Do the Australian citizens not vote their politicians into the role? It hardly seems the fault of the companies to not exploit the politicians weakness. Surely such weakness would allow a more capable candidate to campaign on such a platform.

I could answer that but the explanation would be long and painfully dull.

I'll just refer you to graffiti once painted on a Besser block wall that surrounded a trotting course not far from where I live. To quote:

The Australian people are bloody-minded sheep.

It remained there for decades and no one—no even the local council—ever attempted to remove it or paint over it. Why? Because all too many know it's true.

The graffiti eventually disappeared when the wall was knocked down when the trotting gave way to high-rise apartments. I always meant to take a photo of it and I'm now kicking myself that I didn't.

I suspect that's not the reason why the graffiti wasn't removed.

Shame you weren't around when it was the subject of discussion amongst locals.
