Nick Dyrenfurth, executive director of the John Curtin Research Centre and author of Getting the blues: the future of Australian Labor. Emma Dawson, executive director of Per Capita. Also Britain is heading towards the most unpredictable and important general election in living memory. Will it be enough to solve the Brexit crisis?

Mary Dejevsky, columnist with The Guardian and The Independent and former correspondent in Washington and Moscow.
