I took a moment today to contemplate how lucky the casual observer of Australian politics is right now. Think back to a few years ago. We had a deceiptful, weasel-words prime minister and an unelectable st bernard of an opposition leader. Now we have a proficient & contemplative prime minister and a strong-willed, very liberal opposition leader. And both of them know how to structure an argument. Game on, I say!

I have been thinking the same thing. On a world standard, we currently enjoy a relatively high standard of government and opposition here in Australia. People just take it for granted.
