Description
The Liberal Party has never been an ideological party. The contrast with Labor could not be clearer. And yet it was only by presenting himself as leading a party little different from the Liberals that Kevin Rudd was able to win the November 2007 election. Government in Australia is in a mediocre state. The delivery of core services by the states--for example, public hospitals, water and transport--is too often appalling and rarely of a standard that was the norm four decades ago. In too many areas, little has been added to the stock of infrastructure built up by past generations. The solution is not in the management of these services being based in Canberra, nor in the federal government moving into new areas. Too often this has led to a serious deterioration in quality, as with general medical practice and the universities.
