With all due respect to my friends down under, I swear to God this last trip made me think that every Australian politician has something stuck up his/her rear.
I could not believe the crap I was hearing during the debate – I had to cut off a few people who tried to make statements when they were supposed to be asking questions… there was one particular horse owner who was talking about the arrogance of the Betfair representative – and completely ignorant of the fact that the TABs and the AHB were equally if not more arrogant – not to mention himself – he said he had gone into the meeting with an open mind – BULLSHIT.
I never paid much attention to Australian politics until now – but after this trip, it makes me think that the public needs to vote out the hypocrites in office – each and every one of them – and start afresh with a completely new crowd of people who have some common sense and are not full of themselves.
I get the feeling British politics are very similar… and I wouldn’t be surprised if the US Congress is the same.
Makes me think that Thai politicians are a bit more straightforward – even if half of them have a little extra income on the side.
