Dear Posterity
I will offer a a prize to anyone who can actually make me believe in Australiian politics. It seems that all that survives is an ALP who only believe in their need to get re-elected and a Liberal Party who believe in their right to bo re-elected, and neither speaks to any other issue.
The Labor Party of Ben Chifley and "Doc" Evatt has been replaced by the Labor.party of Graeme Richardson, and the Liberal Party of Bob Menzies, John Gorton and Mal Fraser has been replaced by theparty of Billy McMahon and John Howard.
I think Tony Abbott beliieves in some things, most of wwhich I disagree with, but I don't thinnk Julia Gilllard believes in anyththing except the need to be re-electe.
