"crouching in Whitlam's shadow"
Absolutely - and well expressed!
"standing on his shoulders" requires courage, a vision, a purpose, leadership
Clearly he lacks that.
But then voters do too. Where we all should have the vision to stand on Whitlam's shoulders, voters fail repeatedly to do so

Another example of IDEOLOGY outweighing SOLUTIONS that benefit voters simply because voters once again voted for IDEOLOGY
I’m not sure how many times this has to be said!

Again Amerika delivers the lesson
Old-guard career party politicians inside the duopoly are NOT the future
Younger, community-based representatives who focus on SOLUTIONS for voters are
IDEOLOGY is simply gaslighting
Amerikan Democrats are fracturing because IDEOLOGY delivers nothing

It won't just be politicians who refused to address THE existential crisis we all face - it will be voters too
Sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who know we did nothing of substance to compel change

Gough showed that we all can be dreamers and we can all be the architect of our futures
All it needs is a vision, courage and the will to act - and not be captured by those who would rather we don't dream
Gough showed us the threats that exist but he'd be the first to say keep dreaming!

Grapple it together now as a society or .... live the consequences of social chaos and suffering later
Its a choice
What is NOT a choice is again, kicking the can down the road

A deep resonating consequence of climate inaction is - the desire NOT to have children because the future is so bleak
Think about that .. rather than talk about solutions, people are giving up. There is NO political leadership

NACC missing deliberately - and that should have told voters well before the last election, something
It is voters who have to step up
Destroy the duopoly and hose out the body politic
Move sharply to community representation
Otherwise, our democracy will die
