Mangled Thoughts

During the election of 2003, a campaign plank of the ALP was freeway not tollway. The Bracks administration took 11 seats in the Scoresby corridor on the strength of that declaration.

Opposition submits request under F.O.I. ACT.
Reply came back, none exist.

October 2004,

5th - Bracks declares, tollways had not been planned nor even considered before 2003.

Mr. Doyle and others put the question, indicating documentary evidence was available. Bracks confirmed his first answer, no, it had not been considered, had not been discussed in cabinet until 2003.

Mr. Doyle furnishes the documents. In view of that evidence, on the evening of the 5th, Mr. Bracks begins altering his lies, on public radio, then in parliament the next day, including asserting a bureaucrat had independently worked on tollways.

In 2003 , Bracks’ justification for the surprising announcement , it will be a Tollway, is : a ` financial hole in govt. accounts had suddenly appeared, tolling was required to prevent a slide into debt.’ During the Parliament’s sittings 5th, 6th, 7th, 11th Oct. Cabinet specfied the `blackhole was public transport’. The Govt blamed Mr. Kennett’s Cabinet for having established an `inappropriate organisation’ (!? !).

It is worthwhile to observe, long before Financial `blackholes ‘ appears,Finance, related committees and E.R.C. brief cabinet of evidence of any deterioration in budget accounts long before deviations compound into a financial crisis. Whether the Cabinet accepts the advice and acts upon it before it is too late is solely the responsibility of the Cabinet.

Having said that, the `financial hole’ Mr. Bracks and his Cabinet speak of, was identified by them as having emerged in April 2003 after the election, which,even if true according to them,is still one to two years after Cabinet had first considered converting the Scoresby highway into a tollway in 2001.

An obvious contradiction is entailed. On the one hand, the Cabinet asserts the reason is a blackhole, and on the other hand it asserts the budget is sound, the treasurer is running under budget. Both Mr. Bracks and Mr. Brumby said so before, during and after the election of 2003, the budget was in surplus. It asserted the same just yesterday of the current budget. Which is it?
The answer would lie in that glib reply of Mr. Bracks, the Cabinet is sinking the finances into debt, now standing officially, according to Mr. Bracks, at $2b .

That $2b of debt also points to another lie they told yesterday, the current budget is in `surplus’. Now, after having cleared the books of the Cain-Kirner mess, the Kennett-Stockdale administration had the government’s finances were in the black and living well within the proverbial means, but not so not under the Bracks-Brumby administration.

Yet, allowing for blackholes, they are a straw man of a justification for tolling the highway. A false excuse and another lie. At the beginning of this item, it was reiterated, Kennett and Stockdale set up accumulating funds timed to mature in financial markets for when major expenses , road building for one, fell due. One of those funds was set up for the Scoresby highway construction. To, reiterate , by the time they left office, 1999, the fund was already at $200m and thus, it is simple to reckon,if they were still in office, the full amount would of the state government’s part of the purchase price of the highway would have been met.
In other words, what happened to the fund for the Scoresby Freeway under Messrs. Bracks and Brumby?

Either the fund is still intact but, the Cabinet wish to use that fund and the Commonwealth’s 50% of the purchase price payment to acquire a profit earning business or, it has defrauded the govt., and so real taxpayers, by having ransacked the fund in the course of its spending spree, starting at the end of 1999 , as soon as it was first jobbed into office.

It should be observed, one pin of setting up funds is, the important distinction between running expenses of administration met out of regular cash revenues, taxes, and funding major works such as the freeway, as illustrated by Mr. Stockdale’s use of capital funds to build funds for such projects as they fall due. The Cabinet under Messrs Bracks and Mr. Brumby have stolen those funds to pay straight cash flow expenses, top pay for a spending spree , which spree continues apace,it is buying `projects’ out of straight day to day operating revenues. It, the conclusion is sure enough, has committed major criminal fraud.

In committing fraud, they are lying as to why they have done so. The blackholes Cabinet speak of are independent of capital accumulation funds for major, limited projects. The blackholes are due to its general budgetary malfeasance, but of no force for the funds if they are still intact. They are not intact, the Cabinet has stripped funds accounts to indulge its spending spree ( and so has committed fraud in doing so, as well as telling more lies to parliament over finances and budget).

The Bracks Cabinet, to date, has lied from at least sometime in 2001 to parliament over its treatment of financing of the construction of the Scoresby highway.It has violated at least one Act in doing so, the F.O.I. Act, deliberately violated it. It, to suggest, is in violation of at least one other Act:

It has, in the course of 2000-2004 committed fraud in the misappropriation of financial funds, in this case what was already by 1999 a $200m Scoresby Freeway Fund. The Cabinet have deliberately lied to Parliament and the general public. It deliberately lied to the public during the 2003 State election . Last week, Bracks lied again to parliament, and did so despite the fact Mr. Doyle alerted Mr. Bracks he was in the possession of evidence demonstrating contrary facts.

