''So, assuming it can't be articulated to your satisfaction (and Dutton - hypothetically - is likewise unable to answer your question)''
it's not so much to my satisfaction --------- I don't see the slightest idea of it from almost anyone - so, I'd like to hear at least a rough idea;
is that too much to ask? We have a background use for this kind of thing to justify war and we send our youth off to defend something - whilst it appears that almost no one has any idea what the hell this 'way of life' thing is
''... what would you like to see happen then?''
hmmm - well - what I would really like to see is that maybe we do start with our 'way of life' - and define it with some kind of reason and sanity -
THEN - form a direction in which we want to go to a place or situation where we want to be -
and in doing so - we could look to our 'way of life' and see what we might wish to add to it and perhaps leave a bit behind
we need to grasp that Australia - doesn't even have a motto.
there is a saying which has a hell of a lot of truth in it -
'If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail'
B Franklin
So, I'd like to know what the plan is ------ and what is this 'way of life' - and does it suit the 'plan'
