Legitimacy should be based on more than wining an election.
The legitimacy of this government will continue to be
debated until the dodgy deals that were the basis for its formation are
overtaken by a public acceptance that the coalition is indeed working in our
best interests by trying to keep us safe.
No amount of posturing on the world stage will convince
those of us at home that this mob is any better at honouring that commitment
than any previous government if the evidence suggests they are simply on a
mission to satisfy the hunger pangs of their own narrow ideology.
