Election 2013 Podcast: Dennis Altman, Marilyn Lake

Welcome to the fifth of The Conversation’s Election 2013 podcasts.

Each week The Conversation will be sitting down with Australia’s top political minds to discuss all things election as we gear up for the big day on September 7.

This week, we discuss the conduct of the two leaders on the campaign trail, the politics of the family and political messaging with Dennis Altman, Professorial Fellow in Human Security at LaTrobe University, and Marilyn Lake, Professor in History at the University of Melbourne.

We hope you enjoy it.

Podcast produced by Georgina Connery.
