1973: The year your family went bankrupt, changed their name and moved to another country
The year was 1973: It was the the year that the US ceased its decade-long offensive in Vietnam. The year of the final moon landing. The US dollar devalued by 10% in a single day. The Watergate Scandal was top news. OPEC doubled the price of crude oil, leading to a large fuel crisis. Queen Elizabeth II of England visited Australia’s capital city on a special mission of great importance and signed a new secret Act into force inside Parliament House.
It was the year when your family went bankrupt, changed their name and moved to another country; the exact thing which many would do if they owed and could not pay.
We don’t blame them. We don’t judge them. We just want them to tell the truth about what occurred in 1973, and tell you the truth about how it affects you now.
1973 was also the year your money died.
In 1973, the “common” people and their “wealth” were removed from all Australian currency.
This means that a) the common people are no longer liable for the debts incurred by the government, and b) the common people are no longer able to benefit from the wealth created by the government. Queen Elizabeth on her visit to Australia must have resigned as Queen of the Commonwealth of Australia.
Editor: Remember last year when Julian Assange said that Australia was a “part of America?”:
