Australian Governments haven't been doing this for some time, and sooner than you think a generation of Australians will be made to suffer. This current government doesn't even have a set of policies that anyone understands!!! It's been nope nope nope wall the way for 6 years. Instead of focusing on the Nation, ScoMo like Abbott is focussing on battles. He and Trump are joined at the hip on Immigration and the need for Assimilation rather than planned diversity which we began in the 50s,
Australia for the past 6 years increasingly connected to the USA and for the past 4 even more so by Murdoch's fake media corporation which is really a PR agency. Murdoch's influence can be seen when we compare English speaking nations where he hasn't as much weight, and it becomes quite apparent, looking at NZ and Canada.
The difference in approach to Asylum the readiness to go to war a and energy are significantly different. Look at Trump, Boris and ScoMo compare them to Adair and Trudeau and Murdochian lobbying stands out in relief.

There was a time when Australia enjoyed a good reputation.There was a time when Australians understood and valued the work of unions in giving workers a collective voice to protect their safety and gain entitlements like holiday pay, sick leave, parental leave, overtime rates, compulsory superannuation, equal pay, meal breaks, skills training, job security, and a myriad of other things that workers don’t appreciate until they are under threat.
Now unions are collectively labelled as thugs, bullies and thieves.
There was a time when Australians accepted a genuine contest with the best team on the day winning. Now we have football teams placed on experimental performance enhancing drug regimes and cricketers using sandpaper to tamper with the ball. And politicians willing to say all manner of hyperbolic lies to get elected.
Australians used to hate bullshit.
Boy, has that changed. Kaye Lee
