Focus on real issues

PETER Lindsay moans about how Scott Morrison is treated by social media and his other critics. Let’s name them.

Today’s young who need a wealthy set of parents to get into the housing market. The children of aged care residents.

Working mothers who lose money to work full time paying for childcare, if they can find a placement. Renters paying over 40 per cent of their income on rent. Today’s youth who have just witnessed Australia burn and flood in a record way. Liberal and Labor voters who are sick of political inaction on desperately needed tax reform.

Women getting paid less than men in equivalent jobs. Women who want equal representation in parliament in the Liberal Party.

People desperate for some productivity growth so they can get a pay rise that beats inflation. Kids desperate for an apprenticeship while we import hairdressers. Parents who are still waiting for the Gonski school funding reforms. People waiting on the full enactment of the Murray Darling water reforms, which were bipartisan. People sick of party interests trumping national interest.

People sick of a media that backs this lack of performance and asks gotcha questions instead of highlighting issues.

GLENN WHITE, Kelso.
