Our recent political leaders are too busy fighting egos, within their own parties as well as the opposition’s, to get down and make some inspired choices for the future of Australians. There’s no long term planning because of all the navel-gazing and it’s embarrassing! Australia could be a world leader with the great minds we have in this country, and the freedom to voice ideas, and yet none of this seems to float to the top, where the decisions get made.
If someone steals something they are arrested but if someone sends in troupes under dubious pretence killing thousands of civilians, ruining the lives of their own combatants why is it that they just float off to a life of ease? Shouldn’t high office hold high accountability. There must be factors that give them immunity. What are they?
People are increasingly concerned that it does not matter who you vote for, it often does not change anything. There is a crisis of satisfactory leadership throughout the world, where vested interests control things behind the scenes rather than governments, eg. Wolfgang Scheuble: ‘Elections change nothing.’
