A New Vision for Australia -- Sam Watson
Download as ODP, PDF1 like772 views
The document outlines a new vision for Australia as presented by Sam Watson, a leading Indigenous activist and Socialist Alliance Senate candidate. It calls for rejecting the traditional political parties that support wars and attacks on Indigenous communities. A new vision is needed that enshrines justice, democracy, and sustainability in a Bill of Rights. At the core, this must include reconciliation and justice for Indigenous Australia. An alternative is proposed that rejects economic policies threatening the planet and puts people and the environment over corporate profits through principles of democracy, solidarity, and living sustainably. The author is campaigning to advance these values and policies to build the better future that is needed.

Equity and equality differences and understanding notes
Equity and equality differences and understanding notesatul760991 The presentation discusses the differences between equality and equity in relation to caste, class, religion, ethnicity, disability, and gender. Equality aims to ensure everyone has the same rights and social status by treating all individuals equally, while equity implies giving advantages or consideration to those who need it most to ensure fairness and equal access to opportunities. Equity promotes fairness by addressing barriers to participation so that true equality can be achieved.

Equality 
Equality DaniyalAsif11 This document discusses the concept of equality from several perspectives - religion, Pakistan's constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In Islam, the document explains that all humans are equal in the sight of God and will be judged based on their actions, not attributes like race, gender, or social status. The Prophet Muhammad's last sermon emphasized equality and prohibiting discrimination.
Pakistan's constitution has provisions for equality under law and non-discrimination based on gender. It also guarantees equal rights to education and equality of opportunity in government services.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights promotes equality and non-discrimination for all people regardless of attributes. It establishes equal rights before the law and freedom from

Corruption Speech.pdfHarlincoln Singh Thandi Corruption has existed in India since ancient times and was present during the Mauryan period, as noted by Kautilya. It continued through the Mughal and Sultanate periods and increased when the East India Company took control of the country. Corruption now permeates every sphere of life, including business, politics, government, and public services. To address this problem, we must establish a comprehensive code of conduct for elected officials and government employees, give the judiciary more independence to handle corruption cases, set up special courts to efficiently try such cases, and educate citizens to create awareness and combat corruption. Public participation through non-governmental organizations and the media can help save India's system from collapsing due to this widespread

It states that morality involves principles of decency, honesty, and virtue that are innate in humans. Human rights are laws authorized through legal agreements that provide all individuals with justice and equality. However, in Bangladesh the legal system is corrupted and does not ensure people's well-being, which violates human rights and questions humanity. To live in a harmonious society, human rights must be respected and global equality among all individuals must be increased.

Ecology Against Capitalism by Christopher Pickering
Ecology Against Capitalism by Christopher PickeringRatbag Media The document argues that capitalism is incompatible with environmental sustainability for three main reasons. First, capitalism requires infinite economic growth and consumption within a finite environment. Second, capitalism prioritizes profits and private ownership over environmental planning and protection. Third, capitalism lacks mechanisms to correct unsustainable environmental practices and instead relies on endless expansion through the "treadmill of production." The only solution, according to the document, is a transition to socialism which organizes production democratically according to human and environmental needs rather than profit.

It argues that refugees have a right to seek asylum and are fleeing dire circumstances like war and persecution. It notes that most boat arrivals are found to be legitimate refugees. It also argues that a humane refugee policy would be more ethical and cost-effective than the current approach, and that fears of being "swamped" by refugees are unfounded and fueled by racism.

It argues that capitalism is an unjust, oppressive system that exploits workers for profit and leads to issues like racism, war, and global warming. While reforms have attempted to address its flaws, capitalism cannot be truly reformed and a new system is needed. Socialism is presented as this alternative, where the economy is brought under social control and ownership to prioritize meeting people's needs rather than profits. Some objections to socialism are addressed, but it maintains that the struggle for socialism is important despite challenges.

