Nobody should take tips from a politician, but after a decade spent watching them get more and more bland, I have some suggestions.
The article by Annika Smethurst, published in The Age, reflects on her tenure as the political editor covering Victoria's Spring Street. She discusses the evolving nature of political journalism and the challenges politicians face in maintaining public trust. Smethurst critiques the current political landscape, pointing out that politicians often prioritize media management over genuine policy-making and public service. She highlights several missteps by politicians, including their focus on short-term gains, the erosion of trust through scandals, and a lack of transparency. Smethurst also notes the increasing difficulty in engaging with politicians who are more guarded and less accessible, which she believes contributes to a disconnect with the electorate. She concludes by expressing hope that future political leaders will learn from these mistakes to foster a more open, honest, and effective political environment.
