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.
Not meaning to be a d*** or anything but technically the backstabbing for the PM seat started with Labor in 2010. John Howard had the position for 11 years prior to Kevin Rudd taking it in 07, then Julia Gillard stabbed him in the back for it in 2010, then he stabbed her in the back for it again in 2013 just before Abbott took power. I can understand your disagreements over the other things but if backstabbing is a reason to not approve of the Liberal Government, Labor is hardly any better in that respect. As I said, it is fair enough everything else, I just think that statement is a little one sided given the circumstances.

Just sayin'.
