George Megalogenis on who Australia is becoming and why it matters for our politics

Journalist, author and long-time Triple R subscriber George Megalogenis joins host Dylan Bird to discuss his new book Three Shocks: Who We Are Becoming In The 21st Century.It looks at the transformative shifts that are changing Australia's self-identity and the huge implications for the country's politics."The middle class is clearly not White anymore, and it's clearly not male. And its not an aspirational battler, as John Howard used to define his sort of ex-Labor voter that he picked up in outer metropolitan [areas] and in the regions. So that part of Australia, 'real Australia', middle Australia, is not White. For our politics, that is the most profound thing."
