Part 7/8:
Although I do not expect an exact return to the idealized 60s, 70s, and 80s in Australia, I consider the signs of awakening among young people to be encouraging. They seem to recognize the difference between radical activism disguised as environmentalism and genuine advocacy. Contrasting various labor leaders, I find a sense of relief in emerging figures like New South Wales' Chris Minns and South Australia's Peter Malinauskas, who echo the practicality of past leaders like Bob Hawke, rather than the agenda-driven leadership seen in figures like Daniel Andrews.
