Over recent months I have spent considerable time talking about and exploring the need for truth from leaders. The more recent events with our political scene in Australia have dismayed me - will we ever have anyone who tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth? How are our young people supposed to learn about the importance of truth? Big T truth I have learned from a fabulous colleague needs to be differentiated from divulging/dumping and avoiding - it is the hard cold truth - facts and feelings.
This is what sets a courageous leader apart - they tell the truth and can be consistently relied on to tell the truth and not to manipulate the facts and feelings to fit with their needs. I wish someone could tell us Big T Truth about the proposed super profit tax on the mining industry for example so we could all make informed decisions about our future - super profits go to the shareholders and are the major shareholders of our mining companies residing in overseas countries - so Big T truth would the proposed tax really have hurt Australians or rather just the returns CEOs could provide to their shareholders thus earning them wonderful performance bonus payments? Will we ever know the truth?
Will we ever know the truth about our economy - yes Liberals provided us with a great surplus - great bottom line but what was the Big T Truth about the cost of such a strategy - how much funding was really taken away from our education system and medical system? Will we ever know?
We desparately need more courageous leaders to tell the Big T Truth!
