Well that really cheered me up as I have been suffering from a bad bout of pneumonia and I thought things could not get much worse (yeah right!). Thank you Margo for putting into words the frustration that I have been feeling as a Citizen of this country for a long, long time. I suppose my disillusionment with our politicians began as a first time voter when Bob Hawke's Labor, the party I voted for, decided to sell uranium to the French when they said that they would not. Ever since then I have felt that our politicians on all sides have slowly but surely been dividing and selling off Australia's heart. This Government though in particular has gone one step further and decided that our collective soul is up for grabs as well. I for one just want to say that my soul is not for sale and I do believe in the ideals that made Australians a proud and compassionate people. Those ideals of a fair go for all, mateship and doing the right thing just because it is the right thing to do stemmed from the collective heart and soul of Australian citizens past and present and not just from our politicians. I want my democracy back too! Thanks!
