The seeds of Labor’s victory, and of the Liberal’s loss, were sown years ago. Only Daniel Andrews knew this — and he was the only one who needed to. 

Integrity questions rocked both campaigns this week as record numbers of early votes were cast.

Journalist and author Gideon Haigh examines a new biography of Andrews by The Age’s state political reporter Sumeyya Ilanbey, noting her astute observations of Andrews and his ‘modus oper-Andrews’. In this week’s episode of The ABR Podcast, Gideon Haigh reads his review from the October issue.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said, "To renounce liberty is to renounce being human."

In this interview, Simon Brown talks about groupthink, cognitive dissonance, tribalism, between-group tension, and coercive control from a psychological point of view. He utilises historical experiments from people like Stanley Milgram, Jane Elliot, and Philip Zimbardo to explore what has been happening in Melbourne (and, indeed, across the world) with various government responses to the pandemic. Not only this, Simon explores how people are more divided than ever before. However, he provides hope—hope that we can, once again, band together in the spirit of Mateship and, in the midst of distress, as we have so many times before, connect for a better future.

Simon Brown is a Melbourne-based clinical counsellor, psychotherapist, and behavioural specialist. He is an expert in forensic risk assessment and treatment, complex mental health, and the treatment of challenging behaviours. Having worked in maximum-security prisons, Simon has experienced first-hand the power of groupthink, the toxic nature of division, and the curative power of speaking the truth.

When Melbourne political tragic Stephen Donnelly set off with four mates in 2008 to crash that year's US Presidential campaign, little did he know that it would set off a chain of events that would lead to the historic 2014 election of Daniel Andrews in Victoria, and a new life and career schooling progressive leaders and organisations in the art of public narrative.   

The groundbreaking methods Donnelly observed Barak Obama and his campaign using on that fateful trip, which he would end up importing into an Australian political context, place personal narrative at the heart of efforts to lead and mobilise others and create change in the world.

In this final episode of this six-part pilot season of StoryCraft, Donnelly talks about the rise of public narrative theory in politics, how Andrews deftly used it to become the first Victorian Opposition leader in 60 years to defeat a one-term Government, and why it can also be a potent tool for anyone trying to lead others through conditions of uncertainty.
