thanks tibi for contributing more thoroughly – appreciate it bruh. i brought the point of asking you if you knew any of the politicians personally, as a provocative reflection of the general public’s critical reaction to others, even though they are presented with something that doesn’t come close to helping fully understand the person. it happens everywhere, including the internet, with too many vague and harsh reactionary comments such as “candidate x sucks, stupid person y, doesn’t have a clue person z,” etc.
to understand where I’m coming from, i have a privilege which allows me to witness the internal functions of all tiers of government (local, state and federal) and i work closely with some ministers; i notion the skewed misrepresentation of all politicians and state ministers by the media’s style of communication – it is at odds with how they are more intimately – their high position is a clearer measure of their attributes, and their potential. this is something that is not entertained by the popular media – case in point, lynne kosky, former victorian public transport minister: by all accounts to those who have worked with her, she is an excellent individual. however, was cursed with managing the politically insalubrious public transport portfolio, which makes her easy prey for the newspapers and tv stations. we have our own public affairs branch at work to monitor 24/7 what is said about the department and manage what happens afterwards, all at the mercy of the folly created by commercial outside interests.
also, don’t get too confined with the words ‘tv edits.’ i wasn't explicitly referring to what the media directly decides what is or isn’t broadcasted, but more or less the style in which information is passed to viewers through the tv screen. it is designed to attract mainstream interest; people love watching something that features a hero and a villain. the concept of a debate or a q&a sets this up immaculately, as does an election. general opinions tend be formalised very feebly. people feel that the luxury of accessible media is enough for them to avoid answering the harder questions for themselves and a simple one hour presentation is enough to completely embrace or dismiss political efforts which are highly complex and ongoing.
i’ll respond to points about population growth and the environment later on.
