Rob interviews Tim Wilson, who at the time of recording was MP for Goldstein, about the issues raised by his recent book The New Social Contract: Renewing the Liberal Vision for Australia (2020). They discuss Robert Menzies’ vision of a liberalism ‘for individuals not for individualism’ and the need for a society in which individuals have a stake and commitment. Tim is concerned that there are too few arguing for liberal democracy today as an alternative to social democracy. He believes that liberalism needs to regain its social license especially among those under the age of 35.

In an energetic discussion of both sociology and history Salvatore Babones, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Sydney, is unashamedly upbeat about liberalism and its place in history and the future. And he is not that worried about ‘cancel culture’ or the threat of authoritarian societies either.

Rob chats with Professor Ian Harper, member of the Reserve Bank Board and dean of the Melbourne Business School, about liberalism as a prejudice to freedom and not a strict doctrine, why becoming a Christian believer reaffirmed his conviction about the freedom of the individual, about whether the Church has been an enemy or friend of liberalism, and the need for moral restraint for freedom to be preserved.
