This a worthwhile read by Alex Fein, particularly for anyone who is politically progressive, interested in how power works, unsatisfied by current party options, and still believes in better politics in Australia.

“People do not trust anyone in power: not politicians, not business, not the media. But while they expect business and media to prioritise the bottom line, they still expect government to take care of them, to regulate for the common good. That expectation, battered as it is, persists.

Australians are not polarised. We all want the same thing. And whoever works that out first and communicates it at scale has the chance to reshape Australian politics.”
