In this episode of The Five Minute Advocate, Michael Walker digs into why Australia isn’t following the global trend of political polarisation. He unpacks fresh research showing that Aussies are actually becoming more tolerant of differing views—thanks in part to things like compulsory voting and a general disillusionment with party politics. 

Plus, he looks at why young Australian men haven’t jumped on the anti-diversity bandwagon seen in places like the US and UK, with housing and cost of living emerging as the real issues shaping the political divide.
