There are a few things I want to get off my chest about politics. Starting at the top, I have been thinking about the Turnbull government and its malaise. What I am left with is a question and I am damned if I can find the answer to it. When we all know that they are in a parlous position, why do they let it go on, with no apparent plan to arrest its decline? At the moment they seem like sleep walkers, staggering towards an abyss, intent on going over the edge like Thelma and Louise.
