Isn’t Democracy diversity and any effort to undermine that drift to Autocracy? It’s not about trust in government it’s about trust that the elected government appointed by the people acts for all the people and not just the interests of its backers alone. Diversity isn’t division and is expected in a healthy Democracy. The division is when those elected fail to do their job democratically and don’t recognize the voices of those that didn’t vote for them and simply say Nope Nope Nope. Trust slumped but in which government and why?

A global survey finds Australia could be on path towards polarisation, with more people believing the divides in our society are not able to be fixed.
