By Peter Bowden, published 1/6/2022The cause of the massive defeat of the Liberal Party at the recent election was indubitably the deep-seated dislike for Scott Morrison.

First of all, thanks for watching my linked video.
The reason why I posted what I did wasn't specifically to bring attention so much to conspiracy theories.
- Maybe I got a little bit carried away.
When I read Peter's article the though that came to mind was the simple idea of 'Change the people = Change the Government'
Simple cause and effect.
That aside we're moving towards being ruled by foreign treaty as opposed to deciding our own future.
Alarm bells always start ringing for me whenever the government is bi-partisan.
Just recently our government was willing to hand total control for pandemic preparedness over to the WHO.
None of us were consulted about what we want.
Luckily Tedros didn't get all the power he wanted, but they will keep pushing until they get what they want.
- And it seems to be this way on many issues.
I think the Australia people don't know what's good for them anymore.
Take Allegra Spender for example, one of the teal candidates who supports green initiatives, she's CEO of the Australian Business and Community Network and supports increased immigration to 220000 per/year, and more long term.
These people want more immigrants, but we don't have the policies in place to house more people, and the costs of building them has probably now skyrocketed, they just want to make more money, at the cost of people living in cars and in tents.
I support good policies that benefit all of us, and I'm not opposed to things that are better for the environment, but not at the cost forcing families into homelessness.
I feel like the nation has become brainwashed by feel-good ideas and has become divided, polarised and lost it's way.
Inner city trendies who sip their fancy latte coffees are making choices that leave others homeless, unable to afford the cost of living.
They're still opposed to coal, when soon we'll have rolling blackouts.
I want to see some actual good policies that benefit all of us.
- But it feels like a race to the bottom.
