The ravages of riches and rich parties

There is something really wrong with Australia in 2007 when we ( incl media here) don't even, with tokens at election time , acknowledge the real threats to our prosperity . When we ALL ( except someone like barnaby joyce yesterday ) are happy to play up to the illusion that "we have all we need" . In such a closed comfort zone mood the parties are able to ply us , not with their passion, but with more and better gifts .

I hunger for the politics of passion. Someone who knows what is wrong and has a mind to fix it .There 's lots wrong with how they spend our money , but few that have a mind to fix it ( except with a bigger hammer)
I see little evidence of competent economia focus on any side . Even the greens now ,it seems, have lost there way . Labor captures the libs territory and the greens as well. Changing territory though, has its price in cosmic and care level credibility.

One party can only capture the territory of another, when that party have lost the passion for it . Passion keeps the lead agency ahead and now its gone from the heartlands, the territory mentions on both sides are tokenistic and tame .

Rudd's education incentive is welcome, but fails to address the problem of dumbing down. Mind you, with a bit of luck a new labour policy of professional and public focus could stumble into their backdoor .

Years of libs meddling with fanciful visions of trickle down theory have never seen so little trickle down.
I , like many Austrailans, like Rudd, but would I put Labor in power? The old labor PM 's "stood "their yesterday - a sickening spectacle of blunt reactionary distraction . Their arrogance is offensive . I don't like any one of them . Home wreckers --wouldn't trust any of them to do anything properly .
Perhaps arrogance goes with the job, cause the Libs have had there fair share of fast moving fad driven plagerists. They are not as obviuos though.

I hope people vote for FF and the independants FIRST ( there i think some risk of that esp in the country) ---Not because they have yet the competence, but because they care - cause we need the minor parties to do , as Steve has done with all his ammendmnets in last few years " to GIVE ATTENTION TO PRAXIS and the detail .

And they do it " at their own expense". Just think, all that mail you recieved from polys in the last few weeks ----you paid for .
In that way he and FF can help keep the bastards ( the devil is in the detail ) honest " . Not much time though to get the momentum esp when the tax take is so good and there is the attraction of showtime and sweet talk.