Importance of Democracy.pdf
Importance of Democracy.pdfWajid Khan MP Five significant issues to watch for in 2023
1. Political instability, polarization, and election year
Politics will likely consume most of the country's time and attention in 2023, just as it did in 2022. The country's turn to political turmoil last spring has not ended. a scathing vote in Parliament last April removed Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan from office. The instability and polarization have only deepened since:
Khan led a grassroots opposition movement against the incumbent coalition government and the military, organizing a series of mass protests across the country throughout the year.
The power struggle continues into 2023. While the incumbent government did not accept Khan's request for a snap election, the mandatory national elections must be held by October this year. It would be in the government's political interest to hold them back for as long as possible as they try to emerge from Pakistan's severe economic crisis and weak domestic performance (their diplomatic approach to politics).
Foreign policy has been better maintained, but this may not matter for the election). The past year has cost him valuable political capital, and Khan's party has won a massive victory in a series of by-elections held in July and October. According to Wajid khan, the state has tried to manipulate it. Khan and his party into the lawsuits, drawing on a familiar playbook used against opposition politicians in Pakistan, albeit with limited effect, with court involvement.
Khan's party still controls two of Pakistan's four provinces, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and the incumbent federal government's (extralegal) efforts to wrest power from him in Punjab, province, the biggest, failed (thanks to the court). The year is off to a spectacular start, with Khan's party kicking off the process of dissolving the Punjab and KP assemblies this month to pressure the federal government into snappy elections.
The biggest question for the politically obsessed Pakistan is who will win the next general election. Will former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (brother of incumbent Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif) return to Pakistan to run for his party's leadership, PML-N? Can Imran Khan win thanks to his popular support, despite his confrontation with the army? Wajid khan Mp says Whatever the outcome, we can say the same with the history of the leading candidates:
The direction of the country is likely to stay the same.
2. Precarious economic situation
Pakistan's economy has been in crisis for months before catastrophic floods over the summer. Inflation is crushing, the value of the rupee has plummeted, and the country's foreign exchange reserves have now dropped to a precarious $4.3 billion, just enough to cover just one month's worth of imports, making increase the probability of payment default.
Importance of Democracy.pdf
Importance of Democracy.pdfWajidKhanMP
This fact sheet introduces democratic thinking and examines the fundamental principles of Australia's democratic government system. Wajid khan discusses. These include individual liberty, justice, tolerance of opposing ideas, and representativeness.
What is democracy?
Democracy means Government by the people. The word comes from the ancient Greek words "demos" (people) and "Kratos" (to rule). A democratic country has a system of Government in which people have the power to participate in decision-making. Every democracy is unique and works in different ways. In some democracies, citizens contribute directly to decision-making by voting on laws and policy proposals (direct democracy). In other countries like Australia, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf (representative democracy).
democratic society
Democracy depends on citizen participation. They don't just vote; they participate by participating in the community. That can be done by joining a charity, political party, environmental, or community group.
A democratic society works towards democratic ideals.
We respect individuals and respect their right to make their own decisions.
Tolerance for differences and opposing ideas.
Justice - Respect all people and help them reach their full potential.
Everyone has freedom of speech, association, movement, and belief. Justice – Treat everyone fairly, both in society and in courts.
Here are four key ideas that drive Australian democracy:
Canadian Politician Wajid khan explains many points in this post;
Constitutional order - The structure and powers of the Australian Parliament are set out in the Australian Constitution, which also describes the management of the Australian High Court to determine whether laws comply with the Constitution.
Liberal Democracy - As a nation, we support individual development and well-being.
Pluralistic Society - Australian society is diverse, with many ethnic, racial, religious, and social groups coexisting.
Representative Democracy – Citizens can vote to elect MPs to make decisions and legislation on their behalf. If citizens think their members of Parliament are not doing a good job, they can elect new members of Parliament at the next election.
Respect and Tolerance of Dissent - Parliament discusses issues and new legislation and consults the Australian Government on effortsto make the Australian Government accountable to the Australian people. Listening to different perspectives and minority voices in society strengthens our democracy.
Responsible Government – To belong to a government, a political party or coalition must have the support of a majority of members of the House of Representatives. That ensures that the Australian Government is accountable to the Australian Parliament.
What are the benefits of democracy?
Wajid khan Mp explains there are ways to resolve disagreements and conflicts peacefully.
Respect for human dignity. The freedom to act, speak and think freely (

The Black Panther Party Ten-Point ProgramThe Black Panther.docxrhetttrevannion The document outlines the 10-point program of the Black Panther Party, which was founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. The program demanded both practical reforms like jobs and housing as well as self-determination for the black community. The 10 points included calls for freedom, employment, an end to capitalist exploitation of black communities, decent housing, education that teaches true black history, exemption from military service, an end to police brutality, freedom for black prisoners, black people to be tried by juries of their peers, and access to basic needs like food and justice. The program embodied the complexity of the Black Power movement in combining demands for both material improvements and political empowerment.
Policies procedures
Policies proceduresBob Day The document outlines the policies, procedures, and organizational structure of the Family First Party in Australia. The key points are:
- The party aims to promote strong families, values, and Australia through legislation and becoming the third major political party.
- It has a federal structure with state divisions and seeks to nominate candidates to advance its policies.
- Policies focus on supporting marriage, families, small business, tax reform, and opposing policies like carbon taxes.
- Candidate selection and staff are expected to uphold the party's values of excellence, integrity, and respect.
- The party relies on members and supporters to represent it at polling booths and provide policy input.

