One thing I've really noticed about the current political situation here in Aus is that neither of the 2 big parties like to put policy out there. It seems that when they do, it's never very detailed and then the opposition (Whichever didn't put the policy out there) just rip into them like children in a school yard trying to antagonise. Why can't we just have a proper discussion about some of these things and try and meet some sort of compromise that works for everyone, so that at least something gets done?
I know this is perhaps a little naive to think that our politicians can actually be grown ups and work together but it would certainly help the country to move ahead! Reality is that this should happen though! The squabbling in the house and on TV needs to stop. If you don't agree with a policy, explain why and what you would do differently. Just saying it's wrong and crap and that the Blah Blah Blah has know idea is bloody pointless! Explain why and give me something to mull over? Maybe the other guys might listen and god forbid actually take on board some of what you have suggested. Sure it was your idea and you want credit for it but if you're in politics for yourself, then bugger off. You're not helping the country by being in it for yourself!I started following Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott on twitter the other day. Not a lot to follow really though! I'm as interesting as them when I look at it ;-).
Anyway, that's my wee rant for today!
