I find it tiresome and embarrassing that this is what my fellow Ozzies keep discussing - instead of building a nation

no bloody wonder why Oz is in the doo doo it's in
no bloody wonder why Oz is an also ran as opposed to being a global leader

when we discuss such insignificant trivialities - in the place of discussing ideas and concepts for forging a nation or even for looking after the people of the nation

99% of it is infantile political point scoring in pointing at the other mob and saying ---------- 'look at that' 'bad person'

it's no wonder why someone like Abbott got power - because he was a destroyer - and a good one. But, it's easy to have destroyers -

it's bloody easy to demolish a building - you just get a big hammer

it's a vastly different kettle of fish to build something - and to build it well and something that will last.

Firstly of course, you have to know why you are building it - what it's to be used for and why it will help to drive your nation or family forward

instead - all Ozzies seem to discuss are the neighbours or the person in the other town
