Summary
<p>Does being "left-wing" mean giving everyone equal opportunities? Or does it mean elevating historically excluded groups like gays, trans folks and people of colour? Professor Clive Hamilton is a professor of public ethics at Charles Sturt University. He was active in the civil rights movements of the 1970s and he founded the country's most important left-wing think tank, the Australia Institute, thirty years ago.</p> <p> </p> <p>In additon to his many books about the threat from China and from climate change, he penned an article: "Wake up, lefties, and reject wokeness".</p> <p> </p> <p>This episode is part of Permission to Think, a collaboration with the University of Technology, Sydney, where Josh is a visiting fellow.
