I will engage you just to be polite.
Polite? While for the first time since WW2 an entire generation of
average wage earners has been shut out of home ownership.
Quote:I do consider alternative systems of government.
I believe that the system currently in Australia is one of the best.
However the political parties and independents completely ignore its framework and guidelines and they have created this halfwit version of the Winchester system of government.
That is the
Westminster system - which is also failing (in the UK) to ensure the benefits of the nation's economy are available for all.
Quote:So many examples of there complete contemp of the Australian constitution and corruption too long to list.
You persist in blaming pollies for the failure to ensure the benefits of the nation's economy are available for all.
Feel free to identify the "corruption" which eg has made home ownership increasingly out of reach for the under-35 generation.
Quote:They are now i believe squirming and lying because the gig is up.the population has simply and finally had enough.
You "believe" - yet blaming politicians for a dysfunctional financial system is an easy buck-passing exercise.
Quote:As much as our politicians crow at dawn how lucky we are we have them and that they can easily earn more money outside politics they know better and are scared to return to private life .
Yes, pollies take advantage of the current dysfunctional system because they can.
Quote:I give credit too the duopoly party , usually career criminals don't last for decades in government.
The career criminals are usually caught out eventually, while most pollies aren't corrupt.
Quote:I also don't believe Pauline Hanson One Natinon is a solution to the grappling decline of Australia living standards
OK - she certainly hasn't explained how she intends to ensure/fund higher living standards for Oz 'battlers' (as she claims she will) ...
Quote:and i certainty don't believe your views to reform the country economy is worth the beer coaster you wrote your manifesto on the back of.
OK - you don't believe my views (re public money?) deserve consideration; so you are content to blame pollies for a dysfunctional economic system, rather than examine the system itself.
A bit like the mayor of Marseilles who today claimed (French) people protesting against cost-of-livng pressures and failure of government to deliver essential services are "criminals who should be locked up"....without stopping to think France doesn't have the prisons to lockup thousands of protestors of all ages...
Deplorable.
