Australia's political class is its biggest enemy. Politicians have turned the 'Luck Country' into the lost country.

Labor and the Coalition has a survival plan of mimicry on unpopular policies to ensure the electorate has no way to democratically object.

Then, along come minor parties to give us a choice. Unfortunately, not enough voters, to date, have taken advantage of the opportunity to escape the clutches of the uniparty.

Until they do, Australia will continue going down.

Of course the uniparty doesn't want a hung parliament: they don't want to give up the power they share. It's time for Australians to ignore just about everything that the 'born-to-rule' politicians say, and think for themselves. It is their lives being ruined by the status quo. And there are more options to choose from than the communistic Greens and Teals.

Tell us something we don’t know!

I’m not responsible for; I don’t vote, don’t have TV, and don’t follow MSM, or the ABC or BBC or Al Jazeera for that matter, and I don’t care, since I’m blissfully ignorant and very happy!

This crusty old Tory has little understanding of the indigenous Fijian people, and their pathway to happiness. The conceited belief that the only way to achieve the "joys of life" is to embrace western development through exploitation of people and resources. Not true!

As for his take on Australia, straight out of the Noalitions play book. And that stupid claim; "this present government have caused the collapse of over 32,000 businesses during its tenure". Really, every single business failure is down to the Labor government, none failed because of stupidity of people. There are approximately 2.6 million businesses in Australia, with over 400,000 start up's each year. Work it out for yourself.

Paul1405,
How on Earth can you expect even a competent administration to function satisfactorily with many constituents such as you ?
