In this episode, we dive into the Greek community’s sway over Australian politics. This conversation with Dr Alexandra Dellios – from the Australian National University – sheds light on how diaspora communities can influence policymaking in their host countries. We uncover the historical and socio-economic motives that propelled Greeks towards Australia post-World War II and the political landscape that awaited them. Through Alexandra’s expert lens, we explore the dynamics that allowed the Greek community to cement itself as a political force in Melbourne. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in migration studies, diaspora politics, and the intricate interactions between immigrants and their adopted homelands. Through personal stories, political analysis, and expert insights, we paint a vivid picture of how diasporas and the state profoundly shape each other.
