What does Labor stand for? With Sean Kelly and Misha Ketchell
In its second term, the Albanese Government enjoys a large majority in parliament and an opposition in disarray. But faced with a fragmented, fractious electorate, ever more entrenched inequality at home and volatility abroad, and with an emphasis on a stable and moderate governing style, is this government making the most of its political advantages? Does Labor still have the courage to take on the good fight? This event was recorded at the Hawke Centre at the University of Adelaide on 4 December 2025. Speakers Sean Kelly Journalist, columnist for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, author, Quarterly Essay 100 — The Good Fight: What does Labor stand for? And The Game: A portrait of Scott Morrison Misha Ketchell (host) Editor-in-Chief, The Conversation
