Book Now
In ConversationLive Event

George Megalogenis is joined by Sally Warhaft for our final Fifth Estate of 2024.  

With the Australian political landscape in a constant state of flux, the two-party system continues to splinter. Between the teals, the Greens, the Coalition and Labor attempting to navigate centrism in polarised times, Megalogenis will unpack the how and why of political realignment.  

Presented in conjunction with the release of George Megalogenis’s forthcoming Quarterly Essay, Minority Report: The New Shape of Australian Politics, Fifth Estate host Sally Warhaft joins the politics and media expert for an hour of astute political analysis. They will reflect on the year that was, Australia’s current state of political affairs and look ahead to what the 2025 Australian Federal election year might mean for the Australian voter.
