kevsnews@dodo.com.auHEAR IT & BELIEVE IT!!
They say the Money men’s Engineered Recession is over? What a joke!! It’s just the round 2 Bell!! They’re setting us up to do it all over again!!
AS INTEREST RATES RISE & OUR TRADE DEFICIT BALLOONS AGAIN AS OF OCTOBER 06, 2009, TO AN ABS ESTIMATED $1.7BN! PLUS A NATIONAL GDP FIGURE OF MINUS - 0.0! ALL WHICH MEANS OUR NATION IS BANKRUPT! HOW CAN WE BELIEVE RUDD’S CLAIMS THAT FOR US THE RECESSION IS OVER??
So if Australians really do believe Aust. is out of recession & the economy is on the way up & the foreign controlled RBA is justified in raising interest rates then they also believe in the tooth fairy!! They should ask the second wave of many 100’s thousands of Aussie battlers about to again lose their jobs, homes & worldly possessions as the banks get ready to do it to them all over again, if they think it’s over? When will the Australian people wake up? How much more subterfuge will it take? Years ago a wise man once said "Quote:
"The men that everyone admires most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.
- - H. L. Mencken (1880)"The truth is, between July & Sept. 09, 40,000 of us lost our jobs!! This fact alone is not acceptable to One Nation under any circumstances! In Oct. another 4000 went! One Nation believes that when so many jobs for whatever reason are lost it is an inexcusable situation!! But suddenly if one believes the Govt. there is a 6% rise where miraculously from amid the world’s worst (
their words) recession 40,600 jobs were created? Is it magic?? One Nation again disputes this, for they say un-employment is down to 5.7%!! But Treas. Sec Henry says’’ quote: a further 100,000 jobs could be lost if the government's planned stimulus spending is scrapped." Unquote. As Rudd’s cash stimulus is no bottomless pit we must fear the worst!So as below it all just doesn’t compute? The following though One Nation does believe as true & as the banks continue to raise the illegal variable interest rates (
see Aust. Constitution on variable rates for verification) the whole cycle of loss & foreclosures will be repeated all over again!!The Govt. then tries to have us believe that Full-time employment rose by 35,400 in that same month and that part-time employment only rose by 5,200!! Now as we in One Nation know that while our current minus -0.0 % plus & receding GDP only goes to reflect on their own ABS trade deficit blowout of which clearly shows that we have NO manufacturing industries left, where to employ full time workers to produce trade to export! For how else can we possibly repay our massive $3 ½ Trillion foreign debt as well?
(Foreign &Household debt combined all owed to foreign banks)We in One Nation also know that there are certainly more part time & casual jobs than there are REAL full time career 6 or 7 day week jobs! Not like their fake interpretation of full time permanent casual jobs!! These are mainly in the retail, services, hospitality& tourist sectors, where most may have just one or two days per week on a permanent basis or even less just like my own two Granddaughters one who works at Woolworths as a permanent casual!
So just where did their imaginary full time jobs go to? Though I valiantly tried to unearth the details or just where all of these so-called full time jobs were? Surprise, surprise!! Also un-believably if you become a full time un-paid volunteer you will be classed as employed & taken off the unemployed list!! Yes!! Even if you’re not being paid!!
Some of my friends I know are full time volunteer workers with charities! Rudd says, though not paid, they’re employed! Why? Because the Govt. uses these to fudge their phony figures!! Then if you were actively looking for work in that month you are also off the list!! One Nation will never accept their smoke & mirrors facts & figures designed to lull the people into a false slumber that there is hope & our economy is in fine shape

THE Rudd Government is being warned the nation will lose more jobs than it will gain if Australia signs a free trade agreement with China. Officials were in Beijing earlier this month to lay the groundwork for the 14th round of negotiations, which are yet to be scheduled. Negotiations have been at an impasse since December last year despite strong support from Canberra and Beijing. Unions are urging the Government to consider the cost of a deal, such as the dumping of goods into Australia and the lower labour and environmental standards.
