Peter Costello in the holiday spirit
Yes, the holiday season is well underway and people can be heard singing "the twelve days of christmas", but there is no escape from the proverbial mudfight that is politics. It is in every way dirty, messy and a little bit fun. But won't somebody think of the children?
All those kids out there struggling to pay off their $30,000 HECS debt (Higher Education Contribution Scheme). Yes, by upping the price of learning, they can liberate money, but then it goes into the superannuation scheme, which I am very much looking forward to. Would free education be an adequate trade-off for super? You tell me.
Whilst this story was very interesting to me - as a University student - I couldn't help but consider the personality differences between the two angry men. They're both such interesting people, and while Rudd is a high school dux and the realisation of white and nerdy, Costello seems more driven by revenue than national interest. Whichever side you take, neither person is very festive.
And that's when I came up with the most marvellous solution:
In December, should Parliament house be decorated with tinsel and the politicians dressed like Santa and his elves?
