MARK ALDRIDGE
Political & civils rights advocate, animal lover & state co-ordinator for the Australian Federation Party
After many years of local advocacy and as a federal election candidate, I am now South Autralian tate Co-ordinator for the "Australian Federation Party"
MARK ALDRIDGE
My name is Mark Aldridge and I believe I am South Australias most passionate advocates and previous political candidates, so I hhave left this old website active, so people can clearly see my past.. I am passionate about making a difference and with your support I will bring a voice back to the people of Australia who have been ignored for too long.
During the Pandemic which started well before the official narrative in mid 2019, I posted information about the UNs manifesto, which resulted in my complete web history being removed, including my Face book page, Youtube channel and Instagram, so this page is th eonly like to my history for those whom may seek to support me in the future.
I want to help make SA a better place to live for our children and for future generations – this includes increasing job opportunities, making where we live safer, reducing the cost of living and reducing the impact we’re having on the environment.
I have been a community advocate and Independent candidate for over 20 years, I grew up in Parafield Gardens, I run your local markets to give back to my community, and my family and I have been active in the local area since I can remember.
Since the electorate of Ramsay was created in 1985 it has been considered a ‘safe’ Labor seat, and because of this, the government has stopped listening to people in the Northern suburbs and the Liberals have been missing in action.
I will not be representing Nick, Jay or Steven, I will not be taking orders from big business or political donors, I will be listening to you, and I will be representing you.
I want to bring the Government’s focus back to the people in Ramsay whose lives are affected by the decisions made in State Parliament. I am best suited to achieve this, as I am well known for never backing down, and my resourcefulness at bringing change.
I have worked in a variety of fields, from local jobs as a child, to running small business, disaster response, animal welfare & rescue, and my time protecting those in primary production.
I have always been available day and night for those in need, during disasters I am on the ground and taking action before our government even debate what to do. I back our farmers on a daily basis, and if called upon to sort a local issue, I act immediately.
I have studied a variety of topics over the years, from our constitution, our legal system and the application of legislative reform.
I have worked in the retail, manufacturing and automotive industries, and over the past 20 years, I have taken a deep interest in political & electoral reform. This experience has given me a valuable insight into how politics works, what needs to change and how I can best help people.
I will work tirelessly to fix the problems of job losses and underemployment, the rising costs of utilities, the rise in social regulation and the sale of our nation’s strategic assets. This will reduce inequality, improve opportunities and bring back hope for our young people.
Unlike the local Political party representatives, I do not fear open debate, unvetted questions and answering to you. I also am proud of what I have achieved as a community advocate and would enjoy your scrutiny of my achievements.
Will I be controversial, you bet, I will not bow to political manipulation, corruption or threats of any kind, I will be your representative, and I will represent you with compassion and honour.
I am asking you for the privilege of representing you in the seat of Ramsay to put the North back on the map, by resorting it to its former glory.
I would like to meet as many of you as possible over the next few weeks, and I look forward to hearing your concerns and suggestions for our community.

WHY WOULD YOU REWARD “MARK ALDRIDGE” WITH YOUR PRECIOUS VOTE?
My history in the political arena has changed over the years, my views change with my education and will continue to educate myself by working at the grass roots level of activism.
I seek to promote Unity, Respect and a Compassionate approach to a well overdue change in direction for my electorate, my state and my nation.
I first ran for the senate with my wife Helen back near 18 years ago, and a few times since, over the past decade I have tried to set a good example, getting out there and achieving the change I believe we need, rather than simple words, I have put my money and time into protecting the best interests of my community.
FARMING;
I believe in an Australia that enjoys self sufficiency in its food production.
I have stood up for our farmers for over a 15 years, having met with most if not all sectors of primary production, I have held and led rallies for producers, grape growers and their water entitlements for over 15 years, and fought in the political arena and the courts for their best interests.
I have worked to expose water issues with the media, held protests in relation to the actions of the grocery giants; I have set up numerous markets, and helped others with my own time and money to ensure avenues for producer’s to get a fair price for their product, which now feed over 20,000 South Australians. In Enfield, Parafield, Salisbury, Lights-view and Gawler.
I am presently in the courts, full bench of the Supreme Court, fighting for the rights of Farmers markets and community events and fund raisers in general, so I do not back down on important issues as an individual. So I would not back down as an elected representative.
Here are a few links to my markets.

Salisbury Market; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMiMEEVZrXk
HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED;
I believe parliament and the representatives you elect, should be protecting your best interests, so I try to set a good example.
I do what I can to help the community, during fires and other disasters I am on the ground and shut my business until everything that can be done is. I help raise money for those in need, to fund critical needs of the disabled and to support for those animal carers in sanctuary's and shelters.
I traveled to QLD during the floods with emergency supplies, I was on the ground during the Sampson flat fires, raising and delivering hundreds of tonnes of supplies and did the same during the Pinery fires.
I also work on fund raisers for a variety of important causes all year every year, and enjoy every moment of it.
here are a few links to TV coverage of what I have achieved in recent times;
ANIMAL WELFARE;
I believe in the Australian community and believe you can judge a society on how it treats its animals.
My wife and I own a native animal sanctuary “Willow wood sanctuary” where we rescue and rehabilitate native animals.
I have been spokesperson for a major shelter, and have held rallies, I run special events like, “Voices of the Animals” annual awareness day, which raises awareness and moneys for a majority of local rescue organisations, and I have spoken at most animal related rallies to raise awareness and funding for grass roots animal rescue.
I have traveled all over the country during natural disasters to support local carers, sanctuary’s and shelters, and have raised hundreds of tonnes of feed and delivered it immediately to those affected by local disasters, including the QLD floods, the Victorian fires, the Humbug scrub fires and the recent Pinery fires.
During the Humbug scrub fires with the help of supporters I was able to send in 40 fully loaded 4x4’s with trailers every day, going door to door to ensure every affect person and animal we could reach had everything they needed.
I have attended most recent animal welfare raids, animal abuse cases both here and in WA, to ensure I maintain a healthy understanding of animal welfare law, and to protect innocent carers from unfair prosecutions. I worked tirelessly and successfully to bring about a full inquiry in WA into the award of and use of awarded powers under the Act, with great success.
I have spoken at rallies in several states on BSL, unwarranted culling, including the shark cull, animal welfare law, puppy farm reform and native rescue.
