Elephant in the Big Top
Sidestepping tricky issues in the media is a politician’s stock in trade. This year there was no shortage of complex problems to challenge political figures as they chose when and if they would be pinned down. Rising economic inequality, record bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef and Australia’s contribution to global carbon emissions all featured strongly. However the biggest ‘elephant’ was surely the irrepressible presence of Tony Abbott.
