We talked to Bridget McKenzie, Nationals Senator for Victoria since 2011. Senator McKenzie has held ministerial office in the Turnbull and Morrison Governments and has served as her party’s Senate leader since 2019. In late 2020, McKenzie authored ‘John McEwen: right man, right place, right time’ (Connor Court), in this book she argues that his policies, known as ‘McEwenism,’ forged the nation’s post Second World War economic boom ushering in an era of unprecedented full employment and prosperity for all Australians. Does McEwenism, derided by the Right and dismantled by the Left have any relevance today.