Here is a link to show some of my work with Moorook Shelter in the Riverland
OUR CHILDREN;
Like many, I believe our children are our future, so I have worked with a variety of groups to address short falls in child protection and disability funding.
A topic of major concern to all parents, I have worked with a variety of organisations regarding child welfare, held rallies to raise shortfalls in services for the disabled and worked actively on child protection issues, from the Mulligan inquiry to Family's SA and state care accountability.
I am the current public officer for SCAAT (Stop Child Abuse Australia Team), and work with many stakeholders in relation to all child protection issues and I am a regular speaker at public events.
I also work overseas helping raise funding and awareness regarding shortfalls in services for vulnerable children in Asia.
I am also concerned at the lack of punishment for those found guilty of child abuse at any level, the need to improve mandatory reporting and the introduction of schemes like the "Safe Schools program" which overrides parental rights and genuine safe guards for vulnerable young aged children.
Here is a link to one of my rallies from many years ago, so yes I have been in the fight most of my life.
AFFORDABLE JUSTICE;
Legislation in recent times has been deliberately undermining our common law rights and with that the ability for the public to defend their innocence.
Justice is rarely seen or heard under the current judicial system, those that can defend their innocence and succeed are usually still left out of pocket in one way or another, while the majority simply cannot afford to even defend pleas of innocence.
The legislature continue to make matters worse by enforcing laws, before we even know they exist, this is exaggerated by bluff and misinformation, where those unaware of their rights or the basics of law, are manipulated by prosecutors that can so easily be drop the charges if scrutiny is applied, again leaving the innocent out of pocket.
Our basic common law rights to innocent until proven guilty, the right to remain silent, the right to face ones accuser, trial by jury and even equity are constantly being removed by Parliament, which is unacceptable, I have and will continue to be a loud voice for the reforms needed to restore justice.
I am not simply pointing ou problems, I fight to change them, I have fought in the courts for over 20 years for accountability, supporting those in need and finding competent representation to those being unfairly prosecuted, and will continue to do so.
I have fought in the Court of disputed returns (Supreme court) for our voting rights on many occasions (self represented) I have fought in the environment and development court (district court) for community events and farmers type markets, I have fought in the courts for animal welfare issues and in the Magistrates courts on a variety of community based reform.
RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES;
Australians enjoy very few rights, a few implied rights, and very few people understand what rights they actually have, this needs to change.
For some 20 years I have worked to expose a legislative agenda that is watering down our most basic and fundamental rights and civil liberties.
I have spoken all over the country on the need for reforms and have pushed for a constitutional bill of rights, completing my own version for future debate.
Each year I travel to Canberra to meet with like-minded people and the aboriginal leaders, where we have an annual rally to demand a bill of rights and restore self determination
Australians deserve a constitutional bill of rights, written by the people for the people, and for those rights to be taught to our children. A constitutional bill of rights would over ride decades of bad laws that ought not have ever been written.
ORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS.
Our soverign people, do not want your money, or your land, what they do want is the right to self determination and equity before the law.
I have worked with a variety of sovereign people and aboriginal leaders for over a decade, meeting yearly in Canberra to work on the best pathway towards their self-determination as a sovereign people.
I have worded a treaty based on the handover of the land held by the common wealth in the queen’s name, to help fund their future needs and services to secure self-determination of their people.
With their help and education, I have a firm grasp on the reality of their past treatment which I believe can be used to heal the division created by consecutive governments and the greedy self-interest of the corporate sector.
I would like to see seats created in every parliament for aboriginal leaders chosen by their people to ensure they have a say in each parliament.
VOTING REFORM;
Democracy is the corner stone of society, Demos-cratos, the people rule. Parliament should be made up of representatives chosen by the free will of an informed electorate.
I have rallied for massive reform with in our electoral system to empower the people’s right to a genuine free and informed vote.
I have argued self-represented in the courts (court of disputed returns) to expose corrupt practices which have entrenched themselves in our democratic process.
In 2010 I expose massive issues with the conduct of elections, inconsistencies with the electoral rolls, and the major parties abuse of our trust, having the government put on notice by the chief justice. I believe secure and equitable democratic practice is the only thing that will lead to a united community that can secure a genuine voice of the people when any debate is held in OUR parliament.
Here is a link to an expose from 2012
WATER;
Access to water had always been given right, well so we thought. Over the past 20 years, our government’s refusal to ensure supply kept up with demand, forced them to try and turn water into a commodity, affecting primary production and local industry.
I have worked with investigators and TV exposes to show clearly the many issues revolving around water, from illegal access, missing government sites and promises, to the deterioration of our underground supplies.
MARKETS & HEALTHY EATING;
Access to fresh affordable local produce is one of the most important issues facing our future.
I have set up several local produce Markets, I support many and run several of my own called “Farm Direct community markets” which show case fine Australian produce and value added goods.
These markets allow access to many thousands of South Australians to fresh affordable Australian produce, and I also use them as a tool to promote investment in local farmers and producers, teach health eating and create an atmosphere that promotes community activity.
CORRUPTION;
Corruption has many faces, self-interest, control & the search for power, corruption can only flourish when we remain silent through fear, and when those in power can manipulate the truth.
OUR CONSTITUTION
Our constitution was created through the debate by genuine representatives of the people, it fails only because those that drafted it, could never have imagined the very people that ought to protect it, would be the ones that would undermine it.
The best way to overcome this is to attach to the constitution a bill of rights, to clarify and define it and bring its protections into the 21 century, then teach those defined rights to our children as a part of the national curriculum.
Every Australian deserves to know what their rights are and have them upheld.
BANKING AND FINANCE
REVENUE RAISING
Revenue raising is when a government use laws to raise money rather than protect our best interests, an example would be when they remove registrations labels, forget to send our registration reminders then fine thousands of people for unintentionally forgetting to pay their registration.
When police are asked to achieve certain fine quota’s, rather than police, or when you are charged a levy that is not used for its intended purpose.
HEMP
I am well studied on the many applications of Hemp and Marijuana in a modern society and the various ways the plant can be utilized via a huge range of applications, from industrial applications to proven medical and food based uses.
I have spoken at and held rallies for over a decade demanding the public’s right to open and transparent debate.
