  • Australians back their governments at times of national peril, then dump them when it's over. Who will they blame in 2025?

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the dynamics of trust during and after crises, focusing on how trust is built and subsequently broken. It explores the psychological and social mechanisms that lead to increased trust in authorities and communities during emergencies, such as natural disasters or pandemics, where people often rally together for mutual support and survival. However, the piece also delves into the aftermath, where trust can erode due to perceived failures in leadership, unmet expectations, or the revelation of previously hidden issues. The article cites examples like the handling of the COVID-19 crisis, where initial trust in government responses gave way to skepticism and disillusionment over time due to various missteps and policy failures. It also touches on the role of media, misinformation, and the importance of transparency and accountability in maintaining or rebuilding trust post-crisis.
