Join Michael Lester from Radio Northern Beaches as he interviews Richard Denniss, economist and executive director of The Australia Institute. They discuss how political pragmatism and the pursuit of the "safe middle ground" by Australia’s major parties hinder meaningful debate about the nation’s future. Denniss’s essay, Dead Major Parties in Big Numbers, argues that this outdated centrism no longer aligns with voters’ aspirations, as trust in the two-party system wanes and complex societal issues demand fresh approaches. Tune in for insights on building a more responsive and realistic political landscape.