South Australia should have been leading the way in the application of hemp for industrial and food applications and in the use of marijuana for medical applications.
VETERANS
I have always thanked our veterans; men of spirit and courage who risked live and limb to protect our freedoms and liberties. In 2007 I was honored to represent several sections of the veteran community and speak on their behalf.
Since that day, I have taken up their fight to both protect and restore our freedoms, consecutive governments have made a mockery of their sacrifice, not only by way of abandoning support services for them, but even more so by undermining those very rights and freedoms our veterans sacrificed to prote
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Having grown up in a housing trust area, I know all too well, the benefits of secure and affordable housing, and have studied those who fought to provide for these services in the past.
The State Labors party’s undermining and sell off, of our housing trust homes, and the awarding of contracts to NGO has been a step in the wrong direction in this state and has undermined the great work of people like Thomas Playford.
I fully intend to work on the restoration of housing trust services and expand the concept to ensure our children have access to affordable and secure housing.
ENVIRONMENT
We only have one planet and one time to act, and that time is now.
Self interest in big industry deliberately undermines the initiatives needed to embrace sustainable practices, mass power storage ideals to ensure green energy can power our future are left by the way side in favor of an unbalanced financial driven agenda.
Habitat restoration, deforestation, clean water initiatives and even our oceans are under attack by the self-interest. Even the hard fought protections already in place are being ignored and overridden by our current federal government, I will be a voice of reason and will expose at every opportunity future attacks on our environment while lobbying for innovation and increased investment.
LAW AND ORDER
I first put up my hand in the political arena, because of the demise of genuine community safety, as we move forward as a nation and state, policing has become more about entrapping the innocent rather than addressing short falls in community safety and justice.
I have held rallies and spoken at many over the past 14 years in relation to the many reforms that are needed to bring back affordable justice and genuine accountability to law and order in our state, including the restoration of accountability with in our police services.
THE DISABILITY SECTOR
Having been the father of a child with disability, I have always had a strong voice for reforms in the sector; I have met with government and the opposition, service suppliers and the education sector to ensure I can maintain a balanced approach, to lobby for increased funding and services in an educated and equitable manner.
I worked with the Late Paul Collier on the massive 2010 “Care for Kids” rally and continue to lobby for reforms. I will again be working on a follow up rally to try and convince our supposed representatives of the need for increased funding and resources for our most vulnerable.
Until I can install change, I work to help the needy, fix and supply wheel chairs, walkers and help find support services.
MOTORING INDUSTRY
I have been involved in the motor trade most of my life, I have a strong and educated position on the many issues facing the Industry, from inequity in engineering standards, to the removal of the protections registration labels provided.
I am an honest car wholesaler of over 20 years, I hand build performance, classic cars and bikes for show and performance applications, doing my own paint, panel and mechanics.
SMALL BUSINESS;
The very reason I started in politics, the survival of small business is reliant on fair and equitable policy, taxation and support services, having been self-employed for most of my working life.
I feel there is a severe lack of government support, and the government are using the small business community as a cash cow, forgetting “we are the nation’s largest employer” and respecting that fact.
FISHING AND LIFESTYLE;
From working with legal professionals to rid our waters of the Super Trawler, to studying worldwide quotas and their applications for fishing in Australian waters and truth in applied quotas.
I am an experienced sporting shooter and a proud member of the Para branch target shooting club, and promote responsible firearms policy.
AUSTRALIAN MADE
Australians can grow, design, invent and built anything they put their minds to, yet our governments agenda is now global, rather than local.
I run markets to support our farmers and address the rising cost of living, promoting investment in Australian produce and value added goods, with a strong emphasis on healthy eating.
I ran as an Independent candidate for several years, my support continued to increase resulting in a 17% primary vote in Labors safest SA seat, and over 4% in the federal seat of Wakefield.
I have had to now chose between running as a candidate with just words, or getting out and making an immediate difference, and I have chosen the later.
I will continue my work in Animal welfare, helping people in need and fighting to support our farmers and producers through expansion of my "Farm Direct" Markets.
The election process has become totally unacceptable, with missing ballots and dodgy practices becoming the norm, and my fight to expose and reform the system has failed.
Even my simple campaign to use a pen, resulted in the South Australian electoral commission running a massive campaign "The power of the Pencil" so the fight for honest democracy is bigger than me as one person, and even though I had excellent support with my endeavors, it simply was not enough, so I am abandoning the political system altogether.
When tens of thousands of missing votes grows to near 100,000, in SA alone, our vote has lost all its power.
The only way to change and protect our nation, is genuine people power, so consider joining me in the grass roots actions that will get the job done, and leave political mediocrity to its own demise.

ANIMAL WELFARE
I own, run and self-fund Willow Wood native animal sanctuary; I have represented several animal welfare groups and shelters over the past 5 years including Moorook Animal Shelter. I have held, spoken at and been MC at various awareness rallies and carried out animal rescue for many years.
I have offered legal support and advisory services to many animal rescuers, travelling all over the country with the aim of improving services and legislation across the board. I am also currently the companion animal spokesperson for the Australian Alliance animal welfare division.
FARMERS AND PRODUCERS
I have traveled to most of South Australia’s country regions meeting with farmers and producers, from fruit and vegetable, livestock and dairy farmers. I started advocating for reforms to the Industry in 2002, and have spoken at and held many rallies in support of our primary production industry.
I have fought hard for reforms relating to the grocery industry monopoly and product labeling issues, going as far as setting up “Farm Direct” community markets throughout the suburb’s to ensure the survival of many of our local growers and producers. These markets are now one of the largest in the state, and I donate my time and money to setting them up, handling marketing, management and expansion.
I advocate for many groups including our farmers, Riverland growers, plains producers and have stood for over a decade to stop the sale of our primary production land, power plants and water supplies which I believe are strategic assets that should be kept in Australian ownership.
CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Since 1999 I have fought in the courts, held rallies and lobbied for improved and defined rights, from demanding democratic reforms to the introduction of a bill of rights for every Australian.
Most recent actions include the Australia day “Bill of rights national rallies” as MC in Canberra to taking the state election of 2010 into the courts to expose and correct dodgy practices, with the intent to empower your right to a free and informed vote and a variety of law reform initiatives.
I am well studied on all aspects of law, human rights declarations, our constitution and indigenous treaty’s.
