FOI
Why do so many australians vote for a government that wants nothing but to take away the civil duties and political rights that are currently bestowed upon every citizen? If these citizens do not want to partake in political activities, or figuratively wish "to keep their head in the sand" why do they even vote?
Not only does this government keep denying australian citizens information about themselves and how they are governed, the elected government manipulates the very political and social sphere it operates within, in the name of giving itself over to the people in a liberal political fashion. A liberal political ideology of minimal governmental control. How ironic under the patriot act.
Obviously politicians who wish to move the political sphere into the margins, or remove it altogther, do not want to keep their parliamnetary job. They don't want the dole, because that wont exist. They don't want a pension, that'll go too. So how will they survive? I hope they are doing a lot of big memorable favours for large exclusive multi-national corporations, because they will be the only things left to afford to upkeep the current lifestyles of australian politicians.
