The ‘three shocks’ reshaping Australian politics

Australia has changed in ways our politics is still struggling to understand.

We are now a majority migrant nation. Professional women have overtaken blue-collar men as the largest group in the workforce.

Meanwhile, the two countries Australia has relied on most – China and the United States – have become less predictable. 

Labor has adapted to parts of this new reality. The Coalition, so far, has struggled to do the same. 

Today, author of Three Shocks, George Megalogenis discusses the tectonic shifts reshaping Australian politics.
