Follow The Money

With brave climate leadership, says former South Australian Premier Mike Rann, Anthony Albanese could leave a lasting legacy similar to Bob Hawke with Medicare, Paul Keating with compulsory superannuation and Kevin Rudd with the apology to the Stolen Generations. On this episode of Follow the Money, Mike Rann addresses the fossil fuel industry’s tobacco-like tactics, South Australia’s leadership of progressive reform, and why policy bravery can be great politics, as he delivered the Australia Institute’s Hugh Saddler Memorial Lecture. This episode was recorded live on Thursday 13 November. A time for Bravery: what happens when Australia chooses courage is available for pre-order now via Australia Institute Press. Aiming Higher: Universities and Australia’s future by Professor George Williams is also available now. Guest: Mike Rann, Chair of the UK Climate Group and former Premier of South Australia // @Mike_Rann Host: Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director, the Australia Institute // @ebo