FISHING AND LIFESTYLE
From working with legal professionals to rid our waters of the Super Trawler, to studying worldwide quotas and their applications for fishing in Australian waters and truth in applied quotas.
I am an experienced sporting shooter and a proud member of the Para branch target shooting club, and promote responsible firearms policy.
SMALL BUSINESS
The very reason I started in politics, the survival of small business is reliant on fair and equitable policy, taxation and support services, having been self-employed for most of my working life.

I have held rallies and spoken at many over the past 14 years in relation to the many reforms that are needed to bring back affordable justice and genuine accountability to law and order in our state, including the restoration of accountability with in our police services.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM
Our founding document for which I have studied for many years remained ignorant on many issues including aboriginal sovereignty and racial discrimination; the writers also took the liberty of expecting our common law rights to take up the many short falls lacking in our founding document.
I can only assume the writers of our constitution never expected self-interest by government and their corporate sponsors would see our common laws rights eroded by the very people we elect to protect them, leading me to call for a constitutional “Bill of rights” to take us into the next century.
BILL OF RIGHTS
Our forefathers sacrificed life and limb to protect our rights and freedoms, never expecting that our government would legislate our protections away, so it is time now to refine and define exactly what our rights are, and how they will protect our children.
We are the last western nation to define our rights, and protect them for future generations, so open and transparent debate must start now, we must demand a constitutional bill of rights so our liberties can then be taught to our children and theirs.
ENVIRONMENT
We only have one planet and one time to act, and that time is now.
Self interest in big industry deliberately undermines the initiatives needed to embrace sustainable practices, mass power storage ideals to ensure green energy can power our future are left by the way side in favor of an unbalanced financial driven agenda.
Habitat restoration, deforestation, clean water initiatives and even our oceans are under attack by the self-interest. Even the hard fought protections already in place are being ignored and overridden by our current federal government, I will be a voice of reason and will expose at every opportunity future attacks on our environment while lobbying for innovation and increased investment.
ABORIGINAL RIGHTS
While Australian law continues to ignore the true fact that our original inhabitants existed before white settlement, and the ideal of a treaty that provides the ability of the aboriginal people to their own self-determination is of the agenda, we will remain a divided nation.
I have met with many of the Aboriginal elders and the Canberra tent embassy, and I hope to use what I have learned during my journey to overcome these difficulties with the genuine hope of a united future between original and settled Australians.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Having grown up in a housing trust area, I know all too well, the benefits of secure and affordable housing, and have studied those who fought to provide for these services in the past.
The State Labors party’s undermining and sell off, of our housing trust homes, and the awarding of contracts to NGO has been a step in the wrong direction in this state and has undermined the great work of people like Thomas Playford.

Since that day, I have taken up their fight to both protect and restore our freedoms, consecutive governments have made a mockery of their sacrifice, not only by way of abandoning support services for them, but even more so by undermining those very rights and freedoms our veterans sacrificed to protect.
PENSIONERS
The cost of living is undermining the living standards for those who deserve better, the only way forward is to regain control of our essential services and provide them at cost to all Australians, and to ensure our pensioners and veterans are receiving a fair percentage of the medium wage.
EMPLOYMENT
Genuine employment is achieved through innovation, hard work with the protection of our best interests by our chosen representatives.
It is easy to see the approach at both state and federal level is a disaster for this country, their approach is to bail out failing companies and cover-up genuine unemployment rates, the fact is very simple, free trade is killing this country, so until we again embrace protectionism, unemployment will continue to sky-rocket.
CHILDREN
Our future is with our children, they need to have access to a high standard of education, adequate health services and deserve to grow up with a strong understanding of their rights and liberties.
Our most vulnerable in regards to those with disabilities are cast aside and struggle to even gain access to the most important of services, not one child in this country should languish on a critical waiting list, the term itself “Critical” is unacceptable.
I have held rallies and spoken at many protests, as well as lobbied the government for years demanding the abolishment of critical waiting lists and to improve services across the board, only to watch the issues increase, with your support, I will be a very strong voice for our children.
THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES FACING US AS A STATE AND NATION, I will do all in my power to educate, expose the truth and fight for your best interests, I believe the truth will set us free, and will use it to pave the way forwards beyond the term between elections to ensure we embrace the genuine issues affecting our long term future.
VOTING THE SAME WAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME, SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK, EMBRACE CHANGE, GIVE ME A CHANCE, AND LET ME CONTINUE TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE
PLEASE CLICK ON LINKS TO LATEST ARTICLES
I will be all over the country during January and February 2104 speaking on our rights and liberties. Representing people in need, and doing all I can to lead by example.
I will be opening more "Farm Direct" markets, and going to Canberra to demand a bill of rights, my version is up for debate on this site.
Up and coming rallies include the demand for a bill of rights in Canberra 26/1/14, there will be corresponding rally's at every parliament house in each state. Click here for details
"Our Care for Kids" rally will also be on in Adelaide again this year on the 22nd of February 2014 at parliament house. Please watch the video of the last rally I helped organize in 2010 by clicking here
I am an experienced candidate with over 15 years of lobbying for reforms and legislative change to empower the rights and liberties of all Australians.
I seek your support not based on my promises, but on my performance, so please take the time to have a browse over my site or give me a call any-time, 82847482 / 0403379500
I stand up for what I believe, I lead by example and I simply get the job done, with your support, I will be able to achieve even more. Sadly there are now many lobby groups and media organisations who use a variety of deceitful practices to coheres your vote. On top of this elections themselves have become very undemocratic, leaving the electors with a very hard task to cast a truly free and informed vote, so thank you for taking the time to do your research.
Every poll, every lobby group, most of the media and the electoral system will promote 2 party preferred ie; Labor or Liberal, and the 2 party system is leading us down a path, the same path which ever party wins, if you would like to see that path change, I believe you have to abandon the 2 party system, because "Change is Necessary" for our nations long term future.
