as the blueprint for the disastrous policies embracing the bizarre philosophy known as “Globalisation”.

The Second General Conference of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) met in Lima, Peru, during the period 12-26 March, 1975.  The resulting declaration had disastrous ramifications for Australian industry. The basic reasoning behind the Declaration was that the drastic plight of the Third World was the result of the rapacious policies of the advanced industrial nations. Australia listed as one of these. The only way to rectify the situation was to transfer industrial resources from advanced countries like Australia to the Third World, then to provide markets for Third World exports by buying products once produced locally.

Both major parties are equally to blame for betraying the nation. The Fraser Government took over where Whitlam left off, Hawke and Keating increased the tempo of the programme with Mr Hawke, Keating, Button and other senior ministers telling unsuspecting Australians they were working to 'internationalise' the Australian economy.  The truth is, they were sowing the seeds that has almost decimated Australian manufacturing and industry and has seen Australian jobs disappear overseas.

More than half of Australia’s manufacturing capacity has been destroyed since 1974 and the economic carnage continues while Australia imports vast quantities of goods once produced locally.  While we're ploughing oranges into the ground, we're buying concentrate back from Brazil.  Our car industry has all but disappeared, steel making is on it's knees and our petroleum industry is under severe threat of being moved overseas.  If a situation arises where there is a serious threat in the region, we will be unable to defend ourselves.  The Declaration will leave Austraia short of technology, tools and jobs and we can thank scores of useless and short sighted politicians for that - on all sides of Parliament.

In 1970 estimates numbered Australian farmers at around 300,000, the number is now below125,000.

A call for change was made in March 1975 when the Second General Conference of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), meeting in Lima, issued a Declaration and World Plan of Action.

The Lima Declaration and Plan of Action called for the redistribution of world industry so that developing countries would have 25% of it by the year 2000.  Now in Australia we have lost more then 98% of our Industries to third world countries - along with our jobs . To achieve this, radical changes in traditional concepts and practices are recommended. Economic growth in poorer countries could no longer be seen as the “trickle down” benefit of growth in rich countries. To close the gap between rich and poor nations the developing countries would have to grow faster than the developed countries. With this end in mind, the Lima Declaration sets out the “main principles of industrialisation” and defines the “means by which the international community as a whole might take broad action to establish a New International Economic Order”.

Wonder why we're importing so much fish and seafood from countries like Thailand and Vietnam - when we are surrounded by vast oceans?  Look no further than Resolution 27 "Developed Countries such as Australia should expand it’s imports from developing countries."
Are you puzzled why so much industry and jobs have moved overseas?  Maybe look at Resolution 35 "Developed Countries (Australia) should transfer technical, financial, and capital goods to developing countries to accomplish resolution 28 above."

(35) “That special attention should be given to the least developed countries, which should enjoy a net transfer of resources from the developed countries in the form of technical and financial resources as well as capital goods, to enable the least developed countries in conformity with the policies and plans for development, to accelerate their industrialisation.”

(41) “That the developed countries should adhere strictly to the principle that the Generalised System of Preferences must not be used as an instrument for economic and political pressure to hamper the activities of those developing countries which produce raw materials”

(43) “That the developing countries should fully and effectively participate in the international decision making process on international monetary questions in accordance with the existing and evolving rules of the competent bodies and share equitably in the benefits resulting therefrom”

(52) “That the developing countries should devote particular attention to the development of basic industries such as steel, chemicals, petro chemicals and engineering, thereby consolidating their economic independence while at the same time assuring an effective form of import substitution and a greater share of world trade”.

Now now Lefties it is all in the past.

But the Greeny controlled Labor Party was taking this Lima rubbish to the election just recently.

Haven't they learnt anything ?


It was the disastrous Whitlam the 2nd worst "PM" ever after Gillard who started this destruction of Australia and fortunately he was kicked out by the GG before he could do any more damage.

