In response to Is Albo reverting to compulsive secrecy?

Don’t you worry about that

What a magnificent statement about our strategic and defence situation Jack Waterford’s article is! It highlights the sickness in our democracy. It is not just Americans who don’t want a king, but rather robust public debate and an effective system of checks and balances on executive power, and input, which is listened to, into that power.

At the moment we the people have to suffer the Joh Bjelke-Petersen DYWAT style of government: “Don’t you worry about that”, otherwise called the mushroom syndrome.
