Commanding the narrative newsletter 18
This week I did a podcast with my good friend, Katy McCallum.
We focused on the recent drama in the Senate, where Fatima Payman accused Pauline Hanson of racism, while shrieking and losing her composure. This was followed by Lidia Thorpe ripping up paper and throwing it at the One Nation leader.
It adds to the reckless behaviour we have seen in the Senate over the years, which currently hosts a collection of volatile personalities.
Is this the Parliament Australia deserves?
They seem pre-occupied with grandstanding, profile building and settling personal scores, rather than focusing on how to best represent the Australian people.
What is worse, the majority of Australians are completely switched off from politics and are surely unaware of what took place.
With greater political engagement, we can find better candidates. Australians are a great people and surely we can find much better.
The first step is for people to get involved and to stay involved!
We can win, if we keep up the fight. With perseverance, we will prevail.
Until next week, stay active and never back down!
Many thanks,
Steven Tripp
