MPs are claiming they’re scared following the horrific attack on Helen. But let’s talk about the bigger picture.
You know who should be scared? The Australian people should be scared of what their own politicians have done to this country.
You have broken people’s spirits, broken families and destroyed livelihoods. Australians are struggling to put food on the table, pay their bills and find secure employment. People are being pushed to the brink while politicians continue making decisions that leave ordinary Australians worse off.
We are watching our standard of living decline, and people are becoming increasingly desperate. We are heading in the wrong direction because of years of poor decision-making, economic mismanagement and politicians who seem increasingly disconnected from the people they are supposed to represent.
Meanwhile, billions of dollars are being committed overseas while Australians at home are struggling to survive. If we have money to look after other countries, but cannot adequately look after our own people, then we have a serious problem.
It’s not rocket science. When people lose their livelihoods, their homes, their financial security and their faith in the political system, resentment grows.
