I observe that editors here had the wit to include this as well as the David Flood video, which explains why we need better, less corrupt and more visonary government.
This explains a better way to retreive government from the Big End, that could finally break the grip of vested interests in our time.
I don't exclude in my reference to poor governemt, some of the state labor governments- they are also good examples of what happens when government is expropriated from the public. We need variant contrasting voices; not further removal of ideological diversity, to thepoint when thepublic loses its collective "memory" thru lack of exercise of the cognitive faculty induced by diversity, contrasting ideas and approaches.
