Telling it as it is

Con, who is aged 58 years, has a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Diploma in Structural Engineering from TAFE, decided some 20 years ago there were other things to achieve in life other than education and since he started his own concreting and building business his life has changed enormously.

He believes change in our ways of going about life and how we accept it generally must be made and people shouldn’t be negative about change.

And that’s why at least 95 per cent of his daring publication stresses the need for change and suggests ways we can go about it.

He even goes as far as to suggest our society is decaying from the inside.

There are 12 chapters in which he looks hard at government, political correctness, main roads and tolls, management of big business, housing, Royalty, indigenous people, alcohol and drugs, the medical professions and hospital system, gambling, computers, climate change, same sex relationships, old age, education and technocrats.

Con says the book will target the 30 to 40 per cent of people with spiritual connection and many others concerned with where society is going.

And that’s not all.

He firmly believes that society is in a mess and in his reference to government and politicians he talks about the promises they make pre–election and the politicians general failure to keep them.

Con also suggests the duplication of bureaucracies between federal and state and state to state is a further drain on available monies.

It’s time, he says, to get rid of state governments and in doing so increase the role of their federal counterparts and give local government a greater role in decision making.

And of the tax system he suggests it is an industry producing nothing in real terms apart from causing anguish among the taxpayers.

As part of a fix he suggests relieving congestion in the cities, cheaper housing in country areas and no road tolls.

The Monarchy   

Con says to those of us who believe in the monarchy we conveniently seem to forget all the grief caused by many of them over the years.

He questions why the present lot, who generally have little to offer to society, be financed by the masses at great expense to maintain a sense of history which was mostly oppressive and controlled by people who, he says, didn’t give a damn for the common man.

And then there’s his call to ban smoking to allow us a better quality of life and to look hard at alcohol usage, including a ban on all alcohol related advertising.

According to Con our society is in very bad shape and most of this is due to the very few who exploit, manipulate, control and show little or no respect for the masses.

Then he asks the question as to why the vast majority of people sit back and allow a very small number of people to spoil it for them.

Idealism, he suggests, is not a great bedfellow of many present day politicians as it requires certain sacrifices and suffering, and on this comment he rests his case.

There’s also references to the way we look at God and suggests we should stop damaging each other and think more about the words “love thy neighbour” and being part of God’s soul will help us all better understand the world in which we live and too often take for granted.

You certainly might not agree with much of what Con has written about, but it will cause you to reflect on your life and question about the need to make changes to how you approach your very existence.

In his concluding comments Con says to achieve change we need a significant section of the population to awaken and a number of influential individuals with a social conscience to lead them. He also says there will be those who will try to discredit and stop any change because it will mean they cannot continue their exploitation of society

Con says the book will be available in the next few weeks and he has high hopes of overseas sales.

He also admits there are those of us who might feel his approach is too radical, but get a copy and have a read and really think about what he is saying.

The book will be available to the public in the next fortnight and we will keep you informed of where you can buy a copy.
