Australian Political System...

Is it really possible to take the Australian political system seriously anymore?

In an election year, I guess people are expecting various promises and pledges from both the Government and the main Opposition party. And many people would also now be expecting these promises and pledges to be broken once th election is over. But looking at recent events in Australia, I have to say I'm rapidly loosing faith in our political system, especially our two-party system. The Haneef alleged terrorism case, the resurgence of the Tampa incident in 2001, plus seemingly endless election stunts, tat seem to forget that the Australian population just may have a mind and just may be able to think for themselves.

Organisations like GetUp are trying to bring back grassroots democracy, and that is great, and thy are doing an awesome job at it. Now we just need a political system that is actually there to do what its meant to do - to represent the people that elected them.

It's time that our politicians got real and actually did something, other than arguing and stalling and making election promises that they don't intend on following through.
