A choice

As the pollies are fond of saying we will have the only election that really matters soon where we get, in our increasingly American style presidential elections, not a choice between two different parties with carefully considered electoral platforms, but two presidential styled figures who are playing fast and loose with the truth and unconcerned with the human costs.

For the past three years we have watched Abbott smiling and glad handing around the country predicting gloom and doom from the very sensible legislation put through a minority government.
Now we have the return of the super-sized ego Kevin 07 who after three years of working covertly for the fall of a  Labor PM, leaking to his mates in the press, and constantly undermining an elected government without having the courage to own his actions now playing the worst sort of politics and using the most vulnerable people as his pawns to play a game of dirty chess. 
​
Yes it is back to the future.  "I am just going to play with his head" he said about John Howard and he did.  Now he's playing with Tony's head but the stake he is using is our conscience and mine is not up for sale.
So how to vote come the election?  Nothing will convince me to vote Liberal and a vote for the Greens is a vote for Labor in my electorate so what to do?  The choice is between two parties led by two nasty obvious liars who will do anything and say anything to get into the Lodge.