A report commissioned by the Victorian branch of the Electrical Trades Union warns a China FTA could create 12,000 jobs for Australia but take away another 170,000 in the manufacturing industry. "The view that Australia could lose manufacturing jobs to overseas companies whilst increasing other exports in relation to services, innovation, research and development has proved to be at best optimistic," it said. Citing completed FTAs with Thailand, Singapore and the United States, the report said imports have increased faster from these countries than exports to them since the deals were signed. Independent MPs Tony Windsor, Bob Katter and Rob Oakeshott are calling on the Government to allow the parliament to have a bigger role in discussion about free trade deals. The Australia, New Zealand, ASEAN FTA - the biggest involving Australia to date - was passed by the House of Representatives today after just a couple of days debate. Dean Mighell, secretary of the ETU in Victoria, said free trade deals were a critical social issue for Australia. "People in the factories, people on the farms, small business people should have real and serious concerns about the implications of free trade agreements," he said. "The ETU commissioned this report because we think that if we entered into a free trade agreement with China it is the death knell for our manufacturing industries and many of our food-producing industries." forwarded by Bob Vinnicombe
IF EVER THERE WAS A SINGLE DOUBT THAT OUR MANUFACTURING & RURAL INDUSTRIES ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY DESTROYED WHERE TO TURN OUR HOME INTO NOTHING BUT A GIANT QUARRY TO THE WORLD! THEN THE ABOVE SENT IN BY BOB VINNICOMBE SURELY NOW BELAYS ALL DOUBTS!
THE WORRYING TREND OF OUR GOVT’S CRIMINAL SUPPORT FOR CHINESE INDUSTRY & AGRICULTURE TO THE DEMISE OF OUR OWN CONTINUES! However the claim in the article above that this free trade agreement will send jobs overseas is a bit late?? There are very few manufacturing jobs left to send overseas!! With a minus GDP in manufacturing the horse has well & truly bolted!! What small numbers of these that are left will only be the final nail in the coffin! Only One Nation will abolish free trade & GATS along with insidious treaties like the now infamous Lima agreement! A supporter told me the other day that he once asked Mark Vaile what he intended to do about the Lima agreement? Vaile replied ignorantly "What’s that??" It’s because of people like Vaile all our Industries have gone & situations as that so called Australian Comp. like the SA Tuna Cannery, allowed to stop supplying Australia with Tuna & other fish because it can get $1000 a kilo for it Japan! Only One Nation will stop this with laws making them first supply our own needs before other countries like China! Now NO TUNA ENTERS AUSTRALIA FROM ANYWHERE BUT ASIA!! A recent 60 mins report warned us that it is not safe to eat because of low quality health controls!REMEMBER THIS ONE IN 2007?
AS OUR HOSPITALS GO INTO THEIR LAST DEATH THROWS! WHO THEN REMEMBERS THE THEN OPPOSITION LEADER RUDD & THESE HIS BELLOWINGS OF HOT ELECTION AIR!! RUDD ANNOUNCES HOSPITAL TAKEOVER PLAN. Posted Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:08am AEST Updated Thu Aug 23, 2007 2:24pm AESTHe says the reform plan would be aimed at eliminating duplication and overlap, and stop buck-passing between the states and Commonwealth. "The Commonwealth blaming the states and vice versa doesn't help the problem when you're sick," he told a news conference. "It's time to end the blame game between Canberra and the states on health and hospitals." Mr Rudd says he will call a referendum for the Commonwealth to take over the running of hospitals if necessary, but he hopes that such action can be avoided. "We believe we could do that cooperatively and we believe therefore it would not be necessary to go to the third stage," he said. "But what I'm signalling very clearly is if we weren't able to yield that sort of outcome co-operative with the states, then I believe the mood of the nation is that we need to ask the Australian people for a mandate to take Commonwealth responsibility for full funding for public hospitals." Queensland Premier Peter Beattie praised Mr Rudd's plan in State Parliament. "It's the sort of thing that the Queensland Government has been demanding for years," he said. "I'm right behind Kevin Rudd and so will Australians when they see his health plan."This is the first time we have had a leader in this nation that's had the courage to bring about reform in health." AAP
WHAT A DIFFERENCE AN ELECTION WIN & TWO YEARS MAKES!! RUDD’S HUFFING & PUFFING THREATS TO BLOW DOWN THE STATE RUN MADE OF STRAW HOSPITALS? IS ABOUT TO FALL IN A HEAP WITHOUT A SINGLE BREATH OF HIS PROMISED TAKEOVER IF NOT FIXED! INSTEAD WE NOW HAVE ALL THE FOLLOWING SIDESTEPPING AROUND ANYTHING BUT HIS PROMISE TO FIX IT!
