Unfortunately, Peter, most of these issues are not complicated; the Government simply lacks any interest in taking action. We have committees, commissions, enquiries, white papers, and all manner of well-meaning speeches, all of which provide colour and movement, but no action. I expect that things will have to get a lot worse before Australians will get angry enough to get up from their couches, turn off their TVs, and demand change from our governments.
