Sco Mo, the Muppet Show and political communication

Thursday, 6 December 2018 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

Since then, there's been a number of attempts by the Liberal- National Coalition to communicate with voters that have gone distinctly pear shaped. This week on Communication Mixdown, new co-host Reema Rattan talks with Dr. Norman Abjorensen, former national editor at the Sydney Morning Herald and now political historian at the Australian National University, about the Morrison government’s style of political communication.
