What if we (the Australian people) took control of the next Federal Election? Part 5 - The "Voices 4" Democracy Movement

Sophie Season 2 Episode 5

Tune in to the fifth episode of my deep dive into the hypothetical question “What if we (the Australian people) took control of the next Federal Election?

Join me as I sit down with a friend we will call “John” - a person who has been involved in the “Voices 4” Democracy movement, to discuss: 

  • What the Voices 4 movement is all about; 
  •  Some of the issues with the democratic system in Australia; 
  • How the Voices 4 movement aims to combat the issues we face with democracy here in Australia; 
  •  How the mere presence of independents running in the Federal Election and in Federal Parliament can influence the conversation to create positive, tangible action;
  • How John got involved in the Voices 4 movement to begin with;
  • Some of the more practical considerations involved in setting up your own Voices 4 group; 
  • I ask who in Federal Parliament right now could be classified as a “climate denialist”; 
  • I ask who in Federal Parliament right now is acting in alignment with the science on climate.
