Australians for Better Government Update #16
WE THE PEOPLE
Are you sick of the way Australia is governed?
For years, successive Australian governments have failed to deliver basic national security fundamentals that every responsible country should have. One of the most alarming failures is Australia’s dangerously low fuel security.
Despite repeated warnings from experts, our government has not ensured even a 90-day strategic fuel reserve. This leaves our nation critically vulnerable. In a major global disruption — whether caused by conflict, natural disaster, or supply chain failure — Australia could run out of fuel in a matter of weeks.
Our economy would grind to a halt, supermarkets would empty, hospitals would struggle, farmers would not be able to sow their fields and everyday Australians would be left stranded.
This is not theoretical. It is a foreseeable and preventable failure of leadership.
While other nations maintain robust strategic reserves, Australia continues to rely on “just-in-time” imports in an increasingly unstable world. This reckless complacency must end.
That’s why Australians for Better Government is committed to not only pointing out where our politicians have failed, but where our system itself is failing, and what we can do to fix it.
ABG is holding two important community events in the coming weeks where everyday Australians can come together, be heard, and demand better governance:
Central Coast – Saturday 2 May at 2pm
Lusso Estate Function Room - 195 Johns Road, Wadalba NSW
Cessnock – Sunday 3 May at 2pm
East Cessnock Bowling Club - Neath Street, Cessnock NSW 2325
Full details, times, and venue information are available now on our website: www.australiansforbetter.com.
We encourage you to check us out and bring family and friends. The more voices we have, the stronger our message becomes.
Australia deserves better government — government that puts the security and prosperity of its own people first. If you’re tired of the failures, the excuses, and the weakness, then join us at these upcoming 'We The People' events.
We look forward to seeing you there.
For a better Australia,
Steven Tripp
ABG President
Don't Miss These Incredible Speakers
Both 'We The People' events will bring together visionaries, policymakers, Constitutional experts, and engaged citizens to explore bold ideas for transforming our governmental structure and constitution.
We are blessed with wonderful and impactful speakers, including Dr. Christopher Reynolds who is Australia's most researched and influential historian and political philosopher, and also the only Australia to have worked in the US Congress.
See more from Dr. Reynolds here:
We will also have Katy McCallum, the President of Let's Rethink Renewables coming down from Kilkivan in Queensland to give her perspective on how Governments, both State and Federal, treat our local communities.
Katy is fast becoming one of Australia's most well-known speakers, with many of her heartfelt videos going viral in recent months. To see more from Katy McCallum, see here:
At our Central Coast event, we will have Martin Stevenson, who is a local business owner and grassroots campaigner, who will give a unique insight into the pressures business owners and local candidates face when dealing with big Government.
At our Cessnock event, we will have Stuart Bonds, who is one of the most prominent One Nation candidates in New South Wales and who has amassed a huge following and mainstream media attention. Stuart always speaks with candor and brutal honesty about the way Australia is headed and you will not want to miss the opportunity to meet him and hear him speak.
Don't miss these important events.

Has Power Been Taken from Australians? - Article by Mark Neugebauer - click to read
I believe it has, but I also believe it’s not too late to reclaim it.
Decisions that shape everyday life in Australia increasingly feel distant, abstract, and insulated from public influence. Over time, there has been an observable drift of power away from the people, and toward interconnected networks of influence that operate with limited democratic accountability.
This drift didn’t happen overnight. It occurred slowly, over decades, quietly enough that many Australians, including myself, didn’t fully notice it at the time.
Australians MUST be given a say on immigration - Article by Steven Tripp - click to read
“We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come.”
This was the famous quote by then Prime Minister John Howard at his 2001 election campaign launch.
Many took it as a statement of defiance; the line in the sand to say that Australia alone will decide its immigration intake and the character of the migrants we allow into the country.
Unfortunately, what Howard was really saying was that ‘we the politicians’ decide, not everyday Australians.
