For a long time I've wanted, in a weak & wishy-washy sort of way, to learn about the history of my country, about how the particular kind of civilisation that I live in was formed & has evolved over time. This would mean learning about its political history, about its prime ministers. And then I'd know, for example, that Albanese's housing promises have been made many times before by his Labour predecessors.

Not many people are interested in politics. Sure, lots of people are made angry by politics, lots of people have political opinions, but nonetheless few people are truly interested in it, take the time to understand it, care about it abstractly. Fewer people still care about the political history of their country. Which is bad. Because if you know your history, you know what's been tried, promised, and lied about.
