Political scientists Mark Riboldi and Pandanus Petter join Democracy Sausage to discuss housing policy, safety nets and the fair go. 


How do politicians talk about housing, and does it impact policy? Who are the villains (or scapegoats) in the Australian housing narrative? And what does living with dignity mean in our current society; is it universal basic income? 

 

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Dr Mark Riboldi and Dr Pandanus Petter join Dr Marija Taflaga to discuss housing and social policy. 


Mark Riboldi is a Lecturer at the Business School at the University of Technolgy Sydney (UTS). Mark has previously worked as a media and policy adviser in NSW Parliament, an advocacy and communications manager at Community Legal Centres NSW, and as the collaborative research and policy manager at the Sydney Policy Lab. 

 

Pandanus Petter is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the ANU School of Politics & International Relations. 

 

Marija Taflaga is the Director of the ANU Australian Politics Studies Centre and a Senior Lecturer at the ANU School of Politics and International Relations.
