OUT OF TOUCH & OVERPAID: Why adding more MPs will never fix Australia's representation crisis

from 4BC Mornings · host 4BC

Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Mornings and Samuel Griffith Society Executive Director Mia Schlicht debate proposals to expand parliamentary seats, arguing that adding politicians fails to improve representation and only enlarges the disconnected "Canberra bubble". They criticise MPs for relying on bloated public services and social media gimmicks like TikTok rather than utilising modern technology to serve regional communities and uphold constitutional principles genuinely.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
