I wonder if she will end up quitting federal politics before she achieves anything significant. I watched her Australian Story episode again recently, which was shot in the wake of the referendum result when she was very much on the rise and before any of her political failures. Even back then, the strain on herself and her family was referenced quite a bit. Since then she’s been a bit of a trainwreck and she has burnt a lot of internal bridges without advancing the Coalition’s position. Her career was in the performing arts (music and kids entertainment) until her mid-30s, and she still has connections to that life through her partner who is a musician, so I wonder how long she can continue to ignore those parts of herself and pursue politics if it’s not working and is hurting her family. I guess the money is a lot better in federal politics, though, and it usually leads to cushy post-politics jobs as well.
