Yes, we had one of our pollies complaining about immigrants who simultaneously steal jobs and waste our tax money on welfare. Are you telling me he didn't even make it up? Plagiarised? Goodness!
And, yes, we have the ones who blame the previous government for everything. In Victoria, there is a former Tory Premier who sold everything not nailed down and got a major toll road arrangement going with a private company - including a promise not to improve public transport in that area and closing other routes so that drivers had to use the toll road. He is now complaining about it and blaming the current - Labor - government for costs involved. And the last Tory government we had knew they were about to be booted out, but made sure that they signed a contract with a company for a terribly expensive - and pointless - project, the East West Link, a few weeks before the election, with a deal that said company would receive huge compensation if it didn't go through. The Labor opposition had promised to scrap it. If they didn't they would be accused of breaking a promise. They did scrap it, as promised - and the opposition and their supporters have been complaining they had wasted money on the compensation. Whose fault was that again?
