On Australian Politics
“In a democracy. the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority.”
Edmund Burke

Politics is devoid of leadership
It is easy to criticise Malcolm Turnbull for his lack of leadership. I do it often. Even more so because he is the indirect reason I decided to become an Australian citizen.
But what the debacle of same sex marriage has demonstrated more than anything, is that to be a leader of a political party is not just difficult, but almost impossible.
The mere notion of leadership in politics has become a contradiction in terms.
