Jobs and Housing Party (JAH Party) Philosophy and Principles (Form B) Our foundational principle is to hold politicians to account and also to introduce: A Bill of Rights (added to our Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900, by way of section 128 Referendum) so that this will be enforced by Attorney Generals and not continually opposed. Australian Values & Identity Under our Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900, Australian voters and citizens have virtually no rights, and this enables politicians and government workers to become corrupt and abuse their power. We know this is happening in our nation; the question is, what are voters going to do about it? The vision, mission, and aims of the Party is to reach out to voters and citizens to become members, increase their political voice and rights, secure registration, and contest federal and state political elections ensuring them good government at all levels in Australia. All members of Jobs and Housing Party are free to speak to the media and public regarding ALL issues of interest, concern, and importance to yourselves, your family, your community, and our society. We want housing requirements to be discussed federally not just hospitals and schools. Centrelink cannot be responsible for providing jobs for all. The elected government MUST ensure everyone has an income and pays tax and has some benefits from paying tax. There should be a national Conference to secure housing needs for all Australians. We must all create Jobs and Housing at the national level. JAH PARTY MANIFESTO – PART A What is needed in Australia is a proper balance between an individual’s updated employment training and current employment. It used to be that many people stayed in the same employment all their lives. If they were a labourer they remained a labourer and most often retired earlier than others. If they worked as a police officer then they retired a police officer with a large pension. If they worked in the railways they retired with a ‘railways pension’. Such continuous working lives are near impossible in the 21st Century. This cannot happen now. In modern times however everyone should be guaranteed some sort of employment, or public institution training should be given by the government that will lead to guaranteed employment for the same individual. If a person cannot be trained sufficiently, or educated sufficiently for immediate employment, then they should be put into the regular reserve army or some kind of ‘green army’ on full pay until they are properly trained in various sections that can give a level of training and competency in a position that produces transferable skills such as cooking, cleaning, truck driving, repairer, technician, telephone centre operator, radio dispatcher, warehouse worker, and then they can be sent to private enterprise to see if they are wanted there. Still they may alternatively choose a career in the government. Governments should be accountable and prove they are creating an economy conducive to having everyone on career paths even if it is permanent casual employment even in the military different work places. There should not be any long term unemployed between the ages of 18 and 25 years old or long term unemployed for those aged 50 and 70 years of age. All ages should access to full-time employment: If people people are required to work in Australia they must be given opportunities in either the private sector but if not it must be in the government sector. As the United Nations states that ‘All people should have the right to work’ therefore; Any discrimination should be punishable by the courts and not enforced by lawyers but by special police or tribunal officers after being informed by the general public. All people should be given food and shelter if they are unable to obtain it themselves. All Australians should be given a Charter of Rights and Freedoms just like the international corporations have given to their own employees. If political leaders want to stop highly qualified people leaving Australia to settle and work in Europe permanently then they should treat people properly and give them pay rises according to how well they help the people and advance the general standard of living in this country. All politicians should be accountable for what they do in political venues. They should have business plans certified by multinational accounting firms. All policies should be relevant and turned into empirical outcomes and be proven viable in business terms just as households have to balance their budgets so they do not overspend and have to borrow secretly only to be discovered later. Anyone as an Australian should be able to establish themselves as a political leader without attacks from government. JAH PARTY Part B General Economic Theory & Accountability as it applies to government In ethics and governance, accountability is answerability, blameworthiness, liability and the expectation of account-giving. As an aspect of governance, it (accountability) has been central to discussions related to problems in the public sector, nonprofit and private (corporate) worlds. In leadership roles, it is the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for ones actions, products, decisions, and policies including the administration, governance, and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences. In governance, accountability has expanded beyond the basic definition of being called to account for ones actions It is frequently described as an account-giving relationship between individuals, e.g. A is accountable to B when A is obliged to inform B about A’s (past or future) actions and decisions, to justify them, and to suffer punishment in the case of eventual misconduct. Accountability cannot exist without proper accounting practices; in other words, an absence of accounting means an absence of accountability. So is the Australian Government accountable to anyone? Answer: The Public Sector is controlled by government so government is accountable. They should be accountable to the people of Australia. Therefore: consider our Main Economic Sectors Primary Sector: raw materials production/farming/mining/ oil, gas, and coal Secondary Sector: factory manufacturing Tertiary Sector: general services Quaternary Sector: intellectual/research activities (greatly hampered and reduced in Australia) Quinary Sector: The decision-making in society Sector