Downunder

Here I am.


Back in my old room..
alone with laptop on my lap, covering self with warm doona, iTunes on nonstop.
mind's contemplating aimlessly.

The House.

there's been raving media coverage on inagauration of the newly elected members of house of representatives.

Newspapers have shown images of these new members taken their 'job' down to the aid of sleeping beauty.

It's not so surprising that majority of them wouldn't be so concern about and for the People.

It's not being skeptical to our 'changing' nation's politics, but it came from a very true fact. An insider fact.

Someone very close has been elected as house of rep. And his wife bluntly speaks 'Alhamdulillah, at least for the next 5 years we could get salary and husband only busy for the first month so I don't need to move so faraway out of Java island.'

That translates: I'm getting the people's taxes for my benefit. My hubby only needs to be far for a mere month, while the rest he can be with us in Java, relaxing and receiving salary.'

Although I don't blame them. He was someone important in the Police force. OK, understandable he needs post-retirement activity and salary to feed wife and young kids. He is somehow still has power in the force, so he's slightly eligble to be in the House. Although his interest is never about or for the People. I understood his reasons.

But not for younglings under 25 yo to be elected as members of the House. Out of college with no play in politics or have had any hands-on experience in the society. He won only by splurging daddy's dosh up to billions. Play visits and rubbing hands to major sweet talks made him a winner. Their interest, up to my understanding, is and never was about or for the People but only to their mounted balance deposits.

The latter members of the House don't surprise me. I find them as unfading history.
