Australians' preference for passive politics is a wide-spread problem

Unfortunately, the ‘alternative’ press is equally adept at pursuing its own agendas.

Perhaps the solution is to read the Australian and then read Pilger and try to reconcile the two. What was the line from "The X-files"? The truth is out there – but where????

There must be a popular move to require the promotion of serious debate about the way we manage our society. There must be a popular move to require transparency and accountability in all walks of life.

That impetus can only come from one source. We need to do what Norm ultimately did in getting off his well cushioned behind and doing it for himself.

Australia needs people who represent people not ideologies. People with vision who will stand by their ideals. People who are willing to manage Australia for Australians and not for their own self-aggrandizement.

It is our right to have better. Australia deserves better.
