West of Bali, there is a town called Jembrana, host of the annual bullock challenge.
The Eden Monaro Voice wishes all a prosperous new year as we muster our courage to ride through the year of the Ox.
Wishing for a “happy” New Year may be an insult to the reality that most are experiencing. So when the obvious is dragging along the ground … looking from ground level, then the only way is up.
This new year looms like the cliché “A Perfect Storm”.
Join us in the journey as we navigate our way through concerning sentinels of interest for 2021
Topics to look for in forth coming publications :
Global reaction for Assange and wikileaks – Double standards preside.
Will our awareness be awakened by the 2020 US elections and leave us asking many important questions on how it affects future Australians.
Did we react at the US and UK interference in Australian 29th federal Parliament proceedings – After alleged CIA involvement – in 1977 United States Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher made a special trip to Sydney to meet with Gough Whitlam and told him, on behalf of US President Jimmy Carter, that the US would never again interfere with Australia’s democratic processes – That promise is yet to be realised in view of the Assange outcome.
Political donations in Australia may be buying political policy outcomes
Trust in all governments is at all time low – Stats are said to be down from the record high of 86 % in 2007, slightly below the historic low of 56 % in the years after Gough Whitlam’s dismissal.
What are the chances for Democracy and transparency in 2021 – not to be a contradiction in terms? – Local crowd funding soon to be initiated for action against corruption – not so easy and dangerous but it could be worth it.
Ongoing gauntlet for indigenous land claims and its gravity – Aboriginal land reform
Outcomes of amalgamating Councils – rising costs as larger areas for council to be considered – slow upgrades in financial strategy and adopting actions and transparencies.
Re-shuffling of candidates for the 2021 September council elections, and preparations for the 47th Parliament of Australia.
Cryptocurrency is now a 2021 reality – new laws emerge for government controls.
Climate change – its manipulated political history may add to overall corruption of today.