17525709 c wood politics, power and resistance17525709 Globalisation began in the 18th-19th centuries through colonialism and trade but the term didn't become common until the late 1980s. It refers to the increasing integration of economies through trade, capital movement, migration, travel, and spread of knowledge. Major developments in transportation and telecommunications in the 21st century have furthered global interdependence through online shopping and social media. However, critics argue globalization increases exploitation of workers as large corporations outsource jobs while profits increase.

It would be in the government's political interest to hold them back for as long as possible as they try to emerge from Pakistan's severe economic crisis and weak domestic performance (their diplomatic approach to politics).
Foreign policy has been better maintained, but this may not matter for the election). The past year has cost him valuable political capital, and Khan's party has won a massive victory in a series of by-elections held in July and October. According to Wajid khan, the state has tried to manipulate it. Khan and his party into the lawsuits, drawing on a familiar playbook used against opposition politicians in Pakistan, albeit with limited effect, with court involvement.
Khan's party still controls two of Pakistan's four provinces, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and the incumbent federal government's (extralegal) efforts to wrest power from him in Punjab, province, the biggest, failed (thanks to the court). The year is off to a spectacular start, with Khan's party kicking off the process of dissolving the Punjab and KP assemblies this month to pressure the federal government into snappy elections.
The biggest question for the politically obsessed Pakistan is who will win the next general election. Will former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (brother of incumbent Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif) return to Pakistan to run for his party's leadership, PML-N? Can Imran Khan win thanks to his popular support, despite his confrontation with the army? Wajid khan Mp says Whatever the outcome, we can say the same with the history of the leading candidates:
The direction of the country is likely to stay the same.
2. Precarious economic situation
Pakistan's economy has been in crisis for months before catastrophic floods over the summer. Inflation is crushing, the value of the rupee has plummeted, and the country's foreign exchange reserves have now dropped to a precarious $4.3 billion, just enough to cover just one month's worth of imports, making increase the probability of payment default.
Importance of Democracy.pdf
Importance of Democracy.pdfWajidKhanMP
This fact sheet introduces democratic thinking and examines the fundamental principles of Australia's democratic government system. Wajid khan discusses. These include individual liberty, justice, tolerance of opposing ideas, and representativeness.
What is democracy?
Democracy means Government by the people. The word comes from the ancient Greek words "demos" (people) and "Kratos" (to rule). A democratic country has a system of Government in which people have the power to participate in decision-making. Every democracy is unique and works in different ways. In some democracies, citizens contribute directly to decision-making by voting on laws and policy proposals (direct democracy). In other countries like Australia, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf (representative democracy).
democratic society
Democracy depends on citizen participation. They don't just vote; they participate by participating in the community. That can be done by joining a charity, political party, environmental, or community group.
A democratic society works towards democratic ideals.
We respect individuals and respect their right to make their own decisions.
Tolerance for differences and opposing ideas.
Justice - Respect all people and help them reach their full potential.
Everyone has freedom of speech, association, movement, and belief. Justice – Treat everyone fairly, both in society and in courts.
Here are four key ideas that drive Australian democracy:
Canadian Politician Wajid khan explains many points in this post;
Constitutional order - The structure and powers of the Australian Parliament are set out in the Australian Constitution, which also describes the management of the Australian High Court to determine whether laws comply with the Constitution.
Liberal Democracy - As a nation, we support individual development and well-being.
Pluralistic Society - Australian society is diverse, with many ethnic, racial, religious, and social groups coexisting.
Representative Democracy – Citizens can vote to elect MPs to make decisions and legislation on their behalf. If citizens think their members of Parliament are not doing a good job, they can elect new members of Parliament at the next election.
Respect and Tolerance of Dissent - Parliament discusses issues and new legislation and consults the Australian Government on effortsto make the Australian Government accountable to the Australian people. Listening to different perspectives and minority voices in society strengthens our democracy.
Responsible Government – To belong to a government, a political party or coalition must have the support of a majority of members of the House of Representatives. That ensures that the Australian Government is accountable to the Australian Parliament.
What are the benefits of democracy?
Wajid khan Mp explains there are ways to resolve disagreements and conflicts peacefully.
Respect for human dignity. The freedom to act, speak and think freely (
The Black Panther Party Ten-Point ProgramThe Black Panther.docx
The Black Panther Party Ten-Point ProgramThe Black Panther.docxrhetttrevannion The document outlines the 10-point program of the Black Panther Party, which was founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. The program demanded both practical reforms like jobs and housing as well as self-determination for the black community. The 10 points included calls for freedom, employment, an end to capitalist exploitation of black communities, decent housing, education that teaches true black history, exemption from military service, an end to police brutality, freedom for black prisoners, black people to be tried by juries of their peers, and access to basic needs like food and justice. The program embodied the complexity of the Black Power movement in combining demands for both material improvements and political empowerment.