Mr Anning exposes the evil acts of Whitlam the 2nd worst "PM" after Gillard as he kowtowed to the United Nations to send Australia down the drain.



Senator Anning on the TPP and the Lima Declaration
October 22, 2018

...

[Chamber Senate on 15/10/2018 Item BILLS – Customs Amendment (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation) Bill 2018, Customs Tariff Amendment (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation)  – Second Reading Speaker: Anning, Sen Fraser Transcript and Image from Parliament of Australia Website 2018]

Senator Fraser ANNING (Queensland): I rise today to oppose and condemn the Customs Amendment (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation) Bill 2018 and related bills, that enable what is commonly called the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

This agreement is bad for Aussie business and bad for Aussie workers and families. Because of this, I foreshadow that I will be moving a second reading amendment to the bill.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement might be great for Vietnam, the Philippines and other low-wage Third World economies, but it is very bad for Australia. This agreement is but the latest in a long line of deals with foreign countries that give away Aussie jobs and industry to supposedly disadvantaged foreign nations, beginning with Whitlam, who put a wrecking ball through Australian industry with his unilateral tariff cuts.

Subsequent Liberal and Labor governments have all been infatuated with the internationalist vision of trade.
In 1975, the Whitlam government signed the United Nations Lima Declaration, through which the Australian government sold out Australian industries and workers by specifically agreeing to transfer manufacturing to Third World countries, supposedly to help them develop.


Almost every move to liberalise trade since that day has led to a net transfer of jobs and industry away from
Australia and the current TPP is just the latest outrageous example. Giant transnational corporations love the Lima agreement, of course, since taking jobs away from decently-paid Aussie workers and instead employing Third World semi-slaves made them a fortune. Perhaps that is the reason why both Labor and the Liberals agree on these kinds of trade deals.

The Left think that our national prosperity is something to apologise for and that we have an unending obligation to subsidise foreigners. In practice, if not intent, the capitalist globalists agree with them. Transnational corporations don’t care about the best interests of Australians, only their own profits, and profits are larger if you employ Third Worlders on slave wages than if you employ Aussies on decent award wages.

Like all post-Lima declaration trade deals, the TPP will allow foreign multinationals the right to dictate terms to our government regarding rules and regulations. The TPP will see Australia’s sovereignty further eroded. This agreement will allow cheap foreign goods from countries with historically bad safety regulations to flood the Australian market. The TPP will see food from countries with almost non-existent workplace health and safety standards enter Australia—just like the Asian white spot disease, which was introduced and devastated our prawn sector.

The TPP will see hardworking Australians fighting against workers whose wages would be considered slavery in Australia. Their wages are so low that they struggle to afford food, shelter or clothing. To protect our sovereignty, food security, wages and work, the TPP agreement must be rejected.

Australia was once a nation of doers, hard workers and builders. We tamed the harsh, dry land of the outback. We built massive infrastructure projects, like the Snowy scheme. Australia was the land of the worker and the farmer. Now, ever since the Whitlam era, we have seen a Liberal-Labor consensus in favour of globalism, foreign ownership, exporting jobs and importing cheap foreign labour.

This has resulted in Australia becoming the land of unemployed university graduates and foreign workers. Our major parties have allowed Australia to become a nation without work, with our remaining major industries, mining and hospitality, digging things up and selling them to foreigners, and serving dinner and drinks to our foreign overlords. Our once prosperous economy has been raided and pillaged by multinational corporations. That is exactly what Australia has seen with these global trade agreements.

We have seen the demand for labour drop as factories move overseas, while the major parties allow foreign workers to flood the country. This has caused the devastating problems of wage stagnation and the casualisation of our workforce. Without a proper wage and stable, full-time work, how can Australians provide for their families? Before Whitlam, 70 per cent of the Australian workforce were employed in decent, well-paid jobs in manufacturing. Now there are barely any.

