The pursuit of power

If Turnbull has a mandate, then Pauline Hanson and Nick Xenophon must certainly have one too.

What Turnbull and Shorten don’t seem to realise is that they have a glorious opportunity to come to bipartisan agreement on many major policies, such as Superannuation reform as their policies on this issue are not far apart and recognise the eternal truth that Superannuation was never ever meant to be a tax haven for anyone.

They can render the cross bench powerless by working together to create quality reforms such as curbing the excesses of both the Trade Union Movement and the pampered realm of Corporate Australia, neither of which are serving Australia at all well.

Australia will applaud them if they become statesmen who work together.

There can be no doubt that Australia’s fragile Parliament is the result of a vote by a disgusted nation similar to what happened with the Brexit decision in Britain and will be repeated with Donald Trump in USA.

This revolt will grow daily while political leaders ignore the fact that voters have had an absolute gutful of the political establishment. Sadly, Turnbull gives the appearance of continuing to do right now.

I fear that the Coalition has the potential to tear itself apart to the extent that Australia will face another divisive election early next year which will create yet another dysfunctional Parliament.

The evidence of growing anarchy lies clearly before us. Voters rightly revolted against the arrogant Senate Reforms that Turnbull called Parliament back to especially pass, creating the most stupid Senate voting paper I have ever seen.

It will be a national joke for the rest of the century.

Australia deserves better.

I am ready to cheer Turnbull if he can radically change his inept political ways.