DOT POINTS OF MY IDEALS BELOW
Farm Direct markets; I have fought for too many years to ensure our nation can remain self sufficient in fresh food production, only to see political mediocracy and self interest in the grocery industry slowly destroy Australia's hard working producers on a daily basis. Imported produce which is substandard and unhealthy is taking up primary position in both Cole's and Woolworth's shelving and even when we promote buying Australian, dodgy labeling undermines even that approach, so I have now opened my own "Farm Direct' Markets to give our producers and small businesses a place to deal direct with the community. I work hard, donating my time every week to run, expand and promote Farm Direct, and battle the red tape that has closed so many of my first markets. My main market is at Parafield every Wednesday and Saturday, Gawler Sunday with more to come. If elected I will work with councils to expand across the state, and use my voice to call for reforms to support the creation of an export market and to improve checks and balances to cover the grocery giants, labeling issues and shelving allocation. Dont vote for Aust. with out farms
Animal Welfare; Community expectations in regards to animal welfare are not being met by existing legislation. Live export, low to no kill ideals in Animal Shelters, even Rescue groups and Sanctuaries are not being supported in an appropriate manner. As the owner of a Native Wildlife sanctuary, and experienced in animal rights and wildlife rescue, you can be assured I will be a strong voice for genuine animal welfare reforms and improved government funded support services. I will be working with the Australian Alliance to start a national animal welfare campaign in February 2014.
“You can judge a society on how it treats its animals”
Human and Civil Rights; Our constitutional rights like our common law protections are being watered down in favour of government self preservation. It will be a long road to recovery; and this, I believe, is best achieved by the inclusion of a bill of rights within our constitution, which is retrospective on current legislation. A bill of rights must also become a part of the national curriculum to ensure our children grow up knowing their rights and liberties. I will be speaking at a national protest to demand a bill of rights in Canberra on the 26th of January 2014.
“To protect, improve and define the rights of all Australians.”
Our fresh food future; Sustainability in the food sector is of national importance and being able to sustain 100% of Australia’s requirements is paramount; I back either the application of government subsidies to match those enjoyed by foreign imports or restrictions on competing imports (Tariff protections). Australia grows some of the best produce in the world. I have spent many years supporting our farmers and growers, and recently set up and running “Farm Direct” markets, promoting buying local, and opposing undue influence in the retail grocery industry.
“Australia should not allow the sale of our farms and strategic assets to foreign investment”
Accepting responsibility; Australians are a fantastic people, but in recent years we have adopted the ideal of blaming others, Parliament indeed have let the Australian public down, but we still hold the all the power. Demanding improved labelling, supporting local produce and backing up small business can all be achieved by ensuring every cent we spend ends up in the right pockets. While we are being forced to endure political mediocracy, it is time to stand up for our nation’s best interests, and that starts with every one of us, always ask“Is it Australian?”demand local fresh produce and always question where your money ends up.
Empowering your vote; our right to a free and informed vote is diminished by the ideal of forced preferential voting and a lack of adequate information. Election conduct has become dodgy to say the least, our electoral rolls are inaccurate and identity and general security is lack lustre.
Our ailing 2 party system is the direct result of allowing those that have the most to gain from structural biases to write electoral laws and be involved in the conduct of the electoral process.
I stand for an overhaul of the entire electoral system that empowers the people’s free and informed choice and protects the integrity of the voting system, the counting of ballots and to ensure the most preferred is chosen, and that they can freely represent their electorate’s best interests.
“I am the only candidate fighting for your right to a genuine free and informed vote”
GetUp Australia will be playing games with democracy on behalf of Labor and the Greens once again Click Here
Australia’s sovereignty; Australia has the ability to stand alone and lead, we do not need to be dictated to by any foreign body. Our forefathers risked life and limb to protect our Nation’s best interests, our freedoms, our liberty, and indeed our Australian way of life, so we must choose who we support wisely in every aspect of our lives. Where our money is spent, the level of social services and the cost of essential services are dependent on our political will.
2013 referendum to recognize local councils; Our constitution was created by open and honest debate, by representatives that has our nations best interests at heart, the looming referendum is being sold by those who do not hold those same values let alone allowing any equitable debate, please read my LATEST ARTICLE
How to vote; website will be updated to assist "securing your vote" soon click here
Electoral reforms, to empower free and informed voting, abolishment of full preferential voting, improved services, increased security and complete up to date electoral rolls.
Stop the sale of our land, farms, water and vital infrastructure to foreign investment.
The regulation of our grocery industry, to ensure genuine competition and consumer protection.
Increase financial assistance to rebuild the farming industry to make Australia’s food bowl one of the world’s major food exporters.
Improved product labelling and shelving allocation including place of origin.
An overhaul of the animal welfare laws, and support services.
Equity in taxation between local and offshore based industry.
Protection of our aquifers and the increased adoption of storm water harvesting as a national recharge system.
The relief of cost of living pressures through lowering staple food costs, cheaper access to potable water and energy regulation and innovation.
The introduction of a national buy back scheme with government guaranteed low interest rates to restore Aussie farms and infrastructure, back into Australian ownership.
Fight to reduce local red-tape by the abolishment of payroll and land tax, to stimulate the economy, as well as reigning in council bi-laws.
Lobby for a “Bill of rights” which would be debated in public hearings then be attached by referendum to our constitution. The bill of rights must override all government legislation and must become a part of the national curriculum.
Increased investment in the disability and mental health sector, in education, carer services and support, the abolition of all critical waiting lists. The introduction of NIDS and further investment in social inclusion programs are essential.
To demand reform to our court system to bring back affordability and equity, with a strong public consultation process in regards to the family courts.
WorkCover reforms with in management, board positions and contracts to improve services and the cost affects on small business.
A more compassionate and equitable approach to border security and immigration, which takes in the best interests of the applicants and that of the Australian people and their way of life.
Tackle the increased lack of internet security including on line gambling and social networking accountability.
The restoration of registration labels.
Address the shortfalls in funding to our pensioners and veterans to bring them back into line with the cost of living and ensure future increases keep up with CPI.
The 2013 federal election will be one of the DODGIEST ELECTIONS in our nations history, click here to see why, and ask why the South Australian media are remaining silent on the biggest changes to electoral Law since federation
HERE COMES THE 2014 SA STATE ELECTION on the 15th of MARCH, I will as usual not be favoured by most of the media, because they will be busy promoting the leaders chosen by our political parties.
So any money or time I invest will be to lead by example, because the words of politicians are rarely kept, so best I let my past history and my present actions speak for themselves, currently I am working on farm direct markets to support the farmers and local community's, Wildlife rescues and Moorook animal shelter along with exposes on deficient legislation and electoral conduct.
