As I wrote in my last post, I am stunned by the recent actions of a party that seeks to portray itself as progressive - but I am also flabbergasted by the superficiality of some activists who claimed the ALP and the neoliberal party were EXACTLY the same.
That
position was backtracked from when I mentioned the abhorrence of having
Morrison as a leader after a next election, and I gained the impression
that the earlier statement was not a well reasoned piece of lobbying,
it was a simplistic "device" - and exactly the sort of fashionable
cynicism that I am concerned with, that discourages people from
getting involved in politics.
