    To acknowledge the truth of what you said but offer an explanation. It’s a fly in the ointment, if you like. No one wants to live in a low-trust society.

      Ah right.

      hmmm I don’t think trust is monolithic and noncontextual. Like we’ve produced billionaires, our society has failed economically. That doesn’t mean we have to distrust say, election officials. Or for example our police are shitbags but that doesn’t mean we distrust our doctors.

        @naevaTheRat @fosstulate Am I being overly cynical in thinking that it’s no coincidence the CEO of Woolies steps down, just as the talk of inquires and regulatory reform heats up?

        After all, if there’s a public inquiry or a Royal Commission, and the head of Woolies is called to testify, they’ll now honestly be able to say that they only just stepped into the role recently, and have no idea about the decisions their predecessor made.
