Many Parents and Rate-Payers believe that there is a need for an updated Magna Carta possibly in 2015 whereby 1 Tax is recognised as a Feudal process and replaced by an Electronic Transaction Credit system similar to the Australian Electronic Transaction Acts [ETA] 1999-2005 The importance of the ETA legislation was confirmed by the Hon Jennifer RANKINE SA Minister for Volunteers in a letter dated 22 Dec 2006 stating "The ETA provides the regulatory framework that (a) recognises the importance of the information economy to the future economic and social prosperity of Australia" 2 The proposed new Model of eGovernment ensures that all organisations use the agreed international standards for web-forms rather than PDF download forms to minimise administration costs The new model of Government that appears to be adopted in Australia in breach of the Constitution is Model (4) the "Payments Voucher Model" 3 Each person is allocated a number of eProfiles to respond quickly to eInformation processes eg basic eProfile, school eProfile, University eProfile, Leisure eProfile, Career eProfile, Carbon Credits eProfile A Background B Examples of creating Debt by Mis-Management C Advice sought on this issue A BACKGROUND Further to recent articles re your discussions with the UK Prime Minister about the new Economic Policies that place "Huge Long Term debt for Future Generations" we have placed a number of recent relevant articles that are cause for concern on a web-site for review As a Group of Parents we have been tracking how certain legislation like the Australian State Child Protection Acts are virtually impossible for Junior Sports Clubs to implement due to antiquated Processes operated by the Sports Peak Bodies. We have watched as the junior sports clubs membership costs have escalated in leaps and bounds though a variety of "elastic administration fees" each with GST (VAT) increasing the Taxman's coffers. And how Junior Sports Clubs are encouraged by the Sport Peak Bodies to set up web-sites with "Volunteer Web Co-ordinators" It appears that certain advice has been given to Federal, State and Local Government Organisations about new Electronic Policy and Process that add considerable long term costs. Examples include: a the 2004 Rio Tinto WA Future Fund which sponsored the development of a Volunteers Management Scheme which provide the State Sport & Recreation department and the Sport Peak Body with the Volunteer Credits but not the Volunteer or the Sports Club. b The very recently published Council 2008/2009 Statements on Governance and Administration costs and off-balance sheet account notes. Local examples are Governance Costs Administration Costs Mosman Council $ 1,050,000 $ 5,710,000 North Sydney Council $ 1,330,000 $ 10,680,000 Manly Council $ 2,740,000 $ 10,860,000 Warringah Council $ 3,990,000 $ 48,010,000 The Governance and Administration costs appear to be due to the Information Technology and Web services provided by Council whereby each Council Department invoices another Council Department which outsources some of the required services c Politicians and Local Government Councillors aware of the "financial opportunities" from new Waste Management and Energy management Companies eg 1 2007 NSW ex-premier $ 16,000,000 from Coal shares 2 What is Council's "Entrepreneurial Income" $ 3,264,540 ? 3 How is "Waste Management Income" $ 4,131,321 derived ? 4 New Privatised electricity, energy, carbon, waste, water, building management organisations for local Energy Internets eg The London Energy Internet B EXAMPLES OF CREATING DEBT BY MIS MANAGEMENT However more recently there have been a number of examples of how Government is working with Big Business to create Debt by Mis-management Examples include: a Telstra and IBM $ 750,000,000 7-year contract to outsource spare parts management - setting up this project included 1 changing the location bar-codes 3 times in two months so that no-one could find any of the parts 2 recruiting inexperienced unsupervised youngsters to set up the warehouse 3 ensuring that the delicate spare-part boards were damaged by repeated physical sorting b The Health System pre-occupation with 22-page internal job downloaded PDF forms c Recent water buy-backs by NSW State Government including the $34,000,000 buy back from Tandou Farm (Nov 2008) "Tandou Farm is Australia's largest producer of the high value, long staple cotton species known as prima cotton" d OCED contract to outsource all the storage of its reports as an On-line Sales process e Queensland University 2006 tender where a bid for electricity is required every 15 minutes C ADVICE SOUGHT ON THIS ISSUE A number of people have been contacted for advice on these issues including a The Mayor of Mosman 2006-2008 b Various NSW Government Minister including 1 NSW Premier 2 NSW Minister for Sport & Recreation 3 NSW Minister for Local Government 4 NSW Minister for Health c A leading Australian Constitutional Professor However none are able to provide answers hence the suggestion for the Church of England to propose a new Magna Carta for 2015 NEXT STEPS We would appreciate your thoughts on these issues as well as the proposal for a new Magna Carta Yours deeply concerned Paul JENKINS Stephen GOULD Peter AXTENS LLB Hon Chair Hon Secretary Hon Compliance Officer KIDS SAFE-AT-SPORT NETWORK E: paul.jenkins@ksas-au.net M: 0416-009-468 T: {61}(2) 9953-7412 AUSTRALIAN SPAM ACT 2003 The Australian Spam Act 2003 was reviewed in detail at the OIC seminar on 26 May 2005 The Australian Spam Act 2003 refers to Spam as "unsolicited commercial emails".
