He opined that they were more interested in introducing themarket to the people. They thought that the private sector would do everything right and theypresented themselves as the ‘neo-Cons’ rather than promoting peace after the 9/11 incident. Theyhad created the NHS that opened a huge opportunity for public services and mixed their idealismwith realism.On the contrary, Whitlam has expressed his own experiences and views about the publicservices (Haynes 2015). He has said that their ambition was to build a good government inAustralia. They had the national responsibility of the aborigines on their shoulders and give theman opportunity to earn their livelihood.

Manyoppressive situations are created when the race for controlling the political regimes are offered(Gilpin 2016). The racism in gender biasness has a massive role to play on who is going tocontrol the power. This society, being a patriarchal one, has always favored the malerepresentatives on the chair rather than the female counterparts.The sex or gender is really very critical and influential in the time of gaining the politicalpowers and developing effective political relations (Connell 2014).