Yes, in Fraser Anning's wildest dreams.  The reason why large cooperation started, and came to Australia post WW2, was because, we blew up our competitors - German, Japan, Korea, to pieces.  And they were not able to compete for a long time.

And when the third world countries started to develop.  The large companies simply moved over seas, not because of some divine willingness to help the 'poor', rather, to exploit the lower wage conditions in order to maximize their profit.   And it is still happening. 

While, the other countries saw that, and have evolved into competitive high tech - e.g. German, Japan and Korea, Australia choose to export raw materials to make up the difference.  Thus for us to become a banana republic.  In this regard, both the liberal and the labor party are at fault.

Yeee-ussshh - and then there was the reality that Germany, Japan etc rapidly overtook the former Allied nations in industrial capacity for the simple reason that the Allies gave them massive aid and assistance to rebuild new industries using the most up to date technologies, while the Allies struggled on with their now outmoded equipment.  Thus Japan and Germany rapidly developed an ascendancy in industrial capacity, and the former Allies started to feel the pinch.

Then there was China, and the 'four Asian Little Tigers'... all with the latest and newest technology in play - how could poor old BHP Newcastle possibly keep up?

So the former Allies developed their personal 'economic miracle of 're-developing' into 'service industry' nations.... and you see the result... poverty on all sides and a few riding high on riches, collapse of industrial relations (why have it when there is no industry?)... and a total collapse into neo-feudalism, accompanied by every evil that a corrupt government structure can heap upon its people... including mass immigration of grasping peasantry, many troublemakers, politics of division and of exclusion of the majority... you name it... the list is near endless.....

Qui Bono?

There is a contradiction here....The Coalition keep telling us the economy is in fantastic shape and they are the best to manage this robust economic gravy train....Now we have Coalition supporters telling us Australia is stuffed and there is nothing the Coalition who have been in power for the majority of time can do about it....Looks like someone is lying???

Labor wouldn't have signed the Lima agreement without bi-partisan support. Both major parties must share the blame. Fraser and Howard did nothing to reverse the Agreement, in fact they encouraged it and told us to find other jobs, become multi skilled after losing jobs in manufacturing and allied industries. It was all pre-planned in the 60's and thousands of young tradesmen were conscripted into the military as a step towards de-industrialising Australia. Fraser(minister for the Army) did nothing to rehabilitate discharged conscripts back into the workforce, we were left lingering in a recession with jobs getting scarcer, including the jobs we had before we were conscripted.

Of course things just kept getting worse, with long lines for each job that became available, and qualified skills began to disappear through accepting whatever job one could get to keep earning a quid.

That long ago trend continues today, but you can mix in disorganized mass immigration, scams, murders, domestic violence, declining full employment prospects, shoddy civil engineering, excessive spending on safety net benefits, too little spending on productive infrastructure, high levels of habitual debt, crazy motorists crashing into buildings every other day, increasing number of hit & runs, potential Islamic terrorists being watched on a daily basis, cops getting kicked and bashed, home invasions, backpacker murders, our photos in a central data base, spending more than 10k cash without a bank being able to report it is a crime next year, our freedoms diminishing, we've got to watch what we say, rural communities struggling

It's not too late to reverse the Lima Agreement, and we probably will given the chaos it's created for Australia

Of course the Libs support it. Which party has signed FTAs with a dozen countries that allow them to send workers here without any labour market testing? The Libs. How many of those countries have given reciprocal arrangements for Australian workers in those FTAs? None.

Globalisation and free trade policies of the oligarchy.

BTW the oligarchy don't want the third world to come up to first world standards.

The oligarchy are to busy raping and plundering the resources of the third world why would they want people in the first world knowing their business.

Like for example child labour.

If we didn't call it out it would still be happening.

Correction still is happening, just don't hear about it that much these days.

Loosing our manufacturing industry has crippled Australia, we're all destined to become baristas no not barristers.

Oh yeah labor or liberal their all CEO's to the oligarchy just following orders.
