I read the complete weekend Australian this morning [as I do every week for the quality of its journalism and longish articles] – a great balanced view from all sides. In that was listed all the good things the Lib’s achieved in SA even during a Pandemic which they handled well. Still, gone, which makes zero sense but people get what they voted for. Take Victoria for example – Andrews was responsible for the deaths of some 800 people, has been proven to lie and misuse funds and his labor executive all suffered convenient loss of memory about who ticked off on $30m to fund private security. Yet he still retains some degree of popularity whilst trying to wrongly blame Morrison for his failures. Go figure – the absolute ‘blame’ stupidity is gob smacking. Palaszczuk just this week has been shown to be somewhat loose with the facts and WA has damn near ruined its tourist hub for zero reason as covid has arrived anyway and NT leased its port to the Chinese, a move resembling insanity. Morrison has the spine of a worm destroying his elected representatives lives virtually convicting without evidence [i.e Attorney General] by demoting lest the public disagree and Albanese is seen as the worst possible choice for a person to ‘lead’ our country. Now we see female Labor senators acting like schoolyard tyrants linked to death and we watch political ‘adults’ from all sides behaving like bellicose 10 year olds. We have to deal with similar traits in Putin and Xi Ping and they are supposedly world leaders with the red button at their ‘sole’ command. They continually lie, ignore facts and threaten – in loud offensive voices. Trying to erase history is but one little example of gross stupidity and the poor little oligarchs suffer through losing their boats. A crying shame, that.
Along with a few million others, I voted for Hawke and Keating because they were right at the time and their list of ‘liberal’ achievements was and is significant as was their ability to lead and have ALL of us follow. Which brings us to today and choices.
The world is entering a new phase and we need people who can lead. There is no side of politics which is 100% up to the job therefore we need to pick from what’s available. The federal labor party is full of back biting children determined to be talking heads but without substance led by a vitriolic waste of space without an original thought other than to try and denigrate. Yet, take SA, where that behaviour worked to win but then one has to actually do something when in office. We will see. There is a litany of leadership failures headed by McMahon, Whitlam and Fraser. All sides respected Howard, Keating and Hawke over many years as they disrespected Turnbull and Rudd. Not many good guys around me thinks.
So where do we sit. We lost our best hope for an Australian PM respected around the world and by all people and all political parties. Short of convincing Julie to return we have Morrison who has lots of runs on board and proven ability to act as he did when closing the borders supported by Dutton and Friedenberg just to name 3. On the other side we have Albanese with zero runs and a team of vitriolic bumsters who only know hate speech. I think I made it clear that I am not overly fond of Morrison or Dutton or to a lesser extent in Friedenberg for various reasons but as a team taking us through what could be a change in world order, there is no choice. Liking or not liking is irrelevant, it’s respect that’s important.
Unless we get Julie to return or the ghost of Billy Graham pops in we have Morrison and his party as the ONLY choice. Anything else is just too dangerous.
So there!
