À propos de ce contenu audio

In Australian Story, Mungo MacCallum investigates the political success of Kevin Rudd. What does he know about Australia that his opponents don't? This is a characteristically barbed and perceptive look at the challenges facing the government and the country. MacCallum argues that the things we used to rely on are not there anymore. On the Right, the blind faith in markets has recently collapsed. The Left lost its guiding light with the demise of the socialist dream. In entertaining fashion, MacCallum dissects the myths that made Australia: the idea of the Lucky Country, with endless pastures, a workingman's paradise, a new Britannia, and more. In newly uncertain times, MacCallum argues, Rudd has sought to tap into these myths, in the process reclaiming them from John Howard.©2009 Mungo MacCallum. Recorded by arrangement with Black Inc.

Avis de l'équipe

Mungo MacCallum profiles Kevin Reed, who has been twice elected as the Prime Minister of Australia, the first time in the country's history since 1949. MacCallum attempts to understand Reed's political success through a discussion of Australian myths such as "the Lucky Country", showcasing how Reed has adeptly utilized them to his political advantage while navigating a turbulent economic climate. MacCallum's arguments are persuasive, and his casually informative style is often punctuated with a wry wit, like that of a wildly popular campus lecturer. His performance turns Australian Story: Kevin Rudd and the Lucky Country into an entertaining, illuminating discussion.
