Mate, get a grip. The last time the Labour Party was interested in the Worker was about 3 days after it came into existence. Same as the Libs, the Democrats, the Greens, and everyone else. It's a job, and they all suck up to the group they reckon will give them a job for the next 3 or 4 years. They care about you as much as I care about, say, underwater basket weaving. Or maybe even less.
Period.
We'd be better off in the freakin' jungle, at least then you'd KNOW the next guy you saw wanted to eat you.
It's a dangerous assumption to suggest most fishos are battlers. My Father and Brother? Both Lawyers. Me? Successful Businessman. All mad keen fishos. One of my best fisho mates could buy and sell me about 20 times - he caught 23 Marlin 2 Summers ago. No Blues though, and he's working on that...
The trick with Politics is to look through the rhetoric and have a think about
what is possible. The current mob amazed me with their promises. The only thing that amazed me more was how many people believed them!!!
And please don't get me wrong, I thing the last crowd was pretty awful, but I think we have gone from bad to worse. IMHO of course!
