Yes I am still about. Since my last post, a federal election has been called but fortunately we won't have the onerous restrictions that applied in the State election earlier this year.
I must state that I am surprised at Julia Gillard and how she has acquitted herself since her unexpected elevation to PM. I was shocked at Kevin Rudd's ouster but have equally been shocked at the obvious venom that has emerged towards him from within the Labor movement.
I surmise that the faction heavies are keen not to have
him on the front bench or in Parliament at all.
It has become easier for me knowing where to cast my
voting and am personally fed up with the hype and
counter-accusations from either party.
We should really vote for candidates who will
stick up for local issues and speak forth as an
independent and not be beholden to partisan
positions. I also believe that pollies should be
changed frequently to counter croneyism and ineffectiveness.
We should in reality be electing a politician on
local issues and not a partisan hack who will
toe the party line. That is my tuppenceworth.
