The Briefing · Pauline booed in Perth + Pt 1: Why Chris Minns is changing cannabis laws · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

You know, pillar of civic community life, running a pretty appalling ad hominem campaign at the Victorian Premier.

I wouldn't support it as it relates to any politician or anyone in civic life.

Firstly, I think it coarsens our dialogue and you can disagree with our personal insults.

And we've been able to do that in New South Wales, generally speaking, for a long period of time.

But secondly, there'd be a lot of good people that might agree or disagree on different policy areas who just think, you know what, I just can't be bothered.

I don't want to have...

my personal life trashed and I want to be personally vilified or insulted, I won't take part.

I won't participate in democracy.

That's the worst thing for our country.

We need more people involved.

We need more views, more ideas.

We need greater engagement in democracy.

And I can understand why your average person who might have an interest in public life or a particular issue they want to prosecute says, I just can't be bothered with this crap.

I mean, look, you know, a pretty typical intervention from Hanson, probably trying to get some more media headlines off the back of that.

Yeah, probably.

I mean, what I'd say more generally is, does anyone sort of sit back and say, you know, the problem with Australia is that we should have more US style politics, right?

is that really the remedy to the country's problems?

I think one of the greatest things about our country is that you could disagree on politics, you don't hate someone as a result.

I lived in America for a while and the political debate splits workplaces, families,

mothers' groups, every aspect of life over there seems to be ripped in part based on whether you're a Democratic voter or a Republican voter.
