/377/ The Locked-Up Country ft. Shahar Hameiri & Tom Chodor

On Australia's lockdown.   We welcome back Shahar Hameiri and Tom Chodor to talk about their new book, The Locked-Up Country, to try to learn some lessons from Australia's response to Covid-19. We also talk about the country's recent Indigenous Voice referendum and ask whether it was Oz's "Brexit Moment".   In the episode we ask: Was the pandemic another success for the 'lucky country'? How was the Australian state transformed from the 1970s to the 2020s? Why was Australia's pandemic planning inadequate? What was up with the hotel-based quarantines? Why did the public largely support these measure? And what can the rest of the world learn from the experience?
