Fourth time standing; hoping for at least 6% again. That means there’s now five people per block who are prepared to face the reality that the collective West’s living standards are about to collapse. Our governments’ printing of money, printing of people and warmongering lies is selling out Australia. Our political managerial betters, the established, keep you in climate fear and unpayable mortgages, whilst pretending the one Earth has resources sufficient for their all-electric dreams and frequent flying. I’ll prepare the community to weather the coming financial reset, gas shortage, fuel supply hiccups and food dislocations. Time to concentrate on ensuring longevity of our water and sewer pipes, poles and wires, and to dispose of waste in the most energy efficient manner. Every dwelling must have space for a food garden, and every community a gathering space within walking distance. No more crapification and density of housing in our Ward by property developers, councillors, bureaucrats and politicians. Preston Market must be compulsory acquired, remain a hub for food distribution, and be a safe place for the vehicle dwelling dispossessed.
