    I’m not ashamed to be Australian. I’m ashamed to be under a “democracy” that relies on corrupt representatives and a legal system around enabling them.

    The country needs a revolution, it’s the head that’s the problem.

        You can’t vote in a flawed system. Politicians rarely ever listen to voters over lobbyists and paycheques.

          People can vote, I don’t see how they can’t. The problem is the media is totally in the pocket of the politicians so nobody is exposing all the bullshit or if they are, they get their house firebombed. A strong and independent media is what we need imo. Without that, corruption will just spread again no matter what happens.
