Education Minister Alan Tudge says polling shows younger people won’t necessarily defend Australia’s democracy as previous generations have done.

“The evidence in part is already there when you look at the Lowy Institute polling which says 40 per cent of young people don’t think that democracy is the best form of government,” Mr Tudge told Sky News Australia.

“We live in the most liberal, egalitarian, wealthy society that’s ever existed in human kind. And it’s not by accident.

“And it’s not by accident, it is actually because we have inherited incredible institutions from our forebears. We’ve protected them, we’ve nourished them, we’ve improved them.

“And students need to understand where they came from so they can equally protect them, improve them and nourish them.”
