hello again
Have just śpgraded', and need to post.
Too bad Australia is so backward. In too many respects our conservatism is holding us back.
Strange really, when we consider the basis of the white Australia, which constitutes a huge mass of descendants of the unwanted from the British Empire, and then Europe and then Asia.
All those thieves and rebels, and we end up with the likes of Abbott and Costello..
and their ilk..
being voted into office.
(Happy they are now GONE)
..but the essential political conservatism of Australian politics remains.
It is really a reflection of the 'inner cringe' Aussies seem to bear, the vague but persistent inadequacy we feel, which causes us, in turn, to act outrageously, both at home and when o/s.
We have a government which is responsible for massive abuse to innocents and the disadvantaged, both here and in the concentration camps to which our conservative 'betters' have consigned too too many
innocents.
The sheer horror is hidden from us due to Laws enacted by these, our leaders.!! Absolutely despicable, and I can't imagine the sort of self-interest which our pollies possess to enable such foulness, and still hold up their heads in the world community. It can only be an excess of ego, hubris, and greed.
They'll do anything to stay in power, and they drag us all down to the gutter with them.
It horrifies me that I am a citizen of such a place.
Shame shame.
