The success of Donald Trump's election campaign in the US has Australia's leaders watching closely but there are risks to importing debates from other countries.
I hope the Australian public is better than to fall for this. Though I fear we collectively are no better than the USA... somehow Abbot and Morrison were both elected after all.
With worldwide inflation post COVID it's been a shitty time for incumbent governments world wide. There's been a change of power in every single western election this year.
And the simple question the opposition can ask is: are you better off today than 4 years ago?
