A good chat. Enjoyed it very much. I like Shannon's take on the potential of the moment while recognizing the weight of pessimism expressed by Supriya, because that is the challenge of the moment. How do we collectively address the challenge to democracy from discourses that fund raise off rage-fuelling amplifications of grievance? That's on all of us, media, pols and voters. So I'm with Shannon insofar as the "tables set", so let's see how good we are as a democracy in dealing with it. I think your podcast makes a helpful contribution to this moment.
Pierre was very correct that he'd never heard any journalist heckle the PM. So, what gives with this journalist? Yes, Pierre can rankle but when the journos are part of the story, they're losing, imo.
