Our attitude of "She'll be right mate"
The Australian public need to demand better of their politicians.
For decades we have left it to the politicians to steer us in the supposedly right direction.
But we all known that those politicians are purely about self preservation.
Australia needs to drought proof the country by building dams which will have a twofold effect, avoiding devastating floods.
We need to go nuclear to reinvigorate our stalled re-industrialisation strategy.
Instead we have State governments more concerned about their share of the GST.
We have pork barrelling on a massive scale, we have a public that has lost faith in those directing the nation, we have a nation losing social cohesion, we have an attitude that the poor have only themselves to blame, we have policies that allow investors from overseas to evict tenants from their investment properties so to exorbitantly raise rents. We have a complicit society that allow immigrants to take precedence over locals regarding housing.

What do we, as a nation do?
We say "She'll be right mate" , everything will work out in the end.

@Gusman i did hear your politicians are screwing up and most people say they hate it but don't seem to do much about it!

@Gusman I am sick of Chris Bowen

@popmol Exactly. We re-elect those same politicians every election then complain when nothing changes.
I stopped voting for incumbents many years ago though because not enough citizens do it, nothing changes.

@Gusman i'd say keep voting for them. otherwise nothing will truly change.

@nedkelly He is someone that relies on the axiom "she'll be right"
He continues to lie or not report the truth regarding issues contained in his portfolio knowing that the will of the majority of Australian's is not strong enough to force him out.
