This is part of a major series called Advancing Australia, in which leading academics examine
the key issues facing Australia in the lead-up to the 2019 federal election and beyond.
Around the world, democracies are distrusted by a majority of their citizens – the 2018 Edelman Trust
Barometer puts the figure at 80%.
Australia has not proved immune to the politics of democratic malaise. Australia’s leading
institutions, including government, business, NGOs and media, are among the least trusted in the
world at a time when Australia has experienced 27 years of economic growth.
The level of democratic satisfaction has decreased steadily across each of the last four governments
from 86% in 2007 (John Howard), to 72% in 2010 (Kevin Rudd), 72% in 2013 (Tony Abbott) and
41% in July 2018 (Malcolm Turnbull).
By 2025, if current trends continue, fewer than 10% of Australians will trust their politicians
and political institutions. The result will be ineffective and illegitimate government, and declining
social and economic well-being. Whoever wins the 2019 federal election must address this problem
as a matter of urgency.
[...]
This also creates the space for the rise of authoritarian-populist forces or other forms of
independent representation. Hence the rise of populists such as Pauline Hanson and independents
such as Cathy McGowan and Kerryn Phelps.
[...]
Our 2018 Trust and Democracy in Australia survey discovered a strong appetite among
Australian citizens for a range of democratic reforms aimed at solving both supply-side and demand-
side trust problems.
Survey respondents were asked to rate to what extent they agreed or disagreed with a number
of statements on the topic of democratic reform drawn from across the political spectrum and
featuring in reform programs internationally.
There was very strong support for democratic reforms that ensure greater integrity and
transparency. Examples included limiting how much money can be spent on election campaigning
and how much political parties and candidates can accept from donors (73%).
[...]
Democratic reform is ultimately about creating a space where Australians can reshape their
democratic practices in ways that are better suited to the realities and challenges of the 21st century.
The good news for political parties that take up the cause of democratic reform is that the citizenry is
ready to take up the challenge.
