IMO

this kind of thing just becomes an oxygen sucking process and is totally timewasting

yes, your basic concept is correct enough ------------ but, the point, if there is any - should be, where to from here.

It is abundantly clear that most of us are unhappy with governments and the way that the country is going ---

whilst we can f about working through whose fault it was or is - and, yes, I've done a fair share of that -

I really think that we should all just get a basic set of principles and beliefs that are ballknockingly obvious for a society to have in place before it can go anywhere positive

and then - if we have that - we make sure that any or all of our actions including government decisions work 'towards' that direction

it is a first step - and it might get complicated by how we philosophise political direction - but we need those first understandings in place -

we need to grasp what turning a country into a nation requires - and, it begins here

A detailed goal - and then -
Look after the people.

People need
housing
feeding
ill health prevention and health car
EDUCATION - real education, not job training

then come many important things - but, without the above - we go nowhere and Oz is atm not even remotely close to providing those very basic foundations

we all know what has not worked - what we need to look at is what to do now ---- and whatever we do - rules, laws or INTENT - must work to benefit all in society - get those basics done first - or there will be no future for children - even for us with wealth
