Meditation on but two themes: Bullying and Power...
Senate Obstructing government or stopping bullies: what do Australians think about government control of the Senate?

Is John Howard right to call the Senate a house of obstruction, asks Shaun Wilson. A plurality of Australians prefer a non-government controlled Senate, and this is the strong preference of a large number of Australians who think government is run by for big interests. Howard says constitutional reforms like the one he proposes are notoriously difficult to pass. He is right, large numbers of Australians don’t share his views about the Senate because they don’t share his views about power.
