The past ten odd years have seen us go from a prosperous go forward nation, to one that is on its knees and the blame lays fair and square on our governments.

From insulation, to school halls and all the other train wrecks of the Rud/Gillard/Rud debacle, to the current useless mob that has delivered us a third world communications network in the NBN, likened to a six lane highway turning into a gravel road, to an apparent second in charge, till he fell on his sword, that cant keep his D... in his pants.

My question is, who the hell is running this place and how long do we, the 'financiers' for these clowns have to put up with what can only be described as third class politicians.

About all they have managed is to house immigrants in favour of residents, with many of them not even being invited here.

Is it just me, or is this just a complete joke. A joke with no answers as the alternative are just as useless.

You are certainly not the only one who feels that way. I have to hark back to my pet hate - mass immigration - to say what I think should happen. Our useless politicians are often said to be 'electing' themselves a new bunch of voters with immigration. We need to elect ourselves a new bunch of politicians, and the only way that this will happen is for candidates for office to presents themselves to the electorate - and be chosen by the electorate to stand - and do away with this corrupt business of parties and power brokers handing out safe seats to party hacks and political staffers.

Here's a somewhat different perspective.

Foxy, do you actually believe that? We avoided recession only because of injecting hundreds of billions into stimulus, money we did not have. Let's face it, we could all live like kings if we borrowed from our neighbours and never paid it back. He also mentioned 'controlled immigration', who on earth is he trying to kid. You obviously as I also recall you fell for both the NBN plan and Swans famous 'we will deliver surplus at any cost' crap. I have nothing against you Foxy and in fact see your inner beauty at times, but seriously, you need to get out and about because what you are being fed, and what is actually happening are world apart. Small retail in on its knees, yet to government a small business is one that turns over less than ten million. Pretty much says it all. Our modern day pollies are completely out of touch with reality.

Dear rehctub,

I'll try to do better and find you some other links
that you might find more acceptable.

Hi Foxy.

You might have to hold your nose, & go to JoNova & Watts Up With That, if you want to get to the truth, & some reasonably accurate information.
