b'At a time when politics seems increasingly negative and our society hopelessly divided, Rebecca Huntley believes we\\u2019re more fortunate than we think, and have more in common than we know. While many of our politicians are becoming more conservative, both in their policies and their ambitions for the country, the Australian people \\u2013 almost all of us \\u2013 want to see real social change, she says. We are more generous and more progressive, and more alike, than we think we are \\u2013 and we are better than our day-to-day political discourse would suggest.'
