“Probably the most important issue facing our country, our constitutional arrangements, our democracy, is that the people of Australia, the voters of Australia, seem to have lost a sense of trust in the institutions of government and the people in those institutions,” she said.
“If we survive – and when we look back on this period, which is being called a lack of social cohesion, or polarisation, or the rise of populism in politics and that is resulting in racism increasing again, and resulting in antisemitism and Islamophobia – the fact that the governor general is saying it is a crisis and we need to do something about it, could be seen as one of the most significant acts ever taken, I believe, by an Australian governor general for the good of Australia.”
