October 23, 2020 Queensland state election insights with Rachel Nolan and Graham Young
Special episode: Does anyone really have a handle on the issues which will drive the outcome of the state election? There are so many firsts for this election including the loss of local media coverage through printed daily newspapers and a reduction or total loss of local commercial radio and TV news bulletins in some areas. And the big one – the influence of Covid-19 on voters. From the McKell Institute webinar streamed 22 October 2020, Rachel Nolan and Graham Young offer insights in the lead up to 31 October. Rachel Nolan was a state government minister and ALP member for Ipswich and is now executive chairperson of the McKell Institute in Queensland. Graham Young is executive director of the Australian Institute of Progress and a former campaign chairman of the Queensland Liberal Party.
