As I wrote in 2018
“But when all is said and done and November comes and goes, we will still be here, trying to rebuild a community left devastated by unrelenting attacks on its character. We will continue to pay the price in small ways and big ways.”

“When voting is done, and political careers are secured or lost, when the journalists put down their “pens” and head to their families..,and when the publishers are onto the next story, the scars from this episode of moral panic will still be carved into our lives.”

The Victorian election and the politics of fear https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/opinion/topic/2018/11/24/the-victorian-election-and-the-politics-fear/15429780007185?utm_source=tsp_website&utm_campaign=social_mobile_twitter&utm_medium=social_share
It is great to read these comments from Mr Turnbull. It feels like a little redemption. It is also hurtful. Someone should have stood up at the time. Politics of fear is politics that harms and harm deeply and widely.
