Political Debate in Australia - A Whimsical View

This stems from reading comments in newspapers like The Australian. They reminded me of a song my parents introduced me to. It's been a fav ever since. The song is: 

Jethro Tull; Living in the Past. 

And so, a selective snippet of the lyrics with a couple of descriptives added.

We'll go walking out (As the Abbott "will be back, Abbott will be back" deserters did and they are still chanting this from the sideline) 

While others shout of war's disaster. (These are the wise ones who can see the alternative and the result of destruction from within=Labor back in power & a basket case for a senate. But still the deserters throw hand grenades; supporters and MP's alike) 

(Thus enters the DelCon chorus) 
Let us close our eyes,  (Well they do say ignorance is bliss) 
Outside their lives go on much faster. 

Oh, we won't give in,
We'll keep living in the past.

Oh, we won't give in,
Let's go living in the past.

Oh, no no we won't give in,
We'll keep on living in the past. 

Meanwhile a substandard corrupt Labor grows stronger. The dissidents scream louder and the destruction continues. Keep it up and we all go down with the ship. As we know those who live in the past struggle with reality, they really can't accept change and are totally oblivious to the impact of their actions. 

You simply can't go back.
