Don't be fooled

This LNP Government is tricky, deceitful and morally lacking.

The Labor Government wasn't a lot better in some cases.

Hence why so many minor parties and independents were voted in, both major parties are as bad as each other and their people well and truly make a mockery of the term "honorable member".
