The Election Battle and 'Nicer' Politics (2022x16)

Exibido em:: Mai 26, 2022

It’s an election result unlike any other – a change in government coinciding with a shift away from the major parties and an overwhelming endorsement of female ‘teal’ independents, driven by disillusioned female voters. After three terms in Opposition, Labor is now in government, led by Anthony Albanese who has swiftly been sworn in as the 31st Prime Minister of Australia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says “the Australian people have voted for change" and his government will build a “better future for all Australians”. What do you think a Labor government mean for Australia’s future? Will they succeed in changing politics in Australia? What sway will a larger-than-ever crossbench have in shaping national policy? With David Speers in Melbourne, the panel: Amanda Rishworth, Labor Member for Kingston; Andrew Bragg, Liberal Senator for NSW; Mehreen Faruqi, Greens Senator for NSW; Monique Ryan, Independent Member for Kooyong; Alexander Downer, Former Liberal Foreign Affairs Minister.
