In days of Olde, the blooded Nobles or "Bloods" worked together,
to oppose the power of the King.
And in a modern world, people still need to work together to oppose the power of the Crown (Government), Big Business and the World.
Our world is infinitely more complex, yet more than ever, we all need to work cooperatively for the Common Good. BloodWeaver: Strength in shared purpose.

Some issues that I’ve have experienced with which I believe would be good issues for a project include:
Excess traffic fines. Traffic fines are all too often used as revenue streams by the government when their real purpose is to dissuade unsafe or dangerous driving. The bills can easily get to the point where they are beyond the capacity of many people to pay. And many people who live on tight budgets such as those with mortgages and HECS debts, can find their income challenged by unexpected events or fines.
E.g. Tunnel travel fines. If you miss paying three dollars toll-for a trip through Brisbane’s total system, your five dollar fee can metamorphose into a $250 bill of demand from the government. I have seen a number of people end up owing $20,000-$30,000 due to excessive total tolls.
This gives evidence to how excessive the fines are : used to swell government income. Fines that are beyond the capacity of many ordinary wage earners to pay. Serve them right you say. Yet much of the bill stems from turning an unpaid road “toll” of say $3 to government fine of $250. Multiple this by a few dozen events in travel with a “failed credit card” or an “out of date address” and welcome to spending the next few years of your life paying government fees/fines. When fines fund governments, justice disappears.
One reasonable compromise I would suggest is to allow only one legal bill of $250 for every four months of total fines – not to be levied on every single tunnel toll which has not been paid. There is no other business in existence which on failure of payment, can legitimately demand a payment over 50 times greater. For example if you are distracted at the petrol station and failed to pay your fuel (petrol) Bill, can you imagine being charged and being forced to pay $2500 for an incident involving $50 worth of petrol. (Especially where you may not contacted and told about your error and may not be given a chance to fix it). This situation happens with people failing to pay total tolls, quite commonly. A fine today. A leash tomorrow.
The tax office and the government often make changes to procedures. For example you can only contact us electronically. However this can be a problem for many “ordinary” users who may not have the capacity or the desire to enroll in such a system. If you have only yourself to rely on, bureaucracy is intimidating and beyond your capacity to afford. You want to do the right thing, but you can't afford to.
Then there can be other difficulties.
For example you may ring up the tax office, find yourself on hold for up to an hour, at which time the system hangs up on you (having waited for a full hour), leaving you having achieved nothing.
Their website login for registration process may have glitches.
The site may force you to make or sign confessions or agreements that you are unwilling to do.
The Tax office sends you a letter of demand for tax debt – that they have never bothered sending you a bill for in the first place. You are expected to hunt down and find their bills by yourself by default.
The government exists to serve the people – not to be a mechanism of compliance.
Power fears cooperation more than rebellion.
Medical practice issues. The medical industry is a classic example of what happens when you let government bureaucracy do what they want. They breach people for whatever law they wish – justifying it with platitudes such as “it is for the public good”, no matter how many people they succeed in injuring, (killing actually) (The Medical Board / AHPRA has admitted that its actions have resulted in the deaths of 16 health professionals - all for the public good I'm sure- so they say).
It is a system where there is no access to fairness/justice or rule of law for doctors and other medical professionals, (doctors, nurses, chiropractors, psychologists, physiotherapists, podiatrists et cetera). To fight it is to be taken as meaning that you are someone who has “no insight”. This means that you should be punished even more and harder. There is no acceptance that any point of view is reasonable except theirs.

Another example is perhaps local conservation. For example , if you have an enthusiasm for looking after odd species of insects such as stick insects, you can achieve a lot more if you can find other people who are willing to work with you. Consider the koala situation : volunteers track and protect koalas, organising their activities through Facebook to an amazing level. One issue shared is power multiplied. Typical uses of Bloodweaver
If there is a toxic spill or pollution from a home workplace into your yard, in Australia it is the city council that is generally responsible – but they don’t want to be responsible.

Workers Compensation Queensland.
This government organisation was incentivising its claims officers to knock back complaints for a reward. (Lunch vouchers, gift vouchers). I heard about a complaint where a person (removalist) dropped a fridge on their leg, hurting their knee. The required $5000 for an operation to repair the damage to their knee. They were unable to work. Workers’ compensation refuses to pay them compensation. It asks the question: “What is workers compensation for? It is to help people recover from injury and illness and to allow them to have income so they don’t lose their house or mortgage and so that their dependents “do not suffer need or want- as a result of an incident or accident beyond their control. Incentivising people to refuse claims, (without a legitimate reason), drove this person to consider committing suicide – forced to face a future he could not face.

For example: there is a lack of public liability insurance for small organisations. For instance, your local pony club may be faced with closure due to the risk arising from lack of public indemnity insurance or may opt to charge exorbitant fees to try to raise the premium for public indemnity insurance. So many public functions are unable to run – because they have borderline economic viability. They cannot pay for public liability insurance. It is the community that misses out. Government can play a role here to let the community have more options – but it appears only if they are forced to act.
BloodWeaver - The future belongs to those who organise.
In Australia, the Federal Government has a Disability Support Scheme. Some people who essentially just have drinking problems, have support packages that value at $200,000. They get more money and support than most if not all the workers who generate the wealth. The scheme is more like to make disabled people rich than it is to help the people who work to earn the money. If the general public knew what happening , there would be an outcry, but there is no release of information to prevent any “criticism” of the program arising, effectively preventing any oversight.
The rule here is simple: by all means help the deserving poor but there are cost constraints that need to be applied to all government programmes. And always for the workers- the more effort you make, the more reward there must be for your work.
The Disability Scheme has also created an financial incentive for "essential" workers like Firefighters , Ambulance Officers and building workers to give up their main job to become a carer for a disabled person. yet the country needs talented workers able to be "productive". Caring for the disabled is not a productive use of rare human skills and talent.

You weren’t born to service a system.
Many people in parts of Australia are unable to access fire or flood insurance – either there being no insurance or the premiums being so high as to be unaffordable. Annual premiums of up to $30,000 a year have been described. What about another solution. For instance offer to give people a lump sum of 20,000 and allow them to insure for replacement material so they can attempt to do the work to some extent themselves.
Government should be the body attempting to organise a solution. It should be there to help people to solve their problems – but it is easy to ignore issues and just take a ride on the gravy train. Solutions canvassed should include creating new insurance classes that at least give people money to defer the costs of building materials. And government needs to bite the bullet and work towards long term effective solutions such as moving housing to new areas- even if at government expense. It will save money and lives in the long run.
