Australia may become an essential outlier. Some influential Australians now call for moderation and “centrism”. To my mind, this would be a grave mistake. While attracted to having more collaboration and courtesy in political life, “centrism” is more like a tape measure that can be used to settle on a midpoint between two dubious policies.
What is the “centrist” position on the climate catastrophe, killing children in war zones, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, corruption, torture, the death penalty, cruelty to refugees? We need far more courage, not less...( Barry Jones)
