4 YEARS TERM

2002-05-27

Australian politicians came up with a new idea of extending

sitting in the Federal Parliament to four years and Senate

to eight years. What a fantastic thought but why?

They are talking about saving monies, since currently we have

too many elections in any short period of time. Members of both

sides of politics agree on that issue. But why did politicians

concentrate their efforts only on that one particular subject?

Why don’t they want to improve all of our system of Government?

Why don’t they like talking about how much money we could

save on changes to overloaded Australian parliamentary system?

We have Federal, State and Local Governments. They are

duplicating power and responsibilities, blaming each other

for mistakes and lack of policies. How much are we spending

on parliamentary wages, superannuation, privileges, travelling

and other allowances? How much we could save on these specific

matters? Politicians like making tough decisions but only against

ordinary citizens. They never volunteer to decrease their position and

privileges. Everything changes around us like the environment,

economy, and social life but in political sense nothing. Politicians like

explaining that we need to make adjustments in the existing, because

we are living in advanced and rapidly speed, so called techno-social

environment. But political status is untouchable.

Our political structures were established more then a century ago and

they are not suitable any more to the 21st century.

In that sense we not moving forward, we are simply going backward.

All major parties don’t like to change this situation because that

gives them influence, money and power. That’s why we have to

push politicians to make changes, that give us more efficient,

accountable, honest and better Members of Parliament or the

Governing System. We need people in power who clearly understand, that

our establishment has to create responsibilities for all Governments

and set up proper legislation indicating who and where should  

have legislative and control. In the current situation all of the power

is out of reach of the citizens’ rights.

That is the biggest weakness of our political system.

Politicians should start thinking about this very seriously if they want  

our approval to increase their power and elevated  position in

this country. And we are not talking here only about honesty, credibility

but most of all about attitude to listen our voice.

The voice of the community, the voice of ordinary citizens who have

chosen their Members of Parliament for represent them and listen

to them, not to ignore them.
