Disappointed with our leaders
Thoroughly enjoyed this article and share Barb’s disappointment in our political leaders. Australia seems to be going off course. The tragedy is that in a recent election, Bill Shorten tried to offer solutions to many of her concerns, but was unsuccessful with many short-sighted Australians.
When Murdoch controls 80% of the media and has other ideas, many of his readers are misled about the precarious situation. Murdoch’s minions and lackeys are pushing a separate dangerous and backward agenda. The legacy media meekly wades in the swamp.
The other tragedy is that our political system is broken and not fit for purpose. The adversarial nature of the two-party system is failing us all. I am nearly 80 and, like Barb, despair for the future generations.
