Be a statesman, PM

-

IF SCOTT Morrison wants to win the next federal election and remain PM, he has to do two things.

1. Change from a politician into a statesman.

2. Have the intestinal fortitude, and get out of the Paris Agreement, like President Trump. If he doesn’t do this, I wish him to enjoy the short tenure in the lodge.

Our politician­s must be totally crazy wanting to give $400 million away that we have to borrow. What on earth would this $400 million do for the “fake” global warming? This money would be much better spend on our struggling hospitals.

Australian­s are sick and tired of our two mainstream parties and the Labor Party’s “appendage”, the myopic Greens.

They operate like the Nazis did: “We know what is best for you and we do it without asking the voters if they want it or not”. Werner Schmidlin, Yorkeys Knob 1950: Comic strip Peanuts, created by
