The leadership garbage continues...what really needs attention.

People say today's news is tomorrow's fish n chip paper.  Never had that been more true when you consider the Australian and NZ media won't let the leadership crap go.

Now they're saying Foreign Minister Julie Bishop should be the leader instead of Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

How about no. 

The Liberals were elected in 2013 fairly and squarely and it seems journalists have forgotten that.

Prime Ministers are never going to be loved by everyone and people need to realise that we are talking a $1 trillion economy and you can't treat that like an after school job.

A New Zealand journalist, at a joint press conference with NZ PM John Key asked Tony Abbott doesn't just stand down.  The question not only shows a lack of understanding of the importance of the position.  It also mitigates the day that voters have.  Let's not forget there are people in Australia who don't even have the right to vote and these discussions undermine democracy and peoples say.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott may be unpopular amongst certain groups and that's fine but he hasn't committed a crime.  The only time a Prime Minister should be overthrown and booted out is if they've committed a crime or lose an election.

If you don't like Abbott, that's okay but this is why we have elections every three years.  If it's the Liberal party's policies you don't like that's fine too.  Write a letter to your local MP if you aren't allowed to vote, or join a party if you'd like to influence policy.

Politics is also not a popularity contest.  It's about running the country and doing what's best for it and sometimes decisions will be made that are unpopular.  What's amazing is that while Abbott and Treasurer Joe Hockey were being criticised for their proposed tax reforms which may see GST increased, journalists never asked why 32.5% taxation kicks in for every dollar earned over $37,000.  Nobody living in Australia today would think that is a large amount of money, so shouldn't our taxation levels reflect the current wages and cost of living?  Rather than mocking and criticising the individuals in Government shouldn't they be looking to the future and focusing on ensuring we prosper.  We can hardly do that if we are being overtaxed because the mainstream media are wetting themselves over silly things that don't actually affect us.  High taxation does.  Where is the outrage about an outdated tax system?
