Labor has brought collaboration and competence back to the table. The challenge is to harness this positive mood shift
The challenge for those of us who want to see a long-term progressive government is to harness this positive mood shift, not to pretend away these problems with a magic wand, but to own them, share them and work our way through them.
At a post-election gathering of more than 200 of these civil society leaders held in Old Parliament House last week under the auspices of the Centre for Australian Progress,in the room was infectious but not triumphant, more a steely determination to take the opportunity to work with a progressive government full of committed people ready to face these big challenges.
Are there alternate ways to bring these organisations to the table and prove value by participating in processes that don’t end with a higher target or a pay rise or a major court victory?
