Clearly, the behaviour exhibited by our Prime Minister, Leader of the
Opposition and their respective Ministers is unacceptable in any civilised,
educated or social environment. As a collective they have lost any rational
ability to debate, conciliate or create positive change. The mark of a child
learning to argue or debate is for them to attack the person when losing the
argument instead of focusing on the issue at hand. Our leaders have obviously
reverted to child-like behaviours and, to be honest, it is quite sad.
Julia the liar or Tony the misogynist is irrelevant when it comes to
running our country. In the first instance, the ground shifts in the real world
and previously correct decisions become incorrect. In the second, it is
painfully obvious that Tony is not a woman hater. Yet both sides continue to
attack the other’s moral attributes in order, I presume, to gain brownie points
from the unthinking. The media then fan the flames and the dropkick minority
sense a spotlight moment and exacerbate the personal attacks. Q&A Monday week ago was a prime example of a vocal minority out of control.
If we respected everyone and everything without rancour we would not have
this dysfunctional parliament and we would not have malcontents like Alan Jones
feeding the frenzy to those incapable of sustained rational thought.
