However what we (as aussies) can do is to speak up en-masse whenever we see our "leaders" do something wrong. We used to hold loud protests and be interested in what was happening around us. Today we see barely a reaction whenever something which is so blatent and wrong we dont even raise an eyebrow.
Our fighting spirit is gone.... (a glimmer of that old spirit was shown during the brissy floods during clean up!)

I think the days we had a lot of protesting was only due to unions pushing their own agenda, as they spun a lot of nonsense to there dopey members.
I think the unions have gone into hibernation nowadays and there is a good reason to do so, as they are set to come back stronger then ever due to the foolishness of simplistic ignorant liberals.
