Politics is NOT a sport.

I am so completely irked by the people who sit back on their derrière's and let our government of the day do things that are plain and simply WRONG.

In fact there is a direct correlation between all those management and senior clergy within the faith based organisations in Australia and the Australian people. One stood by while powerless human beings, the students of their faith based education systems, were abused and traumatised by those among them in the names of their very own organisations and did nothing to help or save those human beings.

Nothing different to the citizens of Australia letting those among us who we've elected to government or who are employed as bureaucrats within our system of government abuse and traumatise powerless human beings in the name of the very country we employ to manage our resources and the land we now know as Australia. Yes our Governments are employed by us through our vote and tax dollars.

So how will we be judged for sitting back on our derrière's and putting our heads in the sand and denying any responsibility for what is happening in our names to those refugees held in detention Centres on Christmas Island, Manus Island and the plethora of other detention centres within and outside our area of responsibility?

So our inaction is tacit consent to what is being done to these human beings in our name. No plausible deniability in that, just plain old guilty of inaction with no legal stone to hide under.

And what's with this bizarre attitude of you can't criticise the government you voted for? This ain't a sport! You want loyalty to a sporting team, that's admirable. But blind loyalty to a government or a party you voted for is merely self interest, ego and ignorance all rolled into one.

I implore the citizens of Australia to get off their well nourished derrière's and be objective and use the brains and education you are so privileged to possess. STOP being lazy, conformist, heartless fools and DO SOMETHING - anything - but DON'T BE SILENT, DON'T DEFEND THE GOVERNMENTS ACTIONS JUST BECAUSE YOU VOTED FOR THEM.
