[email protected] (02) 4342 4122 10 September 2018 - Peninsula News - Page 9 ADVERTISEMENT A “Fair Go” for all... or just the Big End of Town? Open Letter: Van Davy [citizen] to Scott Morrison [Prime Minister] To: Th e Right Honourable Prime Minister Parliament House. Canberra.

Dear Prime Minister

Many of us support the idea of ‘a fair go’ meaning ... ‘a fair go for all’.

You make a distinction between ‘a fair go for all’ ... and ‘a fair go, for those that have a go’.

On Friday, 24 August, 2018, speaking directly to the Australian electorate, you said,

“If you have a go, you’ll get a go.Th at’s what ‘fairness in Australia’ means.” [see P M elect, Scott Morrison’s fi rst speech at: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ogbPeTsJwKo ]

At this point, the distinction you make is unclear, but important.

Th e Central Coast of NSW contains 3 swing seats: Robertson [+1%], Dobell [-5%], Shortland [-7%]. Your answers will be important in the 2019 Federal elections.

I have several questions concerning the meaning of your proviso, “if you have a go”.

1. PENSIONERS: do the pensioners of the Central Coast, representing around 30% of the electorates, get past your proviso? Do you regard them as people who “have a go”? If not, why not? If so, then do you regard living at 10% below the poverty line as “a fair go”? If 10% below the poverty line is not a fair go, will you meet during 2018 with pensioner representatives to listen to advocacy for a year-by-year Plan for the Progressive Increase of Pensions [PPIP] from 10% below to 30% above the poverty line over 3 terms of government [2019-2028]?

2. YOUTH: do the unemployed youth of the Central Coast, representing a little under 20% of our youth, get past your proviso? Do you regard them, in general, as people who “have a go”? If not, why not? If so, do you regard relatively bloated unemployment rates as “a fair go”? If high rates of youth unemployment is not a fair go, will you meet in 2018 with youth advocacy representatives from the Central Coast to discuss your government’s support for a Central Coast plan for Youth which includes: identifi cation of future, sustainable industries’ jobs; appropriately expanded TAFE training; a Central Coast university; IT Innovation and start-up centres at Gosford and Wyong?

3. [a] WORKERS: do full-time workers, women and men, who work more-and-more for less-and-less purchasing power, get past your proviso? Do workers who, despite their full-time employment, earn less than a decent living wage, get past your proviso? Do workers who are paid less than already-suppressed Award rates, and/or work more than Award hours, get past your proviso? Do those, mostly women, who are bullied or discriminated out of earned promotion or upgrading, get past your proviso? If not, why not? If so, in a regulated labour system that favours employers and suppresses unions and wage bargaining ... and against a background of widespread tax avoidance by many of the wealthy and corporate, immoral but legal tax escapes to off shore ‘havens’, and huge salaries and stock packages to senior management ... what will your government do to increase wages, ensure Award rates and conditions are adhered to, and remove discriminatory practices?

[b] WORKERS: do workers ... men and women ... whose family and personal circumstances require them to work part-time in odd and more-diffi cult times of the night and weekend, and who rely on relatively higher wages [penalty rates] for working these more diffi cult hours, get past your proviso? If not, why not? If so, will your government change its hostility toward penalty rates?

[c] WORKERS: do workers who work in, or aspire to work in, the renewable energies industries, get past your proviso? If not, why not? If so, then do you regard policy which assaults renewable energy and collapses jobs, and stops growth acceleration in these jobs, as ‘a fair go’? What will you do to ensure that the renewable energy sector expands to replace Coal, Oil, and Gas?

4. MEDICARE: do non-wealthy Australians who get sick and require quick access to GPs and/or a well-resourced public hospital, get past your proviso? If not, why not? If so, can you please give us an assurance that your government will not attempt to privatise, out-source, fi nancially squeeze or diminish Medicare? Is your government prepared to consider expanding Medicare to include better coverage of specialists and dental, with taxes gathered from those of the wealthy and corporate who currently pay little or no taxes and/or who immorally hide their business dealings in off -shore tax fences [havens]? Are you prepared to meet with representatives of the Central Coast medical/nursing/care professions to discuss the specifi c elements of a Central Coast Health provision plan, including access to suffi cient GPs?

Th ese questions could be, and should be, applied to other areas of public policy but space precludes that on this occasion: ADF veterans; Australians with a disability; Aboriginal Australians; victims of intimidation and domestic violence; homeless; undiagnosed and/or unattended mentally ill; drought-aff ected rural communities; and small businesses starving for walk-in business as workers, pensioners, and youth become more-and-more impoverished.

Prime Minister, your distinction between ‘a fair go for all’ and ‘a fair go, for those that have a go’ is meant to exclude a ‘fair go’ from those who have not ‘had a go’. It is therefore important that opinion leaders, the media, political parties, research bodies, polling companies, and the electorate ... are fully aware of just who it is that you believe are NOT “having a go” and will therefore be excluded by your carefully selected words.

I will make this letter available to the Central Coast media and we shall await your reply.
