Shireen Morris: John Button Oration - 'A New Radical Centre'
On the 10th of September 2022, our director and founder Dr Shireen Morris gave the 2022 John Button Oration, presented by the University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Writers Festival.
In this oration, Dr Morris makes the case for radical centre economic reform, sharing her thinking about the radical centre as it relates to the challenge of unemployment. Dr Morris asks: Why must a cohort of Australians be kept unemployed to manage inflation? Why must the RBA independently manage this balance? And how can Australians work across tribal divides to fight inequality?
