  1. 1. Land Of The Fair Go?

    2025-10-15 · 56m

    Australians like to believe they live in the land of a fair go. Is this true or just a comfortable myth? We look beyond the myths to harder truths to reimagine a fairer future.

  2. 2. Making The Nation

    2025-10-22 · 50m

    Australians know little about the debates, dreams and compromises involved in making the nation in 1901. This makes it hard to change the constitution. If more were known, would change be possible?

  3. 3. Dreams of Land

    2025-10-29 · 52m

    Land is the heart of Australia. Battles over who owns the land, and how it should be used, are central to the Australian story. Is the old ethos of “finder’s keepers” the best we can do? Can the land be the foundation of even greater national wealth and pride?
