Description:
In Episode 21 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re pumped to bring our dedicated fans an inspiring discussion with Denise Shrivell, a community advocate and political strategist. Denise breaks down her history of community engagement, the essentials of a winning independent campaign, and how to spark community-driven movements. We explore the similarities and differences among independents across electorates, their critical role in Australia’s bipartisan system, and the strategies major parties use to limit their influence. Denise also looks at the future of independents against Labor’s majority and praises the vital work of independent media.
