Dick Smith & a fair go for Aussie battlers -

While on the subject of Dick Smith, I note that he now has a handle on twitter and has created a new website called 'Dick Smith Fair GO'...  : https://www.dicksmithfairgo.com.au/ 

The following quote, from the DSFGG manifesto, Dick explains what inspired him to start this campaign:

..At the suggestion of a friend of mine, I have decided to show leadership and attempt a change for the better. This will be done in the form of the Dick Smith Fair Go Group to influence one or both of the major political parties to come up with policies that reflect the interests of the 99%.

Of course it won’t be easy. The only way the major parties can be elected at the present time is by spending a staggering amount on election advertising, and this comes primarily from wealthy donors who have a vested interest in growth to provide more consumers to buy their products, keeping perpetual growth going.

Rather than start a new political party (a very difficult and slow undertaking), I have decided it would be more realistic and effective to influence the existing parties where they feel it most – at the ballot box.

With modern political parties only being elected with a 1% or 2% majority, it is clear that you only need a very small number of voters to tip the balance. That is the plan!
Good reading, and I hope you come on board as a supporter of the group. It’s free, but I would appreciate any donations to assist in communicating our plans...
