Does our country still have any decent human beings in politics? It's a tough job but you have an obligation if you wish to be a representative of your people.
The Peter Reith phone fiasco chased a decent man out of Federal Parliament a few years ago until now, when Labor MP for NSW Milton Orkopoulos has been sacked over child sex allegations.
This is the most disgraceful allegation and makes you wonder how this person was ever a representative of his people?
I have no time or sympathy for these allegations and if proven true then he should not be given any special privileges nor should he have any entitlements as regular parliamentarians would get.
Turning to the Labor vs. Liberal showdown for state governance who will win?
Iemma and his mob are in tatters. Carl Scully gone - a party in disarray. Cross city tunnel damage. Roads. Tolls. Education. Hospitals.
Its time for change and its time for a new government but is the Liberal Party any better? Debman is raw and new to the job. He has not released any policies. He just plays the opposite card to the Government on every policy issue.
Bickering continues to haunt the Liberals who have inter-party issues with the Right Wing assuming control. While the Party is unstable how could the voters have any confidence to vote them into power?
The underlying question is why then are there no decent people in politics? It is just that politics.
Whether it is between two parties or within the party, egos and agendas always come first as voters are seen as numbers, not participants in the electoral process.
Can we have some sensible, intelligent people going into politics? What is needed to get better representatives running our states and country? Why don't people want to go into Politics?
We couldn't get a worse bunch than we have at the moment and let's hope the problems of the past few months have weeded out the thorns so we can develop and sustain the social and economic issues of this state
