A Melbourne man who has argued for his entire career that Australians should get governments out of their lives is desperately trying to get the government back into his life.
Tim Wilson, 44, won pre-selection for the Victorian seat of Goldstein this weekend, after being forced to spend the past two years without Government support. “I couldn’t do it. It seems that I am completely dependent on the Government for my livelihood and my sense of self,” Wilson admitted to The Shovel.
Wilson lost to Independent Zoe Daniel in the 2022 Federal election. “I’ve been wandering around completely lost since then. Without a $200k-a-year Government paid platform to argue for reduced Government services and welfare payments, I don’t know what to do with myself. It seems I cannot exist without the Government”.
Wilson said he had learned an important lesson about the role of Government. “It’s absolutely essential. for me Don’t get me wrong. If I win my seat at the next election, I will still argue that the Government should be playing a smaller role in other people’s lives. Not mine”.
