It’s time for all the palaver we associate with election campaigns and already we’ve had enough.
Not just because we’ve heard it all before but sadly the protagonists have become like a mega advertising campaign with all the bells and whistles associated with flogging a must-have product and none of the reality that usually tells us it will be a short term love affair, again
Chris Bowen is supposedly in a winning position but until the ‘fat lady sings’ it’s still in the hands of the electorate and we know how the outcome is never written in stone.
But a jovial lot of current and hopeful MP’s listened attentively to Mr Bowen for his address at the National Press Club in Canberra on the eve of the calling of the election and then it was all over and the starting gun was fired the following early a.m.
For a bit of humour – and don’t we need it – if you or I were up to our proverbial in the kind of debt the government thinks is acceptable we’d be bringing in the ‘grandmas’, to curb their spending and making sure they paid their debt down before they spent what they don’t have on a pile of things we don’t need.
So laugh at the machinations, be suspicious of false promises that won’t be realised if we change government and keep a healthy respect for what we know and not the palaver.
