Pillar Talk is a podcast about politics, philosophy, and economics - the three pillars of the humanities! Supported by the University of Queensland Politics, Philosophy & Economics Society (UQPPES), we dive into ideas from across the three disciplines through interviews with academics and interesting thinkers, commentary on current affairs, and discussions with student writers from our sister publication, Statecraft Magazine. In everything we do, we aim to take complex ideas about the world around us and make them accessible for the everyday listener.

Statecraft Keynote Lecture: George Brandis' Reflections on Politics and Diplomacy

Last month, the UQ PPE Society hosted the Statecraft Keynote Lecture, featuring the Honourable George Brandis KC, former Senator for QLD, Attorney-General for Australia, and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.

This episode is a recording of that lecture, entitled "Reflections on Politics and Diplomacy". The lecture ends at around the 45 minute mark, after which we’ve included half an hour of the best questions from our audience Q & A.

Listen now to get George Brandis' takes on the future of the Liberal party, the Tory leadership contest, Scott Morrison's 'secret ministries' scandal, and the general irrationality of politics.
