prosaic election campaign

I am bored witless by this prosaic federal campaign, bland on bland with no courage to make the bold party defining statements, safety control, cruise control and remote control all bought into play.
Abbott in reverse gear shying away from his core values, is a blancmange caricature of tough guy waving feathers at the government in an attempt to appeal to the female vote. I think if you had a close look at his push bike, it would have 1 forward gear and 6 reverse gears.
Julia is the biggest disappointment to me, I expected articulate fire and brimstone spouting ALP policy on environment, climate change and workplace equality. I have received a mish-mash of moving forward at snail's pace and prepared speeches from a bunch of advisors who are putting the proletariat into a coma like sleep.
For fucks sake we knifed heavy Kevy for a more consultative ALP and now we have nothing more than a bland focus group driven motherhood statement bunch of wankers trying to bore us into submission. I have been loyal to the ALP for 30 something years, I will still vote labor because it's in my DNA, but I am starting to get the shits with those who are pulling the strings.
Give us a break, get some gumption and go for it! Bloody hell, Christine Milne is starting to look good to me, at least she has some guts about her.
All we are getting is a few mealy mouthed promises to some nimby communities and half arsed interest groups.
Julia show me what you are made of, give me that stuff you exhibited in parliament during the education debate, give me something!
