How Australian Democracy Works [1]

['Amanda Dunn', 'Ed.', 'The Conversation']

Date: 2025-02 

Join The Conversation politics editor, Amanda Dunn and academic contributors to discuss democracy: how power works in this country.

In recent years, the trust in Australian politics and politicians has been at an all-time low. From political polarisation and the spread of disinformation to the lack of trust in the public institutions that underpin our government, the truth can often be hard to find.

Tonight is a pulse check of our country's political health and a helpful guide to understanding our nation's political history and our place in the world, from government, parliament, the Constitution and pressing policy issues.

Discover the best, most current analysis from people with valuable experience and expertise to better understand who we are, how we got here and where we might go next. From The Conversation's top academic writers comes an honest and informed call to examine, rethink and safeguard Australia's unique democracy.

The speakers:

Chris Wallace, Professor, School of Politics, Economics & Society, Faculty of Business Government & Law, University of Canberra

Denis Muller, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Advancing Journalism, The University of Melbourne

Paul Strangio, Emeritus Professor of Politics, Monash University
