Combatting climatre change demands WW2-like national unity

Donald Trump has turned the Republican Party
upside down by appealing directly to the voters
 and rejecting many of
the principles of the party that he will represent.

Here in Australia, we continue to witness the negative consequences of factional party politics and the corruption of good government by the money of vested interests. The Australian community is disaffected and relatively uninvolved in the decisions which will determine our future.

And yet we urgently need a government that can take firm decisions, supported by the population, about a number of issues that are being largely ignored.
