We have won the Battle to Have A Divisional Council, it has been a long slog since 2007, when at a joint meeting of Councillors for the new region, Vernardos, Dyne, Perret, Friske, Neilsen, Petersen, Watt were among those who voted against Divisions.
Now the Divisional areas have been announced the Election is now more imminent. I will be standing for Election in one of the Divisions.

A little Victory for Free Speech
On the 18th Oct 2010 Justice Douglas of the Supreme Court handed down his decision on my appeal against the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal decision, which had ordered me to pay $12,500 plus cost to a Lesbian Group who had made a complaint against me in 2005. Justice Douglas found for me and set aside the decision of the Tribunal and referred the constitutional questions via QCAT to the Court of Appeal. see http://archive.sclqld.org.au/qjudgment/2010/QSC10-387.pdf for a copy of the judgement.
It was good news. (Years of Work) Now at last for a short time we may be free to state an opinion, such as “that Sodomist’s (as defined in Criminal Code) are not happy, they have a reduced life expectancy and their health issues are a huge burden on the community. They should not be allowed to annoy people in Public toilets, Bus stops, Council swimming pools, or other Council facilities, or adopt children”. That’s what started it, and so I have just said it again. Let’s see what happens. We either have the right to political free speech or we don’t.

Some of my supporters in the last election, stated that I should be their “Watchdog”. I have tried to live up to that expectation and give more than that.
When keeping ‘watch’ there is more than one wolf that wishes to feed off the people.
Relentless attacks on freedom come from many different directions, mainly from government, but sometimes the greatest enemy is ourselves. This is caused by lack of information concerning complex subjects.
I hope that these pages are of assistance and inspiration.

Regularly I am asked, what is my philosophy? To often, manipulated by the media, I am placed in a labelled box.
So to know what I think,please read my quotes below, and Rons Favourite Quotes on the above red bar..
To begin with here is two of my own humble quotes from Council Meetings during the 2004 to 2008 duration of Council.
“Local Government main role is to supply justice so people can live closely together in peace, and equity, town planning rules are not needed when people live in isolation, only when they live closely together. When greed favours some and not others, when the rules are not upheld, peace is forgotten, in-justice prevails. Then Local Government is responsible for the result, when eventually the locality deteriorates and people get packed into ambulances or mobile morgues. These decisions give perceptions that Council is variously either a patsy or a collaborator to the manipulations of private operators. The reason we have these rules is for the safety net of people living together in peace and harmony, if you make the wrong decision consider your future consciences.” Ron Owen
“When we opened with prayers this morning the Lady Reverend read us a passage concerning a parable that states, “We cannot Serve two Masters, it relates to this Council as we have to serve the Public not the Council. After having discussions with five ex-middle managers who have resigned from this shire, my conclusion is that this Council propagates and survives on prevarication. It has done so for many years, but fabrications can only be maintained for such time as the Council can shield the people from the political and economical consequences of the lie. It has become vitally important for the Council to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of this Council and that is why we have secret meetings, altered reports and secret reports. This is why the staff are leaving and morale is low, you cannot have high morale with low moral leadership as an example. Thank You! For giving me the opportunity, to have placed on the record, in large letters that I am not a party to it.” Ron Owen.
This is just one sample of my favourite freedom quotes see red bar top right for more of Rons Favourite Quotes.
History predicts the future,
Lord Alexander Tytler on “The Fall of the Athenian Republic.” A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.”
Which sequence and stage do you judge we are up to now?
