Corrupt Australia presents an alternative to the politically correct channels of debate to reveal and scrutinize the skewed structure/design of modern Australian society. We also seek to encourage autonomous Australian culture which is free from the standardizing and overly materialistic clutches of globalisation and which encourages citizens to go further than simply contributing to a quantity over quality mindset and the banal and unsustainable conditions under which we may increase our love for and attainment of material mass.
Qld water use rises again, nation-wide drought persists
"The Queensland Water Commission says there has been a worrying increase in consumption in the state's south-east despite tight water restrictions being in place. Commission spokesman Gerald Tooth says the average hit 138 litres per person per day last month, just two litres below the level six limit. He says over the last nine months the average was 130 litres a day and residents need to start cutting down again. "It's more important than ever that people do those little things like maintaining short showers, putting plugs in sinks when they're washing vegetables, etc," he said. "They need to do those little things around the home so that we can be comfortable that we'll have enough water to get through the next wet season and beyond."
With the nation-wide drought continuing with national rain fall being less than hoped for and water consumption worries like this one, can we coherently support domestic population increase and also the mass annual net-migration of 134.000+ bodies onto our shores, simply in the name of the economy?
Think of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?"
The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride!
No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was
wide.
Boast as you will of your mateship now - crippled and mean and sly -
The lines of suspicion on friendship's brow were traced since the days gone
by.
There was room in the long, free lines of the van to fight for it side by
side -
There was beating-room for the heart of a man in the days when the world was
wide.
With its dull, brown days of a-shilling-an-hour the dreary year drags round:
Is this the result of Old England's power? - the bourne of the Outward
Bound?
Is this the sequel of Westward Ho! - of the days of Whate'er Betide?
The heart of the rebel makes answer "No! We'll fight till the world grows
wide!"
The world shall yet be a wider world - for the tokens are manifest;
East and North shall the wrongs be hurled that followed us South and West.
The march of Freedom is North by the Dawn! Follow, whate'er betide!
Sons of the Exiles, march! March on! March till the world grows wide!
