ICYMI: There is a trust deficit in Australian politics
McKell Institute executive director Sam Crosby has taken an in-depth look at how much we trust our politicians. He came to the conclusion that "there are currently two leaders on offer to Australians, and we don't really trust either of them". He says leaders should look to former prime minister John Howard and US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders if they want to gain voters' trust
