We’ve learned that ignoring the hip pocket is a grievous mistake. Australia could benefit from a courageous reset of economic and social policy Wouldn’t it be nice, as the Beach Boys sang, if the US midterm election results represented a return to kindness? It would be a fitting closing of the circle, given that Hillary Clinton campaigned on a “love Trumps hate” platform in 2016. It certainly didn’t back then, and I doubt it did two weeks ago despite the Democrats being quick to claim the results as a return to civility and care.
