Not only are working class Australia being costs from every angle with the ever increasing rises in electricity, food, services, interest, housing, rents, and petrol prices, which we all need to make a living with as we can not rely on public transport to get us to work on time ans is not available sufficiently in rural areas.
This increase in petrol costs are now being passed onto the consumer for everything we purchase as well. We also have to endure increasing maintenance costs on our vehicles due to the poor state of out road infrastructure Federally and Locally and the people with the power to make a change don't seem to care. There is always allot of talk and no action just bandaid that are put in place to keep the community thinking something is actually going to happen.
This affects all of us. Most of all it hits those who are just scraping by. Those on low incomes, all pensioners, rural communities, farmers, small businesses, our tourism industry which affects thousands of people reliant on it as their primary incomes...... and the list goes on.
We, the undersigned, call for the Prime Minister Gillard and the Australian Government to take strong immediate action in leading the world in reducing petrol prices (which we have the highest), the expedited growth and use of alternate fuels and the development of new hybrid technologies, that will lead to the survival of our nation, and in turn reduce our reliance on carbon based fuels.
We can also build a new manufacturing industry leading the world in new technologies for vehicles for alternate electricity. Most of what is place now ask for the community to again pay for the alternative, the Government needs to step up up introduce proper cost effective schemes unlike those introduced in the past that have turned out to be ineffective cash pits again costing th Australian Tax payer for Bureaucratic stuff ups.
We implore them to act now, as we the people of Australia can't wait for action to be taken in the future as we are struggling to survive now. Investment in Toyota's Hybrid car production between Australia and Japan is only a baby step forward, where we need leaps and bounds. Development of hybrid alternatives that are going to be more affordable by the wider community whom are unable to afford to upgrade to new hybrid cars is more of a necessity for the whole community not just those whom can afford this expensive outlay.
We ask for the Australia Government not to be led, but to be leaders and act now for the Australian community, then you may not have to worry about getting voted back in at the next election which always seems to be politics greatest cause their own jobs. We in turn can lead the world into a new age of transport and power technology.
