Episode 5 The winning strategy that built Australia’s safety net Australia’s safety net is the envy of the world: the highest minimum wage; a world-class health system; the only compulsory universal superannuation system. These towering reforms are the legacy of a 1983 Accord between the ACTU and ALP that was globally unprecedented in its vision and scope, a philosophy that repudiated neoliberalism, and a strategy that overcame the economic crisis and changed capitalism forever. How was this possible and how was it done? A compelling episode about a remarkable story. /episode/index/show/masterclassforactivists/id/19878851
