Finals matches are played by the rules - each team gets a go

Good politics is always practical . But practical isn't easy at the best of times. A good fair fight is often needed.
These aren't the best of times because we aren't allowed to be aggressive in a room like we are in the playground.
Worse,  the noise, if any,  is largely coming from left field and even from the audience , with some of the players who don't seem to know the rules or respect them : not even playing by the rules .( the rules were meant to be broken?)
Even our own ABCTV is playing quarters instead of full finals games ; While I love some of them ( arts Q)  the "for real ones" are often not fair dinkum ( WeatherQ is a front for climate  and Environment Q a front for political defence of popular causes )
Also , if we are going to have cultural grabs Q in 15 minutes,  let the diverse elements of our culture  write their own pieces ! Reporters are not players and neither are they umpires . Mr Mr mark Scott ----lead your team!