Hospitals are sick: Rudd October 14, 2009 - 4:40PM Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says he agrees with a "universally bleak" report into Australia's public hospital system. The Australian Medical Association on Wednesday released its report card, saying many hospitals failed to reach performance benchmarks. "I basically agree with them," Mr Rudd told reporters in Murray Bridge, east of Adelaide. "There is a real problem out there.
"And therefore, the Australian government, rather than simply pushing this problem under the carpet, believe it's time we have a fully fledged national debate about how we fix this system for the long term. "It is root and branch reform that is necessary." Mr Rudd was in Murray Bridge for a health forum as part of the government's consultation over proposed health reforms. The prime minister said his government would hold state and territories to account over their public hospital systems, and the data used to measure their performance benchmarks. "We intend to hold the states and territories accountable against that data, that is why we are in the reform business," he said. "This is tough - and remember we are also dealing with a history of the previous Australian government pulling $1 billion out of the Australian public hospitals system, we are reinvesting back in.
"We will take a very dim view indeed of any attempt by any state government, whatever their political persuasion, of somehow being cute with critical data on emergency surgery, on elective surgery, or emergency department presentations. "We want real data; we want to know the absolute facts of what is happening out there. "We are in the long term reform business but to perform that, you need to have absolute confidence in the data that is why we agreed on those performance benchmarks. "We will take a very dim view indeed of any data that is cooked by anybody." AAP
ONE NATION (NSW DIVISION) MEDIA RELEASE
ONE NATION WILL CONTEST THE BRADFIELD BY-ELECTION
2. ONE NATION will oppose the re-introduction of anything resembling Work choices.
3. ONE NATION believes climate change hysteria is a scam designed to get money out of us and send us back to the dark ages. The world goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling and in the long term we are headed for another ice age, speaking of ice ages, if burning fossil fuels is what makes the world warmer - what made the last ice age end? Were the Neanderthals heavily into coal-fired power stations and gas-guzzling 4 wheel drives? The Emissions Trading Tax backed by Labor and flirted with by the Coalition will be the final nail in the coffin of Australian farmers and manufacturers and will push up prices. Clouds of smoke belching from chimneys shown in global warming documentaries have nothing to do with carbon dioxide as carbon dioxide is an invisible gas.
4. ONE NATION will cut immigration. We are short of water, the roads are clogged with traffic, the health system is overloaded, housing affordability is a fraction of what it was 25 years ago, there are tens of thousands of homeless, but they still want to bring in more migrants. If there is a shortage of skills, we can re-train the hundreds of thousands of unemployed Australians to have the skills we need. If immigration hadn't pushed up house prices more young couples could afford to start a family and reverse the population decline. If migrants create jobs why don't they send them to the countries with the highest unemployment?
5. ONE NATION is against the establishment of schools run by religious cults associated with terrorism.
6. ONE NATION will keep our flag and ONE NATION won't bring in a republic.
7. ONE NATION will bring back tariffs to protect our farmers, manufacturers and workers against cheap imports.
Voters of Bradfield should support their One Nation candidate in the coming by-election.

THE RECENT TAREE FARMER ETHANOL AWARENESS MEETING REPORT HELD 5 OCT. 09
Our Ethanol Awareness meeting in Taree Monday 5th Oct. with myself, Ray Scholes, David Stevens from "Ethanol Performance Aust." at Lynn Stanfield’s property was a huge success! Where much was achieved along with an action plan where Lynn is hoping to organise friends & acquaintances (Cane Farmers both) to attend a meeting to be planned in Sugar Cane country & perhaps Murwullimbah at a date to be arranged! Also plans are being set in motion by David from E.P.A to set up a demo car engine with one of David’s Companies, FFV Computer module enabling it to use all fuel blends including Eth10%, Eth85%, Eth100% & Premium ULP fuel! A pollution meter will be hopefully acquired & attached to the tail pipe where to gauge the full terrible amount of deadly emissions emitted by ULP fuel (not harmless C02) being added to the air we breathe as it burns, the very thing that kills 2000 OF EVERY YEAR & makes millions ill!Another test is hoped to be carried out that will show a 22% reduction with E10% than ULP fossil fuel, & an approx. 70% reduction in E85%, finally E100% of which will show an approx. 90% + reduction!! David Stevens will be a guest speaker along with myself where we will be seeking to form a steering Committee among wheat & cane farmers, as well as some local trades & business representatives! All with a view to setting up the first Australian Farmer & local owned business controlled Ethanol cooperative similar to the huge American Coalition for Ethanol farmer owned & operated Industry of which controls 50% of the U.S. Bio-fuel Industry!
