'The Economist' recently criticised the Australian political scene for being a 'non-stop Punch and Judy show,' further stating that the Australian Liberal Party seems to have 'no philosophical principles at all,' with a leader who is 'above all, populist.' Mr Fraser, do you believe Australian politicians still represent the values and ethics of their constituents, or do they simply seek the populist position when debating issues crucial to the future of our nation? Should we enact reform of our political system to ensure that politicians seek to improve our nation, rather than taking populist positions which may be detrimental to the future of Australia?
