## The Problem We Can't Ignore

Australian democracy faces a crisis of legitimacy. Trust in politicians sits at historic lows. Permanent campaigning rewards short-term thinking. Major parties remain captured by vested interests. And everyday Australians—the people who live with the consequences—are sidelined from decisions about their future.

@abcfeeds just putting this here. How long will it take for some of few left leaning #liberals to jump and become #teals. To be honest I don’t think there are many left. #timwilson isn’t a moderate no matter what people try to say.

Australia’s key ally has gone rogue – and Trump has us expertly wedged. We need a plan B

Zoe Daniel is a "Teal Independent" who made history by beating former Federal Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, to become the Federal Member for Goldstein. He couldn't read the room; she can. Zoe Daniel also has extensive experience as a foreign correspondent for the ABC. I think that combination of considering local and global matters gives her excellent insights.

Zoe Daniel's insights in this article are well worth your time, in my opinion. She deftly shows the interrelationships between Trump, Trumpism, Peter Dutton, and Dutton's mindless mimicry of Trump when he talks about DOGE and DEI. Zoe Daniel wants you to think about our values and history, and the regional implications for ANZUS, AUKUS, Five Eyes, NATO's slow and rudimentary action to help defend Ukraine from Russia, and more.
