the mad monk steals our democracy

I seem to recall that at the last Federal election, we voted in a Labor government to run the country for the next term. And yet it seems that, every time that government announces a new initiative, it's immediately followed by a news bite of the mad monk, Tony Abbott announcing that it's all really just another new tax, and that he doesn't support it, so he'll block it in the Senate.

Since when does the Senate run the government? Does Abbott not understand that we voted for the other guy to make the decisions? Why has he decided to hijack the country and rule it from the Senate, instead of letting the government do the job that we voted them in to do?

I'm tired of his arrogant negativity; it's time he showed some real leadership and thought about what might be good for the country, instead of what might help his own political stocks. He's the absolute worst kind of politician imaginable - the rat who undermines the interests of his country in order to further his own personal ambitions.

In the meantime, we all suffer as he and his cohorts pervert the democratic system for their own benefit.
