As a student of Social Work, I've always had a decent amount of outrage at the way our government is behaving in our name. I've protested during the rallies last year, I've written letters to the Prime Minister and I've vigorously debated with anyone who'd listen about refugees, social services and multi-nationals.

I considered this to be a decent amount of effort until I read your book 'Not Happy John' and the chapter on Tony Abbott!! I'm a resident of Warringah and although I was never a fan of his politics I accepted the fact that the area was traditionally full of Liberal voters. What can you do?

Well, I think it's time that our area stop being represented by someone so blatently unconcerned about anyone's interests except his own! Come on Warringah: lets get someone in who will actually care about the people they are paid to represent!

NHJ! (JR): Anne, one good start-point might be to check out small-l Independent candidate Neil Francey. If he's not to your liking, try the Greens dude Ian Hehir or ALP chick Linda Beattie (if you're more the anti-PC type, you can get to her Party website here). And if all these fine & funky democratic upstanders, movers, shakers and stirrers don't grab ya either, why not check out the last election numbers to give you an idea of the odds on rolling Saint Tone yourself...
