I was recently managing a major project with some of our Asian offices and I said offhand to one of our Malaysian people, 'You can't assume all Australians will ask the in-depth questions, look at our government.' She laughed and replied, 'Oh honey, look at OURS!'

Later we were in conference with our colleague from the Philippines and Malaysia lady recounted the conversation. Fillipino lady said nothing for a few seconds, then, 'I can't even talk about it, it's so upsetting!'

Which is why I have beome the person who says 'Read the manual! Look at the numbers! Listen to experts; they're not the elitists, the elitists are the billionaires and millionaires wanting your vote to make them money!'
