In a special episode of Living The Dream, Max and Natalie (@DrNatOsborne) join Jon (@JonPiccini) to discuss radical happenings in Brisbane of late. We talk about the election of Jonathon Sri in the Brisbane City Council elections of last year, why Brisbane is experiencing such a strong wave of ‘right to the city’ activism and how these two interconnect. Musings on the interconnections between social movements and elections, the global and the local and culture and politics abound.

In this episode of Living the Dream Jon (@jonpiccini) and Dave (@withsobersenses) have a very quick chat about Cory Bernardi quitting the Liberal party. We discuss how this is more evidence of the breakdown of politics/the rise of antipolitics; the attempts by the RBA to keep capital accumulation going through monetary policy whilst everything crumbles around them and what this means for radical strategy and tactics.
Stuff we mention includes:
National Press Club: Malcolm Turnbull
National Press Club: Bill Shorten
Unlegislated measures carried forward in the budget estimates—
February 2017 update
The Linguistic Nature of Money and Finance
Chart Pack Graphs on the Australian Economy and Financial Markets
Statement by Philip Lowe, Governor: Monetary Policy Decision