Groups 1. Business Sector 2. Private Sector 3. Voluntary - charity and business 4. The Public Sector, then refers to the part of the economy concerned with providing various government services. The composition of the public sector varies by country, but in most countries the public sector includes such services as the military, police, public transport, and care of public roads, public education, along with those in healthcare and those working for the government itself, even as elected officials. The Voluntary sector - The Third sector The Third sector as referred to in Japan, see Public-private partnership. The voluntary sector or community sector (also non-profit sector or not-for-profit sector) is the sphere of social activity. Civic sector or social sector in other countries are other terms for these sectors, emphasizing its relationship to ‘civil society’. There is a great diversity of organizations that comprise these sectors. The Private sector Employment - The private sector employs most of the workforce in some countries. It is the backbone of Australia as Australia is dependent on overseas and Australian owned mines. Regulation - The private sector is legally regulated by the state. Businesses within one country are required to comply with the laws in that country. In some cases, usually involving multinational businesses that can pick and choose their suppliers and locations based on their perception of the regulatory environment, these regulations have resulted in uneven practices within one company. For example, workers in one country may benefit from strong labour unions, while workers in another country have very weak laws supporting labor unions, even though they work for the same employer. In some cases, industries and individual businesses have chosen to self-regulate by applying higher standards for dealing with their workers, customers, or the environment than the minimum that is legally required of them. India - This sector is commonly called the joint sector, and includes the industries run in partnership by the state and Private Sector. In a wider sense the initial investment is made by the state and later the handling is done by the private sector. But here the private sector is responsible to the state when it comes to handling. Israel – In Israel this sector is commonly called the Third Sector, (Hebrew: המגזר השלישי) and generally refers to non-profit organizations (NPOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with the line between the two quite fine. These organizations generally fill a gap in the existing government or municipal service provision. Examples include United Hatzalah for emergency medical first response, Yad Sarah for free loan of medical equipment, Yad Eliezer for poverty relief efforts, and Akim for assistance for the mentally handicapped. Significance to society and the Australian economy The presence of a large non-profit sector is sometimes seen as an indicator of a healthy economy in local and national financial measurements. With a growing number of non-profit organizations focused on social services, the environment, education and other unmet needs throughout society, the nonprofit sector is increasingly central to the health and well-being of society. Peter Drucker suggests that the nonprofit sector provides an excellent outlet for a variety of societys labor and skills. In 1976, Daniel Bell predicted that the third sector would become the predominant sector in society, as the knowledge class overcame the effects of the private sector. This presently holds true in a number of European countries. The Netherlands has the largest ‘third sector’ of 20 countries across Europe. In Ireland the non-profit sector accounts for 8.8% of GDP. In Sweden, the nonprofit sector is attributed with fostering a nationwide social change towards progressive economic, social and cultural policies, while in Italy the third sector is increasingly viewed as a primary employment source for the entire country. Sub-sectors - Although the voluntary, community and not-for-personal-profit sectors are frequently taken to compose the Third Sector each of these sectors or sub-sectors have quite different characteristics. The community sector is assumed to comprise volunteers (unpaid) while the voluntary sector are considered (confusingly) to employ staff working for a social or community purpose. In addition however, the not-for-personal-profit sector is also considered to include social firms (such as cooperatives and mutuals) and more recently governmental institutions (such as Housing Associations) that have been spun off from government, although still operating fundamentally as public service delivery organisations. These other types of institutions may be considered to be quasi-private or quasi-public sector rather than stemming from direct community benefit motivations. General Concerns - There have been long-ranging arguments regarding the financial accountability of the nonprofit sector or NGOs (Non Government Organisation) throughout Western Society. There is also ongoing concern whether the nonprofit sector will unequally draw retiring workers from the Private Sector, as the currently large Baby Boomers age. Development of the third sector, it is argued, is linked to restructuring of the welfare state and further globalization of that process through neo-liberal strategies of the Washington Consensus. In a 2013 New York Times op-ed and radio podcast, The Charitable-Industrial Complex, by Peter Buffet who uses the terms philanthopic colonialism and conscience laundering, and describes his insights into searching for answers with their right hand to problems that others in the room have created with their left rather than systemic change. The Business Sector - In economics, the business sector or corporate sector is the part of the economy made up by companies. It is a subset of the domestic economics, excluding the economic activities of general government, private households, and nonprofit organizations serving individuals. The three main business sectors are the primary sector (raw materials), the secondary sector (manufacturing) and the tertiary sector (sales and services). Part C - Australian Values & Identity - Under our Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900, Australian voters and citizens have virtually no rights, and this enables politicians and government workers to become corrupt and abuse their power.
