Dr Judith Brett - What "liberalism" has meant in Australia and what the Liberal Party gets wrong


Listen Later

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
