Barry Jones on a life of public service and the state of politics today
"Our politics is dumb and completely short-sighted and personally obsessed." At 93 Barry Jones, former ALP National President, writer and public intellectual, has a thing or two to say about politics and society.

Guest: Barry Jones, former ALP politician, writer and social activist.
Producers: David Marr and Catherine Zengerer
