Couple of comments from today's newsletter

How many politicians are there?? Far, far too many!!

And on the mail before November 9th for Christmas parcels to UK in 1930s?? Made me smile wryly!! It now takes equally that long and often longer for parcels to and from UK. Last one I mailed took a very, very long time. So long I thought it was lost. Parcels posted from one State to another in Australia also take far too long these days. Australia Post needs to up its game a bit.
 
There are currently 151 members of the House of Representatives, Members are elected for a 3 year term and when in parliament take part in debate on proposed laws and public policy, representing the views of the people in their electorate. If this were true we would be well governed indeed and would willingly pay our taxes and contribute to the welfare of Australia. Politicians believe that they can do as they like. Christian Porter, Bronwyn Bishop et al and not be accountable. We NEED a Federal body with head and very sharp teeth to keep Canberra in order. After all it is our money they are using.

In the Westminster system isn't the Monarch and in our case the Governor General supposed to do that.. BUT.. both are now toothless tigers, so we invent other bodies to do the job, which the Govt. of the time does their best to emasculate... We're doomed I tell you lol

Hmmm @Nana P , perhaps you should be the voice of reason we need in politics!
