Any Ideas?

I am not interested anymore in what becomes of our current Government. Sadly they have demonstrated a complete lack of any real idea about what it means to be in government - ever since they assassinated Kevin and snuck back into power last year.

It is a sad thing to admit but they are clearly a government that is out of its depth.

Anyone with even an ounce of common sense and any real understanding of what the nation needs would know that this government has squibbed it - because it clearly doesn't know what to do - about anything.

They

* Let the mining industry ride roughshod over them,

* Foolishly discarded their traditional base and chased after the bogan vote,

* Have been comprehensively done over by the Coalition on asylum seekers and a carbon price,

* Continue to deny the electorate a say on the shitty little war in Afghanistan,

* Suck up to the US Administration and Rupert - and god knows who else,

* Continually let News Ltd, the right wing media and even the ABC put them down,

* Have cobbled up a "Malaysian Solution" for asylum seekers which is simply wrong - if not illegal,

* Were intimidated by The Coalition into pursuing a "Budget Surplus" when something else is necessary.

And a hundred other examples of poor thinking, bad management and weak governance.

They seem unable even to articulate the successes that Kevin's government had - saving us from the GFC, the NBN, BER, and home insulation programmes - because they have let the Coalition and its puppeteers rewrite history around those.

And I am pretty sure that they are all wandering about wringing their hands and wondering how they got here. And trying to work out how to get out of it.

Who cares?
