I don't expect an answer.<br /><br />I don't bear grudges against people who voted for them in the last election, but I do expect those people to shout long and hard when they see things that they don't agree with. The Libs, in their less extreme form, are fine. I just can't abide by the current lack of forward thinking, compassion and accountabiliy. Give them a chance - only when they start to take account for their own actions. Until then, I'm joining the Labor party (or Greens) and will continue to agitate.<br />Pandora Behrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582255671962095503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966368087145658519.post-92180583178382013792013-10-07T18:22:00.009+11:002013-10-07T18:22:00.009+11:00It's a good list of questions, but I don't...It's a good list of questions, but I don't think you are seriously expecting an answer on most of them are you? More like a list of the things that are appalling you, and there's nothing wrong with that.<br />Look, I voted for them this time(ducks for cover...) and I'm not happy with any of the three parties at the moment. And from what little the new govt has done so far I'm a bit dismayed. But I'm withholding full judgement to give them a chance and see how they go. Tony Abbott has surprised everyone with getting this far, and he's managed to curb the worst aspects of his past, so he might even do OK. Labor did great things the last 6 years but I do believe the constant scrapping and instability was causing damage and wasting everyone's time and energy - they needed a time out, to regroup and change tack. The Greens annoy me a bit as they have no opinions or ideas for anything except their core areas. <br />Sigh - these are dark days. Hopefully will all soon start to improve.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966368087145658519.post-25240345005321022392013-10-07T06:48:17.852+11:002013-10-07T06:48:17.852+11:00It is brilliant - but I wouldn't hold your bre...It is brilliant - but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for an answer. Which some lucky public servant, probably from Prime Minister and Cabinet, would have to draft. And redraft. And insert more weasel words. And redraft again.<br />And I understand that one of the things (such an important thing) occupying the public service time and energy at the moment is changing the word Program to read Programme in all official documents.

And it was tidied up for grammar and spelling before sending. <br /><br />I will put my name to everything I say here, unequivocally and passionately, because I truly believe, with all my heart, that our current federal Government are heartless, cruel and regressive and I will say this, repeatedly.<br /><br />Regards,Pandora Behrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582255671962095503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966368087145658519.post-81073313554869121202013-10-06T18:51:19.820+11:002013-10-06T18:51:19.820+11:00Panda, throwing a tantrum and not even putting you...Panda, throwing a tantrum and not even putting your real name to it, that in itself is the kind of disrespect you allege in your letter. Real criticism isn't born of emotional outbursts, it is created by careful thought and articulation backed by fact.
