Uncommon Sense: Sean Kelly on One Nation, Racism, and Labor's Response
Sean Kelly talks to guest host Nick Feik about the rise of One Nation, and the factors behind it - including racism.
Can racism, which is at the core of One Nation’s appeal, be the basis of genuinely broad support in Australia, broad enough to trouble Labor at the next election? They also discuss how Labor is responding.
Sean Kelly is a writer and political commentator. He’s an award-winning columnist for the Nine papers and a former adviser to Labor prime ministers, Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd. He’s the author of The Game: A portrait of Scott Morrison, and of a recent Quarterly Essay about the Albanese Government.
