✅ Plain-language lesson
Many Australians believe the government does not listen.
Why?
-
Major parties ignore grassroots members.
-
Politicians rely on corporate donors.
-
Safe seats remove accountability.
-
Party discipline blocks independent thinking.
-
MPs vote as they are told, not as citizens ask.
-
Lobbyists decide important policies.
When people feel powerless, anger and distrust grow.
This is not accidental — it is how the system protects itself.
