Every time someone criticises the quality of our politicians, conservatives fire back with ‘but the country’s still a mess.’
What mess exactly?
Australia has universal healthcare. Free public education. A minimum wage. Compulsory superannuation. One of the highest standards of living on earth. We are not at war. We are not in famine. We are not living under authoritarian rule.
By virtually every global measure, Australia is one of the best countries on earth to be born into. That didn’t happen by accident.
Are there real challenges? Yes. Housing affordability is a genuine crisis. Cost of living is hurting people. Those are legitimate issues that deserve real policy responses.
What they don’t deserve is being weaponised by people who have no intention of solving them.
Because ask yourself — when did you last hear Hanson or One Nation offer an actual successful, budgeted policy solution to housing? To cost of living? Not a grievance. Not a target. An actual successful policy.
Their entire business model is convincing you the country is a disaster so you stay angry enough to vote for them. Scared people don’t ask hard questions. Trump still has “concepts of a health plan” -while the entire country can’t afford healthcare.
Every foundation that makes Australia great was built by progressive governments, opposed at every turn by conservatives.
Medicare. Superannuation. The NDIS. The minimum wage. The National Apology. The two biggest back-to-back budget surpluses in history after inheriting a trillion dollars of Liberal debt.
A decade of Coalition government gave us Robodebt. Sports rorts. A delayed national integrity commission. And a senator found guilty of racially vilifying a PhD engineer.
The country isn’t a mess. But we will be when the people running it have no idea what they were doing
