Politicians, promises and delivery

Throughout my adult life, I have tried to live with the offerings of politics in a way that focuses on issues rather than personalities, on the quality of messages rather than the messengers.

So much of our political system, not only in the NT but Australia-wide, is strong on distorting what opposition politicians say by denouncing and criticising them as people – thus muddying their messages.

Sadly, all political parties, whether in government or opposition, are intense on messaging but very short when delivering outcomes.

Our political system is strewn with broken promises.
