Tony Abbott as PM….sigh.
The conservatives in power again…sigh.
Visionary NBN project scrapped…sigh.
Money taken out of public education…sigh.
Money taken out of public hospitals…sigh.
Cuts to services…sigh.
It is disspiriting to hear people talk about politics sometimes. Often times the focus isn’t on what ideas parties have rather on the personalities they have.
I would say more column inches are devoted to Abbott and his exercise routine than to Abbott and his ideas for reducing costs of living pressures on families.
More time is spent on the airwaves talking about debates (the number of them, the format of them, if the leaders will take part, where will they be held) then about the vision either leader has for the country.
I think that is sad….because it makes people disengage from the political process.
And we get the situation we have today…the highest number of informal votes since 1984.
