Kos Samaras: The Future of Australian Politics

Listen Later

Kos Samaras has over 25 years of experience in advertising and politics. Between 2005 to 2019 he served as Victorian Labor’s Deputy Campaign Director and is now the Director of Redbridge Group Australia, a social and community research company.


He specialises in combining research and socio-political analysis to illustrate emerging trends within the Australian community. He joined Discernable to discuss why the entire continent is turning red (voting for Labor).

  • Questions from Twitter
  • The Indigenous Voice to Parliament
  • Labor will lose the next QLD election
  • The new elites
  • Who is going to pay for 'Labor's debt'?
