If only there were people in left in government with the wit, wisdom and courage to actually govern.
Alas, it’s just tweedle dumb swapping sides with tweedle dumber. All the people who avoided doing anything in government are now calling for action, from the luxury of opposition. All of the people who called for action, from the luxury of opposition, are now avoiding doing anything in government.
I often wonder whether, deep down, the likes of Senators Fawcett, Nash and Heffernan feel a little unclean. Like most politicians, as individuals they seem to be very intelligent, hard-working and honest. They obviously have a very deep insight into what’s wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. But the overriding obligation to the party and gaining and maintaining incumbency seems to put paid to all of that.
Must feel kinda weird going to all that effort to get into government to avoid governing.
