Sadly though for politicians, aspiring or established, from bitter personal experience almost a year ago, discussing these things with the press leads to marginalization, ridicule and in some cases personal abuse. The press have a lot to answer for. I've found regional weeklies far more approachable than the city dailies, but the regionals don't have the readership. In effect the press dictates what the public care about, sport, self interest and greed. The average punter laps it up and the needy suffer in a silence that's deafening. Keep up the good work with posts like this.</p> <p>Cheers!</p> Hi Tim,

You’re right it’s a tragedy. Sadly though for politicians, aspiring
or established, from bitter personal experience almost a year ago,
discussing these things with the press leads to marginalization,
ridicule and in some cases personal abuse. The press have a lot to
answer for. I’ve found regional weeklies far more approachable than the
city dailies, but the regionals don’t have the readership. In effect
the press dictates what the public care about, sport, self interest and
greed. The average punter laps it up and the needy suffer in a silence
that’s deafening. Keep up the good work with posts like this.

Cheers!

I've been going around reading niche blogs and seeing how they address poverty and loving it. You're right, we need to demand an accounting from our leaders and quit asking: it's time to demand that our tax dollars are spent on programs WE support! For my part I've dugg your post, and I'm recommending your blog to an agile blogger friend of mine (if he doesn't already read it).</p> <p>Thank you again for supporting Blog Action Day!</p> Thank you for a thoughtful, well-written, and thought-provoking
