What Creamy and myself are engaging in is realpolitik.
Sure, I could do a Creampuff and jump online and just prattle on about how nothing will ever change, everybody is wasting their time, and 'all you blokes are dumbasses', but doing so won't even give us a tiny shot at change
A tiny shot at what? Endless postings on this thread does not represent a tiny shot at anything! Wishful thinking is not based on any sense of reality. Have another read of Leady's post and count the number of inquiries that have resulted in no change to the system. One of the definitions of stupidity is to do the same thing repeatedly expecting a different result.
The only way that change will happen is to lobby your local member persistently and present them with facts and evidence. This is not a one off process. Its why corporations such as Qantas employ people to be a presence in the halls of parliament. Its why AIPA does the same thing but they understand that it is a long term process. Then again for those who submit donkey votes and then expect the political process to fix their grievances no amount of discussion that diverges from their Lewis Carroll view of the world is going to make any difference.
