Comment on Former Prime Minister Paul Keating on the dismissal
sola@aussie.zone 1 week agoI hold a similiar position without the contempt. To many layers of government with things like States being a concept of a distance past. With modern communication, the need for geographic divisions is unnessary. I have 5 or more members who represent me geographically(council,state lower, state upper, federal lower, federal upper) that is too many.
Also I don’t have high opinion of Keating either, just another neo-liberal who made life harder for the generations after boomers.

Are you from Canberra or the NT? Because if not, you have 13 members who represent you geographically in the federal Parliament alone.

That is why I added the “or more” as I thought there to be more but wasn’t motivated to look it up.
As for the contempt I as referring to Paul not yourself. I prefer less hierarchy not more so I agree with the concept of not having a senate but acknowledge it seems to be working mostly fine at the moment.
I watch that constitution professor from time to time because you posted her channel so time ago, thanks for that.
