Yes. We elect three dictatorships.

“Australian democracy no longer serves its citizens as it claims to do”.

What democracy? Does anyone seriously believe “democracy” exists in Australia? Particularly now, with the Albanese nightmare.

“Equality” is a load of nonsense, and has nothing to do with the Australian political class, which actually creates inequality, with antisemitism, multiculturalism, the creation of tribes to be treated differently, and the deliberate replacement of the population, its culture and its values.

Electors “choose the candidates”. No they do not. The candidates Australians are forced to vote for - or be fined - are chosen by unknown people behind closed doors.

You have to get to the top of the second page for something to agree with - Australia is run by slippery characters in the corridors of parliament in Canberra.

There's nothing to be seen in Australia of ‘for the people, by the people’.

Voters’ might try to “influence the government” with “.... letters, by signing petitions, attending protests…. “, etc; but very few of them, post Covid brutality and Socialist censorship, and to no avail.

We continue to be fooled by the ‘fatherly’ advice and myth that Australia is ‘the best country in the world’ - most recently uttered by the Coalition's great white hope, the Liberal Party's hasbeen, Tony Abbott.

I agree with this author's point of view, but using the word “democracy” when talking about modern Australia is an insult, and wrong. What he is actually saying, that aware Australians already know, is the country is no longer a democracy.

And, he is naive if he thinks that the average Australian has what it takes to regain democracy.
