ANALYSIS: The question Dutton may ask himself: What would Howard do?
Here, some pundits say the message to the major parties is that people are fed up with the politics and division. They want a kinder politics and an end to culture wars.The teals here are not so unlike the Trump supporters in the US. Yes, they want different things. They are urban, elite and less unruly. But they come from the same sense of abandonment, disillusion and desperation. The psychology is the same.
The strongman has been ascendant. Donald Trump typified that in the US; elsewhere Viktor Orban in Hungary, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Narendra Modi in India, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines have read from a similar script. These are the calculations Peter Dutton will be making. Does he play to division or try to recapture the centre?
The authors of the Uluru Statement from the Heart never intended it to be a political document but a gift to the Australian people.. Perhaps on this — like marriage equality or climate change — the people are ahead of politics.
