So it is a new day - and where do we find ourselves - pedophiles, victims, fellow travellers, protectors, defenders, Ministers, Prime Ministers, all of us together. Perhaps we can agree that this cannot go on. /2
Our parliament cannot be a nest of depravity because of the proclivities of the few. The country can not be held back because of the acquisitiveness of the greedy. This needs to stop. The thought of rejective democracy is too terrible to contemplate. /3
So we must take what we have and make it work. Parliament is not a football match. Stop barracking for teams, and barrack for integrity. If your MP is a pervert, a thief or an arsehole, challenge them. Don't wait for an election: make then shape up now, or drive them out now. /4
The country cannot withstand another year or two of thieves and rapists driving the agenda. Make your MP shape up, or make their lives hell. This is not about party politics; this is about what sort of country you want your kids to grow up in. /5
I'm not talking about hours of your time. Your MP has to see you if you ask for an appointment. Ask for 15 minutes, and when you get in there, ask about sexual assault, or aged care deaths, or the failed vaccine roll out. Hold them to account. Make them work for you.
