Politicians, a 'waste of oxygen' , for which we pay.

One by one I saw politicians from both sides of the fence fly over the Great Barrier Reef to view a ship aground on a coral reef. Of course it is disasterous and the guilty should be punished, but, what is the point of the flyover? We saw it daily/nightly on the news, why couldn't they? There are extremely competent people handling the situation very well.
What is the cost of hiring planes and helicopters by these 'stickybeaks', to the taxpayer?
They should be sitting in their offices on their fat salary backsides, considering ways to to help the people who put them in office, ways to make living easier for the blood, sweat and guts people who make/made Australia great.
I am peeved when I see certain politicians on TV in hard hats and orange/yellow safety vests wandering around building sites and tunnels and wasting time, topped by no constructive input whatsoever.
We pay them to oversee and improve our lifestyle and interests. In the private sector their time-wasting joy-rides would result in immediate dismissal.

I scrubbed up and was very pleased with the way I looked,

not bad for a 87yr.old.

had my new teeth in,was wearing both hearing aids,

even managed to part my hair.

my glasses fitted well over the hearing aids,



Why then did everyone run out of the room screaming?

I'd just like our politicians to put a little more effort into ground roots stuff.

I've currently written to four politicians, including the Prime Minister, for one rely in two weeks. (Computer generated emails saying "we'll get to you ASAP" don't count).

The demise of God save the King/Queen.



Was greeted by the news that the R.S.L. is dropping God save the.......... as being out of touch

with people. which it probably is; However memories of singing it every school morning

before marching into the classroom , everyone knew it off by heart, who can sing our anthem

and know the words today ? Who can forget the stampede out of the picture theatre before the

anthem when you had to stand until it was finished., the rush for the doors had to be seen to be believed. they were the good old days. seth.
