Scott Morrison's Social Contract


Listen Later

What is Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's idea of the "social contract"? This episode compares his use of the term in publically available speeches (https://www.pm.gov.au/media) to an answer he gave to a question about the social contract asked by SCRN chief investigator A/Prof Christopher Watkin in February 2021. The episode offers an analysis of the dominant metaphors and assumptions in the PM's concept of the social contract.

A video version of the episode is available on the social contract research network YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8t-O46DMn0&ab_channel=SocialContractResearchNetwork).
