This article is probably the most significant thing that I have read about Australian politics this year.
Putting aside for a moment the fact that the Liberal party is no longer the party that Menzies founded to give political representation to ordinary Australians. See here and here and here and here for a discussion of that.
What this article does is tell the story about how Liberal politicians have evolved as a species.
In the real world evolution enhances species. They must adapt or die.
In the rarefied atmosphere of Australian politics evolution creates a hybrid species that exists only for their own personal gratification. To survive they have adapted in unusual and bizarre ways. Their main characteristic is a predisposition to "genuflect" and say "yes" to their party bosses.
If you have been reading my blog then you will be aware of my thinking on this subject.
The question is "When will we Australian's do an Egypt"?
