The charities and not-for-profit sector could learn much from the failure of the Coalition to win government at Saturday’s federal election writes Community Council for Australia CEO David Crosbie. Politics can be brutal and unforgiving. And maybe that’s the way it should be when we’re talking about the capacity to shape our nation.
