So Davey asks what chance 4 Family Justice in Oz after all this time?

Liberal leader Tony Abbot says he is looking forward to forming a competent and trustworthy government that delivers on its commitments to the Australian people. (I see a likeness to Tony Blair)

Australia's conservative leader Tony Abbott swept into office in national elections on Saturday as voters punished the outgoing Labor government for six years of turbulent rule and for failing to maximise the benefits of a now fading mining boom.

Mr Abbott, a former boxer, Rhodes scholar and trainee priest, promised to restore political stability, cut taxes and crack down on asylum seekers arriving by boat.

"I now look forward to forming a government that is competent, that is trustworthy and which purposefully and steadfastly and methodically sets about delivering on our commitments to you the Australian people," Mr Abbott told jubilant supporters in Sydney.

It was frustration with Labour's leadership turmoil that cost the government dearly at the polls.

Labour dumped Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2010, for Australia's first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard, only to reinstate Mr Rudd as leader in June 2013 in a desperate bid to stay in power.

Australian people deserve better in Family Court and at the hands of Social Services! We demand REFORM NOW!

Ruddies left the room which is a blow for Australia, as Big Kev was one of those rare PM's with a heart and intelligence that cared for the rights of all people. Rudd was no doubt a visionary and head of his time, or should I say the Australian people were behind the times. Hopefully our next PM will be of a similar calibre to good ol Kev.

Despite what Abbott says or how he says it, the truth is the core meaning behind decisions are to benefit the corporations and the mega wealthy, for in return his and his mates pockets are filled up.

Any relevance and benefit to ordinary australians is merely illusionary, yet marketed to look as though he is catering for the working class Australian. It's smoke and mirrors that's all.

What we would really like to know Mr Abbott, is who owns the ATO, RBA, police force and other so called govt agencies? The "Commonwealth of Australia" you say?

So if it belongs to the common-wealth of the Australian people, where is my share of the profits and yearly P/L statement and blance sheets, not to mention having my say at AGM's as a common-wealth holder just like a shareholder one would suspect.

But if I don't get these benefits and privileges, perhaps I do't really own a share of the "common-wealth" of Australia [owning the government as people think they do], somebody else must then own it.

Hence, if the people don't own or control their govt, and taxes and duties aren't funneled back into Australia for the benefit of the people, where does all the money go?

In fact who owns the"Commonwealth of Australia" (ABN 51824753556)?

Who are you really paying your taxes, rates(property tax), infringements, other duties and levies to?

"OK, let me get this straight. the "Commonwealth of Australia" is a for-profit corporation, listed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and all the departments, agencies, authorities, courts and local councils in Australia, including the police and the tax office, are similarly for-profit corporations, presumably wholly owned by the "Commonwealth of Australia". So, if the tax office wants me to pay income tax, then presumably there is a contract somewhere which I have signed, in full knowledge of what I was doing, that is, without having been subjected to fraud and misrepresentation, under which I have agreed to pay the tax office said income tax. Can the tax office please produce that contract? And can the tax office please produce the terms and conditions, in particular, those related to terminating the contract? To the best of my knowledge, I have never signed any such contract, and never been shown these terms and conditions, and, in particular, have never been alerted to any terms and conditions which may have stopped me from signing the contract. I do not wish to pay income tax. Income tax does not go to fund roads and hospitals, or unemployment benefits or old-age pensions, but goes to the Reserve Bank of Australia, a for-profit corporation owned by overseas bankers, as part of the interest due on the "money base", money borrowed by the Commonwealth from the Reserve Bank, who counterfeit this money, that is, create this money and loan it to the Commonwealth at interest passing it off as legal tender without ever having been given permission by the people of Australia to do so."

Q.What blood line is Abbott from and who are his real masters?

Or is Australia so small and insignificant, like some Holiday House on a distant back beach, that we are unlike the White House in the US where presidents like Obama are direct plants and brought to power by those above, and not by election of the people?

Q.What are Abbott's plans for big picture monetary reform?

In other words, will he have the courage and intelligence to lead a mastermind group to fix the primary problem of Australia, creating a level playing field for all and introduce a wonderful and refreshing new concept called 'INCENTIVE' at the same time?

Q.An immediate area question is why aren't investment rates higher than home loan rates?

This would be a great start providing incentive for people to save and have a chance of their money working for them and not the other way around. It would lift confidence, inspiration and creativity reducing stress and ill health. It would regenerate activity in a much stagnant economy. Hmmm...but why does it not happen?

Ooops, I forgot. Silly me. We are slaves and slaves aren't meant to enjoy anything that resembles freedom. Perhaps I'm just dyslexic, dumb and stupid in preaching common sense.

Tony Abbott is a puppet to the US and whoever pays his bills. He's a Yes man for the good of himself and his family, not Australians. Just wait and see what happens like all previous politicians who sell the people out. It's predictable. People must learn to look above the media and political landscape.

Yes Davey, he's another Blair alright, take orders from the top just like Obama. If Obama tells Abbott to jump, Abbott will simply respond how high.

People must also stop believing what politicians say as they are wordsmiths and masters of deception. They say anything to usurp power from the people to meet their own agendas.

Reform won't come from government, only from the those people who take personal responsibility.
