Political debate is almost as ancient as the human experience. But in a world more divided than ever, where nuance is often lost and the capacity for healthy discourse is becoming less and less apparent, I thought it was time to shake things up and see where and how some of our finest federal politicians from opposites sides of the political persuasion come together or teach us how to disagree better. It’s time to go behind the mask of Australian politics with Liberal member for Flinders Zoe McKenzie and Labor member for McNammara Josh Burns.
In this episode we discuss:
-Soul purpose, and why they chose politics as a career.
-What their core values are as human beings, and how to maintain integrity in politics.
-Handling the pressure of politics.
-Social Media distorting our perception of free speech.
-The recent racially provoked violent attacks on Josh’s office and the time he felt physically unsafe.
-The war in the Middle East.
-The importance of disagreement in democracy and how we can do it better as a society.
-The media frenzy around Josh’s new relationship.
-Zoe’s love for scuba diving
-Friendships beyond party walls.
-Zoe’s thoughts on the changing landscape with AI.
