Democracy, freedom and relationships are not handed to you on a plate. These are things you must fight to retain every day. Legislation can be written. Constitutions can be enshrined and carved in stone but there is no guarantee they will be with you tomorrow These three ideals, can be eroded by neglect unless cherished. They can be taken away, unless defended. And they will become dulled, if not valued and continually improved each and every day. We must cherish, protect, and improve them each day in order to preserve them. Neglect them and they become meaningless. We have a duty of care to democracy, to ensure that the people have well informed with factually based options on which to make their decisions. Truth is at the core of Democracy. Some participants in our recent election have chosen to inflame and misinform, thereby failing in their duty of care towards democracy through acts or omissions that could reasonably be seen likely to damage the very fabric of our democratic institutions. It is no longer acceptable that political offerings can avoid scrutiny, be deceptive or misleading, or be distorted half truths and exaggerations or scandalous rumours that we have experienced that led to the Coalition victory. If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. Marcus Aurelius youtube/watch?v=o-LUYiw3q04#action=share
