Your Shortcut to... political conferences

Over the next few days you're going to be hearing a lot about the
Australian Labor Party's national conference – the big Labor
love-in which sets the party's policies. In this episode, we're
going to dig into how the conference actually works, what might
happen this time around, and how similar conferences work for the
Liberals and other political parties. Squiz recommends: The ABC's
list of the greatest hits and biggest moments from previous Labor
Party conferences. Political Lives by historian Chris Wallace, a
book about Australian PMs and their biographers.* *Buy using this
