Jennifer and Jacques unpick what is happening in the Australian electorate with some big shifts in community sentiment and voting trends, such as a move to One Nation and the demise of the National-Liberal Coalition.
They argue that the changing voting patterns are not temporary anomalies, but a response to the inequity that has grown over several decades of market-rules neoliberalism. As argued by Kim Carr, former Labor Senator, governments need to restore people's confidence in democratic institutions that can deliver economic security and fairness.
