If Australians fully realised the degree to which politicians have caused or exacerbated most of the major problems the nation faces, there would be rioting in the streets.

The streets of our major cities would resemble the recent scenes in France if there was a full appreciation of the way politicians create problems, fail to enact solutions to serious problems and/or create legislation that makes a serious problem worse.

Everyone with a mortgage is paying massively higher monthly costs because the Federal Government has taken no action to address rising inflation – leaving it to the Reserve Bank to use the dumb, blunt instrument of lifting interest rates to try to fix the problem.

Households across Australia are dealing with massive increases in energy costs because politicians have messed up the electricity supply system.

We’ve had royal commissions into multiple core issues, including aged care, the behaviour of the big banks, deaths in custody and many other issues – and there’s o evidence of improvement in any of those areas.

Housing affordability has been a massive issue for decades and there have been multiple government inquiries but the problem continues to get worse.

The rental shortage crisis has been building for years – and not only do politicians have no solutions, but every time they pass laws that impact on real estate markets they make it considerably worse.

Think about that for a moment.
