Remember when a man's word was his bond?
Remember when a handshake was a contract?
Remember when you could leave the doors to your house open and unlocked?
Remember when you could leave your car open and the keys in the ignition and when you got back it was still there?
Remember when the Westminster system of Government was alive and well,
and if a Minister of the Crown was caught out in a lie he would be forced to resign?
Some of you will be too young to remember those days, but to coin a phrase from Jeff, the grumpy old white Geezers on this Forum will. Sadly those days are gone.
On Sunday our Prime Minister, who as part of her election campaign clearly stated
more than once that "Under my Government there will be no Tax on Carbon"
will announce the details of her new Carbon tax. Her timing is exquisite, Parliament has risen for it's longest break of the year, so the Tax she promised the people would not happen will not be debated or questioned for some time.
Julia Gillard has lied to the Australian people and under the ethics of our Westminster system should resign. Will she? Of course not, she is without ethics or Honour.
All of the legal phraseology of modern mankind would be for nothing,if at the very fabric of it was in the beginning the first to agree or bonded by word.In the Bible it say 'In the;beginning was 'god's word.'Your word is what gives you character. Live by it or perish. 'A mans word is his bond'
I can't remember who said that, but sadly it is a thing of the past.
Shame Julia Shame.
