In a democracy they represent us

Federal Independent MP Tony Windsor has had 20 years experience in politics so you would think he would understand that if a politicians let alone a Prime Minister does something that the public don't like the Australian will, and does public speak up, sometimes quite strongly.

Now let me say up front that in Australia today there is absolutely no reason, no excuse, no justification whatsoever for violence, or even threats of violence.... especially in the democratic debate.

Certainly not over policies and decisions of the parliament whether a politician is being truthful or not.

That said if Tony Windsor, or anyone else on the carbon tax joint committee, think that the Australian public are not genuinely angry over the carbon tax announcement then they, our representatives, aren't listening to the people, they represent.... well then it is time to ….
....Turn It Up.

No scrutiny please, its been spent


Well what a week it has been in Federal politics.

Even Chris Pyne didn't even bother to turn up to vote on his own bill for an inquiry into the ALP's B.E.R. But when you understand he knew he couldn't get the numbers to support the vote he found another way to talk about this.

When. given the opportunity to vote for more scrutiny of government spending the independents have repeatedly said; “Nah don't worry about it ...we'll trust the government on military spending, then scuttled a vote for the Public Works committee to scrutinise the ABN spending and likewise no scrutiny on BER spending.

While all makes one comment from Independent Tony Windsor is quite interesting, essentially saying that he wouldn't be voting for more scrutiny into how the money was spent because he voted in support of more spending.

Therein lies the problem some politicians are having. It seems for many, so long as money was spent ... on something … and jobs were kept and someone got something and the bills were paid everything is as it was meant to be.

The question of value for money is an issue they dare not consider and certainly dare not put under scrutiny...

If they held an inquiry who knows what you might find out? Turn It Up.... I'm Michael Robinson.
