Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny: Lies, damned lies, and election campaigns

Abstract

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, journalist Bernard Keane and political scientists Judith Brett and Marija Taflaga join Mark Kenny to discuss truth in politics, cynicism in the electorate, and what it all might mean at the next federal election. Is there a growing sense among voters that ‘all politicians lie’, and what does that mean for faith in Australia’s democracy?
