Part 3/8:
A recurring theme in the discussion is the perceived decline in the quality of politicians. The participants emphasize that IQ is not a mandatory requirement to enter Australian politics, implying that many lack the necessary intelligence or maturity. There’s a clear disdain for what they see as mediocrity or outright foolishness among certain political figures, particularly pointing fingers at members of the Labor Party.
The critique is blunt: if politicians spend more time engaging in frivolous social media antics, they are neglecting their primary responsibilities—making impactful decisions that shape citizens’ lives. The conversation reflects frustration with what is seen as a distracted and unserious political class.
