Show Notes
Democracy Counts report from the McKinnon Foundation uncovers widespread distrust in Australias political system, with over half of surveyed individuals feeling unrepresented. The study reveals concerns about misinformation, foreign interference, and outdated lobbying rules, blaming social media for spreading false information. Australians express strong apathy towards leaders, with regional areas feeling the most neglected. Support for reforms is high, including truth-in-advertising laws, civics education, and an independent body to combat disinformation. Advocates suggest these changes could help major parties reconnect with voters before protest options grow.
