🗳️ Exploring Civic Engagement in Australia Civic awareness and engagement are vital indicators of a healthy democracy, influencing how individuals connect with societal issues, trust in government, and belief in their ability to shape political decisions. The report, "The Civic Health of Australia: A National Portrait in 30 Charts," developed by the Australian Leadership Index and OurVoice, highlights the significant decline in civic engagement across the nation. Authored by Samuel Wilson, Eddie Kowalski, and Vlad Demsar, and powered by the Menzies Foundation, the report underscores the urgency of addressing these challenges to strengthen our democratic fabric. Key Findings: 👉Distrust in Politics: Many Australians feel disengaged from politics, believing the current system doesn’t allow for meaningful participation. 👉Simpler Forms of Engagement: Australians often prefer signing petitions over more active participation, such as attending protests or marches. 👉Dissatisfaction with Democracy: There has been a significant decline in satisfaction with democracy, coupled with a steep drop in trust in politicians, political parties, and institutions, reinforcing a perception that governments serve self-interests over the public good. It's time to rebuild trust, encourage active civic engagement, and strengthen social cohesion to create a more resilient democracy. 📊 Access the full report: https://lnkd.in/gNF7NBCg 🎧 Access podcast: https://lnkd.in/gAJ8THyz ____________________________________________________________________________ As the Menzies Foundation continues to work with our collaboration partners to strengthen the interconnected pillars of Community Narrative, Culture and Infrastructure, Capability, Governance and Capital, and Robust Democracy, this report provides a vital context for our ongoing efforts to support communities in reimagining their collective responsibilities and fostering a more engaged, resilient citizenry. ____________________________________________________________________________ #civichealth #civicengagement #publictrust #democracyinaction #australianleadership #leadershipforchange #socialcohesion
