Show Notes
My guest today is Dr Judith Brett, Emeritus Professor of politics at La Trobe University. We discuss:
- What "liberalism" has actually meant in Australia - from Alfred Deakin to Robert Menzies to John Howard
- How it differs from simply "classical liberalism" or Gladstonian liberalism from the late 19th Century
- Where in her view the modern Australian Liberal Party has gone wrong and how it needs to better understand its history
And much more
