Election 2010 - What a drag!

Thanks for the pic ABC News!

Is anyone actually listening to what the pollies are saying this election?

Meaningless little policies that really won't change anything.

A government that went to the last election full of good policies that it couldn't effectively deliver, way to much talk and not enough get on with it.

The Liberal opposition that professes liberal policies, small government and less regulation, but is bringing in a set of policies that are a mile away from this and is determined to drive economic growth backwards by cutting government spending before the economy has fully recovered.

Needless fear about illegal arrivals who are not such a big issue and form less than 1% of all new immigration to Australia.  Promises about stopping boats that fail to recognise that unauthorised movement by people around the world has far greater relation to their security situation than it does to any laws enacted by the Australian parliament.

A Green movement that has a worthwhile social agenda - but who reject market economics out of hand.

When we had a decent party leader he was shot down by a bunch of old farts who didn't believe in climate change and a population that can't stand the idea of someone smarter than them becoming prime minister (Malcolm Turnbull).

How I crave for the kind of leadership that we saw from Paul Keating and Geoff Kennett.

Let's have leaders that will deliver true reform, that will really move Australia forward.
