That sound you hear is not the world ending – it’s liberalism being monstered | Waleed Aly

It turns out most of us no longer believe in progress. And when that happens, it quickly becomes a crisis for societies like ours Perhaps you see them in the form of tech billionaires and the artificial intelligence they’re developing. Perhaps you see them in the bin fire of social media they bequeathed us before that, or the legacy media that refuse to tell you “the truth”. You might see them in the manosphere, or the institutions teaching our kids gender fluidity. Maybe you see them in the migrant youth wielding machetes in the suburbs, or the refugee attempting to behead someone on a Belfast street.

Surprising Pauline Hanson finding emerges as Australians’ trust in politicians plunges

A surprising finding about Pauline Hanson has emerged against a backdrop of rapidly falling public trust in politicians. The New Daily reported the development, linking the unexpected result involving Hanson with a broader decline in Australians' confidence in political figures. The report highlights two concurrent trends: an unforeseen outcome connected to Hanson and a sharp drop in trust towards politicians. It does not detail the specific nature of the finding or quantify the fall in confidence, but frames the two as related developments attracting public attention. The convergence of a notable discovery about a prominent political figure and widespread scepticism toward politicians could intensify public debate about leadership and representation.

Community angle

A sustained drop in trust in politicians could alter voter behaviour and public engagement with political issues.
