I just got this off my chest somewhere else -

You don’t know much about politics if you think that Labor and the Coalition are tweedledum and tweedledee. The hallmarks of this rotten Labor State government are;

- Jobs for the Boys and (even more so) the Girls; Spring St is burgeoning with party hacks “working” as ministerial advisors, and a massive expansion in the bureaucracy, and worst of all plum judicial appointments for inexperienced mates and matettes;

- an abominable Racial and Religious Tolerance Act that has skewered our liberties;

- Green capture of crucial policy areas such as urban planning and energy policy (stupid windfarms);

- a post-Trotskyite attitude to political power that says “we can do what we want to whom we want” without due process or proper limits to authority e.g. the OPI star chamber approach to the Armed Offenders Squad officers;

- and general complacency when it comes to the business climate.

None of these would have been visited on us by a Kennett or Doyle government.
