Chris Bowen, who was to be the next Treasurer has had plenty of time to think about what went wrong and why charlatans are winning in the game of politics. Why do we continue to vote for politicians who say " I don't hold the hose mate" , or advocate we drink bleach to fight COVID? Or shut down pubs at 10 pm because you can't catch COVID after 10pm? Is an authentic politics possible after Morrison, Trump and Boris?
