A VIEW OF POLITICS by Christopher Di-Filippo Deciphering Politics Refuge of a different voice = (equals) an apology in motion. Our policy has always been – (minus) the previous government = (equals) individual fascism. Economic indifference2 (squared) = (equals) households held hostage to policy sinkhole. Plagiarism of minority interests + (plus) neglect of unfunded promises/ (divided by) overburdened taxpayer – (minus) fair go excise. = (equals) trust fund for marginal seats. Voters disillusionment (occurs when): Two party preferred vote < (less than) independent grandstanding OR Watered down legislation > (greater than) Royal Commission logic OR Front page article >= (greater than or equal to) truly unbiased opinion. Hold the Flag Was there a voice before – before they came, or was the land always silent. Don’t move the flag, it holds together this great nation, providing shade for our labours, and a place to plant tomorrow. That’s why they built the fence, to grow a country; it kept us together, and maybe kept us apart, both from our friends here and our neighbours across the sea. But their words still stood – mateship, fair go, battler; none were in law, but they still meant something. They knew the worth – the worth of the land, which was as much the worth of the people; their hands knew the dirt, and they built to a promise. That’s why they picked a voice, one that mattered, to be heard through the hardship, when the days yearned for better, to feel the sun’s affection, and know the drought in choice. But did they hear all the voices – the ones before; the voice of the land, a country that saw different, losing identity, as the soil was dug. They are all part of the story, and the long years remember – but the flag is still standing, it’s been standing for a long time now; and that’s a good thing, it shows there’s meaning, and something more, a nation, which is worth the ache, as long as we share the voice together.
