You may have overlooked this one little fact; he isn't in govt this time.

Indeed, we could.
And remove Neo Liberalism before it does yet more damage to the entire country. And teach kids empathy in school as well as basic budgeting,cooking & gardening.
And set about building proper housing - rather than tiny cramped,dark places which are then rented for exorbitant sums. And fix, & fund our health & education systems properly, so that everyone has access to free education & healthcare, paid for with our taxes. And pay nurses sufficiently so they don't have to beetle off overseas.
And prevent extremely wealthy people from entering politics.
And end donating to politicial parties - let them hold cake stalls!
Yep, I know....
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
