A Cry for Help

So we lanced the Queensland political boil, yet again, and out spurted Pauline Puss, just as rancid as it has always been.

The sad, racist, hateful, ignorant, fool that she is, is back. And nothing has changed, she is still spewing the same old poison she did twenty years ago. She still has no idea that she is the problem and not the solution.

She is the living embodiment of what the lack of education, and therefore cuts to education, can produce. As are most of her supporters, I assume. We really need to put billions more into education, if we don't want people like this spreading their ignorance in future.

We also need to listen to the cry for help. People are clearly hurting, if they would follow the fool who is Pauline Hanson so easily.  What they are really afraid of are not Muslims, but the loss of jobs and the loss of stability in their lives. Abbott and fatboy Hocky so smugly destroyed the car industry, something, amongst other things, that gave people jobs and security. That is the real problem, Liberal's non-existant trickle down economics that in all reality only favours the rich and leaves the poor looking for messiahs in all the wrong people.

We need to accept, despite how they express their concerns, people do have valid reasons to be concerned. In the last 20 years Australia has become one of the least protected markets in the world. However, the prosperity promised as result of these changes never arrived. Instead services and businesses have shrunk and vanished. Lives have been whittled away by neo-liberal economics and globalisation from the Right; and shifts in worldview and social justice from the Left. This is a group of people who are no longer at the centre of Australia’s life, and they have been left to fend for themselves without any help to transition or understand the change. They feel justifiably marginalised…

The Liberal governments are doing nothing to help the working class, because most of them have no idea what it means to be working class.

We need to put billions more into jobs, rather than pretending that our free trade agreements will help anyone other than the rich.
