Dear Editor,
There’s no doubt the current Australian Federal Govt. led by Labor’s Anthony Albanese has – just like all previous governments of all persuasions – achieved some excellent outcomes. However, on the matters of Australia’s energy policies and the proposed direct, “Voice to Parliament” PM Albanese and his cabinet should have heeded Groucho Marx’s, “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.”
Perhaps it is even more so after PM Albanese’s attack upon Federal Opposition Leader over Peter Dutton’s “NO” vote inclinations, particularly when it appears that close to 50% (or more) Aussies of all origins have the same “NO” vote inclinations as Peter Dutton.
Which reminds me of Groucho’s, “There’s only two things you can start without a plan: a riot and a family, for everything else you need a plan,” of which PM Albanese right now, I’m sure, would agree with the former (and only a Groucho Marx would dare comment on the latter).
Yours,
Howard Hutchins
Victoria, Australia
