Paul Oosting, GetUp - ChangeMaker Chat

After a bruising election outcome, GetUp is regrouping around a batch of issues - with press freedom the big ticket item. The activist group's national director Paul Oosting, who has been in Canberra for the parliamentary week, says this is "deeply, deeply important to our members right now. It's absolutely the number one issue that they care about". "We're absolutely in this campaign for the long haul. How we protect press freedoms, as of today - [it] isn't entirely clear how we get there from a parliamentary and political point of view, but we've absolutely got to find a way because press freedom is central to our democracy." Post-election, GetUp has faced strong critics, most recently the Liberal member for the South Australian seat of Boothby, Nicole Flint, who has accused it and unions of "creating an environment where abuse, harassment, intimidation, shouting people down and even stalking became the new normal". Oosting says these claims "aren't true" - they are "very much self-serving from the Coalition in an attempt to to muddy our brand". He admits GetUp made some mistakes - in a "calling script" in one electorate, and a wrong "tone" in some advertising, notably depicting a Tony Abbott figure refusing to hep a drowning person. "In terms of our internal processes and how we think more broadly around those things...[we] absolutely will carry those lessons through to future campaigns." But in Boothby he says, "Nicole Flint doesn't really have a high profile. So our campaign wasn't centred on her, it was centred on issues like climate change".

Paul Oosting responds to GetUp's critics

100 episodes, everyone! We bloody made it. Gosh.  Thanks so much for getting onboard with this little show. I love doing it and hope you get something out of each episode. I've learnt so much talking to all the guests on the show over the past two years and hope to keep doing it for as along as I can.  I can think of no better way to celebrate the century than with a live show at The Wheeler Centre with the national director of GetUp!, Paul Oosting.  In this chat, recorded in front of a "sold-out crowd" (it was free, but still - pretty cool) as part of the Centre's Invasion of the Pod People series on Monday March 27th, Paul and I discuss what GetUp! is all about and how things are looking for progressives in this country at the moment. From the far-right's influence on the government to 18C to campaign finance reform to the crucial difference between viewing the electorate as "disenfranchised" as opposed to "disengaged", this is a really interesting and relevant discussion for now.  PLUS we brainstorm about how to stop Dutton getting elected.  A big thanks to Paul for flying down from Sydney just for the show and Helen and everyone at The Wheeler Centre for their help in making this happen.  Here's to 100 more!  There are just 7 shows left of Problematic at MICF 2017, including an extra show on Saturday April 22nd Problematic is coming to Sydney for 4 shows only at the Sydney Comedy Festival  I'm doing one show only of Boundless Plains To Share this Saturday April 22nd at 5pm  I was in the 2017 MICF Great Debate: watch it on iView here Here's my spot at the MICF Allstars Gala My special The World Keeps Happening is streaming on Stan Australia now @PaulOosting  Article: Here's the race hate scare campaign to Liberal marginal electorates  Article: The Left's foreign donors by Eric Abetz  Article: GetUp! army spurs for conservative foil Cause of the Week: GetUp!
