The recent investigation into the Victorian branches of the Australian Labour Party (ALP) revealed branch stacking and corruption at an 'industrial scale'. In this episode we discuss the history of the ALP and analyse what has changed, and what has remained the same. Why is it that the ALP are so decrepit? Rick Kuhn is a Marxist economist, political analyst and honorary associate professor at the Australian National University in Canberra.

Why is the Australian Labor Party so rotten? with Kath Larkin and Rick Kuhn

Jerome Small

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on workers around the world is on a scale unprecedented in living memory. In Australia, hundreds of thousands of workers have already lost their jobs, many others are working in hazardous conditions, and almost all have inadequate sick leave allowances. In the face of this, Australian-based workers and unionists are already organising resistance in their workplaces. Roz and Liam are joined by union activists Kath Larkin and Jerome Small for an urgent discussion*.   *we're working on our remote recording quality - please support the podcast on Patreon to help us get better equipment to record outside our usual home studio - https://www.patreon.com/redflagradiopodcast Follow Workers Organising Resistance in the Pandemic https://www.facebook.com/WorkersOrganisingResistance  National School Boycott M23 #ShutTheSchoolsNow https://www.facebook.com/events/538206863490269/ Follow our coverage of the crisis in Red Flag online - https://redflag.org.au/  Hosted by Roz Ward.

Workers Organising Resistance in the Pandemic with Kath Larkin and Jerome Small

Kath Larkin is a unionist and socialist activist. She’s the Victorian Socialists candidate for the seat of Cooper (formerly Batman) in the 2019 federal election, running against Labor’s Ged Kearney. In this conversation Kath told me about asking Jordan Peterson a question on Q&amp;A (that he didn’t like), her history of union organising, why she’s running in Cooper (and whether she’s going to win), her vision of a socialist future in Australia and she maintains hope in the idea of achieving radical change.
