Australian Independents Day
Just a little bit of political gibberish for a Satuday morning to mix things up.I like the way these Independents (the crossbenchers in general) and their indications on what they will do to reshape Australian politics. I really have disliked the bickering between Labor and Liberal especially in the last few years. I would love to see more minority governments in Australia.
I hope minority governments will help achieve Don Chipp's aim to "keep the bastards honest"If it takes a hung parliament to make these sorts of changes or a declaration of independence, I don't really care, as long as it reduces the ridiculousness of the schoolyard arguments between big party leaders. I would also like to see a hell of a lot more conscience votes rather than voting with party policy.I really like the fact that the crossbenchers are not all in agreement on lots of issues and clearly disagree with each other on certain topics, but they seem to be working well together for the good of the country. I hope at the end of all this I can be a proud Australian... always the optimist
