At our first meeting in May, just prior to the new Budget being announced, I showed an episode of “The Hollowmen”. This spoof on politics is getting a little old, but the class found some of the lines still appropriate. The scenario had the PM worried his soon to be announced budget lacks excitement. Back in the real world our PM told us he wanted the new budget to be boring, having had too much excitement in the Senate with the previous one!
Our class remains concerned with the ravages alcohol and other drugs have on communities. Remote Aboriginal Communities featured on 4 Corners the previous night, but we could relate the issues featured to problems we know exist in Benalla and surrounding towns.
I would like to farewell Joe Solomon who joined us this year. Joe is going to move to Melbourne. We will miss your contributions Joe, all the best from the Politics class.