I say "Put our money in the right pockets" while we wait in hope of genuine political leadership, rather than pass the buck, let we the people lead by example, by asking "Is it Australian" when ever we part with our hard earned money.
I will continue this year to expose as much truth as possible, to support those in need and to lead by example, click on a topic of interest and read my current position, and please your feed back is very important, as it is you I wish to represent.
Democracy is my passion, and your right to vote in a free and informed manner is of the utmost importance. I have battled in the courts for over 12 years, only to see our rights and liberties on this front diminish, and both Labor and Liberal just passed even more laws to empower themselves, at the detriment of we the people, please support me, so I can empower you! articles 1 2 3 click on a number.
My new farm direct markets across the state are to empower and protect local farmers and growers, and allow we the people access to local fresh produce at affordable prices
MARK ALDRIDGE INDEPENDENT FEDERAL CANDIDATE FOR WAKEFIELD
I have tried for years to embarrass both state and federal governments to address the rising costs of living, for which they say is out of their hands, this graph begs to differ, we can buy back utility's and again supply the services at cost, and we can also demand at both state and federal levels, that they keep their hands out of our pockets. Selling everything the public owned for short term gain, is not sustainable or ethical practice.
I hope sincerely that we the people can stand up in support of those in need, rather than expecting the victims to cry for help, it is past time we stood for something
VIDEO and TV EXPOSE'S ON THIS PAGE
PROUD ALLIANCE SUPPORTER
My name is Mark Aldridge, If chosen by the people to represent, that is exactly what I promise to do, and I am well studied to do so, I am here to represent you, not a political party and have over a decade hands on study and community activism up my sleeve, and I know the right people to call on most issues of community concern.
This site contains articles from the past few years, I have many dating back to the late 1990.’s but we have come a long way since then, most of the time on the wrong path.
For the past 8 years or so, I have openly offered to debate the government on any issue of their preference; needless to say it is accepted very rarely, simply because most of our representatives read from party policy, rather than straight from their hearts and local knowledge.
I recently ran for the seat of Ramsay, stepping back from the federal arena, and although I came second to Labor in their safest seat, the election offered nothing like a level playing field, and with some 30% of the votes missing from the count, it is hard to say when democracy last served us well.
"After the 2010 state election my actions uncovered many thousands of missing ballot papers and even more issues including tens of thousands of names missing of the electoral rolls"
A simple Google of my name and any topic close to your heart, will show you part of my journey on the education front, I am well studied on Carbon trading, Democracy & voting, common and constitutional law, Environmental
protection, water, power generation, Hemp in the industrial application and a range of issues that all urgently need to be addressed in an open and transparent manner.
I have held awareness rallies on a range of topics including Disability, law and order, support for our farmers and producers, Water, Equity in taxation and even to expose dodgy election conduct, yes that was me.
I have been fighting for such a long time, yet in the most all I have witnessed is the continual erosion of our way of life and our future prospects, the only fear I have now, is not what bad people do, or what self interest destroys, but more so, the fear the people will never stand up and say ”that’s enough”.
Divide and Conquer is still a powerful tool, for instance most of our countries most important issues are accompanied by spin and deceit, making a mockery of the ideal of open and transparent government, and allowing for misinformation to divide a nation, rather than unite us on the most important issues.
More taxes, levies excises, laws, rules, fines, duties, red tape and Attacks on our rights and Liberty’s rather than actions in their defence, is not just sloppy governance, it is out right incompetence and abuse of power, and in no way is deserving of the label of honourable.
Give me a call any-time or drop me an email if you would like to know where I stand on any issue, and I am available to speak on topics I am well versed in.
Please browse the site or the net, and regardless of what you think of me, cast only an informed vote, and fight for true freedom of choice, and democracy will be served in the true sense of the word.

Thank you to the people of Ramsay
The Ramsay bi-election was always going to be a hard slog, trying to win the support of the whole Ramsay community, when most would have not have even known I was running, the $1000 I had saved to take on the $150,000 plus spent by Labor, was always going to make it hard to ensure you all knew who I was and what I stand for, yet thousands of you supported me.
I am very proud of the some 18 people from the local community who supported me on election day, we did very well, considering Labor had over 200 paid supporters, and media support all the way through, in fact most media articles covered only the Labor candidate.
Many good people came into support me, and several local business people helped me fund the replacement posters, when most of mine were stolen, which was very humbling, and with the media in general only covering the Labor candidate, I found myself walking the streets in which I grew up and handing out home-made flyers, it brought back so many fond memories.
My wife and I put in 18 hour days, and the reward for our hard work was fantastic, even though it appeared we had no hope of ensuring you all knew I was running, nearly 4000 of you rewarded our hard work with your precious vote! Thank you all so very much.
My fight to help my community is not over, as many will know, I have been fighting for reforms and a fair go for many years, and will continue to do my very best. I will try and work with Labor to ensure the important issues that arose from speaking with you all, are addressed, and promises made are kept.
Having been a lobbyist for over a decade, I have many connections, so still feel free to call me anytime, so I can either help you or point you in the right direction. If ever you are in trouble I will do my best to help.
I have specialised in federal and state legislation for around 15 years now, and although I have never run as a representative for my local community in the past, this experience has helped me find my niche, so expect me to be competing for your support over the next few years, I enjoy helping people, so would love to have the added resources of a member of parliament, as I could do so much more for the community who gave so much to me as a child.
I will continue to work with the local community and my mother(Gillian Aldridge) the mayor to improve local services and try and attract further investment to the area, as job security will become an increasing concern to us all.
I am still appalled that as one of the largest cities in the state, we do not even have a 24 hour police station, let alone adequate police services, so I will spend my spare time lobbying for the change needed to bring back community safety to the level I enjoyed as a child.
I have made a habit of holding our politicians to account for many years now, as many would already know, and exposing short falls in many government organisations, like the Family Court, Family’s SA, Work cover, disability & aged care services, mental health funding to name only a few, has not earned me many Labor friends in parliament, that said, I do have many people from a variety of organisations who respect my hard work, so I do have the right contacts to be able to support my community.
