One does not have to be a political philosopher to recognise that "Market Morality" where greed is good has crept into our National psychic casting aside the traditional notions of patriotism, the General Good and political parties with clear/well defined political philosophies; instead we have woke up with mobs of the political elite striving for power by any which way possible. that is, whatever it takes
For example we have the Labor split with Fitzgibbon hell bent at mining votes in the Hunter coal regions contrary to Labor Policy and now we have Campbell Newman teaming up with PUP Palmer (or should I say PHP (Palmer Hip Pocket) Palmer party which splits the LNP in Qld for the sake of being elected (transactional politics; not principled politics)
And then we have Barnaby barracking for the coal miners & Gina ; all hip pocket stuff.
And like the TV steak knife ad.......there's more.
One of our biggest corporate tycoons , Harly Normal refusing to give back the $22 million of Job Keeper dole money while profiteering on Covid & at the same time objecting to the minimum wage measly increase.
Now as Crocidile Dundee might have said (pardon me Paul) ...........That's real Greed...eh?
And of course over the past few weeks we have heard Ch 7 spruik Aus athletes achievements as "advancing their sports careers" and "what a boost to a sports career"; very hip pocket indeed! (pardon me while I adjust the Budgie Smugglers, the hip pocket is getting them a tad out of kilter!)
(and dont mention the $millions rolling in via Political Donations (AKA Legislation or Cash)
The Libs have temporarily ditched Neo_Liberalism (dont tell the back bench but) of small taxes, small government & minimal Government interference in The Market... PSSSSST, dont tell them that they are now "Keynesian Socialists" or it will emotionally effect ScoMo,; so much so that he will likely sound like a frog at Sunday's Hillsong.
