The Woke Agenda

In this episode we're unpacking something a little different, something a bit outside our usual discussion about the economy. As Defence Minister Richard Marles lifts Peter Dutton’s ban on some charity and diversity events in Defence, we dive into the term ‘woke’. What does it mean? Why is it dominating the culture wars? Dive in to the woke debate with Bill Browne, Director, Democracy & Accountability Program at the Australia Institute

This was recorded on Tuesday 30th August 2022 and things may have changed since recording.