The media’s obsession with the two party system has resulted in very little coverage of what they describe as minor players in the political arena, and community based candidates like myself fall into that category, so if you would like to know what I am up to, keep an eye on my website or Face book pages.
Unlike your representatives of the past, I run to represent my community not a political party.
The advice given to me over the past few weeks, is to dress up, change my appearance, and stop pissing of the media and the government, sorry one and all, I have no intention of changing who I am, I only want your future vote if you support what I do, not how I look, if you chose who you vote for on performance, I am worthy, if you chose based on spin, I am not your man, in any event, I will support you regardless.
I love helping people, I love animals and my Native wildlife sanctuary, I have the best wife in the world, and great parents, I am a Motoring enthusiast both cars and bikes, I am a successful business man, and use my profits to help those in need, my wife and I are staunch environmentalist’s, I have an educated position on most aspects of our governance, but if you can present a case to change my mind, I am open to change.
For the Animal lovers here is a link to my QLD flood run to help the devastated sanctuaries and the RSPCA photos https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150107336279124.297185.583394123&type=3
"COWARDICE asks the question : " Is it safe ?" EXPEDIENCY asks the question : "Is it politic?" VANITY asks the question : " Is it popular?" But, CONSCIENCE asks the question : "Is it right?" An there comes a time when someone must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is RIGHT." ~Martin Luther King Jr.
I live by such statements of great men, and prove that by my actions, and I swear to continue to put every thing on the line, to ensure my children enjoy all the freedoms and liberties, my Country provided me, I do rather than spin.
I am not a one topic candidate as my past clearly exposes, but MY PRIMARY GOAL is to ensure the people of this fine state and country, have the rights and resources to cast a free and informed vote, with out structural biases and out right deceit and electoral fraud. see my detailed site on How to vote and ideals for electoral reform www.howtovoteinsa.net

n 2010 the State election resulted in many thousands of South Australians missing out on a vote, and very little had the opportunity to cast an informed vote, THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. Over 77,000 missed out on casting a vote, over 16,500 ballot papers are missing, dodgy practices ran rife, dodgy postal applications exceeded 6,500, Labor even dressed up as another party, do you remember that? they even registered the liberal leaders name as a reply paid address to intercept others mail and numerous issues to be found in several articles on this site.

My wife and I first ran for federal politics in 2000/01
since then my wife has taken over running 50% of the businesses and the Sanctuary, and I do the other 50% of the work and study, write and speak on a variety of rights based and political matters.
I have written and spoken on a variety of social issues including Disability and mental health funding, Democracy and electoral reform, freedom of speech and access to information, Multiculturalism, Carbon Tax, Country Australia, Water and alternate power, Taxation, Small business and a variety of children based issues and of course environmental issues just to name a few.
In 2010 I tried to raise awareness of funding and service short falls for the disability and mental health sector, in particular “Children in Need” with the Help of the late Dr. Paul Collier, and for all the hard work and the importance of the message, “NO MEDIA ATTENDED” [please watch]

I have studied current and passed legislation, and battled in the courts for reform, self represented, including the dodgy 2010 SA State election, and supporting local people and common law issues where possible.

DARE TO DREAM
Imagine another election, same candidates, no blank boxes on the ballot papers, every house hold receives a booklet which explains how to vote, who the local candidates are, and what they stand for, we only attend to vote if we are inspired to do so, and only have to vote for those we prefer.
Now that is the free will of an informed electorate!
The people demand honest information, so the media start to cover the local candidates in both houses, the electoral commission decides to enforce electoral law, supplying how to vote information and voting tickets in the polling booths as prescribed.
Election posters, and those giving out how to vote cards, do so honestly, adhering to the law, and we are finally given better security than "Paper and pencil", polls became honest allowing every candidates inclusion, and only the electoral commission issues postal vote applications and ballots.

THE 2010 MARCH ELECTION EXPOSED OVER 77,000 NAMES MISSING OF THE ELECTORAL ROLL 17,500 MISSING POSTAL VOTES, 6,500 POSTAL APPLICATIONS WERE DODGY, SOME DECLARED INSTITUTIONS LIKE NURSING HOMES AND HOSPITALS WERE DENIED SERVICE, PEOPLE DENIED BALLOT PAPERS, ISSUES WITH THE MULTIPLE VOTING, AND EVEN UNDERHANDED TACTICS FROM THE CURRENT LABOR PARTY, IMPERSONATING ANOTHER PARTY, SENDING POSTAL VOTE APPLICATIONS WITH RETURN ADDRESS TO THEIR OFFICE RATHER THAN THE COMMISSION, EVEN GOING AS FAR AS REGISTERING THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITIONS NAME ISOBEL REDMOND UNDER THEIR REPLY PAID ADDRESS TO INTERCEPT ELECTORS INFORMATION, DEMOCRACY DESERVES MORE, AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE MUST BE HELD TO ACCOUNT
MY IDEALS IN BRIEF
Water and the Murray River, the major parties have it all wrong, our water comes from a variety of sources, the river is over allocated, but buying back water entitlements will only have an adverse affect on produce, so we must take action to improve flows via ideals like those of Professor Endersbee (search and see) piping excess water to the river, our Aquifers are in even worse condition, but out of sight out of mind, and storm water recycling could water proof our state on its own, (have a chat with Colin Pitman) in every case we need representatives whose ideal of long term future, is a greater vision than the term between elections. See more
Do any of us truly believe that great infrastructure projects like the Snowy river scheme would have become reality with either of political parties we have endured over the past 20 years?
Human and Civil rights, we in Australia have no enforceable rights, so a bill of rights is essential, and all recent legislation must be changed to comply.
ICAC, essential to every state in Australia, presently parliament and our police services do not face any independent scrutiny, we regularly hear of corruption where the perpetrators face little or no punishment, with police officers suspended with full pay, no where near an adequate deterrent, the Mulligan report found over 100 child deaths of a suspicious nature in government care, yet no action has been taken, not good enough. see more
Climate Change, the climate has always changed, and clearing land, pursuing huge population growth and the emission of pollutants does not help in terms of our long term environmental future, but to blame Co2 or introduce a huge new tax, is not the answer, rewarding self reliance and initiatives in green power production would be a more educated approach.
While big Oil and the motor industry have such power over our Government, the advances we could already be enjoying, will be slow in coming, taking power away from the 2 party system, would give back more control of our environmental future to we the people.
