Localisation is a reponse to an era of intense globalisation
This response has manifested in many different ways and is driven by differing ideologies. On the most extreme level we’ve seen the emergence of nationalist groups such as Rise Up Australia. On a more moderate level we’ve seen the return of ‘quarantine culture’ through the pandemic, where the government has re-introdced isolationist policies in some sectors. In its mildest sense localisation has illustrated how Australians are seeking more of a local connection to our communities and neighbourhoods.
