So there was that, I think that moment where you see her at the lectern of the press club, where you go, okay, something has clearly shifted here.

She actually spoke for quite a long time, longer than the allotted time, and then ends up taking questions from the floor.

Those exchanges, some of them were quite uncomfortable, quite terse, quite combative, in a way you don't normally see in that environment.

And I think that just kind of threw into sharp relief that we were watching a bit of a sea change.

Well, the only way of determining how a performance is going on a political level is the polling at the moment, and it seems to be going very well.

I mean, we'll see whether it evolves in a different way after this.

I don't think it necessarily will.

But it's interesting.

I mean, you pull out those phrases and they sound sort of stark when you say it.

But actually, when I...

heard that, my first thought was, well, this is pretty much what John Howard was saying.

I don't know if he used the word monoculturalism or a monoculture, but he did say we are a multiracial nation and he did take a stand against multiculturalism and he abolished the Department for Multicultural Affairs.

I think he renamed it the Department for Citizenship or something like that.

We've seen these moves before.

If it's an evolution at all, it's just that it puts it in sort of bolder terms or plainer terms.

But it's very much in line with the kind of things she's been saying.

Now, the question is, how will that land?

Here I would just caution people against drawing simple conclusions based on

The idea that, you know, Australia is a multicultural nation and it has huge amounts of immigration in its population, so over years and years and years.
