Quotes by George Megalogenis  (?)

“journalists fea their loss of authority in the digital age will undermine their ability to hold government to account. Yet the government has much more to worry about because the internet has empowered vested interests, and Oppositions, in a way that effectively cancel an election result within weeks of the final ballot being counted. p236”
George Megalogenis, Balancing Act: Australia Between Recession and Renewal

“Genuine change, in the national interest, comes about only when a government forces its rusted-on supporters to give something up — as the coalition did on guns, and Labor did on protection.”
George Megalogenis, The Longest Decade

“Democracy was a terrifying concept for the old world of Europe, and even the new world of North America, where income inequality was rife. The finest minds of the nineteenth century warned against giving the vote to the workingman, for fear of mob rule or the tyranny of the majority.”
George Megalogenis, Australia's Second Chance: What our history tells us about our future
