Episode notes
My guest today is Emma Dawson, Executive Director of the Australian Labor Party's think tank, the Chifley Research Centre. Today we discuss:
- What the increasingly inexact and unhelpful terms, "left" and "right", mean these days as well as what she understands by the term "populist"
- How the Australian Labor Party has moved on from the Hawke-Keating-Howard era and where it has not
- Her thoughts on "liberalism" and "free trade"
- Whether it is possible to have an adult conversation about immigration in Australia
- Why young women are turning to the radical left
And much more