Democracy, “If change be necessary it must be by the free will of an informed electorate” we can not continue to be forced to preference all the candidates while at the same time being denied access to whom they are, either we are provided with equitable details of all our choices, or we are awarded optional preferential voting, we need an independent body to both create electoral reform and police the election process. Dodgy how to vote slips, misleading advertising and Identity theft of candidates is a disgrace, missing postal ballots, fraudulent counting, false promise and a raft of undemocratic actions, must be stopped and those responsible brought to account.
Disability and Mental Health, http://weekly-times-messenger.whereilive.com.au/your-news/story/has-sa-forgotton-these-children2/ funding is in some cases more than 50% behind the needs of those we can easily call our most vulnerable, our very own children languish on critical waiting lists, while unessential infrastructure receives all the election pledges, proven advances in early intervention and stigma reduction, all very successful overseas, can not be seen by out political parties whose vision is blurred by self interest (winning elections) I have stood up and spoken on many occasions, holding awareness rallies and the like, and yet nothing has changed. This situation is nothing but appalling and a Number 1 priority compared to the need for improved stadiums and broadband speeds.
Taxation, our complicated 500 page plus tax system is both archaic and lacks any concept of equity, my views are to abolish the whole thing and start again, leaving payroll out of the equation, the concept of an electronic debits tax, from my research seems to hold all the answers. Until such vision can be achieved, I would lower the tax-free threshold as found in my Taxation pages, so as to help support lower income families and small business. Funding of this simple but effective change would be by way of the abolishment of government subsidies, which are nothing more than telling us how to spend our over paid tax dollars, any change must ensure equity for all Businesses operating in Australia, while we are at it, we should abolish the Menzies double tax Act. if you make money here, bloody pay your tax here.
Immigration, time to sit back and reflect here, population growth is not the answer to all our woes, in fact it is the exact opposite, the world must have a limit, as to what that is I do not know, while we are stifling food production, avoiding an increase in potable water supplies, health care services and the like, best we play catch up with our essential infrastructure as our number one priority. I am a compassionate man, and believe we have the ability to help those in need, but not at the expense of every Australians futures, with over 100,000 Aussies living on the streets, and our elderly having trouble making ends meet, we must lower immigration, and in doing so consider only those based on their honest needs and with a history of being capable and willing to integrate into our Australian way of life.
Power Production, “use less and pay more” not the catch cry of leaders with vision, if we increase population, we must increase base load power, as much as I crave green energy as base load power production, it has yet to become a reality, which ever party wins the 2010 Federal election, they will go down the path of Nuclear, I would like to ensure if this has to occur, we embrace the safest and most advanced designs, but again that will take vision, so the latest and safest high temp pebble bed reactors and spent fuel recycling like Alvis and Simplex will not be on the agenda. I propose our own nuclear Industry, to ensure if Nuclear is on the agenda, we lead the way rather than follow
Community safety, now on this matter I am a dreamer, as a child I felt safe on the streets, erecting a tent in the front yard, for sleep overs, and I demand my children and theirs the same safe community, our police services are being used for state revenue raising rather than servicing local communities, an ever increasing range of new laws are doing nothing more than invading our personal lives, and this problem is increasing also because we the people are not pulling our weight, it is our job to ensure our children are safe. Police numbers need to be increased to keep up with community expectations, revenue raising must be separated from police services, and we in the community must take some bloody responsibility for our children’s safety.
Equality, Gay, Greek, Australian, Aboriginal, Male, Female, even Aliens, division is caused by inequality, each and every person in our country regardless of colour or creed, the same laws and support services should apply, very simple.
Investment, Australia is not for sale, our water, farms, land, railways, ports and mining, none of it, it belongs to the people and the country, and any that has been sold, should be brought back into Australian ownership
Education, The education system is becoming overwhelmed by both political correctness and government intervention, those most in need of extra support services are falling between the cracks, becoming a long term financial liability to the country, our education system is under resourced, under staffed and under prioritised. It is past time our teachers were employed to teacher rather than given the job of bringing up our children, they must be given the freedom to pursue appropriate punishments with out fear of reprisal, to ensure adequate education and have the resources to educate those with special needs
Infrastructure, Underground water infrastructure in many cities is over 120 years old, power stations are ageing and in need of replacement, with their boilers running on desalinated water to extend their use by dates, storm water and sewerage is antiquated and in need of up grading, yet not even false promise for our future, grand ideals of underground access tunnels to cover future storm water harvesting, broad band up grades and shared resources are not even on the agenda.
Live Music V’s Pokies, phase them out by the lowering of the maximum bet until it is that low, no more good people are loosing their lively hood, I will fight for the re-introduction of local live entertainment as an avenue to entice people back into pubs, outside smoking areas will be retained as a freedom of choice, and the price of a glass of beer, should be capped for the next 5 years as should cigarettes, as they have endured inequitable tax increases.
Animal Rights, Every sentient being has the same right to quality of life, including our livestock, as the owner of a Native Sanctuary I will demand no less than increased accountability and associated penalties for animal abuse of any form.
Country representation, Regional areas of Australia are not receiving their share of the infrastructure or health care funding, yet many regional areas are responsible for a greater share of the countries productivity, equity in funding for regional areas is there fore paramount.

Forget the one policy Independents, I stand for increased disability and mental health funding, ICAC, equity before the law, your freedoms, rights and liberty’s in general, taxation reform, increases in heath care and hospital staffing levels, on-line gambling reform, reduction of Pokies in favor of live entertainment, increased animal protections, environmental and native animal habitat restoration, WorkCover reform and overhaul of Families SA, Adequate redress for Forgotten Australians, equity in regional infrastructure funding, increased support for carers of SA, increased education grants and support services for children with disabilities, electoral reform to ensure the FREE will of an informed electorate is paramount, Accountability in government, increased protections of our natural water supplies, long term vision in regards to our underground infrastructure, enforce public scrutiny of any future proposed legislation, investigate sovereignty issues, scrutinize mining leases and foreign ownership, new and used vehicle sales licensing and consumer protection reform, the support of Adelaide Motorplex, improved road safety over revenue raising, renovation of our roads and public transport services, I have studied all of the above and some, and will continue to improve my understanding of all aspects of our long term governance.
