234 - Victor Kline (The New Liberals)

Victor Kline is a writer and barrister who is the leader of a new political party, The New Liberals. The party was born out of a frustration that Victor and some close friends felt by the current state of Australian politics and the lack of any party that truly represented them. Here we discuss what Victor believes it means to be a truly "liberal" party, why they want to reclaim that name, the party's political strategy, and what I would argue is liberalism's limits: its inability to wrestle with questions of class and political economy.  I’m doing Dry July please help me/cancer research I went on "Miners Driving Teslas" with Daniel Bleakley and it was fun If you’ve got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you WE ARE ALL IN THIS will be at the Brisbane Comedy Festival in August There’s an encore Sydney show of WE ARE ALL IN THIS on August 20th My two shows and special filming at Chapel Off Chapel have been rescheduled to August 27th & 28th @victorklineTNL newliberals.net.au ARTICLE: New Liberals' registration approved despite Liberal party objection over "voter confusion" ARTICLE: New Liberals leader outlines his party's politics Cause of the Week: The New Liberals (newliberals.net.au)
