Politics … a total snoozefest, right? Wrong!

How our government works and the decisions it makes reaches into almost every part of our everyday lives. So settle in as we explore in a series of podcasts the history of Australian democracy and pull apart how our system of government works .. it’ll be heaps more fun than it sounds. Promise!

In this episode, we explore the history of Federation, how Australia became a country, why Canberra was chosen as its capital - and why thousands of meat pies were buried in the process...

Produced in association with the Museum of Australian Democracy
