It's not easy to do governing. Alright, companies can do it but they have experts, right?

'Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says his Government is attempting to be “overprepared for what may come”, flagging that, unlike the COVID response, any response to the war in Iran would be national.
One of the lessons of the COVID pandemic is that we made a number of decisions as a nation that could have been made better.'

Fuel, fertiliser, ships, stock-piles. They need governance but it's a bit much to ask from elected office holders just trying to earn salary. And no housing and hospital shortage. It's all too hard.

And government bureaucrats have no expertise in anything. Got it. All those lefty bureaucrats that change with the change of government.

Ah "meant to be" but not "don't exist" and not "we don't listen to bureaucrats"

I don’t believe that it’s terribly difficult to govern.

Australia is an incredibly gifted nation of nature’s wealth.

We have a function democracy ( with a few marks on it, hello run rebellion, Dan Andrew’s government and  Kristina Marie Kerscher Keneally as bad as the rum rebellion state government) that functions adequately.
We have a workable constitution which allows individual rights as well as powers to protect the  country as a whole.

Unfortunately, our current political leaders over the last several decades have sought to not only destroy and  deny the legitimacy of our Constitution and its provisions but eagerly work against it.

As an example I don’t believe we require another public servant  (Anthea Harris was appointed as Australia's National Fuel Coordinator in March 2026 to lead a new Fuel Supply Taskforce within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet )!appointed on half a million dollars  pa  plus travel expenses to discover what is wrong with  the Australian fuel supply.

Not only were these matters discussed long ago and intelligent plans resolved and written instructions agreed to  and provided but it’s  all simply  since been  ignored -

“ The International Energy Agency (IEA) requires member nations to hold oil stocks equivalent to at least 90 days of the previous year's net imports to ensure supply security. While many countries comply, Australia has failed to meet this obligation since 2012.”

“ AI

We don’t need more intelligent people in government. Far from it. We only require more people with the ability to read and do as instructed.

That simple human quality is not available in our current coup of mismanagement.

yes. So why do Labor find it so difficult?

It is also exactly opposite you OP.

Dear Lee,
Satire is a genre of literature, performing arts, and visual media that uses humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize human vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings. While often entertaining, its greater purpose is usually constructive social criticism, aiming to shame individuals, corporations, or society into improvement.

so you ask me to google your questions, misread my comments and ask what is the satire.

hard work with you lee

Well - that precludes any responsibility here in Oz.

Here we have government not only unresponsive to its constituents, but also unresponsive to its responsibilities as written down.

Look at it this way, son... remember the story of George Washington and his father's cherry tree that George cut down?  Now in that situation George would say - "I cannot tell a lie, dad - I cut that cherry tree down!"

Now in politics here and today George (Albo) would say - "I cannot tell a lie, dad!  That cherry tree committed suicide by axe!"

Relate that to our current fuel 'crisis' -and the endless lies about it, all dedicated to keeping the peasants off balance and ripe for the plucking by their overlords...

He just gets the Media like the ABC grifters to do it for him.

And even when the baddies are named as in Robodebt, it's just too much fuss to hold anyone to account. She'll be right.
