View From The Round House With Martin Drum - #7 Participatory Democracy

Welcome back to our politics podcast, View From The Round House With Martin Drum.

Now that the 2022 Federal election is more or less behind us, we can begin to turn to some broader political issues that seem to arise in its aftermath, including the future of participatory democracy in Australia. As political parties of old seem to be diminished in their stature after this election, and fewer people than ever seem to be members of the old major parties, how do citizens engage with politics and policy formulation in this evolving world? Do citizens want a more direct impact on how policies are formulated and how government is practices in Australia?

Today, our editor, Michael Barker, explores these questions with Professor Drum in this, #7 in our podcast series.

Martin Drum is Professor of Politics and International Relations at Notre Dame University, Fremantle and a well know political pundit. You’ll want to hear just what Martin thinks!
