Aussie Prime Minister not listening to the people

Politicians in Australia still don't get it. After a disastrous election for the major parties, they still won't listen to voters. The coalition only just snuck back into Government with a one seat majority in the Lower House and they lost Senate seats. hardly a ringing endorsement of their policies. The public simply doesn't trust them. It was the same in the US where long-term politicians are regarded either as crooks or as jokes and are not worth voting for so they turned to Donald Trump. In NSW The Nationals have lost their safe seat in Orange - again because of a lack of trust. An interview this morning with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull demonstrates why voters are apathetic about politicians and why so many of us turned away from the major political parties in the last election. Despite what he says, Turnbull is not listening to the people. Rather than answer questions he refused to provide details of the ‘deal’ with the US on refugees (such as how much it will cost) and simply launched into a tirade against the Opposition – that’s been typical of his responses. If he doesn’t listen to voters, the next election will be even more of a shock and he will be thankful that he has such a generous pension package.
