When we were proud of Australia and believed in our future | The Mainstream S1E8

Share this edition:

See below for show notes:

The Institute of Public Affairs’ Daniel Wild and John Roskam discuss the shadow minister for Home Affairs, Andrew Hastie’s, intervention into public debate about the future of the Australian way of life, and why more debate, and more voices is critical.

Daniel and John also discuss the decline of wokeism in Australia, and how the Labor Party understands the political consequences of this better than the Coalition. They both look at The Greens-run Senate Committee into shutting down debate on net zero and climate change; and the latest polling showing young Australians are proud of Australia and reject identity politics and political correctness.

The Mainstream with Daniel Wild and John Roskam is a podcast of the Institute of Public Affairs.
