It’s a matter of perspective

I rarely quote others in this blog but this pearler from Gerard Minack on Australian federal politics is worth repeating:

“One of the few areas of bipartisanship we’ve had over the past dozen years is both parties have agreed to be short term and second rate!”

And yet the progressives (Labor) attempted to introduce major new policies in their last minority government. Odd.

And the current Coalition government seemed intent on removing all these Labor policies or at least re-branding them. They haven’t been too successful in introducing any of their own.

Without control of both houses and in the era of total opposition how can any party be anything other than short term and second rate?
