A wise and frugal government which leaves men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement. This is the sum of good government. - Thomas Jefferson
A similar process of gradual consolidation has taken place most prominently in Europe. Sucessive treaties have gradually moved Europe from a beneficial zone of free trade, to an overbearing socialist federal state now called the European Union. European voters were never told of the true end goal of the project, but were rather given isolated excuses for each successive stage of the consolidation process. Similarly, in North America a pseudo free trade agreement known as NAFTA and a secretive executive agreement called 'SPP', has created a primordial regional governmental architecture. The US and Canada, two first-world countries, being forced to amalgamate with Mexico under a 'North American Union'.
The former Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, had openly announced his Asia-Pacific Union, but in the lead up to an election campaign, the new Prime Minister Gillard claimed she did not agree with the idea. This is despite her belonging to the socialist left faction of the Labor party, which pushes taxpayer-funded multiculturalism. Gillard is also the architect of a national curriculum that ignores Australia's liberty-oriented European heritage, predictably focusing on indigenous and Asian perspectives, despite their noted lack of influence on Australian culture and governmental structure. Although the regional policy for illegal immigration is yet to be formalised, the rhetoric of Ms Gillard is sounding very familiar. |

Julia Gillard's annoucement of a 'regional architecture' for the processing of illegal immigrants, has raised concerns that the asylum-seeker issue is being used as a component to further the cause of the Asia-Pacific Union, with Australia gradually merging into Asia under a single regional government.