One of the larger ACE Co-op member Companies "POET ENERGY" is not only the largest U.S. Ethanol producer, but has just become THE WORLDS LARGEST Producer & a leader in the Celluloses Ethanol production! I refuse & will not believe that our own farmers cannot follow their successes!! At this meeting we will be showing them not just how but why they must! Expressions of interest have been received already & when a date & venue is announced I will notify all by email! It is expected it will be around or just after the second week in November so those of you without email & who would like to attend can contact me on 0249846358 or 0403891792 Mob.

From Poop to Petrol: Sewers Produce Efficient Cellulosic Ethanol Feedstock
Qteros has developed what it believes is a better bug -a proprietary microbe technology for turning biomass into ethanol. By teaming up, the two figure to be able to market to "every municipality that has a waste water treatment plant," said Jeff Haustor, Qteros' co-founder and manager of the project. The plants can use their accumulated waste to produce fuel that could be used in city-owned vehicles. "It also helps answer the question of what municipalities can do with their sewage sludge," added Israel Biran, ACT's chief executive (We found one a while ago that was turning it into hydrogen for fuel-cell electric cars!) The companies say their process improved cellulosic ethanol plant efficiency by up to 20 percent because the reclaimed sludge is easier to convert than other, woody biomass feed stocks.

Subject: FW: Media Release - Climate Change Talks Fail - Senator Barnaby Joyce
Senator Barnaby Joyce Leader of the Nationals in the Senate Bangkok Climate Change Talks Fail – Precursor to failure in CopenhagenQueensland Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce believes the failure to arrive at a climate change consensus in Bangkok will be repeated at Copenhagen. After two weeks a gathering of 190 nations in Bangkok failed to arrive at any consensus over climate change. With less than 60 days until the Copenhagen meeting the Bangkok gathering was supposed to be an opportunity to lay the foundations for the Copenhagen summit to be held in December. Senator Joyce said the failure of the Bangkok meeting is yet another reason why Australia should not rush into any international agreement until there is clear consensus. The inability for an international agreement stems from disagreement between developing and developed nations. After the Bangkok talks the United States and China are still unable to come to a satisfactory agreement. Developing nations are seeking financial assistance from developed nations to introduce cleaner technologies.
Senator Joyce said Penny Wong’s solution to assist developing nations such as China to reduce emissions is to allow them to increase emissions.
Penny Wong is arguing countries like China should be entitled to produce more emissions and set their own targets because they are an emerging economy. If that is the case, then why can’t parts of rural and regional Australia, with their developing economies, be allowed the same concession? The recent Bangkok meeting shows that the international community will be unable to come to any meaningful consensus. Therefore, Australia must make its own arrangements. Media Inquiries David Allender, 07 4625 1500, 0428 196 340FORGET ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!! WITH ENEMIES AMONGST US & THE REAL THREAT LIKE WONG & CO. IT WON’T BE LONG NOW BEFORE 100% OF OUR ENTIRE DAILY NEEDS COME FROM THE SO CALLED DEVELOPING NATION OF COMMUNIST CHINA!!

WONG WANTS US TO HELP THEM BECOME DEVELOPED WHILE WE PERISH ?????
This makes fighting in Afghanistan seem a total waste of time & life! The terrorists won’t want our Country when the likes of Wong & Rudd are finished with it!! It just doesn’t make sense! Our once self sufficient Nation is being driven to a third world status because of our Govt’s support for a non democratic OPPRESSIVE Communist regime who’s ideologies many of our own Australians fought & died against! An oppressive Country which is growing strong at our own nation & its people’s expense & demise? One already responsible for the steady decline of all our rural & manufacturing industries that we cannot survive socially physically or economically without!! Is it only One Nation that is not blind to this crime??THE ROGUE FOREIGN OWNED SUPERMARKETS ARE AT IT AGAIN! TREATING OUR COURTS WITH CONTEMPT AS THEY CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THEIR DIABOLICAL PLAN TO DESTROY ALL COMPETITION IN THEIR WAY!
Taking on Woolworths Reporter: Rodney Lohse Broadcast Date: October 12, 2009 Considered one of Australia's toughest rugby league players, Mal Meninga is facing up to one of his toughest battles - taking on Woolworths. He was one of the toughest rugby league players to take the field, playing 45 tests for Australia and 35 Origin games for Queensland. Mal Meninga is also a great tactician winning a record 4 State of Origin Series in a row as coach - but he may not win what could prove to be his ultimate battle. Gary Grienke teamed up with the legendary Mal Meninga 12 months ago and opened three Meninga Fresh Fruit and Vegetable shops. One of the stores was outside a Woolworths at Taigum on Brisbane's North side, and it's here they've run into some very tough opposition."They particularly attacked us on all the key elements of a fruit and vegetable shop and they are tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce and those sorts of lines, bananas," Grienke said. It's a similar story to the one told by independent fruiterer Peter Chahoub two years ago. Peter bravely stood alone as part of a Today Tonight investigation into predatory pricing - an investigation that showed Woolworths would stop at nothing to win a fruit and vegie war, selling produce below cost price if necessary. Just days after the ACCC introduced new laws to curb predatory pricing; One Woolworths store slashed the nationally advertised special price on bananas from a $1.97 to just 30 cents. Peter Chahoub no longer runs his fruit shop: he went under trying to fight Woolworths. Two years ago, a Woolworths on Brisbane's Southside was one of the cheapest for fruit and vegetables. Today it's one of the most expensive. At around the same time, Thierry Blondeau was fighting off Woolworths at two of his fruit shops - one in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast and one on Brisbane North side. "You had the entire Woollies' management there standing in front of the shop, having a look and walking through the shop. Well, if that's not intimidation, what is?" The result was the same - just like Peter, Thierry went to the wall. Gary Grienke and Mal Meninga have taken over Thierry's shop at Taigum hoping they can weather the storm using Meninga's profile. Judging by Woolworth's prices, it looks like they're up for a tough fight. Rock melons at Meninga's are $2.99 - next door they're $2 dollars cheaper at 98 cents.
At two nearby Woolworths (where there is no fruit shop), Rock melons are $3.42. Pumpkins at Meninga's cost $1.99 a kilo - Woolworths next door are charging 75 cents. At the two other Woolworths, shoppers are asked to pay $2.98. It's the same again on Pak Choy. Meninga's is selling them for $1.99; the Woolworths store next door has them for 98cents (unless you shop at the two with no competition, where they're $1.98). Woolworths refutes any claim they engage in predatory pricing. When quizzed on the price difference for mangoes in their stores, Today Tonight was told the produce may have come from different suppliers. Today Tonight discovered they were from the same farm. It was also suggested the rock melons may have been of varied quality and therefore set at different prices for different stores. Today Tonight was told the pak choy was part of a special buy limited to 80 stores.
Senator Xenophon, along with Senator Barnaby Joyce, has a plan in the form of a private members bill. "Put simply what the Blacktown Amendment says to a big chain is that if you discount there you need to discount everywhere - that way it stops the big chains from picking on the independents and pricing them out of the market," Senator Xenophon said.
PRESIDENTS REPORT.
Dear Members and Supporters,
Guest speaker at our November meeting will be Mrs. Jennifer Zeng, who was imprisoned in Communist China for being a Falun Gong practitioner! She is the author of a book "Witnessing History-One Chinese Woman’s struggle for freedom." Jennifer is a graduate of Beijing University. She now resides in Aust. which granted her Asylum. A description of her book say’s: Zheng Zeng had a perfect life, a loving husband, a child & a membership in the Communist Party. However that all changed when she began to follow the spiritual practice of Falun Gong. The Chinese Govt. sentenced her & others without trial to forced labor camps & tortured them until they agreed to recant their belief. She eventually decided to pretend to recant in order to escape more torture. She felt like a traitor, & decided to write a book to inform people of the horrors taking place in China. Important & timely, "Witnessing History" is as call to arms for all who fight injustice!
Our Singleton Meeting on 8th November will be a fully catered meeting and we need anyone who wishes to attend to RSVP by Monday 2nd November for catering purposes. It will not be a normal Branch Meeting but an early Christmas Party with guest speakers and 2 raffles.
Because this will not be an official Branch Meeting our Branch Minutes from the previous Branch Meeting will not be put out until our January Newsletter before our next Branch Meeting on the 2nd Sunday in February 2010.
Regards,
Jim Cassidy.
