It’s time to gear up for the next election cycle, with the upcoming Australian federal budget the whistle for kick-off. So what can we expect from our politicians this time around?
One thing has become a given in Australian politics: we will not be asked to think. That doesn’t mean we won’t, of course. But don’t wait for the invitation to arrive in the mail.
The last thing politicians want is for us to analyse, synthesise, infer and evaluate. We might end up insisting they do the same, or that they outline their thinking for us to evaluate.
