More than a little cognitive distortion in this article but the general drift is correct. Both sides of our neo-liberal duopoly have sold us out to global rentier capitalism. The Libs appear to be more blatant with in the way they have imposed austerity measures. Labor have been more effective fifth column agency via Hawke/Keating's 1983 Prices and Incomes Accord which decimated the union movement and led to the deregulation of the labour market. This with deregulating the banks served rentier capitalism well.
No longer 'For Sale' but sold in my opinion, thanks soley to the Libs-Nats and their like.
Labor pollies have done their share also.
@FrayedBear Yes, unfortunately they are no better, just a prettier wrapper.
@Jolanta imo the only good wrapper any have is a wooden overcoat that has been rotting for 50 years.
@FrayedBear I'd have to agree there but not for as long and as blatantly as have the Libs, etc.
@FrayedBear, @Jolanta Yes, once Labor meant and stood for something in Australia and for the people but that ended after Whitlam got knifed in the back, now, since Hawke, Keating, etc, they seem to have morphed into a pseudo-Liberal Party rabble.
It has been ffor sale since. they found coal 200 years ago.