In the face of hard stubborn evidence, Mr. Bracks and his Cabinet have attempted to engage in special pleading and further fabrications in the attempt to buttress out and out lies, and to evade the force of what is indicated, the Cabinet has committed a number of serious criminal offences. The Cabinet decision to default on the contract was made long before 2003, they in fact initiated planning the breach of the contract, a tolled highway, in 2001. The Bracks Govt. during the course of 2003 and 2004 has sought to portray the villain in the piece, when it is the Bracks Govt. which decided to default on the contract. Bracks hoped for a Latham win, he expected Latham would hand over the Commonwealth Government’s Payment of half the purchase price at $600m without holding the Bracks Cabinet to the terms of the contract. Now, as to whether Latham would have volunteered as Mr. Bracks and Brumby hoped, or not, one won’t speculate .

What is the telling upshot of Mr. Howard’s magnificent victory, there is now no rescuing of Mr. Bracks and his Cabinet. There is no Big Bruvver ALP Federal Govt to hand over $600m so the criminals pretending to be responsible Cabinet ministers can set up a profit making business charging govt. monopoly prices .No Big Bruvver to rescue the Cabinet from not merely a furore, a tempest in a delicate china teacup, but the consequences of having committeds serioucriminal offences as well as lesser offences.

Capping it all of, the Scoresby highway affair has also provided a direct window into the financial conduct of the Cabinet. Mr. Brumby is spending the Govt. into bankruptcy,once again, and Victorians into the destitution that comes with another economic depression that Victorians do not need to have but will have to suffer and endure if this govt. is not dismissed on account of its malfeasance. Throw in the fact the cabinet is, through Rod Hulls, overthrowing the Rule of Common Law for what are nothing less than totalitarian Secret Police State Decrees, and how monstrous the govt is comes in to view more clearly than the city of Melbourne. Now, however, the grounds for the dismissal of the ALP State administration are secure, they have committed major offences against parliament and have also committed serious criminal offences.

The Governor General of Victoria, even if he be a socialist, has no choice in the matter, he must do his duty and sack the Govt. Once dismissed, criminal charges must be issued against the members of the Bracks Cabinet. This is the third time the actions of a number of them, including Bracks, have been nothing less than criminally malfeasant, including its Totalitarian laws.
Let’s add it up:

They worked under Premiers:

1. John Cain
2. Joan Kirner
3. Now, under Mr. Bracks.

Both Cain and Kirner should have been prosecuted on criminal counts, under common law and sate acts and federal acts - those on corporations and officers of them.

To finish off with, what sticks out plainer than Mr. Bracks’ fat face is ,as I’ve said often enough, Bracks, Brumby, Pike, the whole Cabinet are I.Q. deficient. What the Cabinet has done is the height of stupidity, the optimisation of morons in action, the last few days in parliament and in public, wach of the Cabinet has demonstrated how below average they are. They have to be morons to stand up in Parliament these last few days and lie while the Honourable Mr. Doyle, Mulder and Welles are holding and waving documents which state the obvious. They have to be morons to believe, as officers of the Crown, and as administrators and thus holding office in trust from electors, they can commit crimes and not be found out.

They are the sort of morons who are yet convinced they are superior to others, can outwit others. They are not only that sort of morons, they are the sort of morons of that sort of morons who believe they can commit crimes, commit indeed `perfect crimes’, and never be found out and convicted because, they are the sort of morons who are convinced of their own genius, wit and infallibility. It is reflected in their command of English, their usage is that of the retarded reinforced by a heady grounding by those masters of the English language Dick and Dora . It is reflected also in, they have been caught out and are being condemned for their crimes and will soon be charged and convicted of them.

It is worthwhile to observe, the medja in Melbourne are publishing as little as possible, Understandable, really, the leftoid media should not disturb readers, viewers, listeners unnecessarily, it is unpalatable and embarrassing, once again, it is a socialist administration which shows out malfeasant and in such a spectacular manner once again.

A spectacular act of fraud from 2001 to the present. What is hilarious is how they went about it, and how have been caught out. A source of much mirth, need a good laugh in view of, this Bracks led ALP administration is running true to form, they are malfeasant, and, as their totalitarian decrees manifest, are malevolent, and criminals on top. The Governor General of Victoria, unless he is a craven and venal type, has no choice other than to do his duty, he must do his duty, and the reasons why he must do his duty are all in black and white.

One looks forward to the Hon. Mr. Doyle’s next instalment in the now long running series, `Morons In The House’.
