re Peter Lewis’ Compact for Good
Government
Hello
I
am John Robertson and like you, I received an email from Deanna Gill.I
studied the Compact and like it.
I did not know Peter Lewis had a positive
feeling for Citizens Initiated Referenda (CIR) but if ever South Australia
adopted CIR I would set out to improve the lifestyle of Rural South
Australians and others by initiating reforms as a citizen.Your positive and
negative comments to help start a public debate on my proposals would be most
welcome.
Law: Australia does not have Human Rights Legislation.SA
should lead the other States and the Commonwealth by enacting Human Rights
Law.I have first hand knowledge of corruption in SA Law Courts; details
can be provided, click.
With
excellent Law, excellent businesses and people would be attracted to SA.
Money: With modern computers it is ridiculous to tax in
obsolete ways.1% tax on all credits (deposits) and on all debits
(withdrawals) in the banks and other finance houses would provide the SA
Treasury with too much money.All existing SA taxes would be scrapped.SA would
then lend its surplus money to the banks at 1% who in turn would lend to
businesses and homebuyers at 3%.This low cost money would attract excellent
businesses and people to create full employment in SA.
People and Corporations evading the 1% tax
would be fined ten times the tax evaded and be barred from the low cost money
for ten years.In addition, their competitors and others would have the right
to claim treble damages in the civil courts for losses suffered by paying
their tax while the evaders did not pay tax, so causing unfair competition.
State
Retirement Pension: To increase
the money movements and therefore SA tax receipts and money available for low
cost loans, an Old Age Pension equal to 20% of the Commonwealth Age Pension
would be paid.This would attract people to SA so further boosting business
and employment opportunities.
With the SA economy fixed, money would be available for better
supplies of electricity, water, health services, education, transport,
environment services, police, emergency and human services.
As
one example, ample low cost money could finance wind turbine electricity
generation. Port Augusta would be a good site as the existing power
grid system radiates from there. The Flinders Ranges and Spencer Gulf
combine to provide suitable wind farm sites. Off-peak electricity
could pump seawater into a hydro electricity dam on the Flinders with the
exhausted water from the hydro-electric scheme flowing into Lake Torrens and
Lake Eyre. Surplus clean electricity could produce clean hydrogen
fuel. The additional lakes water would cause more
evaporation and therefore more dew and thunderstorms.
Living in Rural Areas would be enhanced by
employment opportunities via the Internet and by the servicing of aged people
wanting to enjoy their retirement in Country Towns.
So, what do you think?
Regards
John Robertson

Hi John,
I
agree with you on the 'Compact;' with the 'CIR' & 'Debits Tax' being
workable propositions for South Australia.
I
also agree Port Augusta is an ideal site for infrastructure such as your
'Wind Farm - Hydro' project as it is about to become the cross roads of the
country's rail system.
Opportunities
abound.
I
have for some years been touting to politicians my idea for a 'Very High
Temperature Incinerator.'
See the
attachment; it is only a brief as to how it works.
Thank
you for your interest.
Peter
Ramsey
VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE INCINERATOR (‘VHTI’)
With the completion of the Adelaide
Darwin rail line come some advantages.
This
will put Port Augusta at the crossroads of Australia, & if you read
further, the world.
Probably
the jewel in the crown we have not yet looked at.
One
of the major problems facing every continent, is the disposal of waste.
(The
U.K. in the past dumped 500 million tonnes of sewer waste a year in the
ocean; it now incinerates it)
The
downside of such a venture is the initial cost, (approx $5billion) but the
benefits would return that cost very quickly & many times each year after
that.
The
waste can be imported to Port Augusta by sea or by rail.
A
‘VHTI’ turns large amounts of toxic (including low level
radioactive) waste into small amounts of inert waste.
The
waste is returned to its country of origin in the form of either soda ash or
vitreous blocks.
At
worst, this now safe waste can be returned to landfill.
The
ash can be used as a concrete additive.
It
is also simply made into super strength blocks, suitable for building
dwellings, bridges, road bases, causeways, reclaiming the sea, etc.
Blocks
made from the ash waste can withstand extremes of erosion & heat.
Another
by-product of a ‘VHTI’ is a vast amount of intense heat.
This
would be used to generate huge amounts of power, which could be easily put
back into the national grid.
Seawater,
which is delivered by way of the gulf on which the town is situated, could be
desalinated quite cheaply with the amount of intense heat available.
The
water quite apart from supplementing the driest state with fresh water, would
allow settlement & expansion on a commercial basis in the far north of
South Australia.
Recycled
water from these developments would in turn support agriculture on now barren
yet fertile soil, through which much of the railway runs.
The
technology is mainly simple physics, & already available to bring the
procedures to reality.

Hello Peter
Thanks for your support. I am setting up a sub-directory
in my UK Website to expand public interest and comment.
As you agree with CIR and Debits Tax can
we look further on to our competing projects. I see that VHTI would
cost $5billion. What would the stages be?
My proposals would be constructed
progressively in accordance with the money flow; can VHTI show a return on
capital cost before the whole $5b is spent?
My specialty is tax and banking and if it
is more feasible to start with VHTI than with windfarms that is fine with
me. And if someone comes up with better ideas, that is better
still. Every worthwhile project can be financed in its time.
In due course we need to put forward an easy to understand and unambiguous
petition for CIR.
Regards
John

John,
I believe the cost of setting
up 'VHTI' would be returned very quickly & create a very good income.
Waste for other countries
could be treated at a price, & the residue returned to that country, in
varying forms.
The vitreous blocks created
from the waste are also marketable.
