RE: Jacinta Allan: The Federal Labor Problem Child

Policies perceived as imposed from above, insensitive to rural contexts, and lacking participation are recently massacring citizens. I live in Europe and have been impoverished for years. They talk about a green deal, but I no longer have the money to buy a car. I think the article highlights a real and important issue: the difficulty of reconciling regional-scale infrastructure projects (such as renewable energy or emergency services) with local needs, especially in rural areas. While it's true that a government must pursue objectives such as the energy transition or the efficiency of public administration, it's equally true that without serious dialogue with the affected communities, there's a risk of alienation and mistrust. Excellent post and excellent topic.
