Like Australian cricket, Australian politics is in some turmoil. Beaten 3-0 in the first half of the ‘Ashes’ series in England, Michael Clarke’s men do not seem to have much of a chance in the next series from November in Australia. At least that much is certain. The political scene is murkier.
Like Australian cricket, Australian politics is in some turmoil. Beaten 3-0 in the first half of the ‘Ashes’ series in England, Michael Clarke’s men do not seem to have much of a chance in the next series from November in Australia. At least that much is certain. The political scene is murkier.
The ruling Labor Party, as expected, lost the general elections held on September 7 but there was no jubilation in the nation which seemed to have an equally low impact on the winning Conservative Coalition led by Tony Abbot. Never in the history of Australia had a change of government been greeted with such lack of enthusiasm. In the 150-seat House of Representatives, Abbot and his followers bagged 88 seats, the Labor 57. For the 76-seat Senate the full results are awaited. It was expected that the Conservative group would scrape through. But political analysts are disappointed at the lukewarm reception to the election results. According to them, this did not augur well for the future of democracy in Australia.
Australians, it was argued, did not bother too much about politics provided the men had enough beer to drink and the country did well in sports, particularly cricket. The national economy was not beset with many problems but the country was being pulled back due to poor political leadership. The Labor has to blame itself for its rout. For 22 years the country had escaped economic crisis and had also avoided the global crash. What brought down the party was the bitter infighting among its top leaders which included two former Prime Ministers. When such rot set in at the top, it is not surprising that the edifice collapsed.
