Democracy 2025 is an initiative by the Museum of Australian Democracy and the University of Canberra, which aims to stimulate a national conversation on the state of our democracy, including the trust divide between the political class and everyday citizens. A just-released report by the project gives the perspective of federal politicians - key voices in the debate. Members of the last federal parliament were surveyed on their attitudes to democracy, the faults they see in the present political system, and how they thought it could be improved. Some 43% of the parliamentarians replied to the survey, done shortly before the election. Professor Mark Evans and Professor Gerry Stoker, two of the authors of the report, join Michelle Grattan on this podcast to discuss the findings, and share their thoughts on the future of Australian democracy.

Who are the quiet Australians, and do they have any attachment to major political parties? Did Australians feeling financially insecure mean the election was always going to be decided on the economy? And from Boris to the backstop, how can the Brits get themselves out of the Brexit tangle?

It’s been 163 years since the The Battle of the Eureka Stockade, which saw 27 miners lose their lives stemming from a rebellions against an excessive miner’s licence, taxes with out representation and other disputes with the colonial government. What legacy has the Eureka Rebellion had on Australian Democracy today? To answer that and more is Peter FitzSimons, Chair of the Australian Republican Movement, and author of Eureka: The Unfinished Revolution. Peter FitzSimons delivered 2017’s annual Peter Tobin Oration at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka.

Is the way that Australia practices parliamentary democracy broken? Or is there something more perfidious about the fracturing of the political parties themselves that leaves little motivation for anything other than naked ambition?

In part 1 of our interview with Daryl Karp, Director of the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House (MoAD) we explore the idea of selling an offline experience online. Though the internet initially damaged the museum sector in late 1990s and early 2000s, over the years audiences have begun making their way back in to museums and cultural buildings to experience history, ideas and art face-to-face, rather than behind a phone screen. MoAD has used this resurgence in the importance of the hands-on experience as a tool to reconnect Australians with their political and national identity. Through clever marketing across their social channels to engage their users beyond likes, comments and shares, MoAD is an example of how to reconfigure the offline experience, once considered obsolete, to make it meaningful in the digital age. Daryl is an experienced media communicator having worked in the industry for over 20s years with positions including Head of Factual Programs at the ABC and Non-Executive Director for SBS. Discussed in this episode: How to launch a museum in the 2010s Building an engaging experience, offline and online Reintroducing politics into education Trial and error behind building strong engaging content The growing want from consumers to experience physical experiences Engaging an educated population Find contentgroup on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

We finally finish our five-part series on the Eureka rebellion. In this episode we see what happened at the trials of the men charged for their role in the rebellion, the outcome of the Committee of inquiry, and just what happened to some of the main players. We also try and get a handle on why it happened in Ballarat and briefly reflect on the legacy of the Eureka rebellion for Australia. Was it really the birthplace of Australian democracy?

What legacy has the Eureka Rebellion had on contemporary Australian democracy? Peter FitzSimons, Chair of the Australian Republican Movement, and author of 'Eureka: The Unfinished Revolution', says it's impact was hugely significant, not only in Australia but overseas. Peter FitzSimons delivered 2017's annual Peter Tobin Oration at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka, a place he says is an important contribution to the story of democracy.More informationhttp://made.orghttp://republic.org.auhttp://peterfitzsimons.com.au
