Unsurprising when our government claims to be a democracy but isn’t really. Like obviously people would lose faith in democracy if you think that it’s voting for liblab despite wanting someone else, watching them be unaccountable, watching them ignore popular reforms, going to work under a dictatorship, experiencing oligarchy whenever you procure the means of subsistence etc.
Australia is not a democracy in any meaningful sense. I mean ffs you can’t even fire your member if they just lie lol.
We all live in an oligarchy mascarading as a democracy.
