INDIscussion

In the new season of INDIscussion, Nadia gets into it about the mishandling of COVID by the Morrison 'Government' and the massive issues face by the Australian manufacturing industry. The Morrison 'Government' has a lot to answer for on both counts.

In the last podcast for 2021, Nadia gives an overview of the two big issues she's been talking about in the campaign so far. There's a quick grab from the Violet Town Market campaign stall to give a little taste of it - more to come in 2022!

Thanks to all you listeners out in pod-land who have been getting into the campaign podcast that is INDIscussion. Nadia will be back mid-January to kick off the next phase in the campaign for Indi!

This episode Nadia talks with local rural GP and women's health advocate, Dr Rebecca McGowan, about the state of rural and regional healthcare, climate change and access to specialists in country Australia. As the second youngest of 14, Rebecca decided very early in life that she wanted to be a GP in the area she's from, the Indigo Valley north of Beechworth, Victoria. Rebecca still lives in the Indigo Valley and practices in Albury while also speaking globally on the impact of climate change on our health and women's health in country Australia. 

This week Nadia discusses her purpose and the Labor focus on vision and growing the country. There needs to be a re-setting of Australian politics to recalibrate and put the representation of each electorate in the context of the federal system. We are not just our electorates, or even our communities, but a nation, and our politicians need to be able to balance both roles - representatives and members of parliament. Leaders.

This week Nadia talks with the Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Hon Chris Bowen MP. It's a discussion about Labor's climate change principles, the plans for our transition to renewable energy future and why Chris has the middle names he does.

As always, please get involved in the campaign via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

This week Nadia discusses the revelations she has had about what we want in our leaders and representatives - activism and representation. It is not enough to be elected, which is really just a popularity contest, a member of parliament must be connected with their constituents and fundamentally activist in their approach to issues. It is not enough to just write letters and have meetings - we must, as politicians, be activists to be effective representatives.

Nadia talks about her first campaign stall at Benalla over the weekend, and what she heard from people who were generous enough to share their ideas, thoughts and experiences with her. The Morrison Government is (no surprises) very on the nose and the closure of the Benalla Centrelink was an example of how out of touch the LNP is with regional, working class people.

This week the indomitable Van Badham, Australian feminist of note, author and columnist, playwright and woman of deep authenticity, joins Nadia on the podcast to talk about all things online conspiracy theory. Van's insights are vital at a time when many of us are confused and somewhat anxious about the apparent rise in extremism, particularly in the online space.

Van hosts a podcast on politics - the Week on Wednesday - with her partner Ben Davison which you can catch here.

If you are keen to get your mitts on her book, QAnon and On, check out Beechworth Books webshop here (out on 17 November).

This week, Nadia talks about the clear differences in mindset between the conservative and progressive sides of Australia's political environment. Labor, the party of innovation, reform and big picture thinking, is the only clear choice when it comes to looking for leadership during this time of transition to a carbon-free economy.
