..LET DOWN

I should be old enough to know that politician’s promises are totally ephemeral. Last Federal Election seduced into voting Labor by their promise to look after the environment; Create an organisation to combat political corruption; Interrupt the endless rich getting rich and the poor getting poorer. It was all a lie. My next votes will be to a good independent with our two major parties placed last on the ballot. ‘We gaol the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office’
