In the search of the patriotic Aussie
Patriotism built our fine country to a stage where it was the envy of the world, The Aussie digger was a formidable person, the name which arrived some time after the famous battle of the Eureka Stockade where life and limb were sacrificed for the humble right to a free vote, since that time Australians from many different cultures and backgrounds have stood shoulder to shoulder in the fight for a fair go, moulding our fine country in to the ultimate symbol of human rights, freedoms and liberty.
Over the past decades our patriotism has slowly diminished, as many attacks on our freedoms by our supposed elected governments have eroded all that was handed to our generation on a platter, Inground apathy has turned a majority of Australians into those that would rather just complain about what is happening rather than the thought of taking any action, and those patriots that attempt to keep up the fight are simply labeled with such names as loony’s, extremists, racists, left or right of politics and the like, to such a degree that standing up for the rights of the Australian citizen is done in silence by a minority whose exploits are kept silent by an ever empowered media whose job it seems is to support and in fact sway our choice of representation which further adds to their overall power in determining our countries future.
We regularly hear of friends and family that are ripped of or deceived in some way by either the less scrupulous business’s or government departments not to forget our banks and service suppliers, or finding them selves at the mercy of our unjust judicial systems like the family court, and yet they stand alone with out the much needed support we as Aussies should provide. It could easily be said that these organizations and courts can do anything they want without regard to any civil or human rights simply because “no one is watching”, do you honestly believe that such miscarriages of justice could so easily take place in a court room full of supporters?
Our only chance of fighting back has been reduced to our limited ability to vote in state and federal elections, yet many even justify the fact that they don’t even vote, It is some what understandable that this occurs as those with the most to gain from structural biases, the government write the electoral laws to suit their own agenda, leaving us with out any of the standard internationally accepted civil and human rights protections, because we have to have a preference for those we do not know or even those we oppose, couple this with a corrupted counting system (2 party preferred, preferred by the 2 parties) which disregards the most supported candidates in favor of the Labor or Liberal parties.
We live in the only democratic dictatorship in the world, and yet we simply by our inaction are accepting of the situation, givens these facts our forefathers that made all the sacrifices to provide so much for us must be turning in their graves.
If we continue in the same direction what will our children or grandchildren have to endure, all the plasmas and video games we feel the need to bestow on them will in no way provide them with the tools to take up the fight for their freedoms, and in expecting them to do what is rightfully our job shows a serious lack of foresight on our behalf.
So it is now our time to shine, to again become true Aussie patriots, whether it is simply flying the flag over our properties, standing up for our rights or shoulder to shoulder when a mate is in trouble, spending some time making an informed choice at election time, or even as far as backing up the candidate of your choice with support.
Attend court to support your family and friends, investigate wrong doings, pass on that great emails on Aussie courage, buy Australian whenever we can, and teach our children to do the same.
Those that went before us gave everything to tame this great land, so you are simply a disgrace to their hard work if you continue to sit back and let their sacrifices slip away in vain, we are all immortal as we are remembered by what we leave behind for future generations, so what will be your legacy?
I continue to fight for our rights and my children’s future, in the courts, as a candidate, for civil rights, our right to a free vote and in protest, I do my bit for our environment, native wildlife and study towards ideas for our long term future, and I am one of many whom you will never hear of because those that determine our future do not want my kind to become mentors to our children, because they prefer to promote apathy, because the apathetic are much easier to control, so when you have spare time or money, consider the many freedom fighters of this country, the great workers of institutions like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, support services for our returned soldiers, seek and you will find as there are many that give there all for those in need, because you can make a difference, be part of the cure, it simply feels great, and then you can honestly call your self AN AUSSIE PATRIOT. Aussie patriotism hasn’t died its just hidden from view and the time to fight is growing near, so use your voice to expose those hidden patriots, and again our country can take its rightful place as the best in the world once again, and our children will continue to keep it that way, if we as parents become the mentors they so rightfully deserve Aussie patriots.
