Are our Governments actions determined by a World Government?

I can't help but wonder lately about many decisions being made by our government, for example, boat people ( the involvement of the UN ) monetary policies and the economy etc.,
It would seem to me that more and more global events are being managed by an unknown source? I recall reading somewhere recently about a World Government being in place, but I'm not sure if this is correct or if it is something we should all be wary of. Many things that affect our country and Government seem to be decided by other parties such as the UN.
We hear on the news reports of globilisation in trade etc., which in my opinion is not a level playing field, but that's not for me to judge, and it makes me wonder what is going on in the world today. We all know that the world is consumed by greed, and power by the larger nations such as the US, and emerging powers such as China and India, and from what I can see, none of it has any benefit to the ordinary person in our country. Can someone enlighten me?

Question: Are our governments actions determined by a world government?
Answer: No, our governments actions are determined by multinational corporations!

couldn't agree more. More and more on the news of late there are mentions of varios thing the UN is saying about different things, like refugee's etc., and it seems that because the Australian Government in it's so called wisdom, sign all these ratifications etc., for various global issues, we are then bound to obey the ruling of the UN. Isn't it time the governemtns of all countires decided NOT to sign such papers?? Global trade is another worry, and it now appears or has been the case for many years now, that we in Australia import more overseas food products than we need to - shouldn't we follow the examples of some of the eastern block countires, like Russia for example and stop importing foodstuffs that we produce in our ouwn country? Sigh, it really is a sorry state of affairs in my opinion.

Hi Proteus,
Sorry that I took so long to respond but I was away for a while and got behind with my correspondence.
While I don't believe that governments necessarily produce orderly administration, may I suggest that the near chaos in the economies of the world provides fair evidence of the absence of world government. The Eurozone, which is proceeding towards a European government, is having problems dealing with the Greek debt and its arrangements would be totally incapable of dealing with similar problems if they arose in larger euro nations. Concurrently the US, while having difficulty dealing with its debt problems, is attempting to apply pressure on China for not allowing its currency to float.. Having so many countries experiencing debt difficulties of various sorts is good evidence that monetary policy is not governed by some all powerful world government.
It is true that the IMF, which might be considered to be an agent of any world government, has had a role in the resolution of Eurozone difficulties but it has had a lesser impact than the regional European Central Bank.

HI Keith, thanks for the input.
I really can't supply any evidence to support my theory, but I do believe that the UN and all the rulings they make in regards to many things, including global trade, the global economy etc., that we as a nation are obliged to follow their wishes because we signed a ratification paper saying we agreed to whatever it might be the UN or it's member nations wanted. Perhaps the illegal migrant issue was a bad choice, but I'm sure there are many examples or what I'm trying to find out.
I do recall reading somewhere in the not too distant past about this issue, but I cannot find the article again to refresh myself.
I agree that Australia has become the worlds quarry, be it for the good or otherwise, I'm not sure.
My main point was to see what others thought as in if there is such a thing as a world government or not. Many things that are happening in the world seem to point in that direction in my opinion. Global trade, the rights of and the money spent on illegals, the global economy, where we seem to be importing way too much of our foodstuffs from other countries, when we grow and export much of owr own. Apples from NZ comes to mind at the moment. I don't know if this has anything to do with the UN, possibly not, and I'm sure there are other global things that are affected by some ruling or anoter and the ratification of the same by member nations. I will certainly be doing a bit more research and will post my findings when I can.

You don't provide much evidence for the existence of a world government Proteus. Australia, through its government, has chosen to join the United Nations and to adopt many of that body's policies. It didn't have to - note the recent problems with outsourcing asylum seekers arising because Malaysia was not a party to the relevant UN agreement on the treatment of refugees.
While most governments in the world proclaim a commitment to free trade, while raising tariff barriers for the protection of some of their industrial oragricultural products, globalisation should result in products being manufactured or grown in the places best suited to that production and sold on theworld market at lower prices to the benefit of all. It may be unfortunate that Australia seems best suited to be the world's quarry but, so long as the income received from selling minerals is spread through the community, via the taxation system, that should not be an insurmountable obstacle.

Hi Proteus, you certainly are thinking along the same lines as me. The decisions that are being made not just by our incompedent government but like you say other powerful governments with no real benefit to the ordinary people. There is definitely an "upper class"" who seem to be so consumed by their own greed they are leaving the struggling millions without the basics of life. Just look at the big bankers around the world. They have created a world with debt that has never been seen before and are not made accountable. Our government has all the money in the world to give away and yet nothing to our own people. Look at the amount of money that is being dished out in so called aid. The people who need the aid are often the last to get any of it. The Prime Minister and her henchmen are so unprepared to hold office and are not governing but politicing with every action taken. Most of the decisions made are not benefitting the average population. This government seems to bendover backwards to foreign governments, dont seem to have the backbone to stand up for our rights. The asylum seeker situation is a prime example of Australia having to do what it is told by the UN. The sad thing is that the mistakes and waste that has gone on, particularly in the last few years, will not be changed and the next few generations will have a big struggle on their hands.
