Is social democracy actually in crisis?
Australian social democracy is facing the electoral wilderness, its traditional institutional bases are in decline and there is increasing political fragmentation on the left of politics. Is there a way forward for Australian social democracy? Can social democracy overcome this current crisis and be renewed?
Panellists will discuss the meaning of social democracy and whether it continues to have a purpose.
