our government

Imagine if we had an (Australian) government that said to us that due to globalisation of the economy, international economic downturn and the climate change problem our government is impotent and the political process is ineffectual

We do

• lower expectations
• petrol prices are beyond our control
• climate change requires extensive international co-operation
• even though our PM expects everyone around him to be workaholics it is still all too hard
• we will all have to sacrifice to stop global warming
