How's Your Government?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Currently our federal government is doing nothing. There is an election due in the next couple months and they are basically just holding out until then because everything they do makes people like them less. They're only in it for themselves. Everyone's predicting then to be wiped out at the election and I hope it happens! They've been useless, changed leaders 3 times by backstabbing each other and purposefully messed up stuff like our internet service. Internet speeds in Australia are terrible compared to the rest of the world. The previous government had a plan to fix this and give everyone 100Mbps but the new government cut it back so much that some people now have worse speeds than they did before, and you're forced to switch to the new service. So my mum for example was getting 15Mbps before for $60 a month and now has to pay $70 for 8Mbps. It's pretty ridiculous! The reason they did this? Murdoch didn't want Netflix and other streaming services to be able to compete with his extremely expensive cable service here. If you get on his bad side, you can expect to be smeared in all the newspapers and there's no way you'll be winning the next election... Our government also doesn't believe in climate change and tried to stop gay marriage being legalised, which hopefully gives you an idea of how backwards they are but I won't go into that xD

On the other hand, our state government is doing a great job, doing a lot for public transport, renewable energy and even legalising euthanasia for terminally ill people. They could be better in some areas but I'm pretty happy with how they're going.
