Dr Richard Denniss, Executive Director of The Australia Institute talks about his new essay in The Monthly on tax reform – Richard says tax reform is about democracy, not economics, and reforms should not be centred on what we want, but on who we want to be. He also talks about the intertwined issues of rising company profits, interest rates, the supermarket duopoly, and price gouging. Award-winning photojournalist Andrew Quilty joins Amy for an in-depth conversation about his latest book, This Is Afghanistan: 2014–2021 (Miegunyah Press: Melbourne University Publishing). The stunning book is a visual record of the nine years Andrew spent living and working in the complex, beautiful, and war-torn country. You can view some of Andrew's work on his website, including some of the images we discuss in this interview. Dr Emma Shortis, historian and Senior Researcher in the International & Security Affairs Program at The Australia Institute talks all things US politics, including President Biden’s recent foreign policy and diplomatic approach to Israel’s place in the Middle East, as well as the intersection of Russian and far-right US politics, the death of Navalny, and the war in Ukraine.
