Description - The Wave: The People Against the Establishment by Tom Ravlic
The Australian Labor Party returned to power following the 2022 federal election with Anthony Albanese as its leader. How did the Labor machine manage to get back in after almost a decade of conservative government in Canberra? There was no one thing that brought Scott Morrison, then leader of the Liberal Party and the Coalition, down but a range of factors that sent him and his party to the opposition benches. Mishandling vaccine orders and the coronavirus pandemic, a lack of action on equality, a failure to deal with an integrity commission, a tug-of war over climate change and more spurred on a range of minor parties and independents to press harder. The Australian parliament now has a greater representation of Australian Greens and independents in the form of professional women who had a gutful of their aspirations being ignored. The Wave: The People Versus The Establishment is a collection of essays and contributions with each piece a mosaic that explains why Australians decided to vote in a manner that not only resulted in regime change but warned establishment political parties that each and every vote cannot be taken for granted ever again.
