I have been asking the same question for decades and I know there are a lot of us out there in the electorate.

Really, it is getting beyond a joke. We are being left behind with a leadership model which consistently puts their own future ahead of those they are supposed to represent.

We need credible action on climate change, anti-corruption laws with teeth, timely and transparent disclosure laws, along with social and humanitarian reforms.

Unless we do something about these issues the divide between the haves and have nots will only get wider, to the detriment of all.Voting the same way, year after year, will only ensure that we keep getting the same leadership model. Come on Lyne, we deserve better.
