While we have gotten rid of the orgre from the dark ages, it seems we have elected an apologetic ‘everyman’, a man seemingly for all, yet most likely of real benefit to none. His Milky Bar Kid Christmas handout is fiscally misguided, as is his safety net for the savings and bank accounts of ordinary Australians.

Tintin, you can please everyone for the first few months, but it is then that your government needs to assume the full responsibility of directing our nation. Because you are in fact the CEO, and showponying, saying ‘sorry’ and handing out Milky Bars to pensioners and the like won’t cut the mustard come next election.
