Ordinary People's Politics

Respected academics Judith Brett and Anthony Moran get ordinary Australians to talk about life, politics and the future of their country.

This unique series of snapshots of Australian political culture takes us from the Depression through the post war boom, the economic changes of the 1980s to the early 2000s and the war on terror. Based on interviews done in the 1950s, the 1980s and the early 2000s, twenty-two ordinary Australians talk about politics and its place in their lives. The portraits are sharply etched to read like well-crafted political short stories.
