My guest today is Michael Easson AM who is a businessman, historian, and former trade union leader.

Today we discuss:

• His new book on former controversial Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam and whether a reappraisal is required
• Whether Whitlam was really as radical and left-wing as is often claimed
• Whether Whitlam represented a fundamental watershed from an older nationalist version of the labour party to a new more cosmopolitan economic and socially liberal one
• What lessons Whitlam can teach us today in the age of new populist parties

And much, much more
