Democracy slipping away?

News on July 1 on every TV Station revealed the unhappiness of the state of Australian society and families struggling to survive as it revealed that greed has taken over our lives by the mighty rich, especially those tycoons who encourage foreign investments who own every industry that belonged to this country. It’s quite distressing that our politicians, both sides, have not made any move to stop this invasion of Australia that so many Australians gave their lives for to stop the intended invasion during WW2.
News recently exposed the ownership of our milk production, sugar, power and mining in the hands of greedy investors who have no loyalty or commitment to this country who live many thousands of kilometres from here, which is a wakeup call to very politician enjoying the comfortable and highly paid jobs, and all their hidden perks unavailable to any other Australian voter and it’s up to them to use their voting power to make them put their needs first and those of all Australian farmers who are going broke because of this disloyal situation thrust upon them.
