And may governments have and proudly commit to
a positive, inclusive vision for the future, and start taking an active role in
maintaining and saving for future infrastructure, and ignore the short-sighted,
philosophically motivated financial ratings agencies who think loans to pay for
the infrastructure that is essential for civil society are ‘bad’ debt. May
governments not be authoritarian or afraid of progressiveness – and, in particular,
may the Queensland Government not be so overblown on so-called public
order/justice fears.
Furthermore, may voters have the vision to vote
for politicians with constructive, realistic, inclusive vision to see this
happen. May those who are simplistic/jingoistic, superficial, small minded,
fearful, naïve, reactionary, immature, materialistic or otherwise nonBPM have
their consciousness BPFL raised until they have a broader, more spiritual
perspective and outlook on life, governance and society.
May no unelected government advisor have undue,
inappropriate, excessive or nonBPM influence, and always be BPM mindful of
their proper place in the scheme of things in the context of Parliamentary
democracy.
Finally, may Australia stop being the
steroid-soaked neighbourhood bully of the Pacific, may state governments stop
biasing religious education towards neo-christianity and economic and workplace
decisions towards business, may governments stop attacking social capital such
as Medicare with specious excuses of non-affordability (taxation is a
legitimate source of funding!), start taking genuine responsibility for
stopping violence in our societies and stop doing such appalling acts that the
UN may have to become involved.
