Australia needs leadership, not low-brow media-driven political discourse. I'm as right-wing as they come,
but I still regard both Keating and Hawke, especially Keating, as fine national leaders. The Labour left currently
has no one with true leadership quality. Shorten & "the Pleb" are the weakest leadership team in Labour's history.
When the thunderbolt strikes, many people run around with twisted knick knacks for a while, then things settle down
and the changes introduced take their necessary place. What is now happening in Australia, i.e the real leadership from
the current government, has been a long time coming in recent political life, and badly needs to happen.
