Auspol Explained

David Cox

Auspol Explained is an educational podcast aimed at helping you understand the Australian political system in an easy and simple way. It's also a Youtube series, so I occasionally say "video" and "watching." Don't worry: it's designed to have all the factual information in the audio so you're still learning!
