It’s been a big week - allegations of sexual misconduct and a toxic culture for women in Canberra, Donald Trump clinging to power in a bizarre post-election campaign, Labor spats over climate policy, and a potential vaccine breakthrough.
Plus - a guest appearance from popular Dutch historian Rutger Bregman, famous for his speech on tax avoidance at Davos, his push for a universal basic income and his unrelenting belief that, especially in times of crisis, we show our best selves.
“We get this explosion of altruism and cooperation. This happens again and again after natural disasters, after earthquakes and after floodings. And I think that, if you zoom out a little bit during this pandemic, you see the same phenomenon,” he says. Is he right?
Joining me on the panel:
Barnaby Joyce, Nationals Member for New England
Emma Husar, Former Labor MP
Helen Haines, Independent Member for Indi
Rutger Bregman, Historian and author, Humankind and Utopia for Realists
