Good morning Readers,

I think it strange when I read into the many comments of the new fee (expected around $600) and the outcry that has been poured out by the members of the celebrant community. 

Because what I am beginning to realise is that this is what the Federal Government wants to do, is to divide the celebrants and their various associations to the point that they will have no political argument nor any real strength due to the many criticisms' within themselves.

What is being created  by the registrars of this department is to separate all the good being done by the celebrants and forcing them to eventually become part of group that can be controlled by fiscal renumeration under one roof.

For example once we had many shopping outlets in the community. Now there are only three major players, Woolworths, Coles and IGA. So the division caused by the celebrants themselves will now be forced to become a store within themselves so that prices will become competitive and enquires by would be Brides will only be able to go shopping at one or two major operatives that have celebrants in their memberships, and prices will be controlled or undermined by these two or three sources. Despite the price fixing illegality. Because this is exactly what they want. 

Call me cynical if your like or a that I have a conspiracy theory mindset. I do question what is happening to our lifestyle by the apparent takeover for the Governments altruistic  motives.

But nothing is seeming to make sense anymore. Especially when I open the paper eachday or read the email news or the TV news,  I do wonder of the attitudes and idiotic games played by our so called politicians and their egos. Mark my words.
