George Megalogenis: The New Shape of Australian Politics

George Megalogenis is joined by Sally Warhaft for the final Fifth Estate of 2024. With the Australian political landscape in a constant state of flux, the two-party system continued to splinter. Between the teals, the Greens, the Coalition and Labor attempting to navigate centrism in polarised times, Megalogenis unpacked the how and why of political realignment. Presented in conjunction with the release of George Megalogenis’s Quarterly Essay, Minority Report: The New Shape of Australian Politics, Fifth Estate host Sally Warhaft sat down with the politics and media expert for an hour of astute political analysis. Together, they reflected on the year that was, examined Australia’s current political state, and looked ahead to what the 2025 Australian Federal election year might mean for voters across the nation. 🔔 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬    / @wheelercentre   𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 The Wheeler Centre is where writers, storytellers, thinkers and readers connect through live events, insightful conversations and compelling stories in Melbourne.
