Chris Kenny

Ebony Bennett

The public messaging regarding recent occurrences of the rape and murder of women has predominantly been that women need to try harder to stay safe in public. Is this the right message?

Episode 20: Chris Kenny, Ebony Bennett And Violence Against Women

Bob Brown

Why do corporate investments and political interests so often take priority over the long-term viability of our common resources? Should more Australians be encouraged to vote to secure the nation's future, or is it okay to prioritise this generation's wants over the next generation's needs? This week, former Greens leader Bob Brown joins Richard Denniss to discuss why the greater long-term good should have precedence over short-term interests that only serve the few.

Episode 17: Australia's Free Trade Fallacy

Why does Australia spend so much time and money commemorating the wars we've fought in?

The Lucky Country

Does wealth "trickle down"? Or does society benefit more when wealth "trickles up"? The Lucky Country's first episode of the year features Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who was recently awarded the 2018 Sydney Peace Prize for his work addressing global inequality. Stiglitz and Richard Denniss discuss what the Turnbull government's proposed corporate tax cuts mean for ordinary Australians. News audio is courtesy of the ABC.

Episode 12: Corporate Tax Cuts. Will The Money Trickle Down, Or Up?

It's easy to convince yourself, or be convinced by others, that the decisions we make as individuals or at a community level don't really matter when there are 7.5 billion other people on the planet and a global economy worth more than $100 trillion per year. But what if  I told you there was no such thing as the "global economy"? We're often made to feel as if the global economy shapes us; in reality, we get to shape it every time we take a job, quit a job, spend a dollar, invest a dollar, or decide to keep chickens rather than buy eggs. Not everyone has the same capacity to shape the global economy, but everyone's decisions count. This week, Richard Denniss talks to broadcaster Indira Naidoo about how the community garden is an act of political rebellion, and ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr about making coalition governments work.

Episode 8: The Global Economy

Politicians like to talk about the alleged value of mateship and sticking together and fairness, but many of those same politicians are quick to turn on vulnerable sections of the community the minute they think it will win them popular support. Luckily, we live in a country of laws where those in power are subject to checks and balances and accountability. Luckily, we have a constitution that defends our rights. Or do we? Richard Denniss asks law professor George Williams about why Australia is the only democracy without a bill of rights, and Simon Sheikh about why the government is attacking GetUp!, the organisation he once led. Economist Chris Fry joins to ask whether Australia is living beyond its means. News audio is courtesy of the ABC.

Episode 13: The C Word - Class

As the citizenship crisis plays out, the government is reaping the lack of trust that it itself has been sowing for years. Voters don't trust politicians because politicians have trained voters not to trust anybody. Throughout this series the issue of shame has come up again and again. To explore its effect on public debate and the economy, Richard Denniss talks to Jim Stanford from the Centre for Future Work about union membership and wage stagnation, broadcaster Jeremy Fernandez about the courage of speaking up about a racial attack and Chris Fry on what's needed to change the gun debate in the US.
