''If you want to turn a blind eye to abuse of the system by major players,im sure they would love more constituants like yourself.
Talk about just let this major occurance be swept under the carpet,all the players would adore you''

it is NOT turning a blind eye at all - it's about priorities

It is the job of every citizen to grind on their government of the day, that is the role of each citizen in between elections.

However, simplistic and shallow minds grind on the wrong stones.

Should we be grinding on the Labor government? -------------- hell yeah

but, where the real grinding should be taking place is hit them about what they are NOT doing - for building a nation

stuff the local gossip garbage - in the scheme of things - it's totally irrelevant.

Grind on them for the lack of building new foundations - new stepping stones so we can walk faster and run across the mire into the future
grind on them to provide better health, better housing, proper foods - so that the population can get better education to work in better activities

sure, have a crack at them for the local gossip - but for heavens sake - get it into perspective

because Oz has an awful habit of discussing who kicked the dog - and just going on and on and on about it -
