THIS LITTLE

PHDUCK. 

Has been pecking away at ethical order and natural human decency for the past 42 years since Bankers were allowed to unapologetically screw the fully loaded market with high interest rates back in the 1980s.

This journey occurred following a disaterous and extremely disappointing experience with the former leader of the National Party Ian Sinclair who announced in the company of Ralph Hunt, then Minister for Gwyder and Wal Murray then leader of the National party in NSW following his Sydney office instructions to three of us who had travelled to his sydney office following a well attended meeting of concerned citizens held at Jerilderie also attended by guests, the late Rick Farley CEO for the National Farmers Federation & well know agricultural lobbist Neil Innall. 

"Get out there in the bush and tell the electorate to write to me and I will take your complaints to the Bankers and see what we can do to address the crippling interest rates that we know are paralising the national rural community". 

Well weeks later as a delegate representing Riverina whilst attending the annual Conference of the National Party, being held at the Rex Hotel in Canberra where I had spent the day watching in sheer inexperienced amazement as state representatives bartered and traded favours, deals and questionable price negotiated agreements. 
All a daunting realisation and exposure to the behind the scenes inner sanctum of political stakes, beneficiaries and policy makers.

At the bar with above mentioned "Big Wigs" after the days trading I asked Ian Sinclair if our endless efforts across the country had created any effective impact and if people had made contact with his office.

Was my naively reply?
 

Only to be told;

That was the day I discovered politics, hammered my glass on the bar & left forever. 

That was the day.
PHDUCK
WAS BORN FROM PAIN. 
THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED.

CERTAINLY
AWAKENED TO THE CYNICISM OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS.
YES
DUCK SEASON HAS SEEN "THE TIRED" FINALLY TURNED.

LETTING THE RABBIT OUT OF THE BAG
