Dominated by a federal government, in a three-tier system of government, Australian politics is based on a constitution written in the 1890's that is extremely difficult to change via referendums. It is a Westminster system of government that has two separate chambers that are dominated by two major parties whose ideologies differ and both the sides are very combative to the extent that agreement on issues except politician wage increase, are hard won battles. If one side thinks of an idea, the other side shoots it down in flames, whether the idea is good or not. The public have become disillusioned and feel impotent to change things and see most politicians as merely sucking on the public teat and lining their own pockets. A good few of the political rank's behaviour does nothing to dispel that idea.Politics changed a lot in Australia from late 2013 onwards, although many will attest to the fact that it hasn't changed at all. There are still lies, deception, obfuscation and manipulation and these have had to become more sophisticated as social media has come to the fore. I have been adding my own comments to mainstream media and my own political blog in those years and on reflection I am amazed at the types of characters that are regularly unearthed and come to the forefront in our political climate. Some characters have developed over that time. Some were just fleeting shadows on the political spectrum. Others rose from obscurity and some may have also have faded back into it. Characters and events overlap. Views change and political manoeuvres take place. Ideology dictates much of what goes on. Hopefully my blog entries and reflections will help paint a picture of these characters and events that dominated the political scene in this period. This is not a chronological history of the time, merely one person's thoughts that he wanted to scream at the major players in Australian politics at the time.However, the disappointing thing about all these comments and research is what I still really don't understand is, that with so many pricks in Canberra, why the Canberra bubble doesn't burst?This is the third book in the series and covers the year 2016

There are so many questions that maybe have no answers but have been asked since human life began. Science and religions have tried to answer them but we only have limited knowledge. As we learn more perhaps we will gain greater insight. This book raises some very complex questions such as "What is God?" "What sort of society should we live in?" "Why do things happen the way they do? and "What is love?" It offers no answers but challenges the readers to think, examine things that they may have not even thought of before and to challenge ideas that perhaps have been overtly taught to them or subconsciously learned by them.
