It's the end of the world as we know it ….. or is it?
This is the end of the world as we know it – or so politicians say. Whether it’s youth unemployment, Sydney’s lockout laws or welfare payments, politicians are constantly selling us the story of a world that’s in decline. Richard’s talk takes a closer look at these “end of the world” stories and questions whether we’re actually buying it.
