Wall Street Journal op-ed: How Income Equality Helped Trump, by Phil Gramm & Robert B. Ekelund Jr.:
Frenzied rhetoric about income inequality was a larger theme in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign than in any previous American election. When the ballots were counted, however, not only did income inequality fail to move voters, but a massive shift in voting preference among lower-middle and middle-income Americans led to the election of the wealthiest president since George Washington. Now, startling new data on government spending and taxes suggests a novel explanation for this voter shift: It was a backlash against rising income equality among the bottom 60% of American household earners.
From her:
By nature, a society that forgives and rehabilitates its people is a society that forgives and transforms itself. That takes a radical kind of love, a secret of which is given in the Lord’s Prayer: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.And let us not forget the guiding principle of “the least among us” found in Matthew: that we are compelled to care for the hungry, thirsty, homeless, naked, sick and, yes—the imprisoned.

By the age of 19, friends say, she was running the Labor party office at Wyong on the Central coast and coordinating a byelection campaign, while also enrolled full-time in a social sciences course at the University of NSW.
It's the kind of prodigious energy and work ethic that early in 2016 propelled her into one of the toughest and most powerful jobs in Labor politics: that of NSW party general secretary.
This weekend, the now 31-year-old will oversee her third annual party conference as state secretary, invevitably regarded as a curtain-raiser for next month’s five federal byelections and the state and federal campaigns to come.
Murnain will be responsible for ensuring that no major embarrassments await either state Labor leader Luke Foley or federal leader Bill Shorten during the carefully stage-managed event. Wanting to keep herself out of the frame, she turned down Fairfax Media’s interview request.

"What is at the heart of the insistence on curry: the owning and the disavowing of it at the same time, in all its racialized legacies and imperial flavours, in all the ways that it searches for a genesis story and all the wonderful wanton ways in which it leads you astray in the detours of history."
