Foxy,
They all have enough intelligence to pass multiple choice questions to pass through University.
They don't have sufficient intelligence to grasp the need for common sense.
I mean, paying those who produce nothing, more than those who do, is not very intelligent.
Until we get a Govt packed with ministers who show the bureaudroids the door, not much will improve.

idyvidual,

We have a mixture of politicians in parliament - some are
party hacks, seat-warmers, out for what they can get. However
we also have those who enter politics to make a difference.
By their actions we eventually get to know them.
They are the ones we need to keep on electing.

Of course many voters used to just vote for the party (like a
football club). But the last federal election gave us hope -
people paid attention - and decided to not reward a party
that did nothing. Lets hope that this trend continues.

Voters are beginning to expect more from their politicians.

Foxy, I know little to nothing.....

I'll second that shadowminister.

Voters are beginning to expect more from their politicians.
Foxy,
That's meaningless unless it goes both ways ! That's the really tough part !

indyvidual,

That's not meaningless - as the last federal election showed.
It's the voters who have to be won over or the politicians
lose their jobs and get kicked out - as many have done.

as the last federal election showed.
Foxy,
changing Govt for the sake of changing Govt is the easy part, changing the mentality of selfish voters is harder.
Read today that the racist bleating industry costs us $100 million/day, you think that's true ?
The remote communities probably get a pittance of that, the rest is for bureaudroids of all complexions !
