Australia Fair: Listening to the Nation: Quarterly Essay 73 by Rebecca Huntley
3.0
An interesting read of the (misplaced?) optimism and revival of ALP's social democratic values in Australian life if Bill Shorten had won.
"What I love most about Australians … [is] their capacity to learn and change. We are all travelling, learning, growing. Whether we’re conscious of it or not, we’re on our way from something to something else. And along the way, we tend to ditch bad ideas and pick up better ones. Most often these changes are incremental, barely felt. Sometimes they’re traumatic. But the thing I remind myself of is that we do move on.We change. We’re actually pretty good at it."
