Can we get to the stage of addressing the big picture?

There are so many threads here on HC that seem to talk about rather minor issues which last little more than 24 hours.

Politics particularly Federally IMO is about the big issues. Issues that effect Australia as a nation.

Perhaps we are falling into the trap of reacting to often to what the media have to say on issues that amount to nothing more than points scoring or selling column inches.

Just my thoughts.
