Don't worry, the gallant ALP will be there to hold them to account!

(It is April 1st, isn't it?) 🙂

No May 15th artice and the ALP is probably more culpable.

In my honest opinion we need to tear down the Westminster system of Government that was FORCED upon us, rip it to shred and then throw it in the nearest garbage bin, then start anew from scratch.

@Triphid I don't think it's the Westminster system that's at issue. I'd take it over the awful US binary system of two conservative parties controlled by the country's ruling class. What our system needs is a genuine left - right multi party spectrum, something that the Hawke Keating years destroyed, not that the ALP was ever that left, but now it's farce, with the ALP lost forever, incapable of genuine reform, clinging to a failed past, unable to embrace a left platform.

@David1955 The 'Seppo' system, imo, is little more than sick joke but I firmly believe Australia needs to shed ALL semblances of 'Mother (????) England', become a True Republic with its own system of Government, Elections, rid itself copletely of the Bi-partisan ideology of having ONLY 2 major Political Parties that can barter votes between them and, especially, rid itself of ANY and ALL political parties forming coallitions as per the Liberal-National Coallition ever occurring again.
I.e. ANY Political Party seeking election MUST stand by itself, on its own platform and on its own merits alone.
A few of my ideas are,
A) NO candidate over the Age of 60 years can run for Election,
B) NO Party can hold Government for longer than 2 consecitive Terms,
C) NO Lobbying of Government/Politicians by Big Businesses/Corpoations, etc, INCLUDING ALL Religions/Religious Groups is permitted,
D) ONLY Community Service based Groups/Organisations, etc, are permitted to lobby Governments, etc,
E) ALL retiring Politicians ARE only entitled to claim the STANDARD rate of the Pension as per paid to every other citizen,
F) ALL politicians, State, Federal or Local are to paid on a sliding scale of Income based solely upon their Individual Productivity for the WHOLE Populace, NOT just their Electorate, i.e. they ALL start out on a BASE Rate Income and either it increases with proven productivity or remains as a Base Income,
G) Australians as a WHOLE elect the Leader of the Country NO matter which Party gains Government,
H) ALL Candidates MUST show Australian Citizenship only, must relinquish any and ALL ties/interests, etc, to or with Business concerns and incomes from such BEFORE, during and AFTER becomng elected and during their entire Tenure in Office,
Those are the basic ideas I have for a better system of Government, please feel free to add/subtract any you wish.
