Pugsley, at one of the election rallies in Wodonga it was apparent that what we're seeing is the emergence of the close cooperating, NON-LNP parties [excluding the very minor players like Family First & PUP that is].

I saw firsthand how Cathy McGowan supporters [Independent], The Greens and Labor were cooperating almost seamlessly at the grass roots level.

No-one was talking about wages being too high or welfare benefits being too generous; they were passionately lamenting global tax evasion by multinational corporations and the ultra-rich however. They were furious that after hamming up tackling that at the G20 meeting, Tony Abbott produced not a damn thing to tackle it afterwards!

People are not happy that companies like News Limited escape the clutches of the ATO to avoid $882m in tax obligations while the PAYE taxpayer is slugged harder and even threatened with a broader and higher GST. People are angry that Apple is allowed to charge like a wounded bull for its products in Australia and to declare its profits in tax havens.

Politicians who don't learn those lessons will be given even harsher lessons in future! Those cigar-smokers who continue to shame and blame workers, the young unemployed, the asset poor, the vulnerable and the aged as leaners, loafers and bludgers may well be forced to eat their own words [humble pie no less].
