I keep wondering why we aren't seeing some good, slightly charismatic explanation to the public on what needs to be done. Hockey's had a go at it. But I think he could do more to flog some common sense into the dim witted. Forget trying to onside the green supporters, if you can't cram your message into three words, (save the whales, sharks, same sex marraige) they are already sticking their fingers in their ears.

The media is not doing the country any favours either. As soon as there is an announcement of some possible cut to health/welfare, they drag out some 'victim', tell him to put the most 'hard done by' expression on his face, and then feed the hard luck story into the 5 minutes that passes as news.

The fact that Labor and the Greens can't get down their skinny red necks is that rich is not a dirty word, poor is. And we are all going to get a lot poorer if we don't become an efficient, profitable economy.

If their strategy is just to introduce sudden cuts which would never pass the senate without compromise then such an explanation would be a complete waste of time.

They need to hit their heartland. The only time sensible policy has come through has been when the right introduces left wing policy and the left introduces right wing policy.
