Are we still Australia?

Just received this email from a mate.
I think his exasperation is shared by many!

"What an appalling situation when our government , driven by electoral weightings in the western suburbs , say no to

sending a vessel to assist our allies in the Red Sea. I am embarrassed !!

We have become a woke filled, confused island with no moral compass. The decline has been generational & ably assisted

by a left wing teacher’s union & useless bureaucrats . The corporate world has also been complicit in this decline due to

the absence of leadership, with frightened bed wetters [ MBA in hand ] solely focussed on their bonuses & share holdings.

To wit .. one A Joyce.

Here I am in communist Vietnam surrounded by the celebration of Christmas . Decorations everywhere , Carols playing

in the background wherever I go. In Australia … too hard basket. It is also a vibrant, energetic country with an exciting future.

Recommissioning their nuclear plant after trying to make wind & solar work. Well educated population where parents value

education.

Off my soap box now, thanks to all for your highly valued friendship throughout the year."
