The Rise of the Populist Right - with Associate Professor Ben Wellings
Why are people in the USA and Europe turning in such large numbers to the radical right? Are there echoes in Australia? Why is discontent with traditional parties not turning people more towards left alternatives? Is it all misinformation and prejudice, or are right parties recognising genuine issues not being addressed by the left? How does this tie in with populism and a loss of faith in western democracy?
After presenting his ideas (02.45), Ben will join in a conversation with the Chair of the Victorian Fabians, Jeff McCracken-Hewson (24.18). Followed by an audience Q&A (43.19).
Ben Wellings is Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations, at Monash University, focusing on...

The Housing Crisis: Victoria’s new housing plan
Просмотров 13911 месяцев назад
When former Premier Dan Andrews announced the government’s new housing plan, he described it as "the most comprehensive shake-up of one of the most important policy areas in decades." Tearing down 44 public housing blocks across the state and replacing them with a mix of public, private and social dwellings, and stripping local government of planning powers, is indeed ambitious. But will it inc...

#RoboGovt? Should governments automate their decision making?

With significant advances in Artificial Intelligence over the last two decades, can we safely turn government decision-making over to computers? The Robodebt scandal says NO.

    Disagree with Prof White’s premise . The conflict if it happens would be if America decides to protect the DEMOCRACY of Taiwan and protect the latte’s great silicon chip processing industry which China covets. Who knows if US will fight ? Maybe maybe not given strategic ambiguity . One thing for sure USA has moved a lot of the chip processing of Taiwan over to USA already . Thus removing a lure for China . But Hugh is correct in asking why would America bother ? After all Formosa now Taiwan was and is populated by Chinese people . Part of China in other words . China regards us in Australia as having chosen USA already ! But frankly I believe we should NOT do so . Don’t leave that decision there till then. Here Hugh is correct it is too late to discuss if the attack by China happens . My long term bet is that India will be the biggest and greatest power in Asia by the turn of te century I don’t believe we Inside Australia should get involved In portiecting Taiwan .

    The foreign minister, Penny Wong, has urged Israel to take “concrete steps” to stop Israel’s expanding settlements and crack down on extremist settler violence after the international court of justice’s (ICJ) ruling on Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territory. One of the only nations taking “concrete steps” to stop Israel is what Yemen is doing in the Red Sea trying to stop countries feeding Israel its machinery for genocide and expanding illegal settlements. So why is the Royal Australian Navy preparing to assume command of an international maritime task force dedicated to protecting shipping lanes around the Red Sea? Particularly after already indicating we are not that keen on getting involved after declining a United States request to deploy a warship to the Red Sea months ago! Another example of our ironic foreign policies & our subservient hypocritical schizophrenic moronic National identity. Passive recipients to a failing blue screen of death hegemony without a leader.
