I feel this is a little bit facetious. We literally just had an election which, I think, reaffirmed how much climate matters to the average Australian, and how many people want economic security that doesn't involve digging shit out of the ground and putting it on a boat.
I will agree though that entrepreneurship does not rate highly for most people. Most just want a 9-5 they can forget about when they go home. "Hustle" culture is slowly weaseling it's way in, but it's not entrenched yet.
- andrewstuart 4y agoIn Australia an election outcome is ultimately binary. You can't draw a single conclusion about why you ended up with a 0 or 1, based on the hundreds of issues that swirl around at election time. Unless you want to of course, in which case yes you can read a win or a loss as a clear message on one of the election issues.
