Consider, Jason, that these people are NOT their respective parties, but rather, the figureheads for those who really make the rules. These are people that we don't get to hear or see, nor did we vote for them. So, it doesn't matter whether the ALP has a female "running" the show or a male. They both will trot out the party line. Same for the Liberals. So, to get back on topic, the question that needs to be asked of both parties - what will they do about the motoring industry in Australia. Will we see continued subsidies for foreign owned corporations, or will we see them left to survive on their own devices? Of course, the latter may mean the loss of local manufacturing industries and jobs if we end up with 100 percent imports. But do the likes of GM/H, Ford and Toyota deserve taxpayer funded handups?
