/377/ The Locked-Up Country ft. Shahar Hameiri & Tom Chodor
Manage episode 386449501 series 3341889
On Australia's lockdown.
We welcome back Shahar Hameiri and Tom Chodor to talk about their new book, The Locked-Up Country, to try to learn some lessons from Australia's response to Covid-19. We also talk about the country's recent Indigenous Voice referendum and ask whether it was Oz's "Brexit Moment".
In the episode we ask:
- Was the pandemic another success for the 'lucky country'?
- How was the Australian state transformed from the 1970s to the 2020s?
- Why was Australia's pandemic planning inadequate?
- What was up with the hotel-based quarantines?
- Why did the public largely support these measure?
- And what can the rest of the world learn from the experience?
