So what, we have a good healthcare system compared to most countries, should we just give up and not expect any better from the powers that be?Another raider busted... Tom Starling.
Perhaps I have been sheltered, certainly never in trouble with the law, but I don't like the negativity towards our police. I am thinking for those who think they are terrible.. compared with what?
One of the benchmarks on the health of a country is the reliability of the police force, travel in a country where you can bribe them to get what you want and they need 'facilitation' to make a good living you might have a different perspective. A lot of the world is like that.
I grew up in Fitzgerald enquiry era Brisbane and understand an individual experience could be terrible, but I would lump criticism of the police in the same basket as the claim that Australia is a racist country. You can say that..
but compared with what?
