About this listen
The search for the “sensible centre” in Australia politics is pointless and flies in the face of evidence, says Richard Denniss.
On this episode of Follow the Money, Richard Denniss joins Ebony Bennett to discuss why the constant search for the centre ground doing Australians harm, why bipartisanship can actually be bad, and his new essay, Dead Centre.
Dead Centre: How political pragmatism is killing us by Richard Denniss is available now via the Australia Institute website.
