"conservatives are supposed to preserve and conserve traditions, but it seems to me they are exactly the opposite of that."
Meanwhile Labor is well known for it's preservation of it's own traditions..e.g.
Julia Gillard's great ethics fanfare in the lead-up to the 2007 election. "To win the next election, to regain the trust of the Australian people, we must demonstrate the highest ethical standards in how we operate.On the question of standards in government -- openness, accountability, divorcing the workings of government from the influence of peddlers and the donors -- we need to be absolutely right, not just better by comparison."
"Labor has handed out $2.2 billion in taxpayer funds to eight infrastructure projects that its own advisory body, Infrastructure Australia, has questioned as economically unviable and "not ready to proceed."
And so on and so on,predictably, ad nauseum,Labot think they have a right to claim high standards while practicing Al Capone and we'll all be happily fooled and vote them back in.
