Focus on what you have, not what you don’t have

By Stuart Ballantyne - posted Tuesday, 3 February 2026


Howabout repealing the UN membership, red, green and black tape that not only obstructs farmers, but it also is forcing them out of business?

What's the deal banning gill net fishing because of misguided UN opinion?

What's the deal banning live sheep exports, because of minority bleating

Surely this repealing initiative is a no-brainer!

We havean abundance of coastline and used to have an abundance of small ports that helped establish the export of agricultural and mining products and the nations prosperity.

Now, thanks to an over-abundance of national parks, marine parks, conservation zones our trading ports are only every 700 kms apart, whereother maritime nations have the key items of prosperity and defence underpinned by having many ports much closer. UK is every 65kms, Gujarat is every 53 kms.

Howabout repealing the EPA laws which demonise and obstruct dredging, and open the navigable waterways which in turn will reduce flooding events? For the information of fools captive to the ABC/Left nonsense, flooding is not due to climate change, most flooding of Australia is from stupidity of not doing what our forefathers did.

Check for yourself, Lismore for example used to be accessible by 70 metre cargo vessels 100 years because there was on ongoing maintenance dredging program. Now getting a tinnie there is difficult.

Surely this repealing initiative is a no-brainer! We are a rich nation imprisoned by our own outdated rules and misguided ideology.

So Prime Minister, as a self professed Christian, howabout popping into a church listen to the 20-25 minute message of the pastor, priest or minister?

They are consistently interesting, positive and uplifting messages that are good for yourself, your family, your company, your state and your nation.
