Government theft

And now to compound the offence, faced with Mr Spencer’s hunger strike, the Commonwealth says it’s all a state matter.

Either it is entirely appropriate to call for the Commonwealth to fix the problem, since they can obviously use the same measures with the states to fix the problem as they did to cause it, or the Native Vegetation Acts should be repealed and replaced with nothing.

If you want someone to grow beef, or wheat, or tomatoes on their property, you don’t pass a law making it a criminal offence to grow something else. If there is a social need for a person’s property which is to be forcibly acquired, then society needs to pay for it. But if society can’t afford to pay, then it can’t afford to have it and is not entitled to it.

To breach this principle, as the federal and state governments have done, violates basic ethics, blatantly subverts our Constitution and is already spelling the end of limited government and a free society.

All Australians should understand that the Commonwealth is implicated up to its neck in what it blames on its accomplices, the states, and they should join in demanding a Royal Commission into this devious and appalling abuse, and for fair compensation for all persons affected by this unprecedented governmental theft.
