Politics of desperation

The time has come to stop listening. From now until the election is over politicians will not be telling us the truth. Tony Abbott led the way into the meaningless zone with his budget speech reply and the Government will soon follow his example. Our would-be leaders and our leaders all fear that honesty is not a good policy. Hence the Opposition Leader wants us to believe that getting rid of thousands of public servants will not affect the services they deliver. And rather than having the courage to announce the cutting of some specific programs he pretended he will solve the nation’s budget deficit by waving his magic efficiency wand. Sad but inevitable I guess.
