Australian political debates are often rhetoric-heavy and policy-light – full of bluster and point scoring. Terms like ‘progressive’ and ‘conservative’ can seem hollow at best, and misleading at worst.

Join Richard Denniss, Veronica Gorrie and David Lindenmayer as they consider the kind of Australia a progressive government could build. Hosted by Amy Remeikis.
