from Socially Democratic · host Stephen Donnelly
In this episode of Socially Democratic:🫥 How will the Liberals respond to the findings of their 2025 Election Review? Or will they just hide it in a drawer?💸 If we address the housing crisis by favouring owner-occupiers over investors, where will that investment money go? Does Australia have other attractive assets to keep that money in the lucky country?🌴 The ACTU is campaigning for 5 week annual leave for all workers, nationwide. Do they stand a chance? Plus, we ask: which work perk would you prefer?🌎 “Social Cohesion” has entered the chat once more, this time on The Rest is Politics. That conversation prompted our listener Paul to ask: Should we be concerned that our representatives are taking foreign policy positions based on their constituents, rather than Australia’s best interest?👔 Finally we discuss Kos Samaras’s latest essay: ‘The Death of the Brahmin Left’. Did Australian Labor intentionally drift away from the working-class outer suburbs in favour of inner-city knowledge workers?
