At a time when politics is increasingly conducted like sports – full of one-eyed tribalism and captains’ calls, and with policy dictated by the Newspoll scoreboard – George Megalogenis believes the game of AFL may hold the key to fixing Canberra’s woes. He points to the example set by 2017 premiership-winning team, the Richmond Tigers. George joins Christos Tsiolkas to discuss The Football Solution, a characteristically sweeping and entertaining book that will appeal to anyone wanting to make sense of our ongoing political impasse.
