Fantastic George, thank you for articulating the core of our country’s woes. I hope that I have enough years to see this cesspool replaced with responsible leadership.
As you say George, the ritual of Parliament House is rotten. I saw and heard too much when working there, mainly in the 90s. The job of National Party Whip might have been ok for you, I don’t know, but I remember seeing and hearing an incident of a National Party Whip discussing or more to the point negotiating with another major party whip, what sounded like deciding the Bills to appear on the Notice Paper. This made me think the outcomes of Parliament affecting all Australians came down to the degree of how strong or how weak are the persons in these whips positions. A weak whip would just let the other side run the country with no fight, nor say, nor accountability.
Thank you, George. Just so you know, the points you make are all valid. Unfortunately, Dorothy needs a mention, seeing as she has been part of question time for as long as I have been the other person listening or watching for many years. On the positive side, it seems to me the LNP approached the last election on a principle we need to lose this rather than cop the pain coming in, not too soon in the higher interest rate and a danger of losing our AAA+ credit rating because of the ALP.
Keep speaking up George through your written communications because we need the politicians in that building on the hill in Canberra to get the messages you are making. Your criticisms apply to the State and Territory politicians as well.
All but a small number of the politicians are an insult to the Australian people. The arrogance, hypocricy and the shamless way they treat the Australian people is too shocking. They, particularly Labor have no care for the Australian people or our country at all. They are the great pretenders.
Everything is all about them - individuals in the Labor Party.
To colleen, I agree to everything you said except that Laborites are great pretenders. Albanese is not a pretender, he is a user. Using the Australian political system to his advantage and the political system is too wrapped up in its own importance to see that it is a liability, not an asset. The few politicians who want to improve Australian politics are outnumbered by those who want to sit on their backsides and crow. Albanese is not a political advantage to Australia. Albanese is a liability giving access to millions of overseas people to enter Australia, regardless of where they come from or if they have trade qualifications or an education which guarantees them employment. Politicians get rid of the Labor party and its reliance on immigrants votes to keep Labor in power. Wake up and join the real world. Is there any law that says that you have to do what the party wants? Get it changed. Australia and Australian politics are at stake
The very basis of our democratic systems are flawed. Until we shift from an us vs them divisive style of decision making to a cooperative fusion of perspectives aimed at creating what benefits us all then we are doomed to fail. We’ve tried benevolent dictators. That fails. We’ve tried our tiny majority wins system and that fails too because there’s always an almost majority disgruntled. Underneath all this is the elite. Pulling all the strings. The entrenched unelected rulers constantly manipulating for their ends. We need a major paradigm shift in order to really lift our lives out of struggle. Imagine our representatives sitting together as wise individuals using their intelligence to find what will be of most benefit to us all rather than pull each other down to push one narrow agenda. I pray that in time as the oligarchs power continues to be undermined we can eventually reach a state of awareness where our higher selves. Our innate wisdom. Can guide us all. We all contain the seed of connection to Spirit. The creative intelligence. Through prayer/meditation and a direct appeal to the source for guidance nothing is insurmountable and a loving way can evolve where all of creation is treated with the reverence it was born from.
Any time I ever watched parliament in action, which wasn’t often, I thought it was like a school debating society and who could throw the most insults. It insulted the mind to watch it.
Sadly, I am wondering whether the push towards AI/transhumanism has already begun in the chambers of government. Perhaps one of the first places in our culture where it would be hard to pick the difference! (no offence to those that do standout like Senators Babet, Roberts, Antic and a few others)

Edit: My memory of the whips I mentioned may not be quite accurate as one of those people in discussion could have been a government (or opposition) assistant minister knowledgeable about Bills to appear on the Notice Paper.
Well said. The place is rotten to its core.

Dear people of Australia and Dear George ,the traitors are very aware of our disgust and the fact we are voting against them !
They ARE replacing lost voters with mass immigration Mass immigration fir new voters nothing more than that ,
Thank you George for not being weak and compromised.
Billy Graham said, “courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened”.
Watching to see how the Lord directs your path. Many, including me, will follow. God bless

Well said George. You have Godly principles and courage. God bless you for telling it as it is.
Thank you George, disgusting news about our countries parliament, I would believe it has been so for a very long time.
Is it time to stop paying these performers.

With the exception of a few, they all disgust me.
PS Please email me George. I have a query from someone who tried to subscribe, and has trouble following these things up herself.
I don't vote for the vision or against the alternative anymore. I just don't vote.
