Do what you like people .

 Democracy doesn't work .....and what what doesn't work in a  technological society will get thrown out   
 

And the city really doesn't have to listen , It has enough people to safely say it can ignore the small voices . It can and does !  What sort of person sits where fair play stinks.

 
There is safety in many voices but at the moment  greenlabor are drunk with the power they have to do just whatever they like --OR  sorry what some twit in the margins wants .
Any one who currently sits in parliament should  resign or get reforms to the electoral act so that our children have something to believe  in . Go independents. 

We can now do the impossible

I'll leave you to fill in the details. One example , the noisemakers believe it can meet Net Zero targets when in reality  these people have absolutely no idea how to do it.  

Those of us who have advised ministers know the problem .
The person in charge doesn't know what he/ she doesn't know. ( and won't admit it , just as the people who voted for them have the same problem) 

We all know it takes a big ego  to lead, but there are times in democratic history when only the outta touch want to be elected. 
The ones who know that the job description given by the electors is impossible have better things to do. 

Amazingly,  it's the faith of the people that " the majority of people know what they are doing"  that is at the heart of the inflated expectations of this day .

Sometimes they simply don't . 
  
There was a time in recent history when parliament would actually hear the practical reality corrections from members that would make its laws work . The  good intentions of the initiator would have some hope of making sense in practice. 
Because of that possibility ( sometimes ) some of us practical economists and ecologists have spent years trying to shoot down the simplicities . 

Why aren't we no longer being listened to ?  Because the challenges  we as  society face are very complex, involve conflict , not obvious costs and consequences ; effectiveness requires the sort of coopertaion not easily obtained .
Dr Dan is leading the innovative response to this by forcing obedience. It would be good if he knew what he was doing. 

For the moment he looks like he is effectively spending our resources,   but his quick fix approach ( and the long feedback time ) means  that there will be  no long term gain from all his ever changing  pain plans .  

Daniel Andrews was and is  talking the impossible. The appeal of tackling the impossible is strong esp when you are not paying . You only have to look at their failed investments and their non existent  qualifications to promote practical use of our taxes.
