My guest today is Robert Forsyth, a fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney and host of the podcast "Liberalism in Question". Rob also a former Anglican Bishop.

Today we discuss:

• The new book from the CIS called "Resilient Liberalism: Classical Liberal Thought in Australia" and I ask why liberalism in his view is coming under criticism
• We have a spirited debate on trade policy and whether there is need for reassessment
• We also discuss the relationship between Christianity and liberalism, whether they are in conflict with each other, and the extent to which Christian values are liberal values
• Whether political conservatism is properly understood in Australia and the extent to which the Hawke-Keating-Howard era policy framework needs to change

And much much more
