This old dog is 68 since the 2013 election of the coalition government. I found  I was getting increasingly angry. My city voted the most livable in the world lost some of it charm and ambience. I needed  to bark. Oldogthoughts has given me an outlet which I never felt needed I before. The media is nothing but opinion pieces reflecting my country, my city,myself in negative terms that need to be counteracted for my benefit. If it reaches some readers and strikes a note feel free to comment, acknowledge or leave some feedback.  Topics center on issues of our current governments failures to accept Australia as a pluralistic multicultural Democracy with a generous spirit and kind nature. It’s failures to recognize it’s citizens giving priority to transnational corporations above all else. Particular criticism is also directed at news organizations that indulge in producing anything but news. Murdoch media being the most significant in Australia. Abbott and Murdoch simply want to Disrupt and Degrade Democracy together they are a Democratic Death Cult
