Been away all day, this is a long thread that I have only skimmed, but I am going to jump right in.
Aussies stymied the country for 6 yrs with undue influence given to greens and independents ... and they have pretty much done it again at the last election with PUP narrow minded single purpose senators.
Democracy in this current form is debilitating Australia imo.
Voters do not on average get it right ... and sadly, it is their right to get it wrong ... its been downhill since glib marketers conned the nation with Kevin 07.
