Is Mise true, but do not hold your breath waiting for things to change.
Some times I feel we are walking a track some one has set out for humanity and if we knew we would rebel
Answers to over population hunger and bitter wars based on differences in faith surely a group named United Nations could fix.
Just maybe they are too busy marking out that trail for us, so when dictatorship comes some will call it peace.

Dear Belly,

For things to change - and "she'll be right, mate,"
to happen we need enormous changes. I don't really
see that happening any time soon. Here we have a
Prime Minister who has campaigned in the past to
give the banks a tax cut, cut billions from schools,
cut millions from local hospitals, cut penalty rates
and the pension, advocated raising the pension age to
70 and voted against the Banking Royal Commission 26
times.

Therefore do we have a desirable PM? A Pentecostal PM
who fingered coal in Parliament, opposed gay marriage,
demeaned those on welfare as the "taxed nots," called for
Australia's withdrawal from the Refugee Convention,
incited a riot on Manus Island which resulted in the
death of Reza Barati, falsely claimed Save the Children
staff coached asylum seekers to self-harm on Nauru,
papered over the bullying allegations inside his own
party ... and the list goes on.

Then on the other side of the coin - it takes a special
kind of cringe worthy mediocrity to be less popular than
the Coalition mob and a uniquely limp brand of leadership to
be less desirable then them.

Hopefully, things will start to change prior to the elections.
But I wouldn't hold my breadth. Neither major party is looking
too great at the moment.

Foxy my bias may be showing, if so it has completely taken over my mind.
But I can not see how failing the aged, selling our education system to profiteers, cuts to health, a host of issues while donating near half a billion dollars to a private company to look after the barrier reef,can see this government returned.
I have faith, if elected Bill Shorten, after much new legislation is passed, will be at least for a while both a good and popular PM.
I fear ,as it was last time, Labor will enter government just before a global financial crisis, that, again, will see voters blame us
she will be right was always wrong, it was an excuse to do nothing

Dear Belly,

I have no doubt that the Liberal Party will lose
the next election. However, I'm not too fond
of Bill Shorten. I admit I am biased as far as he's
concerned. We shall have to wait and see what really
drives that man and what policies he has to offer.

Foxy once you would get hero worship from me at the mention of his name, to be quite honest until he got the leadership, Mark Latham would have too.
Latham lost me weeks in to his leadership, he was the invention of my party desperate to find a good and great man, they found the opposite, I woke up to him long before.
Simon Crean, loved his dad, put him in Latham's bucket, Bill, this is the time my party demands I retreat,put that filthy foul rug they call solidarity [truly only a tool to force us not to have opinions]
Over my head and stay silent.
Bill is not the man I knew, his party is brilliant, the team I think is going to some times carry us to great heights
Foxy in time a leader as great as Bill once was will come, Bill leads a great team, we will be well served

Dear Belly,

Thank You for being so fair and honest.

We need a strong government who cares about this
country and all of its people - I think that
today most Australians are going to be looking very
carefully at what's being promised. I'm not wanting
to judge anyone too harshly at this stage - the
next months will hopefully show us the choices that
we have.
