Is this an alliance of the Laborites and the arch conservatives? Seems every politician in Australia is under the gun.

All the voters vote out of self interest. The public servants & unionists want more of the public largesse doled out to them, the families want middle-class welfare and baby bonuses and all sorts of free goodies like everyone else ("Ooeer, I pay my taxes, why shouldn't we get it?), everyone will happily take a tax cut, everyone wants free this and free that. Anyone ever said "nah, I don't want any of that free (borrowed or tax paid) money thanks - shame on you for trying to bribe us". And no matter how many untold billions the government dishes out, its never enough: the howls of 'inequality', 'poverty of opportunity', 'life not fair!' just intensify.

The Left keep doleing out more and more socialism, leaving the right nowhere to go except into tax cuts to keep up with the bribeathon. The bleeding hearts shed bucket loads of tears over every inequality sob story, the mega-rich refuse to pay higher taxes and continue to cream it left, right, and centre.

The whole system is a bastardisation of 2 mongrel strains: Marxism and Corporatism.

Both parties have kept going with the 'GDP growth via immigration' scam in order to keep you all in the style to which you've become accustomed. The western economies aren't competitive, everyone is too busy having fun to want any sort of belt tightening at all.

Sorry to disappoint you Crom, but we are self funded retirees, born out of sheer hard work, saving, and getting none of the handouts of the few appointed entitled lot, and never ever had a govt welfare handout when we were young, we worked hard, and saved.