17525709 c wood politics, power and resistance17525709 Globalisation began in the 18th-19th centuries through colonialism and trade but the term didn't become common until the late 1980s. It refers to the increasing integration of economies through trade, capital movement, migration, travel, and spread of knowledge. Major developments in transportation and telecommunications in the 21st century have furthered global interdependence through online shopping and social media. However, critics argue globalization increases exploitation of workers as large corporations outsource jobs while profits increase.

WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THIS NATIONS SECURITY AND LONGEVITYPeter Adamis This document discusses what Australians have contributed to the security and longevity of the nation. It questions whether Australians have paid taxes, raised families, served in the military, or created jobs, or merely lived off the backs of others. It argues that as the desired destination for many migrants, Australians should expect newcomers to abide by the rules of the host country and respect its people and culture. While acknowledging Australia's compassion, it also asserts that the nation has the right to protect its freedoms, heritage, and Western way of life from any external influences perceived as a threat. The document concludes by asking what the reader has personally contributed to Australia and if they have earned the right to call themselves Australian.

Why Should I Come To The Climate Rallies (Queensland)Ratbag Media The document calls on people to attend the national climate rallies on June 13th to pressure the Australian government to adopt more ambitious climate policies and carbon reduction targets. It argues the current Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme is inadequate and will not significantly address climate change. The rallies aim to build a large climate movement that outweighs fossil fuel lobbying influence so that Australia commits to deep carbon reductions and 100% renewable energy at the upcoming global climate negotiations in Copenhagen. Participants are urged to attend the rally in Queens Park on June 13th to demand climate protection policies that make polluters pay and transition to a green economy.

An Introduction to Marxist Economics
An Introduction to Marxist EconomicsRatbag Media The document discusses Karl Marx's labor theory of value and the concept of surplus value. It explains that necessary labor refers to the labor used to produce goods for workers' subsistence, while surplus labor produces a social surplus product appropriated by the ruling class. Surplus value is the monetary form of this surplus product and represents uncompensated labor extracted by capitalists. The labor theory of value asserts that the exchange value of a commodity is determined by the labor time required to produce it. The document then discusses how stagnation in productive sectors led to the growth of financialization as a way for surplus capital to accumulate.

It describes how the revolutionary Bolshevik party degenerated into a bureaucratic dictatorship under Stalin.

This paved the way for Stalin to consolidate his control over the Communist Party and Soviet state.

It notes that the carbon offset from planting 1 million trees or changing light bulbs would be negated by emissions from the Queensland coal industry in under 7 hours and 32 hours respectively. It also discusses the industry's large contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, projected to be 848 million tonnes annually by 2025, and the Queensland government's plans to increase royalties and reliance on coal revenues. The coal industry is a major economic driver for Queensland but also a significant source of emissions.

A New Vision for Australia -- Sam Watson
- 1. A new vision for Australia By Sam Watson, Leading Indigenous Activist Socialist Alliance Senate Candidate for Queensland
- 2. A new vision for Australia As Australia’s most important federal election in decades approaches we urgently need a new vision for this country’s future.
- 3. A new vision for Australia Traditional politics—Coalition and Labor—is more and more hostile and irrelevant to that future. What hope can a government that has engaged in criminal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and attacks on Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory offer us?
- 4. What hope is in there in a Labor “opposition” that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with John Howard in his latest racist attack, supports anti-terrorism legislation that destroys civil liberties, and retreats from its promises to tear up Howard’s hated anti-worker and anti-union laws? A new vision for Australia
- 5. A new vision for Australia It’s time to put the shameful and disgusting politics of the major parties into the rubbish bin. It’s time to enshrine the values of the just, democratic and sustainable society we need in a Bill of Rights—something Australia’s ruling elites have never felt its people could be trusted with.
- 6. A new vision for Australia At the core of such a Bill should be reconciliation with and justice for Indigenous Australia. Most of all, it’s time to build a political alternative that rejects the economic rationalist agenda of dog-eat-dog “competitiveness”, which threatens our planet with a permanent tragedy of war and environmental disaster.
- 7. A new vision for Australia The alternative we need must put people and our planet before the profits of the giant corporations. It must enshrine the principles of democracy, solidarity and cooperation. It must learn from Indigenous tradition and respect and live in balance with the natural world.
- 8. A new vision for Australia As a Socialist Alliance candidate in the 2007 federal election I am standing to advance these values and the concrete policies that can promote them. If you agree with our approach, express your support by signing on with our campaign. By working together we will build the future we all need!
