The not-so-wasted years
Monday, 2 November, 2026
Why has the Fraser government been so overlooked, by Labor and the Liberals alike? What did a government with progressive, conservative and reactionary wings get done in a time of global upheaval? Why does Malcolm Fraser's era sound so familiar in 2026? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Historian Dr Joshua Black joins Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga to discuss his special issue of the Australian Journal of Politics and History on the Fraser years. They cover the dismissal and the question of legitimacy, Vietnamese refugees and multiculturalism, and the Liberal Party's uneasy relationship with its own past. Hosted on Acast.
