An excellent essay on the failure of Neoliberalism in Australia. My question is: Is it dead though? Events that occured since the essay was published seem to indicate that the Neoliberals still think they are in charged. Hopefully the next election proves them wrong. In my imagining, the collapse of this ideology can only lead to good things.
The essay is completed by a series of responses to a previous essay (Quarterly Essay 69 - Moment of Truth) by Mark McKenna - which I have yet to read/listen to. This explores the history and current discussions about Recognition and Reconcilliation for First Nations of Australia and includes a call to embrace the Ullaru Statement of May 2017 and fold this into our Constitution.
I found both the primary essay and the responces to McKenna's essay interesting and enlightening contain much food for thought. How do we want the future of Australia to look?
